You guys have a problem admiting your wrong. The Altima and maxima run on the same wheel base so how could one be longer. And my wife's 2 best friends drive these cars and I have detailed them both many times, even drove the maxima to Florida over 2k miles so trust me I wish we had took the Altima cause it's has more interior room, more leg room, more head room, and hear is the important part for a system, a larger trunk. If I didn't have both setting in the driveway twice a week every week and hadn't researched and discussed this very same topic with the cars owners I would probably think like you that the higher end car is bigger but sadly the fact is it's not. If I'm wrong I will admit it but this time I'm not. And I'm not talking about this guys 2 door those are rare and are based off the 370z and they don't even make them anymore because they didn't sell. I may not be a stereo guru but I work with cars every day and have for 25 years.

Ow and not all coupes are 2 door, and not all 4 doors, are sedans. And since early 2000, the Altima has been bigger then the maxima to this day, except the very few 2 doors like this guys, which he never mentioned until after I had stated this fact. And once he mentioned that we got right back to trying to help him, until you came along and mis-read what I said, and started your childish tirade.

Aux cables are one of the worst for loosing sq. if you have the option a USB is slightly better. But a good CD, is your best audio source, if you have some just to check the difference between it, and the aux cable. Crutchfield actually has some graphs, and figures, for the differences between sources, and cables. Pretty good read.

Quote from Wikipedia "the third generation Altima grew enormously for this generation, as interior volume reached 118.8 cubic feet (3.36m3), the Altima's interior dimensions Even surpassed that of the higher end maxima, so the 2004 maxima was moved to the more upscale, full size bracket". Now this did change when they started using the d platform and that's what I got wrong, I thought his was a sedan instead of the coupe based off the 370Z. They only made a handful of those and the sedans are every where. But the fact remains, the two 3rd gen cars I had at the shop this week, where the ones I was speaking of, and setting side by side the Altima was bigger. I assumed from the trunk pick, it was the same car, but obviously after reading numerous post I missed where he said coupe, my bad. So now you know why I said, what I said. It wasn't that my fact was wrong, it was because we where talking about 2 different cars. No need to get snippy over a simple mix up. We are all human, and have a lot going on, and can easily miss a detail, like platform of a car, but that shouldn't be an excuse for someone to use it as a opportunity, to belittle someone, or to try and prove their perceived superior intellect. I'm sure I can find a mistake you have made, and point it out, but I'm not petty, nor feel the need to, as we all make simple mistakes. A true intellect would try and find the miscommunication, instead of jumping on the simple mistake like a dog in heat. This type of attitude serves no one, and only makes the truth of said, (fact) harder to figure out.

I was talking about the base not the V. I already said I looked at Cadillacs site and it said $86k.

Go look at car connection that's the prices they list. As soon as you type in CTS-V on google it's the very first thing to come up.

Ow and the trunks are still the same size, so it doesn't matter how many doors it has.

Ha take it up with Nissan if you don't like their specs, all I said was I didnt forget the maxima. I like how someone else changes the subject and then you blame me.

I was looking at car connection I guess they where left over 2016's but they where new. But yea when I looked at caddy's site for 2017's it did say starting at $85.999.

How is talking about the car he owns "off topic" I didn't bring it up someone else did, I was just stating his car is in fact bigger.

Not much use in comparing a sub I can't even get anymore, to a sub that's every where, for little of nothing. Unless you want to give us some of your brahmas for a comparison.

You have plenty of room for 2 10's it doesn't matter if your box is shorter, wider, or deaper as long as you got enough air space and port area. As long as they fit and have enough air behind the pole piece for cooling your fine.

Yea I was around in the old days to my man and JL, kicker, and fosgate helped start all this car audio stuff, before them it was all pro audio drivers shoe horned into a car. And yes the brahma is another awesome woofer, I like those to, but never saw them around much, nobody in the southeast ran then at any shows that I can remember, except world finals in Lebanon tenn. i saw some there. And yes I know many woofers can sound good, it all comes down to install, but there are slight differences. I'm just saying out of the 100 different brands I have used and heard JL is probably one of my favorites. My favorite would probably be a UL driver, those sound as accurate to real life music as I have heard but talk about a high price, there out of my league but I would love to have a couple.

Probably my favorite amp is a US2000X, I have that was reworked by the factory for their comp van. I don't know exactly what they did to it but I blew 2 death penalty 15's in 10 minutes with it and the gain was set at 1/4.

Never mind you mean the Phoenix gold m amps and yes them was some sweet sounding amps I loved my m100, m50, and ms275. I had two crunch on the ms275 that hit pretty good for 2 12's.

What are M amps. Memphis, mmats, ma audio, maxxsonic?

I just googled it and they start at $45k and the V and cts-v premium are $60 and $65 but yes by the time you financed and paid all the payments it would inch close to $80-$90k. Slightly used would be the way to go on one of those for us any ways. I got that avenger used with 20k miles on it for $12k still under warranty. It has 40k miles on it now.

Well she just wants the car, she don't care about the engine. So the one she wants is like $40k maybe a little more not sure.

The Altima has 102 cubic foot of interior space and the maxima has 99. I know it's weird you would think the more costly car would offer more space like most car makers.

No I didn't forget. The maxima is nissan's top tear model as far as options, but it's not their largest car size wise. The Altima is actually a little bigger but not as nice. I actually worked on both this week and was kind of surprised the Altima was a bigger car. Look it up.

My wife has always wanted one of those cts's. She doesn't care about the v but that's what I would want myself.

I don't blindly support anyone, I base my decisions on what my ears tell me. I'm like you, I have 25 years worth of audio in my closets, garage, barn, and so on. Plus I have many friends that have ran all kinds of stuff over the years. And of all the systems I have ran and heard my 3 12w6V1's on Phoenix gold M100 was my favorite sq setup. It was in a tiny hot hatch with a custom 4 cubic foot box fired at the back glass. Even the 13w7 I have now, doesn't compare, yes it's louder but doesn't have that sweet soft low sound, the 6's had. Maybe it was the AB power or the install, but either way I know what my ears tell me. I also have some of the original kicker L7's that sounded ok to be as loud as they where. And I don't mind paying a little more to support a american made product. You notice I don't own any foreign cars. I have a lot of family in Detroit that work at ford, chevy, and dodge.

Did you ever think maybe your eBay jl is a fake, it happens a lot. And for spl and price I will agree the SSA's are better but for sq I do prefer the W6 but that's just my preference not a fact or anything. And as far as price there are plenty of company's that charge even more. Morel, MMats, UL, Audison, and so on. Maybe it's a southern thing but we like our JL, DD, and sundown.

Yea I know the infinity's suck, but it's better then the stock speakers, and I got them free out of a used car I sold, so it was better then nothing. Out of my whole system the only thing I got any money in, is the subs and amp. But when I do the build in the new car, I'm gonna buy some mids and highs and use the rest. Just waiting on my box guy. That's why I asked when the tweets would be available.
