<-- obviously on West Coast time...

Top o' the mornin' to ya!

slow in hurr

Just fine. I am thoroughly impressed with the HDS. As for the crossover points, it will really depend on mounting locations, integration, your desires/ears and so on. Personally I would start with the L18 playing up to around 1kHz and the HDS from 1.6kHz up. From there keep moving them closer together until it sounds good to you. You also have to compare all sorts of different slopes and phase responses between the drivers. A few generic rules: Underlapping is usually better than using the same crossover point or overlapping The higher in freq the L plays the higher the slope you will need I have never heard an active setup where I didn't feel that changing the phase on at least one driver wasn't beneficial If your tweeter/mid aren't very close together and have fairly normal PLD's you will need to play with your time alignment. Don't be afraid to listen to a single driver at a time when choosing your crossover points & slope

Every demo I have heard of it bothered me and I still consider it a joke. A complete bandaid where using a proper alignment and installation technique will yield much better results.

Going to have a hell of a time finding a little 6.5 to "keep up" midbass wise with a pair of those. Actually unless you do what Jim recommends you flat out won't.

I'd like to see her fall.

at least that type of woman always puts out easily

Off for a day of meetings> Woo, woo. *

Some mornings I really hate ties.

Morning Ramos, have a day Kent.

The real question is why look at Quantum instead of something else?

Your effin' kidding me right?

Morning

If you do a pair D1's will allow you to wire to 1ohm total in a parallel-series configuration. You are going to love the Sundown/FiQ combo!!

Mag party. Where?

goodnight

Holy hell this week hurt my team: Larry Johnson -- foot injury out indefinitely Chad Johnson -- head injury, questoinable at best Steve Smith -- no QB means he sucks Andre Johnson -- still on IR Frank Gore -- sandy vagina so he can't play WTF???

Jeez, thanks for making me feel old.

LOL, for around 20sqin of port you would need a port near 170" long.

holy rice

I like your Polks better than those Alpines.

While you can go with a smaller diameter, it really won't solve the problem I described. For instance, my Rli8 in .64cuft (which would have a shorter port for the same tuning frequency than in a .45cuft box) is nearly 3.5cuft on the outside of the box to house the port. Porting a small enclosure is not a beginner maneuver in the world of audio.
