(raises hand) Well put. Squeak It always amazes me when I try to support local shops, their utter lack of knowledge and slap it in there attitude usually keeps me shopping online.

I think denim gets the prize for that one. There ya go.

I totally agree with the value aspect I think integrity, honesty, and service is disappearing at an alarming rate as well. That's why I went with Mike, thats why I had no qualms picking up a spool of cable from Ryan, I had Kent whip me up a box because, I frankly don't have the time. Personality, service with a smile, and a good product at an honest price, with great customer service to back it up and a reputation that proceeds them., the only people out under these standards are the little independants it seems. There are several people on this forum I would/will give my buisness to. I think bigger companies and corp's tend to forget we are people. We become numbers and products become more geared for the "mindless" masses. Well, I have a mind, dammit!!!! Now, I buy what suits my needs from someone who can offer personall service. I was all set to buy DD subs, but when I emailed them, it took them longer to respond than it took me to find SS I was all set to buy RE mids, emailed them two weeks ago and still no response, Seas is looking mighty tempting right now as well as adire. How friggin hard is it to have someone who responds to the emails?????? Theres my 2 cents.

Good Chit sir

Yep forgot about the 2 ohm limit for the Rl-p's. Check around for Phoenix Gold Ti series. I have one sitting in my garage that the RL-p replaced. It sounded great, took the wattage you have to give, and got loud to boot. Another option is Boston Accoustics, great sounding subs (my brother has 2 10's in his truck) that get loud as well.

If u can flex on the budget a little, go with the Rl-p. I got mine in 1.25 sealed and couldn't be happier. Won't be the loudest on the block (pretty close though), but will be one of the most musical subs you ever heard. next choice would be the DD 1000 or 2000 series, may have to go a little bigger on the box but will get loud .

Just buy a jig from parts xpress, you'll cut circles like a champ. For 2nd install, looks damn good. Nice work.

Thanks guys, I got a little research to do.

Happy birthday kiddo, my son will be 16 a week from today......Gawd I feel old

There is a group buy going on Exxcessive Amperage Alts on another forum, still alittle pricey, but would feed the Zed all it can handle. How do you like that amp?

Supa, How did the DD's sound on the bottom end? I am planning on running them from 60Hz up to about 250Hz, and bringing the Rainbows in at about 150 Hz depending on how they sound overlapped. What size ported enclosure have you used them in?

Just loaded up the Ramones to listen to today......Got to agree with KickenAudio though, can't say enough good things about my Sirius.....Hard Attack, Hair Nation, Octane......great chit commercial free.

Ryan where would you suggest looking for the Lotus? I know Madisound has them, just want to comp their prices. Dennisp, did you order you extremis straight from adire? Are they 8 ohmers or 4's. I have heard the 4" versions in a home setup running full range as the surrounds and they were quite impressive. Mad power isn't my priority, looking for straight SQ and something to provide foundation down to about 60Hz. Thanks for the other suggestions, will be checking into those today.

I am sure it has been asked before, but I am looking for some real experiences with midbass drivers. I snagged a set of Rainbow Pro components (4" and tweet) cheap and am looking for something to give the midbass some foundation. I have used MB Quart exclusively for about 17 years and just switched to Focal about a year ago. i am interested in RE, DD, Seas Lotus, or anything in that range. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Kevin Oh yeah, they will be mounting in the doors of my truck (see sig) along with the 4's and the tweets in the pillars.

Welcome abroad.....aboard

Damn, that was a lot of work for stinkin x-overs How do you like the RE's? I am in the market for some new midbasses and am considering them and DD's among others.

Iron Maiden (Early Years) Wasp (just saw them Monday night) Bad Company Motor City Mad Man (Nugent) Judas Priest Zakk Wylde And so many many more

Welome Aboard

Sweet

I have mine in 1.25 sealed with a Orion 1200D running it at 1 ohm. At this size enclosure the sub is probably the most musical sub I have ever heard. Mine goes down real, real deep, get pretty loud, but .....has it power limitations. on reading the gain setting string in the amp section, setting yours accordingly, and enjoying your sub without breaking it. I have mine crossed at 65 HZ at 18db and it sounds

Sweetness bro How about 12's for the wifeys truck and the 8's in custom fiberglass pods on the ape hangers for chits and giggles. Nice new toys

Just got a quote for our trucks thru the GB. A 250 will run $304 shipped with $17.00 more refunded back to you if more than 10 people buy (gm 5.3L). I am sending paypal tonight (am on unsecure hotel line right now) He said he has sold 6 already so getting more than 10 shouldn't be a prob. I am running about 1450 -1500 daily and my stock alt HATES me. Also got a good quote on the Kinetic battery deal at CA.com, picking that up next week.

Thanks for the link, perfect timing

Dual 2 ohms wired in parallel = 1 ohm
