Nap time... Be up in a couple hours to head over to Dave's...

I think you should get some Velcro or duct tape and start experimenting with what position sounds best for your install. That might be down low, high up, somewhere in between, on the dash...who knows

Indeed.

I don't agree with the "upstage" idea - if mounting tweets on the pillar raises the stage height, just put the tweets there No need for two sets, and it ruins any chance of having a clearly-defined image when you have the same frequency coming from two distinct points at the same time. It's a good way for them to sell more tweeters, that's for sure.

I would run 1/0 from the battery until you get near the amp, running into a distribution block where you can go down to 4awg.

Just because a Type R has a low Fs, does not mean it's a driver meant for sound quality.

There's a bunch of us out in the western part of VA for school or otherwise

Indeed. Those boards do pretty well.

Welcome! Where in VA are you?

You don't want to know how much I've spent there Sometimes I've been able to meet up with the seller in person...which is always cool, and very safe from a shipping/payment perspective.

If it's a decent DMM, it should be relatively linear at that frequency.

The day that stupidity becomes addicting, well... I don't even know what you are supposed to do there. Complete waste of internet space if you ask me. I don't think it is a complete waste. Some people do take it to the extreme. But for me its a good way of keeping in touch with friends from other colleges, etc. which is why I hace Facebook as well. I do like facebook more because it is a little more business than myspace. You also have the option to do "Where I've been" application or a courses that displays all your courses and yadda yadda. Facebook is also a good way to introduce parties! W00T! lol None of my friends go there so it won't help squat. Then you shall be a PIONEER!!! Frankly, people over 30 with Myspace pages are a little...suspect. I use Facebook from time to time, when I first joined it was useful because it got me in touch with people I hadn't talked to in years...but I don't want the pucking page flashing and annoying music playing and all the other trappings of Myspace.

Should be fine, and extra battery power is never wasted

Mmm, Patron.

If you're OK with used stuff, I would lurk on the solid state and multichannel amp sections of Audiogon...really good selection of stuff there, without quite the idiot factor of Ebay...

I really want to see pictures of this going together

No need to double post, one section is fine

Better build quality, in my opinion as well as others

I'm not really a fan of the Behringer processor/crossover they're recommending, but that's what they stock, so that's what they're going to recommend. I'd rather use something like a Rane or dbx if I was doing it. One of those receivers could be used as a preamp if it has a line-level full range output...you'll need power amplifiers to run active, Rotel, Parasound, Acurus, Marantz, Adcom, even pro audio gear like Crown or QSC would work for that...you're looking at six channels, ideally. Two for the planars, two for the midbasses, and two for the subs. I don't think that design needs additional subbass, but you could always go IB if you want to stick with the over-the-top theme

Since when did you become an SQueer? Nice work. Next you should do solid wooden cups

Well, if I were you I'd get rid of the 15" and if you're running 10's in the doors to use them as both midbass and subbass...the Germs would have to be on-axis.

The BLs, for example, have a listed Xmax of 21mm...which is right in line with other 12-spokes out there.

Personally, for a 2-channel + sub setup, I'd use a vintage integrated amplifier and a plate amp...something like a Marantz 1060, NAD 3020 and a 75-watt or so plate amp will be pretty reasonable in price and probably outlast you, which can't be said for a lot of new production stuff...

Happy birthday! Haven't noticed him around much anymore

Comparing output by looking at a video is, in a word, stupid. Don't listen to them, if you're concerned about output go by what you do on a sensor, and nothing else.
