I'd look around for a junker to see if you could steal the doors off of em and play around with fiberglassing a larger midbass into the door

The entire door? I don't have the room, nor the $$$ to buy a pair of doors. LOL

Plus I'd still have to cut my stock doors to do it, so it doesn't really aid my quest. Of course I could disconnect the og doors, and put the junker ones on before I sell it, and get them painted to match the rest of the car! All for a slightly larger speaker, I don't think so. :suicide-santa:

oh sorry I meant door panels

whoops,

whoops,

Not enough space to work off the door panels outward into the cabin (depth wise). Not to mention it's a door panel, not very secure, a flimsy baffle isn't going to sound good.

I guess you can get away with it for smaller light drivers.

Although I'm for legalizing cannabis, I don't agree with how that's addressing the issue. Sure there are benefits, but to flat make it sound like some miracle drug is asinine.

Smoking marijuana is terrible way to absorb THC.. there are many more efficient ways that are better for you too.

Salad is good for you, and sports cars are fast. What's your point?

Agreed. The issue isn't that they are completely harmless; the issue is that cannabis, psilocybin, mescaline/peyote, LSD, DMT, MDMA and a host full of other drugs I can't recall at this point have been proven in multiple experiments and clinical trials to be no more addictive or harmful to your body than alcohol or tobacco.

Legalization based on that logic alone is fairly sound, in my opinion. If that isn't enough, there's alleviating the overburdened legal and penal systems, and the tax revenue from regulation. Oh and you know those Mexican cartels? The profits from selling marijuana across the border is the reason they're able to also have cocaine, heroine, methamphetamine, human trafficking, and gun running businesses.

But no, we have to be moral and unrighteous and SAY NO TO DRUGS!

What a crock of shit.

*says Penguin4x4 as he ingests some Vicodin*

crystal meth, cocaine/crack and opioids are a completely different issue altogether and I would not feel bad in the least about keeping them regulated under the CSA.

little dings vs. paint flaking off is quite different, sorry to hear either way.

I could literally take my fingernail and drag it and it would just come off.

I had started to strip the paint then stopped

Bummer, big time.

Havnt seen that happen before.

The new black baskets are all like this, I believe.

Or at least the last batch, my icon included.

It doesn't bother me unless I had the driver out and was showing it to someone interested in an ssa product, I could talk about how great the product is, and they could look and say "ha, the paints chipping."

All 3 Zcons we picked up have the same issue, it doesn't bother me a bit though.

Don't stop dreaming, otherwise sleep will get awfully boring!

How the fuck does this happen. Everytime I go to shop for something that is reasonable I find what I really need and its way more fucking cash. Ie, $100 luggage turns into $400 once you play with the fucking bags. Damnit, I don't want to spend that but now the cheap one looks and feels like a piece of shit. Add to it that it doesn't have a layout that works at all for me and fuck :(

You either shop exclusively for high end or for low end, but never both simultaneously. Learned that lesson a long time ago.

When it is something I will seriously use I try to find the best item for my needs and then figure out the compromises I can live with. The divergence between crap and quality is sick however.

Sounds like travel bags are a niche market for absolutely raping people in terms of $$$.

Maybe you could sell your steering wheel, use one from checkers/autozone, improve steering, and help offset the luggage cost? :P

Unconditional lifetime warranty on the Briggs says something. I destroy Samsonite stuff in ~2 years and it ain't cheap. Target shit lasts less than a year.

I got my exodus' in the doors:

leftside.JPG

Still need to make a trim piece to cover the hacked up part of the door and speaker, and order deadener for the doors. Then I'll be able to tell if they work out in the doors (IB) or not.

I'm still going to try a midrange driver in lieu of the tweeter, mounted on the dash, and see if I like that more then the hds tweets.

If you can't get them ON axis it is really NOT a good idea.

I can, as long as the OD is under 3.5". Now if I decided to go with a bigger midrange (~4"), then see below.

The stage height improved immensely when I placed the tweeters up on the dash, I'm curious if the tweets were aimed differently in the kicks if that could achieve similar results. Though I thought even if they were a bit off in the kicks, the stage height wouldn't have affected.

Otherwise I could always put a midrange + tweeter in the kicks, that won't take up much room, and I could use the on-board amp on the ms8 for the tweets. :trippy:

So it's cheaper in the long run, just seems an absurd price for what it is.

Tweets aimed to the back of the HU? I saw Brad do that.

Yeah he told me that was a good starting point, but I used a single baffle for both drivers, so it ended up being on-axis actually. (with my leg somewhat in the way)

Definitely different aiming in your kicks can do the same.

4" is rather big for in car, but I LOVE my TB's. Getting them on axis and potentially in an enclosure is a much higher priority.

Exactly why I am wondering if I should do it or not. Ugh.

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed luggage was so expensive.
