  1. Is part of my thread gone? i could have sworn i posted a reply to M5's suggestion to spend about as much as the subs, for a front stage.
  2. I have to agree with the fact that subs in your trunk garuntees a ticket, but you can at least call him a traitor. but wait. What sub-lover would give another bumper a ticket? bull dude, bull. He's just bustin your nuts. I say, pay the ticket, crank it in the parking lot, and haul ass outta there.
  3. *pukes* Can you write an actual sentence or are you only capable of ellipses? 2 ohm components are a marketing gimic and not helpful in your overall plan, the RE's do NOT have especially good midbass, I'd "love" to see you put 300wrms to their tweeter, and who cares about power when your efficiency is crap. All in all that was not a good recommendation at least for the reasons cited. Oh the CDT's you picked out surely won't have midbass though. M5, what would you recommend as a front stage for ~$350 or under? that price is just for speakers, i will use the according sundown amps for highs, for sure, but the sub amp is either a SAZ-3000D (if i can find one used) a SAZ-3500D, or an Audioque 3500D. I have my heart set on Xcons. I am looking for crystal clear sound, without breaking the bank. When i crank the subs, i want to hear the words, loud and proud. Not just tearing up my ears, but actually sounding good. I hear good things about Seas tweets and Peerless mids. Here is that ridiculous car with the giant rims: http://www.hiphopcars.com/cars/40_inch_rims.jpg Totally random, i flipped on the tv and Michael Moore's "Sicko" was on. Cuba, whom we were all taught to dislike, has far superior healthcare. Castro is entirely evil i guess. For our $7k per person medical costs, they have $245. I'm pretty disappointed. Anyway, yeah where is Jon?
  4. Separately, you have to match the gains, which can be difficult, see as setting the gain 1/2 way on both doesnt necessarily mean they are putting out the same power. i say strapped, cuz im lazy. What's your electrical like?
  5. That gave me a good laugh. Come on now the spokes walk all over the blades. I think the blades were a one hit wonder man. Spokes have been nicely rooted for years. As for the cars it would be the linc. I had an 87 linc and Id rather have it a little newer. The 02 is gonna have so much better acoustics to start with than the 89. Its 13 years older. Easy choice for me. ...and where the hell is big jon?! Sooo...what'll it be? Thats what i'm wondering. Incidentally, has anyone seen pictures of that ridiculous purple car on 40" rims?
  6. I've never seen them before. I see them All the time. Some people dig em, not for me. Atleast the 3 spoke design. does anyone know of any 2 spoke or one spoke plus counterweight rims?
  7. x2 its like comparing a Bentley to a Drag car
  8. 50% vic, 50% lincoln. 50% blades, 0% spokes. So, in the event that i choose the lincoln, (this is what i hear most of you posting), what should i do to make keeping it pretty, a little easier? And on to my second question, what setup(s) do you guys think would make the most of the space available? My first thought was two 15's, after looking at Jons trunk, those seem to fit nice and cozy. My goal is output, without making a fartbox. I'd like to see 145-150dB on music, but keep it tuned low, maybe 28hz, i want every note to be loud and proud. Off the top of my head, i would love to see two Xcon 15's i there, and a 3500D audioque, or sundown, but with the space requirements and a tuning that low, would the overall size be too big? I have a couple songs i would love to show off with when i get a car, the two that some up first are "dopeman" (slowed to 83%) by OJ da Juiceman, and Never scared Chopped & Screwed by Bonecrusher. Just gets me all excited And a question to all you lincoln owners, would it sound good, to remove the speakers from the rear deck, to let more bass into the cabin? Finally, for a front stage would these be suffiecient? Only 90rms, but they look pretty good. http://www.woofersetc.com/p1103/EF61CV-CDT-Audio-EuroFit-65"-2Way-Component-Speakers.htm thanks, -Chris
  9. For each situation name the largest gauge wire you would ever consider using, (for amps, lets just say anything will fit) In a Competiton woofer: In a Super Tweeter: In a Mid-bass speaker: In an SQ woofer: Power cable for a Competiton amp: Mosfet in a Competiton amp: Ipod headphone voice coil: HU Power cables: Thanks, just wondering.
  10. Is that a port or a section of a subway tunnel
  11. Definitely a good point.
  12. For car audio, yes. I hate how i get caught up looking at xmax and rms and judging woofers. Never judge a book by it's cover Never judge a woofer by its Xmax
  13. Hey Duran, i'd love to get your avatar as a T-shirt
  14. So. i have been wondering, what is better for bass. An '02 lincoln towncar, or the 89 crown vic. both have trunks the size of a small house, and both guzzle gas. But what would be the better choice? For the sake of argument, both are show off cars, music-wise, and for looks, both would sit on 22" blades (or maybe spokes for the Linc). The intention is a low-end beast. crushing lows. For whichever you choose, list the setup you would think is best for the space available. I am considering one or the other as a 2nd, 3rd, or maybe 4th car after I run in the bug. I would like the lincoln, but my concern is that, I lack the experience in cars to treat it the right way, i'm very clumsy, and I would be horrified if the interior of my lincoln got trashed. The vic is less flashy, but the it only gets 10-12mpg, and its very heavy. What rims would you choose for either? Thanks for the feedback, -Chris Oh and, goal is 145dB+ on music.
  15. Me either....
  16. The Recommended volume is: Ok, sorry, it was a dumb joke
  17. SpeakerBoy replied to Jakethesnake's topic in XS Power
    Nothing of any use at all, but i think Volvo's are very square, literally.
  18. yeh that sounds smart.That will free up more money for the other things i need.Only have 5000.00 to spend.Thanks for your guidence. Only? Man. i need a job.
  19. Hey, aside from minute fluctuations, in theory, would a d1 and a d4 work, if wired @ 2ohm? Edit: for sake of argument, make it of the same sub, different coils.
  20. http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=23&idproduct=58 I was hoping for 5krms, another LMS Ultra type deal, but still, its cute. Oh and btw, Sundown
  21. Holy 0% image Batman edit: Internet FAIL Yeah, i've wondered about this, i think no dustcap looks sexy, like the Xcons, but i would think that different variations might affect surface area and the way it behaves under power.
