Hey Brother, I can see you are still working on designing your front stage. Its not that I advise against starting a new thread, BUT do recommend that you DON'T start a new thread with the same tittle and put a link to the other thread in the first post. Anyways I think you are fine continuing this thread. I personally have never played with horns, BUT If thats the route you are interested in I would try finding people with horns to give you advice. (maybe start a topic about horns?) I don't know what your conversation intailed with ID on the phone, but something you said must have gave them the idea you wouldn't be happy with anything less than the expensive horns? Once again IDK because I have never used horns and didn't hear the phone convesation. NOW that you are considering SQ are you open to a 3" full range driver with a monster midbass driver? This would really open up your choices on midbass drivers. Otherwise I recommend some auto tweeters from Madi Sound, They are in the budget, and will be the easiest to fit by far out of the three options I am considering for you. I think at this point the Techs on here want to see YOU make a choice on what YOU are going run for highs, and then they will probably help you dial in the rest. IDK just a guess brother, as I am in the same boat as you.

ugh, at the moument I am EPICly sick. Anyways here's the pics as promised. Me doing some bondo. the vinyl being installed. installed on the door. installed in the car. the above pic shows the spot I had to readjust in the vinyl. Its funny that in different light the pods match differently.the next pic probably show the color best. I had to pull the pod back off an adjust the vinyl some more. I had the wife help the second time with the vinyl and everything went alot smoother.

Gains on "NOM" (half) Crossed at 110 Pre-out 2.0V @ 600Ω http://www.kenwoodus...iver/KDC-MP345U Have you tryed listening with the type-r's crossed lower. I would suggest 80 or 63 if you can, see what you think.

If they still sounded good at 3/4 gain then run them there. The cleaner the signal, the better.

BTW I will make the angled rings to show you what I'm talkin' about, it will probably be a few days before I get to it though.

which drivers sound strained or distorted? the tweeters or the 6.5's?

I have one pod wrapped and mounted, but need to pull it off to do some final adjustments on the vinyl. The vinyl is a mutherfucker to wrap without having a seam. I wrapped the one pod by myself and it took 2 hours. I think the second one will go easier with my wife helping, 4 hands instead of two, we will see? The next option is to just paint them and say fuck the vinyl, we will see? I have pictures of the one installed I will post later.

At least I'm not the only one that asked mom for an amp for christmas.lol. She bought me an Alpine m2000 for x-mas. My mother has gone out of her way for me SO MANY times in my life, I am glad to have reached an age that I can show appreciation and give back some.

This Topic is to show off what you are getting your mother or wife for mothers day this year or maybe what you have gotten her in the past. For those people that need help deciding, maybe you can get some Idea's in here. I will start first, MY mother is VERY hard to shop for. SO I usualy try to build things for her. This year I am kinda cheating, but will still be building some of it. I got her three presents, the first one is an arrow head display. Here's how I built it, I got the arrow heads from my brother-in-law, who is Blackfoot Indian. His uncle hand knacked these just for my mother, this may be one of the biggest arrow/spear heads you will ever see. how they came..... kinda looks like a dildo,haha..... These are clear smoke colored and you can see the grain in them.... I bought the shadow box at Hobby Lobby and the crushed velvet there also. I might find a small LED light to mount inside the frame too. I found these two wall hangings for her also. I don't really care for southwestern decorations myself, BUT my mom loves them. I am buying the wife an Ipod Touch 32gb, nothing worth having a pic of. SO lets see what you guys got.
