    Aiming Kick Pods

    Thanks, if Qlogic made something for my car I probably would have opted for that, or at least using them as a base, but I guess making my own will be better *crosses fingers*.

    Going Active, Maybe.

    Order it from sonic electronix, use "make an offer" and try $430 and they should come back with around 460.00 brand new.
  3. Okay I'm seriously considering going active for a few reasons: I want midbass with authority, hopefully better sq since I can tune everything, and I like to fiddle and adjust shit like crazy so this will give me something to work on and "perfect" so to speak. Tweeters and or mid range can fiberglassed to a-pillars or installed in dash. I'll likely try both. Midbass 6.5s will be in kick panels. I once heard a hybrid audio demo car and it has 4" mid ranges, 6.5" midbass, and 8" subwoofers, no tweeters, and it sounded awesome. Not saying that I'll be able to get away with not using a tweeter. Let's start from the bottom. Midbass I'm looking at: peerless sls 6.5s http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-6-7-woofers/peerless-830946-sls-6.5-woofer-4-ohm/ and exodus ex-anarchy http://www.diycable.com/main/product_info.php?products_id=538 Midrange I found some seas, SEAS Prestige MCA12RC (H1304) 4.5" http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-4-midrange/seas-prestige-mca12rc-h1304-4.5-coated-paper-midrange/ I like the price. And some Hybrid Audio Legatia L3, http://store.12velectronics.com/products/Legatia-L3-Speaker-Set.html I believe these are what I heard in the demo car where no tweeters were used. Tweeters Would I need tweeters if I was using the seas prestige? If so, I was thinking about the seas prestige 1" textile dome tweeter, http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/auto-tweeters/seas-prestige-27tffnc/g-h1396-1-textile-dome-tweeter/ I also happen to have four Aurasound NS3-193-8A 3" Extended Range, http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-3-fullrange/aurasound-ns3-193-8a-3-extended-range/ Could these be used for tweeter/midrange replacement? Or just pretend I don't have them. Amplifying and Sound Processing Going to look around for a decent 4 channel (already have a 2channel amp). example: tweeters (left and right)2 midrange (left and right)2 midbass (left and right)2 6channels or midrange (left and right)2 midbass (left and right)2 4channels For sound processing, I'm looking into the miniDSPs, specifically the Rev B 2x4, I would use one if I didn't end up using tweeters, or two for tweeters (and two extra channels would be left open, mine as well use them for the subs... ) Then I just have to figure out which software plugins I need to buy for crossing over everything. Any one have any input, thoughts, experience, anything to add?

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Anyone bank with Wells Fargo, ever notice posted transaction sometimes disappear then reappear a few days later?
  5. Can anyone guess what these are? ROFL, Yep there skars. Glad you could read, and...they don't have anything to do with my build.

    I appreciate the color change, and providing me with good laughter. And now I laugh even more for writing this, more clutter FTW.

    Haha bro, I even put it in RED for you Yeah in shitty dark red, I'm using the dark theme so I could barely see it.

    Jd377 97 Civic HB Build Log

    I only see Three boxes in the picture. Other one must still be in China. Just read the red text, me = failing at reading. Should be a crazy loud setup.
  9. Should be awesome, definitely something that I'll have to hear. I might go active soon too so it'll be nice to hear the Exodus in person. Good luck man. Thanks, We'll definitely meet up once I'm done and content, I still need to hear your car, changing it about as fast as I do LOL.
  10. I know people like pictures so...... Haven't decided if that will be the final mounting place for the display. MS8 and Eclipse amp will be mounted in this: May try smoothing it out and doing a piano finish later, or not. Started the bases for the kicks, Have to wait until all the drivers show up before I can progress.

    And of course, sex in the dining room, I should start a new build log.

    Aiming Kick Pods

    Not completed, but I'm starting to think about mounting it elsewhere (not a whole lot of room on the dash area for a clean look). I'll see what I can come up with tomorrow. Pretty impressive cuts eh!
  13. ssh

    Aiming Kick Pods

    I can do that. I got the ms8 today, ran the wires for the lcd display and mounted it on the lower dash for now. Exciting stuff ha.

    Aiming Kick Pods

    Two comments. - all rules of thumb fail - "try" was the right word, but also implies that it isn't the only position you listen to them before settling on one Personally for any listening position (either both seats or strictly driver seat) I almost always start with them aimed basically towards the back of the HU. The key word is "start", that isn't always exactly how they end up. But off axis usually ends up working out best for me in the end. When doing kicks you should end up spending hours trying out different aimings, different positions, different arrangements, etc. You might find in your vehicle a different aiming scheme works better. When testing for aiming positions, Does the driver need to be enclosed or can I simply hot glue some dowels to the baffle and mount the drivers (like a skeleton frame)?

    What purpose would you have for fully automatic? Burning a hole in your pocket? You wouldn't be able to hit anything.

    Glock 19 or 21/30

    We also have an xd with a 0.357 sig barrel, nice firearm. I'm not very informed about the Glocks, but on the xd and xdm just by looking at the pistol you can tell if there's a round in the chamber, and if the hammer is cocked. Oh and the safety works off the grip, so unless your actually holding it or applying force to the back of the grip, it will not fire.

    While your at it, check out Springfield Armory, I have the xdm, very comfortable grip, lightweight, accurate, holds 19rds (9mm in my case).

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I just found that pic on the interwebz, not my car. What's the blue shit on your hands? Not my hands, just found a pic of a baffle like what I made today. I quoted you to make my point clear And it's literally flying right over my head, I'm either severely out of it today, or plain dumb.
