Audiopipes sold and AQ2200's sold. Bump for new Sonido price.

That was a pair.

Sencheezy and I are the only 2 consistently running horns and winning. He's supposed to come back and do some battling soon since getting his doors finished. I'll make sure to keep it updated. Sadly the van in the first video is about the best sounding super tweeter setup I've heard besides Swifts truck. Then again Lee put so much adjustments to his it was ridiculous.

Video from before I threw the back setup in with just some motorola drivers in and usd bodies.

One from an earlier show.

Looks like around 160-180 ish

Currently have some of these in my Suburban and feel they get plenty loud although I always felt that the older style 97 suburban had a better on axis response from their factory tweeter location being as they are aimed at an angle towards the driver. I also have horns some ES pros and USD's to compare them to and there is absolutely no comparison between the 2. Horns just get stupid loud and sound good doing it. If you've thought of switching to horns already then stop hesitating.

Wow, this isn't sold yet? lol

I agree. Sorry to hear bout that. I'm not sure if the recones have been offered with this "FOAD" design? or whatever it's called, but after looking at it it seems like the bolts would require the original terminal holes to be drilled larger to make room for the bolts and nylon washers.

I wish I had a "good" answer for this myself. To take a stab at it with an assumption I'd guess it's because the average factory replacement would have been a single din for the past 40 years so that has been the design feature that has set the standard. I currently run the Kenwood DNX9990HD and would have recommended that. You don't have to let the limitation of running active from a head-unit confuse you with the ability to run active at all. Sound quality isn't an achievement from the headunit itself simply because you can put most quality headunits in "Bypass" mode and bypass any internal equalization anyways. I also have a Pioneer prs80 in my truck that replaced a Kenwood excelon kdc-x996 and would argue that without running active that the sound quality was much better with the Kenwood out of the box. The time alignment was great on the kenwood whereas the Pioneer just pissed me off starting out. Now that isn't to say that the Pioneer was bad by any means because after tweaking it for what felt like ages it did get to sounding better. I would look more in to the features that you want vs features you don't think you need. Are you completely partial to a double din. Why not a single din and equalizer to fill the void? Alpine has some great single din/equalizer's that I wouldn't have minded trying out.

Looks like they done a great job there. Especially since the requirements must have been snortin 2 lines and taking 8 shots of everclear before starting.

I personally use the most dynamic music that I can find. I wouldn't use test tones because then you'd only be adjusting for that individual frequency. Now if you used white noise with an rta meter that's slightly different, but that still wouldn't be doing it one speaker at a time and could still possibly lose potential of any 1 component due to not hearing it with your own ears. Pretty much anything Michael Jackson works since his music has a great dynamic range. Some great 80's and 90's music out there really so you aren't limited to music. Just make sure you're using music that uses real instruments and not some techno/electronica stuff that puts artificial noise in your head since you never know what it's supposed to sound like to begin with.

Can confirm as I had this exact issue with my USD mid's. Swore it was my horns and kept trying to eq them until i listened to them by themselves and found out I had my mids crossed a bit to high to the 2200 range on accident and backed them down a bit to the 1200 range and it completely eliminated it. I've know let my ears do the tuning for me and listen to each speaker separately now through each part of a song.

I can't say it was crossing over at 2.5k so I'd only assume it had to be the gain since the xs28's can get down to 900hz on a steep slope. I own 4 of them myself and enjoy the hell out of them with my cxs64 set. Some of the best speakers I have had the pleasure of owning sound wise. Use those ears man, they won't steer you wrong when you hear shrieking and popping it's probably bad, but when you hit a threshold of not getting any louder and you have play in the gain knob doesn't mean you leave it there either. Always back it don't just a hair and make sure it still sounds good while doing it and you'll always have a winner. The only thing I've ever set with equipment was bass amps to a specific frequency that I burp at. Even then for music it was crap, but when you compete you can't expect to win without pushing things to the limit sometimes.

Wow, the way this thread went i believe someone lubed up and stuck their weiner in a toroid. lol I've had a couple larger sized amps so I know the initial feeling to.

Maybe he's working with Brent at their new "high output" shop? Oh wait, at least the guy you're talking about put out quality stuff to begin with. lol

Recently watched a 3 minute beating your system took in what looked like midwest SPL where something went up in smoke. Much respect for holding those scores for so long. Very impressive setup. I couldn't possibly go full throttle like that for so long.

Yah there's a bass mode as well. It even lets you choose between different head stocks and number of strings. I did notice that it doesn't take in to account with the number of frets on higher fret songs. So once you pick a song with eye watering high notes you are kinda just jamin out the best you can on an invisible fret.

Interestingly I got this game for my wife along with a fender squire strat. It has mostly collected dust sitting in a corner, but I hope to have an htpc up soon and I'll likely take it over soon.

Is that car still put together anymore?

I don't think he even wanted to hint about it. At least I wouldn't.

I can't wait until we get this together. I've worked more in the past week on this truck than I have on mine in the past 6 months lol. I was skeptical about the fabric on the false floor at first, but man does it looks silky smooth. I told sencheezy we should redo the entire truck in this stuff and start calling him "Silky smooth" lmfao

Seeing that pic is what made me try USD's. Well, that and i had already heard ID ultra's and just wanted to hear another brand lol

Kinda cool, I've heard great things about the value of the HDS3's as far as being one of best bang/buck 3" coils out for the money. Under $150 for a sub that takes over 1000 rms is a killer deal. I am still running 2 of the older AQ2200's at .5 ohm each and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them any time. Good pick up.

I never disagreed. You've have literally used it more than I have in the past 6 months to which I offered to sell it to you instead. For someone that can afford tons of other audio equipment you seem to take it personally with the pay to play saying we have come to acknowledge.
