    3db?

    double your power, and or speaker size. play around with the tuning. tune higher to gain.
  2. Some of both, pioneers, clarions, kenwoods, Sony, and maybe even an Eclipse. I can fill a flat rate box for you with the stuff have. for like $15 shipped. send me a PM if you want to I can let you know exactly what I have tomorrow when I have a chance to look out there.
  3. I have a few laying around in the garage. Not sure what decks they go to but I could ship you one out for like $5 to $10 depending where you live at.

    Here is a few options I have been looking at: http://www.woofersetc.com/p5207/CLS60A--CDT-Audio-Classic-65"-2Way-Component-Speakers.htm http://www.woofersetc.com/p1090/CL61A--CDT-Audio-Classic-65"-2Way-Component-Speakers.htm http://www.woofersetc.com/p4927/RE65-COMP--RE-Audio-65"-2-Way-4-Ohm-RE-Series-Component-Set.htm http://www.woofersetc.com/p3377/S60--Boston-Acoustics-65"-2-Way-Component-System.htm http://www.woofersetc.com/p6766/DSG216--MB-Quart-65"-2-Way-Component-Speaker-System.htm Let me know which ones you guys think I should get. I can get a great deal on the RE ones from the dealer here in town. I am leaning towards them just want your input on what you guys think. The only reason I put the MB quarts in there is because I will be running these mids off of a MBQuart amp.

    speaker wire to comps?

    I run 12 gauge from amp to crossover and crossover to speakers. But 14 should be ok, I wouldn't use the factory stuff.

    I just put a limit of $300 I would like it if they were cheaper. I just don't think there is going to be a big gain going from $300 up to $1000 set. Maybe even an active setup, but I have never done an active setup before. I might try it with the wifes car to see how it turns out. Has anyone ran the Mach5 mid?

    Forget about the coaxial idea. Now I am deciding on a good set of comps. I am going to just get rid of the 4" dash speaker that she has. lets just get some options on here for what would get loud and clear for comps. I will be putting them in a baffel with soundeadner for the doors. I might even make a custom pannel for the door since there is not much room for a kick pannel. Let me know your opinions on comps that are in the $300 limit.

    2 18s 4th order project

    I knew you would get over 150, you should be able to get a 151 with ease.

    YOUR LOCAL CAR AUDIO SHOPS

    There is a shop in town that me and my friend go into just to see the new product lines in person. But, we never buy from them since it is main stream and over priced. They know this and right when we walk in they say oh come to check out the new stuff. If we do buy anything that is mainstream it is off of ebay or direct. They found this out when the other day we were in the store and the Kicker rep was there and started talking to us asking us how our install was going. The store was like WTF, and now acts like there to busy to demo out the new stuff for us, and makes remarks like just call the dealer and ask them to demo it for you. Our new goal is to have them sponser us. I am not sure how easy it is going to be since we only buy odds and ends from them, but I will let you guys know what comes out of it.
  12. If you never plan to upgrade you will be ok with the 4 gauge. But if you are a bass head like most of us you will be upgrading sometime soon.
  13. Just spend the money and do the BIG 3 with 1/0 and run 1/0 back to your amps as well. I know it was already said before but I figured I would say it again, that way you might listen to us.

    She has a Dodge Charger, and it has 6x9's in the door and 4" in the dash. So I figured I would replace them. I was looking at some CDT's, and maybe some morel, or even mach5's with a diamond tweeters that I have laying around. I was just looking at what is the down side to coaxials vs. comps? and what are some good brands of comps out there that are efficient as well as loud and clear.

    Ok, this is going in the wifes car and I will need something that gets loud and is clear, that is why I said coaxials. I figured for the price coaxials would get louder.

    Never heard of those before. But over all I am looking for a decent set to replace some 4" dash speakers, and 6x9 door speakers. All wiil be powered by an amplifier like the one in my signature. What is your thoughts on running set of 4" coaxial and set of 6" coaxial or 6x9 2 or 3 ways? Instead of running componet setup.

    Voice coil smell

    I had a BTL fully loaded and it had a smell that smell was the leads frying. I replaced them with some 8 gauge wire and never had a problem untill I decided to run 20K to it for a comp burned the coil and cone cracked. I was not to happy with the BTL's leads when I got mine. But, I had one of the first ones. I heard that problem is worked out now.
  18. Ok, so I decided to go with a Alpine 9887 with the time imprint. my next question is can this deck do a good job if I run my mids active? I have never tried to run an active setup before, and was hoping you guys could point me in a direction as to how it all works. I know you need to run each speaker on a seperate channel of an amp. So, I will have to buy another mid amp. Now would I just use RCA splitter on say the front right to get my mid and highs seperate? Now I also read that you have to run it in full range and control it all of of the deck EQ is that correct?

    Active setup

    I was told you can get better sound out of running an active setup. It that not true?
  20. Burbarry

    Active setup

    Rainbow 3 way front mids (6.5" woofer CS 160R, 4" mid CS W 100DIN, and 1" tweeter) Diamond D661 Rear Mids (6.5" mid and 1" tweeter)
  21. Burbarry

    Active setup

    From what I see I will have to have 2-4 channels now can I run the mid bass and mid woofer off of one channel since I have a 3 way set up front. I am wanting to use a splitter since I will have 8 rca ins needed and only 4 coming out of the deck. Also, I have rainbow tweets and Diamond tweets does that matter?

    What subs would be best?

    I have 2 12" sdc2.512's in my trunk on 1 US AMPS XT4000D putting out 1300 watts before rise. I do between a 146.1 and 146.6 on the TL mic. box is 4.3 cuft tuned to 33 HZ. I am going to be building a 4th order box soon and hope to get a 148+ out of it. With a bigger box and tuned higher you could get more out of these subs with that much power. But I would do the BIG 3, and put a big Battery up front and one in back for that amount of power. Now if you are running daily I would upgrade your alternator, other wise you will run into problems down the road.

    1ohm or 2ohm

    You double THD when you go to a lower ohm load. So if you can run it at a higher ohm load.
  24. Burbarry

    Chrysler 300 setup

    It is a ported box 4.3 Cuft tuned to 34 HZ.
