1) Passive crossovers should not only be built for specific drivers, but in reality based on measurements made in the mounted locations 2) Your experience with Alpine wasn't the drivers, but the install. There is nothing wrong with passive installs and in many cases they can actually be preferred. My office probably has the best staging and FR you will hear in a non-dedicated listening room and I run everything non-sub passive. 3) You are seriously VERY, VERY far from being capable of running active. It will sound WAY FUCKING WORSE than your problematic Alpine. 4) ANY shop that just replaces one driver and ignores the rest of the components is full of fuckshows working there. Seriously idiotic. So why did you buy drivers? Either way, the only conclusions you are going to draw are going to be wrong just like ALL of the conclusions and statements you've made so far. STOP thinking you should run active. It is a TERRIBLE idea for you.

Just ordered a 1100w 12v power supply

May start out framed and ready to be a garage, but only a car port at first. err, trailer port. Depends of course on the permit stuff. Want to extend the roof back to give myself a covered area for my grill.

That part is easy. Not worried there, just trying to understand the $ ramifications.

Just makes you look like an idiot. Keep it up, at this point it just makes me laugh. Like always you won't accept help even when your way is jacked. Enjoy that attitude.

Found some online calculator that gave me around $3k without labor

Price estimate for an extra garage stall? Assume I can use one wall, plan to have it be "separate" from the other stalls, and that the roof can just be a single slope. Ignore concrete and ground prep.

Or me that big

I don't remember you being that small.

half, rofl

Thanks. Will you use them or the fabric ones in the summer?

I wasn't joking

It is a sign telling you to not use so many 6.5's

I wouldn't get the L, but the sport

Depends on if you keep the warranty or not.

LOL ... WhateverHere, you should read this and take note of when they should be used. It will help people not assume you are an idiot before even reading what you type. When it is a visual shitshow with all sorts of screwed up grammar it forces the reader to preconceive what to expect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ And would my foot be happy? That motor is EASILY doctored.

ROFL. I stopped competing well before you were born. If anyone is still working in that domain and still thinks that EVERYTHING that person tells you is most likely idiotic and wrong. True digital AND pot, rofl. What the hell is middle ground in a processor? By definition that should include 5-7 channels of DSP. Sure the 360 has 8, but calling a single channel overkill when you were thinking you could run a 3 way + sub is not overkill. Either way, you don't need a processor yet as you don't know what you are using it for. You seriously need to just buy a comp set and install them. You've confused yourself long enough. Get them in, listen, then start describing what you want to improve and asking for help. You equipment whoring is just going to force you to blow money on all sorts of wrong things. Even if you buy a $500 comp set and throw them away later (ie not sell) it will still be a more cost effective route than the one you are pursuing. Cost effective as described by utils, ie what you will get for your money. May cost more, but the results will more than make up for it. May just flat out cost way less too.

Seriously hit my contemplate list. No way I'd ever do something as small as a 5 anymore.

They drive fucking sweet too.

Best of luck finding a better job J. With your skills you should be solid. Thanks man. Sadly now skills aren't cutting it the way a degree does. So many businesses seem to hire these 22, 23 year olds with little to no experience who have a degree, versus the 29 year old with 10 years experience. I need to figure school back out. J Completely the opposite of my job hunting experience. Different job market though. Last person I hired was 56

Even if you use a shit ton of ellipses and question marks, lol

If I could get one of our customers to step up to the plate I'd have a full 3D CAD scanner, but it'll probably be a year.

<- has a 6" lathe that I've never used

We are about to do some measurements for them. Which plant?I think CA. It is only a $8k service so I don't really pay much attention. My role forces me to know about the big ones though
