Welcome to the IHoP
I thought that was a given since he was running as a Democrat Party affiliation isn't what it used to be. The stereotypes for the two big parties don't always apply. But the Democrats knew what they were doing. Put in a black man and say he'll change everything from what Bush is doing. That's all he would have had to say. He'd get 15% of the vote just from that from all the ignorant people who knew nothing about either candidate but still had to make sure to vote, plus the 45% that the Democratic party would have gotten anyway. I think the "just go vote" mentality that all the national groups, celebrities, sports stars, etc. are telling people is misguiding. They need to change it to "Go learn about the candidates so that your vote is not in ignorance." Too many people these days vote solely on how charismatic a candidate is. Politics are about POLICIES, not smooth talking you at a cocktail party. That is one of the truest things I've ever read. Agreed.

And to re-iterate what I asked above, what did you like about them and what didn't you like?

Front stage help
Big jump to go from a 2 way to a 3 way. I'd start with a 2 way personally. Getting a tweet to play low enough will require either a large budget for a small tweeter or if you go large format there are a lot of options. Are you going to put them in the dash?

Welcome to the IHoP
Crazy shit happens up here everyday, I don't quite understand why either. 2nd highest per capita income state, one of the best educated states, perhaps the winters make people crazy.

Amp for HAT L61-2
You definitely need a 4 channel, one channel for each driver. Well 2 2chn's would be fine so I guess you don't "need" a four channel. You could use a little 2 chn for the tweets and then a big four channel for the midranges and the other two chn bridged for your sub. Probably the route I'd go, but it depends on what sub you choose.

Opinions on sub and amp
Have you tried sine tones to figure out what frequency it is that isn't being played well for you? Personally I blame your front stage as your sub already is playing to high for my tastes being tuned to 37hz, I normally roll mine off not much above that.

Welcome to the IHoP
Unfair though as you have a Japanese car and I drive a German one. Slightly different building mantra's.

Welcome to the IHoP
Most of my road noise right now is coming to my ears via my trunk. I didn't say wheel wells and the wall separating the trunk from the cab, just the trunk panels itself. You need a blocker here more than a mass loading dampening layer as I don't really think that structure induced noise is the issue.

Walling off blazer, ported or 4th bandpass?
If you are asking the question you probably should be building a ported, it will be louder than a 4th order anyways.

Welcome to the IHoP
I haven't really ever bothered to put deadening in the trunk. Obviously not referring to problem spots like the license plate bracket, tightening hinges and stuff but the actual panels.

Welcome to the IHoP
I am worried, I mean your state did elect Jesse the Body. Would be catching up to California in electing famous names And that year as a percentage we had more under 22 year old voters than any other. Crazy.

Fraud in Illinois?? Are you nuts?

FORD CHEVY OR GMC?
Relax and re-read your own statement then "better yet a truck". If this is just about your subjective view on what vehicles are reliable, your sampling size is too small for anyone to care.

FORD CHEVY OR GMC?
Where have you been? http://www.jdpower.com/autos/ratings/depen...ge-#page-anchor Mercury and Cadillac are rated ahead of Toyota & Acura and so on. The one thing the big three have always done has made reliable trucks, and ones that actually have torque so you can do something with them.

Upgrade with limited budget
And have it break in a year and one day. I'd run like hell from that crap.

LOUD is subjective and requires a budget. Be more clear.

Which Sub?
And what sort of gain do you expect going from 800w to 1500w?

How to Deaden Hatch
meh, you miss everything. Install is the most important part of anything and bypassing the deadening and noise reduction should be the first step, not the last. It is quintessential in particular if you are assuming SQ. The time depends on you. A real full weekend is usually enough if you stay on task.

1/2" and 37hz is no surprise it doesn't sound good What about not too bad isn't what you like? Again, what we think about it doesn't matter at all, what you think matters, the system is for you. If there is something about it you don't like we can help though.
