Salt Lake City right now. You need to learn hop etiquette.

never tried a brine before. Don't you live in TX?? Shit, I read that backwards.

New crap vs used good stuff is a NO BRAINER.

Carbonated water ftw!

If Knights always tell the truth then A and B can't be Knights. Knaves never tell the truth though, So both of them can't be Knaves. If I just could figure out how to set-up the truth-function table lol. You missed the "never" from the original statement though and that made me think it's an easy answer. But it is still super easy

How so? they Zapco competition series are build more for power, it's like comparing a Fi BL to a Q. both are great but each is geared toward a different type of install. It was my understanding the OP was looking for a more simple install. Building a correct a dash for mids/highs pods can be very intensive. Especially when you can purchase pre-fab kick-panels and make minor improvements for great results in that vehicle. Kick-panels- when I first spoke with Scott when I was looking into Hybrid Audio, I chatted for with for awhile about best scenario for an SQ build, and speaker location, etc...Fort best imaging and overall results he recommended kick-panels. I know you are quite intelligent, and I will admit my two favorite SQ systems were one with a dash install, and the other was an on-axis pillar install. One point if you have to remember about dash installs, (unless on-axis) is that the windshields interferes heavily with tone quality. I don't believe one is a compromise of the other, it really is vehicle dependent. In OP's circumstance he seems to be looking for a more simple approach. so IN THIS CASE IMO a two-pay passive setup with mid-woofer in kicks and tweeters in pillars would be most simple and still have great results. If it easy to do so, then mounting tweeters in dash will work great too. Even on axis the windshield will influence the response a lot....but what do you think happens in the kicks? Pre-fab kicks are pretty useless. Crappy aiming, no structure, not sure why you'd recommend them. At the OP's budget range he can do better than buying some off the shelf stuff and slapping it in some Q logics.

YES! The real question then is what size. There are some budget 4"ers that IMO are better than the L4 as well, but if you aren't needing a 4 that is not worthwhile info to post here.

It isn't a big deal. Your opinion is more pointed than any comment I have made in this thread yet...but you exude a severe lack of background understanding in many of your posts which doesn't help your credibility. A little of your own kool-aid would be a good start and that can be done rather easily by buying a few different drivers and listening to them in as ideal of a condition as possible. Unfortunately, I have to say that I have back to back demo'd RW220 8" midbass speakers and L6 7.1" speakers and guess which one I have decided to stick with? Also, on a board (18mm Birch Ply) chamfered with the 12m vs L4s - yep I tried that one... Along with DLS Iridiums / Fostex 4" full range drivers etc etc. It wasn't very scientific but we did listen - various people using various drivers (which is why we had the various drivers). Unfortunately, all these people now use Hybrid L drivers why.... ??? Well, I use their drivers because I think they are the best drivers I can afford that I have heard and I have heard a few. Of course, my personal opinion only. And you obviously joined to troll considering the date so what is that opinion worth? Opposite result on the midrange review IMO. I also love the fact that you state "best you can afford" without the application. Pretty absurd. I thought I would come on here and find out about my new FI IB3 sub - sharing my knowledge and information might actually be worth something to someone who open mindedly listens to a number of drivers and without thinking about name droping etc decides to go with a certain driver. And, what has the date of which I joined this forum got anything to do with whether I have a valid opinion or not? And, the best I can afford is my personal application of using a set of speakers, as absurd as it sounds, to please me without breaking my personal finances - how's that? I would stick to giving either facts or your personal opinion rather than trying to belittle people actually posting their opinions. What if I liked Polk speakers am I a retard? How about JBL? or come to think of it SEAS? FYI - It doesn't take much for a keyboard warrior to gain a 15k post on any forum except maybe not having much else to do except spill garbage! IF you joined only to comment here then of course your opinion is influenced for that purpose. I apologize that I made the assumption that this was your goal, but to hop in a heated discussion in the middle of a thread as your 2nd post screams troll. If you are not, then I doubly apologize. If you are then nice comeback lol. As for the absurd comment, it is rather obvious. At that price point you better be spending a lot more on things other than drivers. Single drivers that cost that much aren't at a "price point" but instead fill an install niche.

Interesting, not sure why you are running your fogs when it isn't foggy. Measure your voltage at the fogs and at the battery and see if they are different when this dimming occurs.

Audiophile and Loud don't go hand in hand. Choose where you want the compromise. I do think a BL will give you more quality than you expect though.

"Like you should"? As compared to...

i have a volt meter and a friend who is an electrical engineer, ill look at it tomorrow thanks for the help Has anyone thought he might be running a highly underrated amp? No, not it. If it were a raw class A then perhaps, but I am sure he'd tell us if he spent that much on it. BTW cheap HID's can sometimes dim extremely easy. The BM'er in really working form should have no problems with what he has. Having it checked out by someone who specializes in electrical is a logical next step. DEFINITELY DO NOT buy a cap now.

Enough wine to make me sleepy

when do i hit level 15? lol

I KNOW he has one. LB also has one. LB is a retard and everything he says should be taken with a grain of salt. I am CURIOUS as to why PChop thinks a smaller box and lower tuning will help his lows, ie normally those two do not go hand in hand. As for helping them, it depends on what "lows" are to you guys. Most likely that sub will be happier tuned higher IMO not lower as it is a fart box sub. I could be off though as I have no experience with it and the only other person I know that has one is a dipshit.

And you don't visit me ?!?! Come to the black forest and consider yourself visited. ahhh, easy, I'll set sail and navigate up the Danube. Should be there quick ! I'll buy the beers

What's with the ellipses? Seems like an unfinished thought and I don't know which direction you were taking it.

I didn't know you had a WMD as well. I was referring to Lord Butkiss who knows about as much about car stereo gear as my turds, might even smell similar.

Two different thoughts. The NS is bulletproof. The only one I know with the same woofer is someone whose advice is super useless. So yes I know he doesn't have a Nightshade. It does amuse me that this was misread, everytime I see someone post NS in a thread title I get excited as I am a huge fan of the NS, but the NS that gets me excited is made by Aura.
