Any good ways to break wood glued joints? Other than a circular saw...which may come next...

Only 3 grand? :( How about five Spawn of Frugel Horns Would be fun...

You...make sure you select a BTL?

What's the rest of the "system"?

I don't really care about car audio anymore But since you asked, a pair of PG Tantrums, the 1200.1 & 500.2. Any amp that does rated power cleanly should work for what you're trying to do.

Simply having lots of undistorted power is not SQ.

Ignore maximum power. The amp you have won't do an actual 1.8kW, you'll be lucky to get a kilowatt out of it. Re-tune the setup with that in mind and you shouldn't blow any more fuses...preferably, by finding someone with an oscilloscope and setting it that way.

The Seas L series (aluminum) have gotten some pretty favorable reviews to the Excels...but unless they're directly on axis, not so sure. In a car, I'd probably go with the Nextels if you wanted something a little cheaper...

I bet Bush is trying to figure out where he went wrong

Weird, board's loading fine for me...and I'm on the laptop now which usually gets sucky reception on the wireless...

Where are the pictures? I got pictures of me looking like an idiot up here...

Audio Technology C-Quenzes

Moral of the story is...use proper amps

IMO, sealed...

I was testing my silent jetpack, I won't bother you again

Nope, never really wondered.

I'd go sealed...

Don't count out Craigslist as well, you can be amazed at what people really close to you are selling

Not that I can think of, without going into more specialized places...Decware's board has some good deals every now and then for really low-powered tube geeks & the high efficiency crowd...AudioCircle seemed like they had decent stuff for sale, but that place is too full of asshats for me to go back...Audiokarma is like a flea market that's too expensive for what's being sold, but always has a couple McIntosh pieces for sale... Audiogon is where it's at. I bought my turntable from someone on there, got in touch with someone for a preamp and ended up picking it up 15min from my folks' place...sure, you have to be careful like everywhere, but it's not quite the clusterfuck Ebay is.

4 ohm single or dual voice coil? Most of the time, if you're looking to maximize power out of an amplifier you want to run it at the lowest impedance load it's stable to...

Nah this guy hadn't bid at all, then he put in his bid at 1 second left. which is cool I guess he still put in a higher price then I put in which is all really wanted to spend so it wasn't like he cheated, just been bidding hard on these mother lovers and can't catch a break. Sounds like he had a program bidding for him... I snipe like crazy, but call me old fashioned, it's just un-gentlemanly to have a computer do a person's job

He better not post in here until tomorrow afternoon Have a good one Tom!

With that kind of a budget? Audio Technology C-Quenze 6.5's Seas Nextels in a 2-way, or Excels in a 3-way, as well...

Balmy.
