    Going Active

    I was just in your same predicament. I ended up picking up a Pioneer 880 Prs, You can find a nice JL 300/4 for around $200 on ebay If you watch around. I picked up a pair of Mach 5 MLI's, and some SEAS Neo tweeters. Sounds great, still need to deaden the doors to bring up the midbass though. SEAS Neo tweets http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...roducts_id=1466 Great for the money.

    Whats considered a hairtrick?

    I've got one 15 at 32hz in a pickup, no hairtricks for me. Chest shaker though. Deeeeeeep bass.

    Not enough output on rock music?

    Everything is around 50hz to 60hz and about 7-8db. I have a 60hz -3 db test tone I was thinking about using. Think that would make a difference? I used a 50hz.

    Not enough output on rock music?

    Subsonic set around 30ish I'm running crappy Infinity Reference Coaxials till I order a new front stage next week. Mach 5 audio 6.5's with some SEAS Neo tweets will be goin in there off of a JL 300/4.
  5. Ok, this is gonna probably be a stupid question. I just got my Fi Q 15, it's running in a 3.6cu ft box tuned to 32hz. I set my gains on my sundown 1500 to 31.6v with a 50hz test tone. I get alot of output on rap and bass tracks, but on music like Dave Matthews or John Mayer, or even Stone Temple Pilots, you really hear no bass and the sub is barely moving. I know I have a little air leak around the bottom of the gasket but I dont think that it would make a difference. I have the sub crossed at the deck at 63hz with a 18db slope. No bass boost at the amp. I really would like to know why I dont get much output. I'm happy with it on rap and bass tracks. I move my back wall and shake my windows on bass tracks, but not much output when It comes to Alternative and Rock.
  6. Thanks John, I went ahead and bought the HO alternator. I figure I may as well do it right and fix the root of the problem. My factory is 70 amp according to AdvanceAuto, this ones 165. Should help alot! For $150 cant beat it I guess.

    Happy birthday Nick Morgan

    Happy Birthday!
  8. Ok, question. Would you guys add the battery in the back, OR just go ahead and spend the $40 more and put this in there and no rear battery? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-Truck-...0072143556&
  9. I'm not as much worried about the lights as is now, but I am worried it's gonna get alot worse when I put the JL 300/4 in there...
  10. So do you think that the HC 800 would solve some of my voltage problems? Newegg has some open box for $100 shipped. Only $50 more than the amp kit to power the JL im putting. I'll just hook the two amps off the battery and only need a short run of 4ga for the JL. Would you guys even consider open box? It's about $40 cheaper.
  11. I was looking at the second listing you posted and I just didnt know how the quality was. It's not a bad price though. I would probably pay that if It did 165amp like it says.
  12. It is a 1999 Toyota Tacoma V6 5-Speed without ABS and no power doors. I know I hit a good note in a song and my Voltmeter on my Premier 880 showed like 12.6v down from 13.7-13.8v
  13. Ok, I just got in my Fi Q 15. I have it running 1000rms at 1 ohm on a Sundown 1500D on stock electrical. I am getting a bit of dimming. I have a run of 1/0 wire with a 1/0 battery to chassis ground. I am thinking of going pickup a Kinetik HC600 or HC800 and put it in the back since, I still have to hookup my JL 300/4 back there. Would this take a bit of strain of my front battery? I REALLY dont want to have to change my alt. Factory amperage on my Tacoma is 80 amp.

    Recommend components under $200

    Ok, so I've been reserching and I may go with the SEAS Neo Textile dome tweeters, flush mount in the kicks. Mids are questionable. Thinking of giving the Mach 5's a try. Or maybe some Vifa P17WJ-00, or possible some Aurum Cantus AC-165's still up in the air on that though. Probably the Mach 5's though. I like the idea of 4 ohm.
