came across phenix gold xenon comps. i thought some one had mentioned them on this thread or another. orginally 250$ i can get them 90 shipped off one site. maybe less on ebay. anyone have exprience with them? i noticed they had alot of options as far as phase, tweet level, and tweeter location adjustments. thats something i havent seen in all the component set in this budget range. -

thanks ill try to get at the alt again. but if i cant ill just hope that addin the 2 channel isnt too hard on the alt. would upgrading to a kinetic/stinger battery be of any benifit versus my lead acid pos. -
im running a 600rms kenwood and after adding a 1.2 farad cap to my car i notice an increase in volume from the sub and better sq. i do not have an upgrades to the charging system. u could assume that i these lack of upgrades are the reason i noticed the differences between having the cap and not having it. pick one up for as little as 15$ and see if adds to your system. if it doesnt just find some kid who likes flashy led displays...........lol

thanks. the main reason i got my tweeters was to raise the front stage up. i would think doin kicks would just put me in a worse situation and would cost more then sealing up the doors,etc. guess its about time to nut up and buy some stuff. however im still tryin to get the electrical worked out so if anyone hasnt please see my post about doin a big 3. -

as a kinda side question. will puting my future component set in kick panel sound better then a door with proper deading??? are there any other thing you can do to a door besided dynamat or raamat deadening? ive never thought of doing kicks till i saw an alero on cardomain. originally i thought it could not really be done so everything would stay out of the way of my feet. -
thanks again for the awsome product. im about to make a ported box and see how that sounds. ive used sealed only on past subs. wierdly enough the spec for both the assassin and arsenal are the same for a ported box. 2.2 cubes at 30hz or something like that. so ill try both subs out in the box just for fun. not sure what ill do with the assassin. some of my friends run some pretty horrible mtx, alpine, kicker, etc cheap systems. so maybe i can convert them to a real sub. geting me some money so i can do some work on my cars electrical. ive also been playing around with this idea using a computer power supple and car amp inside... bet an assissin would make a nice sub for my room. lol
-
i received my sub last week but i didnt notice it was an assassin and ive been runing 600rms to it for the last couple days and it was pounding plenty hard for my taste. however today i found a box in my home with a new sub in it. i quickly noticed it was the arsenal i had ordered and that ive been runing an assassin with over twice the stated rms for the last week. cant believe the sound quality im getin from just one 12!!! what quality product. cant believe i didnt blow the assassin!!!

ok tried to get at the alt from below but that didnt really work out to well. the alt just stuck under everything heres some pictures that can explain what i mean. engine bay battery another view of battery see it down there... batter to the left and engine to the right taken from above the battery looking down towards the alt this is from under the car. the alt is on the left.the hose on the right has some wiring in it. one of which goes to the alt. but u cant see exactly where it goes another shot from below -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- just to make sure its battery ground battery + to alt + chasis to motor ground...? or is it alt to chasis?? -

lithium replied to lithium's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
ill post some pics alittle later. im not sure on the chassis to motor part. i have to take that skirt thing that is attached under the bumper off the front of the car to get to the alt. as far as sellin the cap and geting a better battery, ill have to look for some prices but that seems like a sound idea. any links to some 0 gauge wire and a battery??? -

ya i guess i can try to find the cleanest playing pair i can and hope the midbass isnt horrible. but im sure a pair with 6.5" mids will have a better low end then my 5.25s -

thanks for pointing that out. i just dont want to take a complete shot in the dark here; unless i either have alot of ppl say go get this set of speakers or have the chance to atleast hear them... even on a board. if i had the money id go active.... but i cant... all my money from now on is basicly goin to college stuff, insurance, and afew other things. ill be happy with a cheap pair of components that play some decent music and my lil aa arsenal. by the way if know have experience whith the big three. give me alittle help. ive got a post with a few question under >>>>>>>> Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors -

ill go to circiuty carry the same hu i have and also kicker amps. see how they sound on some of the speakers (polk and kicker)there and make my decison. see how they do agaist kenwood and rf at bestbuy. wish there was a shop around here with some other brands. i cant just jump and buy some of these other brands without hearing them. though i might as well. lol think ill try a big three in the mean time. but ill start another post for the few questions that i have. -

i think ill go up to circuitcity and best buy soon and listen to anything they have. to get an idea of how a similar product compares. id like to know if i would enjoy a metal tweeter over cloth... for 120 i think the polks would be nice upgrade. but ill make a decision after listen to some other options as far as amps go im still looking at a kicker on ubid.com ill try to bid on a 250.2 or something with around 100rmsx2 would you recommend me selling the cap and doin a big 3? what gauge sould i run and what are some good site that sell cheap wire. im gona go stare at my engine and see how i can do the big 3. oh and to get the 6.5" woofers in the door. the 5.25s are screwed to this plasic riser. that is mounted around a hole in the door. if the hole is big enough or to big i was gona do a simple mdf riser. -
