Welcome to the IHoP
Until they get employees that can actually help I am not so interested in B&M. Plus as far as I can find everything I bought isn't specifically available here. Give me choices and I'll choose.

Welcome to the IHoP
I've got a tertiary friend (ie I am not building a box for him). He has around $500 and wants a home sub. Obviously this fits: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-742 There is jack shit on CL. Any other ideas?

Welcome to the IHoP
We haven't ever done presents Well at least since getting married. Her watch broke, so I bought one. She hates our wood spoons so I bought some nice silicon ones. She's been bitching about no microwave to make popcorn so I bought a microwave, a microwave popper, 15lbs of gourmet popcorn. And that is pretty much it. Hope that the rest gets her tomorrow like it is supposed to.

Welcome to the IHoP
My little w makes piles all over the place, which then hides the state of the house. I have organized and moved all said piles to the dining room table. She is going to crap at how many there are and will hopefully finally understand why I comment about them all the time. At least 60 of them... To soften the blow I am doing all the laundry, dusting, vacuuming and general organization. I accidentally found my Christmas present though. Hadn't thought about that, but I knew what it was going to be anyways since we don't really give presents. I cheated and bought her stuff though

DD + AQ = Clean loudness?
Not sure. You haven't given enough information...and if so it is hidden in an abstract way in a non-linear thread. IMO you should start over, ask that question in a way that follows the thread posting guidelines. (listed in my sig)

Subwoofers in Doors
Not if he builds an enclosure. I'd really question your cousin. Adding 50lbs to your doors is going to require completely new custom hinges that are WAY stronger than stock. I had discussed that with him and he said he had it covered. So I guess I will see. I was planning on building a fiberglass in enclosure for the sub. Mounting the amp in the door too was just a idea, if there isnt enough room I will just put the sub in the door. Just putting the sub in the door without an enclosure will cause rattle central. If you meant you aren't putting the amps in and not enclosure (couldn't tell) then definitely go that route. It would be a mistake IMO to put the amps in the doors for many reasons. You HAVE to post pictures of your hinge setup.

DD + AQ = Clean loudness?
Kinda hard to say because I don't know what certain frequencies are in certain songs, but I think they should be able to play the mid to upper 40's with no problems. I determined the frequency the drop off happens by playing test tones. As far as clean and loud and the definitions of them....The clean part was more me asking if the AQ puts out clean power...people are always using the term "clean power" and I was just wanting to know if the AQ qualifies as an amp that puts out clean power. Loud....what's loud is very much subjective, I get it, I guess I was just wondering if the DD 2512's would fall under the "loud" category if pushed with the AQ2200 in a properly built enclosure. I'm not looking for a meter monster or nothing like that, I just want a daily driver that has a bangin' sub stage with a clean sounding front stage. My equipment prospects are my own choices, nobody led me to either of them...I have an AQ1200 that I am happy with, it didn't cost very much and pushed my subs nicely which is why I considered the AQ2200. As for the subs, I just wanted to go with something not many others out here have. Your problem lies in the fact that you currently have SQ subs in a box that isn't geared towards your music listening style. It may be what ID recommended, but that recommendation was either based on information you relayed to them wrong or done blindly. I personally wouldn't buy an AQ amp. Has nothing to do with being clean and even still it is your subs, I pretty much bet you couldn't hear "dirty" even if dirty were 10% THD in your subs. Amazing how crappy ears are in hearing low frequency info. If you want a budget amp continue on the path, but I would personally either spend more on the amp or buy used. I also haven't ever heard a DD setup that I would consider adequate. Nothing to do with loud as that is no problem, but coming from the ID's you are going to be disappointed in the frequency response as what you have now will be way more musical. IMO if your fronts are truly clean it'd be a shame to dirty the whole setup that way.

Sound Bar vs. Bose 3-2-1
I'd much rather just have two good towers I spent $1k on than any 5 channel compromise for the same money.

Four weeks ago I thought they were Super Bowl bound. Lately they appear more, well, mediocre. mediocre is putting it nicely, fuck me. I figured they'd pull this going in the playoffs not on the way in

Welcome to the IHoP
I do 90% of all cooking at my house. I'm trying to get Sean to learn. Maybe it will help him get his dick wet later in life. Maybe? More like abso-fucking-lutely. Its never gotten my dick wet, but has kept it wet before on more than on occasion. Always my choice for a second date and usually sealed the deal.

DD + AQ = Clean loudness?
What frequencies do you expect your sub to play? How did you determine the 44Hz? What is "clean" and "loudness" to you? I think this thread is derailed, but do agree that it sounds like you wanted confirmation of what you think you should buy without stating why you want to buy what you are looking to buy. If you come at this the other way around and list your goals and budget you will get more helpful replies. Personally I read your thread a few days ago, but didn't care to respond based on your first post...I only change my mind now at seeing how derailed the thread is and perhaps how you have been misled from the get go on your choices.

If you can make the door still work and have it fit, go for it. Curious to know what you are going to do to reinforce the hinges though.

What size fuse?
Only for any install when you don't know what you are doing. Did you guys not read this? Fuse the wire. Really it is that simple.
