Dcon review
I'll be adding a review in a month or so

I'll wait for Brad, if not I'll shoot him a PM. I'm also looking at the Tangband w6. It has great frequency extension on both sides of the spectrum. I feel as if I go with the ER I'll be lacking in the midbass department.

Oh, and this happened too. My seatbelt torx bolt was so rusted it made my torx bit actually bend. It slipped out and all of my force went into my knuckles on the plastic runner panel.

I'm pretty set on the ScanSpeak HDS. For the mid I was thinking of the ER18 that you had mentioned. I have a concern, that may actually not be a concern at all, about this. While looking at the frequency response graph I noticed that there is a drop off down low. Higher than I think I would like? Maybe not? ...help me... I'll be running a sealed Dcon for the subbass department.

The floor was by far the biggest thing with exterior noise. Shoot an email to Don Sambrooke over at SDS when you're getting ready to order. He'll walk you through everything. Excellent man to do business with.

This is me, sitting in my actual driving position. I think I'm going to remove my "OH SHIT" handles and go with this. I, unfortunately, believe this is my only option. As Sean said, car audio is compromises.

I did my ENTIRE truck for $483 shipped to my house. Jay, it's crazy how quite it is. I'm going to get some videos of a comparison between the bed and the access cab. It's crazy.

The only limitations are that they can't "ride" on the dash. I can get them about mouth height. The only modification I would have to do would be to lose my "OH SHIT" handles.

SSA DCON 10' D4 on 440-500 watts?
Probably, but you are going over manufacturers recommendations. Not recommended. Why not just set your gain a little lower? That's what that nice little knob is for.

I'm going to hit the floor with the deadener today. I believe this is going to the the most important part, so after I get that done I'll write a full review.

Okay, so I REALLY want to use a large format. I've done some thinking while at work, and will follow up with pictures. Is there a certain point where you mount your tweeters too high? Fine line? I think I'm deadening my floor tomorrow. Here's a few more pics of the deadener: The roof The technique I used for the cab, minus the actual pictures of the cab... The rear

What are your thoughts on a small format in a tweeter pod mounted on the sail panels. The A-pillars are going to be real tough with the vent I have. Unless I mount them higher on the pillar. Is that not advised?
-

Well as soon as I get a little more input on the tweeter, I'm going to go ahead and order them, the mids, and my Dcon.

More pictures of the deadener tomorrow. My midrange is going to go in the stock location. Unfortunately, I don't have that option for the tweeter. I want to go large format if at all possible. The only problem with that is, is that it limits my mounting locations to...one. I can't do a large format in the A-pillar or the kick. This is it: and the drivers side: The only problem I can see there is that the drivers side is significantly closer to my ear. Will my time alignment and EQ be able to fully correct that? If I decide to put them there and I really sacrificing THAT much?

I'm going to go outside and grab some pictures of my interior for tweeter locations. HOLD TIGHT!

The large hole in this picture (and a couple of the smaller ones) are open. They have nothing going into them. Should I seal those, and if the answer is yes, with what technique? Chances are I will be running a Seas ER18 as the mid.

Alright. I've got a few pictures at the moment. Only the doors so far, but he'll be sending the rest in a bit. Refitment was a PITA. I would say we had to trim the CCF and MLV 3-4 times. Our fault. It's our first time deadening.

Why ?!
It must be a marketing plow to get to you buy two boxes of pizza rolls. That three microwaved with three from a fresh box would make six, leaving your second box easily divisible. On a serious note. I wonder the same time I microwave ANYTHING like that. Chicken nuggets tend to be the other notorious ones.
