  1. is there a remote gain connected? if so disconnect...... All the RCA's are attached tightly? Checked power and ground is tight? made sure the speaker wire is tight? Have a y-spltter cable like this? Hook it up to your phone or MP3 player directly to the amp input and see if you sound ... make sure the volume is low though and maybe play test tones

    Happy Birthday bro
  3. it was cool.... find new sources... I been doing newsgroups... but I have too keep all sources since sometimes I like to get it right when it comes out without searching alot
  4. welcome sir!!! 10" is enough.... but 12" is more fun for some people.... Either way, like has been said, go with what fits... What are the max dimensions you want to stick to???
  5. vids now, or I use my tactics and get your address and shit in your bed!!!
  6. awesome sexy.... I'd like to be a first!!!!
  7. This thread was started like 5 years ago...Jacob just posted up a yard sale thread with plenty of stuff in there. B-stock you generally just have to email them once in a while and check in and see what they have. Jacob is too busy to bother with posting up b-stock listings and keeping them updated He actually does come back and update that post though ... FYI... He has done so a few times.... But it has been a few months since the last update on here..
  8. dayum.... WTF! Life has never turned that good for me.... EVER... I hate you... you should die now.... Also, equipment looks amazing and keep the pics coming and good luck on the build man!
  9. that looks tight man!! Wish I had the skills that you do.... good stuff!!
  10. Good to know. Hopefully won't suffer too much in the wallet
  11. Okay .then I shall return to this thread afterwards. Thanks for the words everybody. This will help greatly. :-)
  12. No mids yet. Currently using my 6x9 cuz it's all I have. I was gonna throw in the mids from my edesign set just for the time being. In my humble opinion I think you should focus 100% of your attention on the mids right now. Tweeters are easy to pick out and implement, mids selection is another story. If you are running a two-way mids will become more of a compromise. You can either have good midbass extension or good high end extension. Really really hard to get both. Midbass can be mostly handled with your subwoofer setup if needed. Then you could run a 4" mid that can easily play to 4k then you could buy a smaller tweeter. Or buy a bigger mid that can play the midbass range but then you will need a larger tweeter to effectively play down to 2-3Khz. *Generally* Small format tweets mostly need crossed no lower than 4khz with a 3rd-4th order slope. Large format tweeters can be crossed much lower with a 1-2nd order slope. Mounting maybe become an issue with large format tweeters. Thanks As far as mids go, I'd be happy with something that could effectively down to 100Hz. I don't think that is too much to ask if a mid. But that means a tweeter that can play lower. The mids I've looked at were 6-7"and graphs showed them to play down to the 70s. Which i wouldn't be doing.
  13. I am in the process of getting my front stage done. Lol Hence why I started this thread. I don't want to go passive anymore. Want to "build" my front stage. Your opinion has been noted though.

  15. Maybe I should ask more straight forward.... In your opinion, for what I've stated as my goals, what should I look into? Is there anything you think fits my needs better? And could you tell what driver(s) I should look at?
  16. As far as running lower than I'm currently able to. The off axis response and powering requirements aren't very much. That looks good for my purpose or my goals. My only real attack is install. Unless I'm told otherwise,I could be wrong about how the vifa will sound. But it hasn't been said whether that can possibly be a good driver for me or eluded to other possibilities.
  17. welcome sir!!!
  18. I'm still gonna have to work on install. But I know now, after owning them that they don't do well under 4-5k. That's why I'm looking to replace them although they sound ok crossed that low at lower/moderate volume. I don't think install will correct it much, but worth some experience. So, is there anything I should look at that may give me better sound or anything that plays lower than the lpg will suit my needs better? I don't what to look at as a start but the vifa tweeters looked great on paper.
  19. Right now up on the dash. The passenger side it's aimed at me directly. The driver side is aimed slightly off axis and more towards the passenger side. I'm using this mount right now. http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/speaker-mounts/lpg-wedge-mount-hinged/ They do screech, with certain singers.
  20. Yes. It is. As I got this tweeter under the assumption of my research where users were able to cross down to 2.5k. It's there now and I'll keep playing with the EQ. I'm going to build some temporary pods so I can aim the tweeters and see if that changes much.
  21. 5k, weird. What slope? Although even with something pretty shallow I'm still surprised. 24db as I didn't want it to play lower than 5k at all. :-
