I fit in a bug easily, my dad drives one. He is 6'7" and 240. No real troubles. Big arse dash thats for sure.

All depends on the box. What amp do you have?

It only has two outputs...

Yes. Or if you want you could get a set of the pacpart xt19's for $13 a piece.

Lungs are getting better everyday. Still tough on them and not my body to run, but someday.... Garage is now clean too. Amazing how many friggin' tools it takes to cut out a square box.

Me too, so eff it I am going to go for a run and blow off some steam. Be back in a bit.

It should be spelled bm'er boy then it'd be funnier yet. Either an SI freak, a BMW freak, or someone with irritable bowels.

:thankyou:

If I had to choose a midrange right up front on a budget, I'd look at: http://www.madisound.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=45_241_282 Aurasound NS3 HiVi BS3 Fostex FF85k I have heard all three and enjoyed the Fostex the most and they were being run without a tweeter, which of course would be another option for you. A midbass and a 3 with a tweeter to be added later.

The reason I ask is that I'd use a different driver if going 3 way. Something like the Peerless SLS, but it is 4" deep; however, if you want to do a 2 way now and perhaps upgrade to 3 later I personally would look at either the L22RNX or CA22. The breakup on the L is just above 4k so you should be fine blending it with the Neo, the CA of course doesn't have that issue at all. Both would make good midbass drivers down the road as well. Note, the L22/4RNX has a breakup that is lower and I think will be more troubling. The Peerless of course is useless in a 2way. Any of the three will make me jealous.

Well it is put together now. I do realize that my painting of the flush mount looks less than stellar, but you won't see it when the driver is in. All I had was some really chitty brush and some testors model paint. Since this is just a very temporary solution I am not sure it will even see carpet or paint. It could be paint ready fast though. This is the first "normal" box that I have built in a few years. Amazing how much easier a cube like structure is compared to something unusual like what is in the truck. When I get home tonight, I get to give her a listen. Right now the paint is drying.

I'd run with a bigger cone for that. However, 4 on each side mounted into some towers on the other hand would be cool

It has pretty peppy performance and on the highway does good on milage. I am still pretty scared of any MB after the Chrysler debacle. Seen some real lemons in the past few years.

Have fun at work, personally I'd be wary of the Nitro.

Which closet you mean.

Actually just wimpy 3/4". I figured it is just for an 8.

Please update us on the details as they unfold!!

Thanks Ramos.

Not the only reason they suck. That prof to student interaction online isn't what I would find very helpful.

the b

It is lighter but 4x as expensive.

3 words for all 3 of those: Waste of money. If you want a BMW, get a 6 series. If you want a Porsche, get a Cayman S. If you want a VW get anything but the Touareg. 3 vehicles that should have never been made. If you must have a European SUV (and I don't know why you would) get a Range Rover or a UNIMOG. A better description of a waste of money would be to buy anything new. The initial depreciation hit on any car is by far the biggest waste of money you can have when buying a vehicle. Of course since the OP is looking for a 2000 it knocks those choices out of the list anyways. C'mon Bimmer-boy...you should know that there's a 2000 x5. The VW was released in '02, and the Cayenne in '03...hardly out of range for what the OP said...go reread, he didn't say ONLY 2000...he said somewhere in the 2000 year range, which these sit RIGHT into. Jeez sorry I missed the word range. I do realize the X5 was available in 99, but have never been that much of a fan of it anyways. Sport utes are not my thing.

It still doesn't list that it is a crossover for anything other than a sub. If you don't find a list of available crossover frequencies I would consider it a completely useless hunk of metal. I really, really doubt it does. I have never seen anyone say they were using one as a crossover and am rather keen on reading about active setups. That PPI piece that Scott linked you to is nice btw.

Umm I am not about to click on thirty links. Just list what you are looking at if you want anyone to reply.
