Posted June 24, 201510 yr Just scooped a '98 Mountaineer this morning. Has the 5.0, it's AWD; feels good to be off the shoelace express Plans are a singer 240a, some royal excelene, a juicebox 20ah under the hood, Three SI mag v3 12's sealed (amp undecided), silver flute 8's in the doors, and hlcd's under the dash on a PPI 900.4. Doors first, but intend to fully dampen the cabin, mlv, ccf, cld, and foam. Want to sniff out an 80prs and snag a minidsp also. I'm so geeked. Edited June 24, 201510 yr by SpeakerBoy
June 25, 201510 yr like the list of equipment. I was actually going to do that same exact setup for my frontstage as well, speakers and amp. Why sealed on the substage? Edited June 25, 201510 yr by jay-cee
June 25, 201510 yr Author like the list of equipment. I was actually going to do that same exact setup for my frontstage as well, speakers and amp. Why sealed on the substage?I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to try my hand at an SQ build with a little beef on the low end . I'll probably return to the dark side eventually, but truthfully my older brother had three Memphis twelves sealed when I was back in highschool and it was one of my favorite sounding systems to date. It dropped low with authority, great on it all, and got plenty loud for a daily. With triple the power he had on subs, i'm sure it'll make me happy for quite some time. With the price of the mags, I'm sold really.
June 25, 201510 yr No reason for sealed to try sq, but your plans are a gazillion miles better than when you first joined
June 25, 201510 yr Author If I frequently have passengers, would a set of silver flutes in the rear doors be beneficial or can I focus on beefy front doors and still have it sound clean in the rear? I know my blazer doors were inaudible from the front lolI'd have my rears on a switch for when I'm riding alone.
June 25, 201510 yr Author WASTE of money EVEN if YOU sit in the backseatMusic to my... Err... Wallet =]
June 25, 201510 yr Author Plenty of space in your door for a ported pa mid. Will murder the skin flutesX'D Any recommendations for brands to seek out and audition? Never owned any pa style drivers before, unless my horns count.

I don't mind a 1-1.5 cube pod tops, I have the pocket in the door I can fab over. Edited June 26, 201510 yr by SpeakerBoy

The Icon is a great sub. It will sound great in the right box.
July 4, 201510 yr I love SSA, but the v3 Mag is my all time favorite sealed driver. I miss mine in a bad way!
