stay strong man.... You've gone quite a few days already, right? dont turn back now!

well... even though every install's different: '02 Trailblazer (stock 150amp alt) I ran Orion 2500D & 8002 off a Pioneer 860MP & 1/ott for about 6months off of the stock (circa 2002) Delco battery. This included a Buffalo winter (lots of headlight, heater, rear defrost). When I swapped in an Optima Blue (for burping mainly, but left it in), the Delco still stood @ 12.3vdc.

as far as the bed... Yeah. LoL. I agree with her though, we needed a new one. Both of us have back problems (her's from a drunk driver - me from being in a few bad brawls), so this one just isnt cutting it anymore. ....and, You know, for being 5'6" and a soaking wet 140lbs she sure can hog a queensize bed. No Tommy, no pics.

honestly... in my truck, sub's are the least of my worries. Prolly 40% of the time I am using it to haul, carry, or pickup stuff. I need the space more then I need the bass. Hence my strong preference for the dedicated mids - I've uninstalled a subbox/amp too many times for sake of using the SUV for what I bought it for. Hell, if I couldn't hide the 4ch amp completely out of the way, I was going to be running the comps & mids straight off of the deck. meh. I rarely get on the bass while commuting. I AM the person that turns the volume down at every redlight. April doesn't even understand me when it comes to that - I presume it's because she see's all these 40-70lb woofers around here and she still assumes I should listen to music the way that I did when I was 18. <shrug> A 15" diam, 11" deep woofer will prolly NOT last in the damn thing. The uber will prolly get pulled this week and resume her spot in the basement till I get going on HT. She WILL NOT be sold unless some very bad fortune comes along.

*poof*

i'm on a rampage.

ended up winning a set of pistons off of ebay... too bad I prolly dont need 'em now. bah, figure that out when they get here at this rate.

[/thinking aloud]

gah. not enough resources at the moment... I HATE that.

LP the rear channels for the subbies. i like the independant filters on the orion... hmmmm

would need to makeup a LP filter for mids. then just HP the front channels at the amp....

parrellel the front ch's to the mids & the comps... bridge the rear in a woofer... hmmm

I wonder if i can figure a way to run off a 4ch.... hmmm.... keep the 8004

rip this 4/ott out and step back down to 1/ott

find a 5ch amp... keep it hidden nice and out of the way...

(2) 8's ported. something where I can still use most of my cargo area for cargo...

maybe glass a cargo area box... slimline... right along the drvr side trim panel... something small. 1.0-1.5 ft.

use the kodas for 60-200hz in the rear doors.

BTW - dont buy from Iceteebone on CA.com... either he's a bad seller or a bad audiophile. both of these have coil scratch. audible through music to boot. but he "never noticed any problems"

gonna send these koda 6.5s out for repair/recone. i wonder how long that'll take,

need - new 6.5 comps up front. need to get to door panels (trim) though... kind of butchered the ones in there now. that wont be cheap.

one of these days I hope to reach contentment with my trucks audio.

chit... power cable. I have to order some. pronto. have to do up the Mazda and upgrade the Alero.
