lithium

i got mine before they went dealer based. the AA was about 20 bucks cheaper so not much difference. i think, if i would consider an ixl, id have to go with a 15. are these ok for ib? id like a sub i could try ib and if i dont like it i could throw it in a box. i would consider an mj18m but i dont have the height for an 18 ib. i should really stop looking at a sub when i really need to pic out some mids and tweets first.

i wish i could find a comparison between the ixl 12 and my AA arsenal. price wise its the same and i always wondered if the trade off between the two would be worth considering. im sure i could get 200 for my sub in its current box locally...

i really dont understand how anyone can sit in a car with that many speakers to begin with... maybe your hearing is shot or something... or maybe im wrong and we've all spent hours messing with xovers and TA for nothing... i mean who need TA when the speaker is practically in your ear right? haha seriously tho just cut the rear stage and through some g's on the front. you wont be disappointed

its not that hard to set up. even with some very rough xover setting my front stage sounded better active then with the passive cross over. (pg rsd component set)

wow thats interesting i pretty much ruled out a 6db slope without giving it a shot. i like how i have it set up now but ill deff try some larger underlap.

try 18 and see if works out for u better and deff try the under lapping aswell. the reason for the under lapping, i believe, is that the tweeter and woofer would be playing some of the same fequency around the xover point so u underlap to keep thing less peaky. im sure m5 will clarify this...

alright thanks

is there a certain place your selling the amps for people who are trading up? it would be cool if u made like an ebay store or something...

See the trade-in thread. ahh i see only new amps. figured it was worth asking. ill buy an amp from u some day just not anytime soon... u wouldnt happen to offer a college student discount would u? haha

damn i wish i had some cash to burn. are u still doing that trading thing for amps? i have a kenwood excelon kac-x10d...

sexy! what kind of application are these aimed for?

haha ya

i love me some box porn at 3 am!!!

u deff want to leave factory wire in

deff try the 2way first. i got mine up and running around xmas and i still mess with tuning all the time. i have no doubt that jumping int to a 3way set up would only cause u frustration... it will be some time till i attempt it myself.

what is your budget? cause if u play you system like you did with that backpack thing your going to have that whole school looking to steal your chit. im just being honest man, please dont go thru all the trouble of putting in nice gear and skimp out.

just get 2 type R's and a some amp that makes decent power... why put more then that in a beetle. chances are you'll skimp on an alarm and end up getting your system stolen....

nice box. ashamed to see the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's in there haha

yeah ive always heard good things about them. if anyone has run a different tweet with the carbon with good or better results please let me know. (budget is a concern aswell)

first we got pics of the doors sealed up. unfortunatly i did this in the cold and the clay i used around the woofer baffle in the driver side door didnt hold up. heres the tweet and woofer with the door panel on. i may try the tweet up in the factory location but they are sounding very good where they are now. hu. the trim piece that would normally hid the sliver mounting sheath thing will not fit due to the factory molding. i plan to take some black spray paint to cover the exposed silver/gray color. this view is equivalent to looking back from the front seat. however i positioned the camera lower to show the exposed endcap of the 250.2 this is why i want to get the rack more snug to the rear deck... however if you sit in the seat and glance back u cannot see the endcap. here is the basic layout of the rack before mounting. here is a view from the floor of the trunk. sub and box looking sassy haha the terminals are bolts... if ur wondering why they are off to the side its because i want to add the another pair and wire the vc's to them separately. need more wire first... view of amp rack from trunk. (notice the home made uber speaker wire for the sub!!!)

ok im going take some pictures now. the things i need to do yet are: 1. get the amp rack to hug the rear deck better. 2. fix rattles in the front doors. 3. fix rattles in/around the center console/dash 4. consider purchasing hybrid horn box design from thumper (if i can make the space im really interested in doing it for fun) 5. dress the rack up (wrap or paint) 6. sell the pg's to my bro and get some AA carbon mids and some tweets. (or mach 5 mids if i cant afford the AA's) 7.... tune tune tune

amen brother

thanks for the answers guys. but im wondering what would happen if u had lpf at lets say 80 with a 6 db slope and then a second point kinda close at like 90 hz with a higher xover slope like 18 or 24. i can picture it in my head but i would be nice if u could model it up for me johnecon just so i know if im right. thanks

sorry i ment carbons... i got a quote from nick back before xmas. if i get thru march with some cash to spare ill be taking him up on them. does anyone have the demension on the carbon mids? just gota make sure i can make them fit... also what would be some decent tweeters cheap tweets to match up with the carbons. right now i have my pg rsd components active. they aren't to bad but i think its time to move up.

here's where ive gotten my last 2 amps. its legit. ubid.com it should take u to all there kicker stuff.
