May 8, 200619 yr Author i preferred the CVX (pretty much same thing but round) and i really really don't like their 8" mids (rmb's or ss's) as i need something with a lot of prescence and output; they were a little dull for me.nonetheless, i love their amps (their multi-channels even more) and it should be a nice project.round defeats the prupose of physically fitting, plus, we just got the cvx's in, so i haven't had a chance to hear them. but i really enjoy the 06 L7's...dull mids huh? care to ellaborate on your install? i'm going for quite a bit of presence with these myself, hence them getting 400+wrms. dunno if i'm going to seal or port them yet, if airspace allows, probably ported somewhere's around 75-80hz.....maybe...lol....i hope it turns out as nice in reality as it is in my head....wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 8, 200619 yr isn't the sub channel mono and the midbass speakers should be run in stereo correct?
May 8, 200619 yr Yes...Not necessarily. Hmm. . . . Where was that big debate we had. . . Screw it. Personally, I wouldn't do it, but it CAN work in a few instances. Think frequency response in relation to localization.
May 8, 200619 yr Author ok, this was something scott and i was talking about...we figured it would work because of the location of the mids and their aiming. they are going in the doors, about even with the midrange, well, a little higher, and they will be aimed across the truck and up. do you think that will work?kicker doesn't make a 6 channel, so that's what i have to work with. i'm not running three amps either, because of where they are going.comeon, help me out. i'm probably starting this around wednesday.wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 8, 200619 yr Admin I am very curious about the CVX's, because I miss my classic round solo barics. They are one of the few subs I wish I had back.
May 8, 200619 yr Personally i would go with the zx850.4, run the midbasses off 2 channels and the SS comps off the other 2. run the 5.25's off the deck and you should be good to go.

May 15, 200619 yr Any updates / progress / thoughts Kent?I'm interested in this ... especially the enclosure, obviously.
May 15, 200619 yr Author no updates yet..still gotta find time. i will talk to scott tomorrow about getting the amps, the wiring and the subs. everything else is set....jsut gotta get to work basiclly. the wife is being a bit tight on the fundage as i just dropped $670 (i love ebay) on tires for both the scoot and the truck and a mild (leveling) lift for the truck. but it's still a go, just a bit on hold as you will...lol..wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 16, 200619 yr Author for the kityou will get pics. nothing amazing, just a leveling kit. between 1-3" for the front, that's all....lol. putting 285/75-16's on it..which means roughly 33-10.50-16..but hopefully this weekend!wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
