Also a little more cone area, now if we were talkin four 8s this might be a different story, and 4 would be closer to the price of a loaded btl, and around the same box size

No offence, but oh god to these people recommending skull candy. They're the walmart sony xplod of the headfi world.. Or maybe funky pup lol.....In fact stay away from sony for buds too imo.... Its been a while since I've been in the market for new headgear but the jvc marshmallows were always a popular budget bud among the headfi crowd. They were like 25 bucks a couple years ago, now they can be had for as low as 6 or 7. Also, lots of guys mod them to change the sound, you can google kramer mod marshmallow, there should be a thread floating around somewhere on the head-fi.org forums. Sennheiser usually makes decent stuff, I personally have no experience with them though. Also saying you want very good response everywhere doesn't really tell us much, and is a fairytale at that price, thats like asking to have a high end system in a car for 100bucks lol. With that being said, the marshmallows "sound good"

I don't know why people say don't do the Q its for sound quality and not loud, but turn around and recommend the icon. The two drivers are quite on par with each other, if you're not recommending the Q, there is no reason you should recommend the icon. /rant The bl will sound great, as will a Z or many other subs, they may not be a "sq" driver, but i'm guessing you care more about something that will sound great and get loud doing it then sq itself. You may not even like the way sq sounds. It doesn't have to be "sq" to sound good.

Because stuff happens when people do something stupid like wire their amps to .0000000001 ohms And theres not really all that many refurbs floating around, i mean db-r has a handful and thats about it.

I personally would pay the extra for the sundown. Not so much for the extra power, which it will do. But for the fact that its built like a tank and chances are it'll outlive you if you don't do anything stupid to it lol. Also they tend to hold resale value pretty good if you ever do plan on getting rid of it to upgrade down the road. You can save a bit if you go with a refurbished from db-r instead of new...

hey if you're planning on that and don't mind paying a little extra...... Ever though about a btl? it will be louder than the bl even on 1000 watts, and later down the road when you upgrade your electrical you can get a much bigger amp to put on it.

Oh god i would give my right nut for the new 300hp euro rs focus.... not my left though, I've grown kinda fond of it. I've never seen one in person though. i do like all of the rs and st ones, hell all of the euro foci look better then what we get.

I mean seriously people, you bought an amp with the right amount of power for your situation, if you wanted more power at the time you should of bought a bigger amp, instead of crying because there's now a new and different amp on the market now that has more power then what you bought.

well if youre looking at used maybe the svt version of the focus could change your mind ;P tis what I drive.

Unless he's looking at going used, the focus isn't made in a hatchback anymore. Which leads me to suggest a mazda 3 hatchback. mazda is kinda owned by ford, ford having 33%ish stake in mazda iirc, although that may be out of date. nevertheless they still share platforms with ford, and the mazda3 is basically a focus with a different body, better suspension and a different engine.

Nah man that's just acting as a passive radiator.

truth monster=a liar=b Say to one what will the other tell me if i ask if it is the liar and pick the one that you are told is the liar as the truth monster(a). If you happen to ask the truth(a) monster, he will say that the other(b) will say that he(a) is the liar. If you happen to ask the liar(b) he will say that the other (a) will say himself(a) is the liar. edit: and also, three sons and two fathers go duck hunting. They each get one duck, for a total number of only 3 ducks between them all. How is this possible?

iirc on RF amps the subsonic filter is fixed at 28hz, not adjustable... Just one more reason to go with sundown, you can set it where you need it. Although neither are bad amps by any means whatsoever.

Yes, copper is copper, nothing magical that makes it either "speaker" or "power" wire.

They are two very simular subs made by the same people to achieve the same goal. You can't really go wrong either way.

You simply are not going to get enough heat from an iron for something as big as 1/0, at least no iron I've ever used... if you want to solder something that big, use a torch. You don't really melt the solder directly with the iron, you kinda heat the wire for a little while and then get your solder and let the wire melt it. Not saying you can't touch the solder to the iron a little bit after you have the wire heated up, but the general idea is to heat the wire itself.

way too small for a ported 12, you could squeeze a 10 in that space, or a 12 sealed.

yes you can get a new basket and recone, not too sure on prices though, emailing scott would be your best best. Or selling it and just buying a new 12 might be another way to go if you can find a buyer.

Just set everything up correctly and play the as you would any other day, there is no reason to "go easy" on them or whatever just because they are new.

Mids have to go in the doors, tweets however I can play around with and mount them wherever sounds best in my car to my ears.

Thanks for the help anyways.... I've been thinking the pio 800/880 or maybe trying out an alpine, the 9887. also for mids some seas CA18RNX as they seem to be able to play pretty high up. as for tweets, still looking.... I can get them pretty well on axis if i went for some that weren't full sized. Also I forgot to mention, I've already deadened my doors, so no need to factor that in to the price.....

This is your stereo, so just play around with it and set it where it sounds the best to your ears.

yeah I saw that thread, but I'm worried about off axis response with that route, as the install in this car won't be perfect. And i have been thinking about something along the lines of the 880, or a high end alpine...

Chrome usa's ...cell phone pics, my camera crapped out on me.... ....anyways *bump* anybody got any suggestions? never gone active before but I'd like to
