Exactly, well at least you wouldn't be able to hear it for long.

Pretty much the same, but they are definitely still available. http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...roducts_id=1179 What are you preferences besides the soft dome? We can help you narrow down the mid selection as well.

I agree with John. Either reduce your budget and get the MAW's which are outstanding for the price or double your budget and get something like the Icon's. If your budget has to stay in between a single 12 or 15 is a better solution.

Perhaps I should chug a couple beers, but now it is 5 so I could just stay up?

Crazy since I am on WC time as well. Not sure what happened. Woke up at 8am in CA, flew home slept a couple hours on the plane. Was exhausted and went to bed at 10 here (8pm CA???) woke up at 2am and really haven't been able to sleep since. I tried, but it didn't work. Thought sex would help, but even that didn't make me tired. WTF?

<-- obviously can't sleep.

Already?

Stupid though as it has nothing to do with sound quality at all. You are just forcing a definition on something to make yourself feel better, but in reality it is about as off base as it can be as it isn't even close. It would be similar to me saying my car is SPLextream but I don't have any subs. Effin' dumb.

In that price range there aren't very many good options, if I only had $250 I'd buy a single 12 or 15 instead.

God what would you like about them. *pukes The tweeters rip your head off and there is absolutely 0 midbass. Personally I actually like Kicker products but those components are a complete joke. As for your recommendations: I love the tweeter Scott recommended, but if you like the presence of a metal tweeter there are other ones that you will prefer. Here is a list of ones I would look at that will completely embarass your current setup and fit in your budget. Seas L18, CA18, W18NX Scan Speak 7" Revelator Dayton RS180 Peerless 7" Exclusive Usher 8945P Peerless HDS Tweeter Seas 27t___ -- metal or textile versions Dayton RS28 Usher 9950 Morel MDT 30 LPG 25nfa Vifa XT19 Being you have a truck I only picked drivers that will work pretty well off axis in the stock locations. Depending on your listening preferences it will be pretty easy to narrow the list down.

Peerless SLS 8 is an outstanding midbass driver for IB applications.

im a DieHard SPL Freek... but i do like to hear the words and the rest of the music... so you could consider me an SQXtream kind of guy... Fart cannons and SQ have NO commonalities. SQXtream is a stupid description of what you like. You only want SPL and a front stage that plays loudly enough to hear words which has absolutely nothing to do with SQ. If your bass is exaggerated at all it isn't SQ and there aren't really compromises on the word, either you want it to blend or you don't. In your case you just want SPL from the subs and the front stage and nothing more.

It is a nice driver and is darn happy in Mike's recommended boxes. What else are you looking for?

1" mdf...you still need bracing and for your goals I'd still be doubling the baffle though.

Jeez, I didn't know Camaro owners were such losers.

Where have you been looking? Unless you have really, really long interconnects and sources that have low preout voltages, you can use a "passive" volume control to save some money on the preamp end of things. Ebay and audiogon mostly. My source will be my laptop from the headphone jack for a while so I'd like to have the pre-amp Or a passive and a good sound card which would be better IMO.

we need video proof. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Then I'd have to kill you though i'm willing to take that risk. lol any chance of seeing this in person come june? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Hopefully. As soon as I get an order from him I am going to bug them for samples. Otherwise if you come to SoCal it is real easy as I have a stadning offer to come to his house.

I didn't either, but of course everywhere I travel I get free booze or at least I only temporarily have to pay for stuff. Getting reimbursed is teh nice.

I remember one of my friends visited the us and told me she puked on the plane because of the food It is usually pretty decent in first class though.

Time to board, see you all tomorrow.

oh right in the "for sale" thread. did you get the proc with it?

at the airport at least I get to fly first class, hopefully something will be worth eating as I don't really feel like drinking even with the free booze.

To a music cd or data cd? Music you need to convert it, data you rip it like you would any data file just drag and drop.

I have to go and pick them up from the farm, I have my bro-in-laws 93 & 95 at the house but am spoiled now with the newer suspension so I want mine. Probably pick them up Tuesday.
