Rear side hatch window loose from bass
Seems the consensus is the 1/4" strip or the window will stick out. I get the garage back today so I'll look at it this afternoon. Hope it's as simple as tightening the bolts back up

Doubt that would stop the slapping. Too soft.

What is the 1w/1m measurement of the 8ohm version?

Evil 15 power/enclosure
Remember, unless you double (or more) power, you won't really hear a difference. Many easier ways to get louder/lower. I'm jelly. Hopefully getting some SSA toys this Christmas o.o

Rear side hatch window loose from bass
Moving to Illinois in the morning, first thing to do once the truck is unpacked then. I believe the panels can be pulled back, but I need to clean my sunroof drains anyway.

Rear side hatch window loose from bass
The glue or whatever has loosened and the window moves perhaps a millimeter either way and rattles super bad. Discovered basshead radio on iOS yesterday. How can I resucure the window? It does not have to be pretty. My hatch window is spray foamed in place. 98 mountaineer (explorer)

Double din
If you keep the number of variables (system components) low, it's way easier to dial in. Believe me I used to love throwing shit in the signal chain because it's "cool" or it does that one additional thing, but if you're buying equipment to make up for other equipments flaws, where did the problem really originate?

More like, I have to buy the pioneer first now, my sony xav-63 is skipping, shutting off and randomly selects songs to play after a list finishes on iphone. =[ On the upside, fourth battery soon, (free) buncha maintenance got done on the truck, one notably being: gained a whole volt at idle by cleaning my coil pack grounding points of rust.

So, 80PRS it is, less monies is gewd monies I don't like using amp xovers because they are a guessing game. My trophy for myself, whenever I conquer two way was that I'd purchase Morel drivers for my three way. I've heard they are a very neutral sounding driver, which is what I'm after. I've only ever heard maximo's in a shop wall, which was completely stupid and I feel, non representative. If it's a brand name = price thing, I'm very happy with Dayton they've never done me wrong. Plus I like to show people up with budget products. It's sorta my thing. Except for the FI of course. TL:DR; pioneer it is following deadening. Still woefully unsure of driver choice, nowhere in town to audition anything less than laughable.

Well, right now I'm running three amps. Sub, mid, tweet. I cross at 50hz for the sub, 100hz for the mids (or I violate my poor Rockfords lol) and 3khz for the tweets. This is all on the amps now, if the prs can handle it for now, I'll purchase that first, but the Mini just seems much much more flexible and more befitting a permanent install. I'd likely play with it in the neer, and make it permanent in the two door. When I try to bandpass my Rockfords they sound weird, spec sheets say they are meant to be ran wide open anyway.

My truck is my "me space" at this time in my life. After being homeless it accumulated everything you could want in a space to stay for a while, albeit unintentionally. Everything from non perishables to blankets and flashlights. Obviously the entertainment. I'm weird about my truck.

I really like pioneer HU's and not sure if I'd be used to just a knob yet; it's only 200 and it can be utilized for many projects to come. while driving a tweak here and there is comforting then I can set it once im home, on the Mini. I'd love a P99rs x_x jesus *drool* Once the medication levels, I want to put a touchscreen in the dash of my truck with the mac mini. Once the computer is in I'll probably move to just pots under the screen.

I think it's time for the miniDSP and a new HU (Mine is starting to crap out and argue with my phone when it comes to shuffling playlists.) also, seven band eq, no longer satisfactory. That plus the deadening should be pretty pretty good. 80prs and a mac mini sounds tasty. I could use a break from a touchscreen for now though, I'm spoiled. (This is my first radio). 80 prs should be around 200 and a minidsp is 99 so, about five hundo to finish the door project. My brother's two door exploder isn't totaled after all so im gonna keep trying to snag it I also think a single 18 is *sigh* adequate for a long time. At least til the midbass is overpowering. Onwards and upwards!

I appreciate your input as well if you want a blatantly honest answer I'm experiencing a set of side effects I'd rather not go in depth on from new medications that effects my ability to work with words and text and It gets really bad when I don't eat and right now I'm way behind on my bills and I just told you I chose to blow money on an image dynamics amp. So without getting personal, and without anyone giving me advice on problems my daily life as I know I got em lol Thank you, phasing is helpful. My tweets sound better now. M5, I need to be patient and perfect a 6.75 + Amt 2way before I can move up to a larger driver?Beginning to think bass isn't what I crave most in audio damnnnnnitttt x_x Between now and ordering deadening, what else can I do? (What other info can I provide to make that answerable?)

So important to me right now, it's a separate post. As soon (the damn second) I have that buck sixty for mlv and ccf, doors are being completed and eight's are being ordered (don't want the final drivers in til they have a proper home) but as of right now I've sealed all holes, clayed the doors with plastilina like 5lbs each, and made rings for my 6.75's. I now have them in better phase and time aligned and I just need MOAR MIDBASS I was gonna was ask because I couldn't find shit anywhere on it but I finally figured it out its an Image Dynamics Q700.2

I'm singularly, lliterally, ONLY mad because of what it takes to feed them. I bought the bigger mids amp because I could cook steaks on my Lanzar aftee a listening session trying to get them to produce a satisfactory level (and man, I don't mean bangin, I mean a satisfactory for normal sessions) What's a nice efficient 8" 8ohm midbass that could mate with some dayton AMT3's? I'll eat the price tag and snag em, by now you should know, I trust you man. You've never steered me wrong (just made me feel silly)

The mini is definitely on the list when the money is right, didn't know that was a feature oh lawdy ima sleep so much better tonight. I did however have a stroke of luck in flipping my left tweeter and passenger mid. My logic (correct or not) was shortest and longest wavelength respectively. I'm going to try a few more combinations next weekend after a solid seven days of having it like this. I'm pretty pissed my mids are not only 6's but 8ohm because I have a feeling this ID Q series 2ch has some singing to show me. I liked those GR's but thinking if I gave that company a shot I'll try these gr-research.com/m165xwoofer.aspx satisfactory midbass is so hard for me to achieve...I'm an spl guy but right now midbass that snaps you in the chest > literally anything else ever because wtf

Raising the stage above the dash
Fuck me in the face with a pitchfork my left tweeter was ruining my whole install.TOTALLY UNDERRATED advice. Mucho gracias senór. Let me ask this next one carefully. Did you mean both left to right as in the entire left side was generally phased separate from your right or that your left tended to be phased opposite for example left tweet in right tweet out left mid out right tweet in I ask, because even though I pride myself on the of accuracy of my ear, between fatigue and severe anxiety (antagonized by uncertainty in my absolute favorite obsession) I am intimidated by the thought of switching each driver one at a time over and over all, what, twenty four times and deciding what sounds best. I'd literally rather make a switchboard for tuning.

Cone Area & Cone Extension
No, you answered exactly what I was trying to ask if travel effected tone. I may have used a few more words than needed lol
-
Cone Area & Cone Extension
Nah, I've wondered this for a while. An eighteen and a twelve with equal displacement, motorforce, suspension compliance, moving mass, should have equivalent output yes? Or does the amount of air affected instantaneously factor in to the tone?
-
Cone Area & Cone Extension
Idk i think what he's saying is say a single eighteen moved an inch, and a single twelve moved two and a half, with similar displacement and assuming equal cone mass, what's the difference in output?
