Eh i don't believe all the crap about mids needing to be close to the tweets. some of the best sounding setups i've ever heard (in a car of course) has the tweet very far away from the mids. the cd5000 has the crossovers you need IIRC. the 9835 will too. I'm not sure about the sax100.4, but i'm not a big fan of amp crossovers anyway. It's just way more convenient to be able to tune your system from the seat you listen in. crossover points depend on many things. Type of vehicle, type of speakers, where they're mounted and whether they're enclosed or IB will all change your FR and where you need your crossover points. Then of course there's personal preference on top of all that. i'll go way out on a limb here and say USUALLY your mids will play down to 50-100hz and up to 1khz-3khz. Your sub plays down to 20-30hz and up to 50-100hz (where the mids take over). The tweet will play down to about 2x its Fs, i wouldn't go any lower than that, but that doesn't mean you have to go that low either. If a higher point sounds better, go with it. I have no experience with the MLI's but i'm betting they'll play up to 3-4khz relatively smooth and probably usable a bit above that as well.

just got finished prepping the fiero cradle. Now i have to wait for the cousin to get home so i can get the 3800 in the air and mark the motor mount spots. tomorrow i have to take the niece to the fair so i'm hoping to get most of the chit done today

i just know i'm going to scratch that bitch when installing it

is it wrong that i kinda don't even want to install the 9861 because of how nice it is?

bored

wow... god i don't know why but after reading that i really can't get "there is no spoon" out of my damn head. i truly hope zilch sounds like keanu reeves.

no tom...your post is way more wow than jim's. i even want to throw up a little after that

oh yea...and my doors will still rattle

eh i don't have the money for the 701 now, but piece by piece i will have it. Then my e-penis will be HUGE

ppics don't do it justice, top and bottom bands along with the knob are all black chrome.

damn i hate mom's digicam, autofocus is quite a bit off...but here ya go

egay, not even a scratch on it, everything still in it's plastic, i'm not sure it was ever used

first set of pics were all fuzzy, i didn't check the lense for the huge smudge. uploading second set now, we'll see if they're better here's the best from the first set

i hope i'm this pleased with it once i see it powered on

uploading now

i have never seen an alpine HU i thought was attractive, until i opened my 9861. Holy chit, my only problem with it is it's a bit too fancy for stratusfaction.

yep, just measure how big you want to take up, if you only want it to be 20in high, let us know. Once you get set dimensions turning out a box shouldn't be too hard

it's quite easy to build the box yourself. You start by giving us the largest dimensions you can fit in your jeep

880 = DIY or go home

And you complain about this girl being a bitch all the time, so you are going to help her why? ? ? i get to spend her money and do another install which is fun, plus i'm still pucking her. when things are good, i try to keep them good. but when they're bad i'm a dick

dude honestly i understand about 1/10 of what you say

BL 18

i don't know enough about the high wattage application to tell you for sure if one yellow top will be sufficient. if you want to get serious about it and want the loudest system a HO alt should be put on anyway. if you do two 18" BL's with something like two 1500's (sundown) i'm sure you will be plenty loud. That will be sucking a LOT of juice.

i'm def not a hifonics fan and i think the BTL deserves a better amp. I think the BL would be better for what you're looking for but that's just me. Get an amp that does ~1500W and it should be loud as hell. but if you plan on upgrading your power and running a serious setup then the BTL will definitely take more power. probably doesn't help you much, basically it's all about where you want to be. you could run the BL with stock alt and just a batt upgrade (maybe an extra batt too) but if you're going to run a BTL you're going to need that 2.5kw and new HO alt on top of the batteries
