  1. They will mate with a ton of tweeters. I would avoid ones from a component set as they are all lackluster. Instead figure out the largest thing you can fit and a budget and we can help you pick some. I know the SSA ones are coming if you wait, but there are literally tons of options if you can't.
  2. For a teeny fraction of the money, the SSA drivers smoke their expensive JL counterparts. There are a shit ton of amps that do everything the JL ones do for WAY, WAY less money. I am glad for them they can charge what they do, but that doesn't mean I will do business with them. The box in my truck is literally to fill in the bottom audible octave. 20-40Hz. My 7" mids can't quite play reference level upright bass that low so I've been waiting 2 years for a steal on a box on ebay. The box fits the amount of space I have perfect, but the craftsmanship is super shoddy and the result lackluster. Paired with the little NVX I won't complain about spending $300 for the combo though as it fills in what I needed. You should stop inferring that what I have in one car is my experience with a brand. That is a joke. I have more shit in my basement than most people on audio forums go through in a lifetime. All I have left is what I don't want to sell. Not so amusingly some of it I will never use either.
  3. High end does not equate to expensive. High end has value. This is just expensive. It doesn't have a w6 and I wouldn't put a pair in it either (even if they fit) unless of course someone sold them to me for $100 ea. The w7 I would never run again. At MSRP these things are retarded.
  4. I have a 5 and 7 year old. Need the back seat.
  5. I have a w6... You again don't read what I type. I didn't say that JL sucks, but that for the money it is absurd.
  6. Unobtrusive bass
  7. Easy to mount too. A couple zip ties and small holes in the carpet, lol.
  8. If the amps are truly only 1ohm stable then it is guaranteed to fail. Either way, running 0.5 ohm in a daily driver is a bit absurd.
  9. And did I already say they were small?
  10. Are you saying they are coming out of the closet? If I weren't 6'7" I'd have a GT sitting in my garage as well.
  11. Had no time to do any listening or to play with eq, t/a, phase, etc. Hell had pretty much no time to listen to it. Will level set it appropriately tomorrow and dial it in. Then do some listening and can post up some thoughts.
  12. The little NVX is impressive though. Full gain and no noise. ....so yeah, that is where i left it. Think perhaps it is because it expects a stronger signal than I have Although from an Engineering perspective making it so that the gain can't be turned up so far there is thermal noise is a quality, not a concern. At full womp my front stage buries the sub, but it provides exactly what I need anywhere else. The bottom octave is no longer a sad point in the install and it blends seamlessly so it is just what the big ugly needed.
  13. I paid 25% of MSRP otherwise I wouldn't own it. Form factor was the exclusive reason.
  14. The JL quality is completely underwhelming
  15. Steathbox and mini nvx are installed.
  16. New contend3r for the title of better sound through marketing
  17. I was specifically toldbforbthe name and infrastructure not products lol
  18. Apple owns beats...
  19. de de de, don't they realize they are losing monstrous market share already? The fanboys that stay on the band wagon seriously aren't much for thinking...
  20. Or you could get a new Iphone. They've always been great with music. So much so now they cut out the headphone jack. Sweet. fuckin' idiots
  21. First thing I might do is try another browser. This version of the forum works better on Firefox for me. Nice boots btw!
  22. Just checked your gallery, it works fine. Added an image to it for you. Perhaps you needed to create an album first?
  23. Images added to a gallery album owned by ///M5 in Automotive Related
  24. The last picture was NOT on my phone. 1.4 Fstop ftmfw. Kitchen was a fucking mess...but you can hardly tell
