You didn't ask but, when going out pedaling something that can really help you recover FAST is drinking something like "Endurox R4". I used to mountain bike for several hours at a time, and it made a HUGE difference in recovery time by getting in the nutrients right after a long cycle session. I was pretty prone to cramping though, so YMMV. For me and the guys I pedaled with it was night and day. I like a 2:1 sugar:protein a bit more, but what ever works. Most bikers love endurox. I used to buy powdered bulk aminos, powder cross filter, ionized mega broken down whey and dextrose and mix my own drink for pedaling. Always added in vitamin C and then a banana later. After a while I got really lazy though and would mix OJ and yogurt. Ot a banana and protein powder + water. Anyway to get sugar, vitamin C and potasium, and simple sugar ASAP. I think the home brew worked the best but it would always make me insanely hungry(I desired that effect at the time though). With the other 2 options I felt I got the same results, but the smoothy made me have less appetite. Vitamin C, potasium, and sugar is the real key. The protein was really good too but not as important. All good info, What do you eat/drink before cycling? I was younger and extremely active..... Probably a tripple whopper with cheese large shake and onion rings. I was also Mtn Biking and we thought it was a fun game to see who could eat the most and not puke while slamming around jumps and river bottoms. Road biking is much more freindly to the guts than hopping dirt. Now? I would probably keep it pretty light. CHicken breast and rice with extra rice? Or chicken and pasta. Unless you're pedaling only for the sake of loosing weight slow burning carbs and water are your friend. When wrestling, pedaling, working a heavy bag, or lifting the best think you can do is stay hydrated. Usually for anyone who is regularly sweating hard and eating pretty healthy you also need electrolytes, so I would mix gatoraide or OJ in a 4-1 mix with water when I felt like I was really depleated.

So like having a passenger in the back. I agree with mr problem is with your suspension. That said port a couple of 8's.

what kind of car do you have but id think get a custom box made for the kickers imo kicker is better then hifonics 10's any day not to sure of the orions tho but you could just use one of the kickers in the trunk and sell the other one to help pay for the box

You should deaden first, adjust your aiming, connect them active and then describe what you don't like so we can give specific recommendations. Less harsh than Focal is easy, I can hardly think of a tweeter that is more harsh More midbass is also easy. Deaden first, then cone area if possible. Again understanding your real limitations will help narrow this down.

Yes. I used a barrier strip and jumper from Radio Shack to splice the REM to my four amplifiers. One wire from relay to barrier strip, then 4 wires from barrier strip to the amplifiers. 4-Position Dual-Row Barrier Strips - RadioShack.com 8-Position Jumper - RadioShack.com

Okay, well it's not a direct comparison on any of the drivers. So it isn't 100% fair. The Dcon is in an optimal sealed enclosure while the Icon was in an optimal ported. Icon was in the home theater, and Dcon in a vehicle. I just appreciate the overall sound of the Dcon set up. Don't get me wrong, the Icon is a PHENOMENAL driver, but at the price, you can NOT beat the Dcon.

I've been neglecting my truck, as it's nice enough to get my bike out. Umm..I'm not happy with the current set up, as far as space and fitment goes. I'm going to be rebuilding in a few weeks. Goal is to build a center console that incorporates my Dcon. On a positive note, the Dcon is the best subwoofer I've ever heard. Other subs I've listened to: Various mainstreamers, Icon, SI Mag, Dayton HF, Paradigm PW2200, Fi Q.

Just ordered my Dcon

I CAN'T wait to hear what you think of the Eclipse HU? I will probably try one in my next build. I won't be missing a thing in your build as I spend most of my time on SSA in the build logs. I LOVE SSA!!!
