Well i have recently sold off everything out of my daily driver to fund a new build in a different car. I also am working on a budget install in my daily driver to replace everything that has been removed and sold off. Im looking for a pair of clean sounding 6.5" componets w/ some nice out put for under 200 bucks shipped. Power will be coming from a 100.2 passive until the 50.4 comes out then they will be active. Thanks Corey

Actualy thats realy what i wanted to run but they have been out of stock for some time and i havnt been able to find them anywere else. Guess i should give them a call and see if they have an eta on them. Thanks Corey

Cant wait to order my power master batteries and alts. Got any future plans and changes for the truck? Corey

Nice glade to see some pics up of the truck finaly jacob. Looks good. Corey

Cool, im going to have to ordered one of these for my new build. Thanks Jacob! Corey

The opti amps are nice for the money. The opti4000d shares the same boared as few other amps, suchs as Soundstream xxx6500 and Ground Zero GZPA 1.6000D. My friend is currently running a opti2000d @ .5 ohms daily to a pair of cvx 10's and its holding up nicly. Does rated power also.

Were is the best place to purchase accordian boot or seal? Havnt had no luck localy so im seeing if anyone knows of a good place to purchase it online. I found a bunch of sites thro a searchs on yahoo, but not sure if there good places to deal with or ligit for that matter. Corey

Rich, now your getting me excited to get my install done. Cant wait to get mine done, guess i need to plan a trip down to nc so you can help me build the wall. Corey

Well few of you know the tranny went in the buick that i planned on walling off w/ a pair of 3518's. Well i deside to start looking for a 88-98 silverado or siera to do a cut thro on. Well yesterday i ordered my second set of Digital Designs 3518's. The new system plans go as followed. Head Unit : Panasonic CQ-VD7003U w/ Panasonic CA-DC300U Ipod Adapter and 2GB Ipod Nano Sound Processors : Audio Control Three.1 Subwoofer : Digital Designs 3518's x4 Subwoofer Amplifier : Sundown Audio SAZ-1500D x4 (each pair strapped @ 1) Subwoofer Enclosure : 28ft^3 @ 35hz Wall Mids : Seas CD18RE-MDS H1426-04 x12 Highs : DLS Iridium x4 Mids and Highs Amplifier : Sundown Audio SAX-100.4 x2 Front Battery : Optima Red Top D34/78 Rear Battery : Kinetik HC2400 x4 Alternator : Excessive Amperage 300A x2 Wire and Accessories: Kicker Comments and Concerns Welcome Thanks Corey

Jim, Very true... forgot all about horns! He could run the SD-1 10s for midbass to 100 Hz and run the PHL 8" up to meet the horns. I have a pair of ID CD1E Mini Body's, how do you think they would work? Very well... those things are mean and would be able to keep up with those PHL midranges. That would be an awesome match... talk about a loud front stage Cool How does a the sd-1 10's wired down to 4 ohms per channel on a 100.2 and the phl mids and id horns running off an 100.4? This should be a fun build.Corey Corey, My vote goes to MORE POWER... three 100.4s bridged I like your thinking sir Im sure we can do that. Well looks like i got everything lined up now. Ill make sure i start a work log here shortly Corey

I have a pair of ID CD1E Mini Body's, how do you think they would work? It's gonna be hard to beat what you allready have . THose arre some very nice and freakin hellishly efficient horns . Do you have the underdash room for them ? Yes i got room to mount them under the dash, there is good amount of space there that would be perfect for them. Corey

Elemental Designs is a dealer for DLS if it comes down to it. Or you could try to find them used... DIYMA is a good place to look. I have a pair, but I could never sell them I made a wtb on ca, i should do the same on biyma also. ED dont have them listed in there store but im sure they could get them. Corey

Jacob, do you know were i can get the DLS tweeters? IIRC there is a dls dealer on ca.com but i dont remember the sn. Corey

revised system as followed Head Unit : Panasonic CQ-VD7003U w/ Panasonic CA-DC300U Ipod Adapter and 2GB Ipod Nano Sound Processors : Audio Control Three.1 Subwoofer : Digital Designs 3518's x4 Subwoofer Amplifier : Sundown Audio SAZ-1500D x4 (each pair strapped @ 1) Subwoofer Enclosure : 28ft^3 @ 35hz Wall Midbass 60-100hz : Sundown Audio SD-1 10" x4 Mids 100-2500hz : PHL 2002 Mids 2500-5000hz : Dayton RS52AN-8 Highs 5000hz + : DLS Iridium x4 Mids and Highs Amplifier : Sundown Audio SAX-100.4 x2 Front Battery : Optima Red Top D34/78 Rear Battery : Power Master D3100 x4 Alternator : Power Master 300A x2 Wire and Accessories: Kicker Guess next step would be ordering my sd-1 10's before they run out of stock. Thanks again Jacob. Corey

Corey, Lets try a four way setup, shall we? Why not a 12" SD-1 per door for midbass? They throw down IB with the moderately high Qts and low Fs... cross them over at 60 Hz and they will have ridiculous amounts of output. We would run these up to 100 Hz. Two per door if you can fit them... even two of the 10s if that is more practical... seriously! There is no beating a LARGE midbass driver for realism. --- PHL for midrange... try their 8" model from 100 - 2500 Hz. These are some of the best high efficiency lower-midrange drivers available: http://estore.websitepros.com/1736754/Detail.bok?no=50 You won't need more than one per side... due to the efficiency the rest of the system will be playing keep up. --- Then... how about a pair of Dayton 2" Aluminum dome midranges per side from 2500 - 5000 Hz. These have been compared to the best of the best midrange drivers on the market: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=285-020 --- And... the DLS Iridium tweeter is my favorite of all time... keep that, please You may need a pair per side to "keep up" with the other components. --- Don't buy any batteries or alternators yet... wait until I make some calls. Jacob - After doing a little messure of some door pannels i dont think i can fit a pair of 12's along w/ the all the other drivers. I could easly fit one 12 or two 10's. Witch do you think would work out better? Thanks Corey

I like it Guess im going to have to order me some SD-1's b4 stock runs out. Going to have to messure it out and see what size i can fit. Thanks for the help, and looks like im going to be swapping kinetik's out for pm. Corey

///M5 - Yea i planned on glassing my door pannels, so the custom work inst going to bother me.

///M5 - Well for locations to mount drivers your looking at, dash, a-pillars, and doors. Budget is around 800 or so, but im a flexable. Also power would be comming from 100.2 and 100.4's. Corey

Sence i cant get the quote reply to work on this forum for some reason Jacob - Thats a good idea, like i said not realy sure what to do. Just got talking w/ rich last night and thats what we came up with. Also i would prefer to run power master d3100's but i can get a slight discount on the hc2400's localy so i probally will go w/ them just due to the price. I would love to run pm bats and alts. What would you suggest for a crazy loud (but clean sounding) mids and highs set-up? What ever amps (100.2 or 100.4's) Corey
