  1. i could be wrong on its active capabilities but under audio features it shares everything with the 880 accept the burr brown decoders... 3 way crossover network is shown under features... if its incapable what would i need to make it a active setup?
  2. Heres the problem, i dont know if my amp "does rated" power.... Its rated at 1000RMS at 1ohm. Only fused with 2-30 amp fuses... To me that says that this amp should only be capable of 700 RMS at 12.5 due to efficiency as well. So if i were to set it with a DMM it could be dangerous. Anyone know where i can get a good deal on an O-scope?
  3. stock mounting locations are the tweeter at the top of the door panel pointing towards the center of the car at head height, woofers are at the bottom front of the doors directed toward the lower middle of the front compartment. Installation skills, well pops is a carpenter so he builds me whatever enclosure i want and i help but i can fiberglass fairly well due to working in the body shop a bit before i became a mechanic. Im not sure of the crossover points available as i cannot get my account on pioneer to work to get a manual for my 7800MP, would anyone else happen to know its crossover points?
  4. Okay, from what ive read over the past few weeks ive decided that i want to go with an active frontstage. My DEH-7800MP is capable of this from what ive read. I plan on glassing the front doors to accept a well acoustically matched woofer and tweeter combo, i was hoping someone here could give me some suggestions on what woofer and tweeter to use so that i have little flatspots in my sound. Also for reference i hate harsh pingy tweeters, i don't particularly like all my highs to sound like crashing symbols! lol.... With switching to an active front stage this also means i will be completely losing my rear audio am i correct? Thats the only thing ive been confused about! Thanks in advance, Chris McDonald
  5. Heres the dilemma, i was just driving home from my friends when i noticed a burning electrical smell from the rear of my car. When i got home i opened the trunk and proceeded to check my dustcap to see if it was hot but it was ice cold and the stink was coming from my port. The sub was playing undistorted still and is fairly new. Should i worry about this? Sub feels fine and my gains were set by ear. No noticable clipping. Any comments, advice, or otherwise would be wonderful... Thanks! Sub: RE SX 15 - 4 cuft box tuned to 34 Amp: MA HC2001 Source: Pioneer DEH-7800
