Congrats!! I have a few buddy that lives up there and he enjoys it a lot. He moved from dallas, tx to CO, lol Really nice scenery,

:popcorn:

hahahahah, Lmao, funny story. Court fines are a bitch down here in Nashville. Once I didn't have insurance (still don't), so I got a 180 ticket for that, but that was only from the county, next thing I know, 3 months later I get a ticket from the state for not having insurance FML. They got dismissed since I grabed insurance a few days b4 the court date. Yeah, cops sometimes don't have shit else to do. I swear to you, just the other week, I got pulled over for my tints that on my front doors. But it was phucking 2 oclock in the dam morning! NO shit ther gna look dark lmao.

Hey man sick build! I can't believe that is your first box, I call BS lol So whats next to come for this build?

Well in your case, your right lol. In your case, I bet its probly optimal to set it up the way you do.

Hey guys, A thought has hit me as I look through the forums, and I was wondering if anybody could give me their opinion on this matter. Ok, so why when somebody decides to focus on the "Front stage", do they only focus on the front two doors? I understand that the driver is up front, so maybe that is the primary reason for this. When I look at a install, I would see anywhere from two to eight door speakers but only in the front two doors. I don't understand why isn't it kept to the equal amount of speakers that are in the back two doors, or for cars, the back deck? To me, if I was to put 3 door speakers up front, I would put 3 door speakers in the back as well. I understand there may be different reasons, such as funds, available space, equipment. But even so, if you spend x on the front, why not x in the rear, that is my question. I would imagine that if I was to put as much effort in rear, as the front, it would create a surround sound effect, or just bring the overall sound quality to life. So any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated, THANKS!

In generally, I know theres a shit ton to do with it, but how did those ppl accomplish this? Just simply have some good aftermarket equipment and had their crossovers all setup properly and aiming their speakers in the right direction? I guess I need to go and google how to setup a stage, I don't wna take up u guys time win I can go read 23 pages myself:suicide-santa:

Well thank broke it done very nicely I love analogies, there easy to understand. Well what if you have 4 good speakers, wouldn't that help as well? I understand what your saying, and I'm not tryna throw a whole bunch of what ifs out there, kuz I hate that, but hyptheticaly, if beandip added another $600 component set in his rear, wouldn't he still benefit from it?? Or will that just be totally unessasary and a waste of money?

Hahaha, that was funny. But ok, I see why you are running your setup that way, which makes sense. Well, with my build, I will definately setup the front first as well. But I will like to try to put just as much effort in the rear. If time and money permits of course. But now I do understand the whole "stage" effect. But IMO, I guess I've always enjoy the music/sound, all around me. When I set up some home speakers in my bedroom, I changed the location from just in front, then to all around, and even though it was true surround, as stated earlier, the sound was around me, and was more enjoyable to my likeing. I know HT and CA is wayyyyy different, but jus as an example. Same thing with watching tv, or playing the xbox with headphones. And besides that, (I think) that the more speakers I have, then the more headroom I will have availible on my speakers and amp(s). Not sure if thats completely true statement or not, but i think it makes sense Anywho, thanks for sharing your experience!

lol yeah, after that long you would be. Nice truck btw! holy crap is it shiny And thats exactly what I was thinking, like, if its on, then you wouldn't notice much, but if its off, then it would be missing that sound, don't know how to word it lol. So obviously, you don't won't the rear overpowering your front stage, I'm assuming. But why only a tade bit few clicks? Why not have the front and rear balanced? Does that too have something to do with the whole frequency adjusting? Or is that just a preference?

Thats a pretty impressive HU then. What about other rear passangers? What are their opinions? Not to say I don't trust your family's opinion, I just know that most families don't want their child to be exposed to loud music. I have 3" full range speakers on my dash, aimed rearward running on 15watts. They are audible and sound great, even with my 15" BTL playing at high levels. HOW and WHY do the 3"s keep up? Because they are the only source of the frequencys they are playing and don't encounter cancelation. (single point source) AND VERY little power is needed to produce higher frequency's. I like healthy midbass too so I also have midbass speakers. ALL speakers crossed at the approprriate frequencys, as to not overlap and cause peaks or cancalation in the FR. As far as rear passengers opinions, I have alot of people ride around with me. Alot of music loving men, quite a few play in bands. They are amazed at the acoustics in the car, even riding in the back. My 9 yr old daughter is the other one that rides in the back. She likes dad to turn it up LOUD, and can sing along NO problem. I almost think some days that the back seat is the best in the car due to more equal path lenghts of the single point source sound. The last thing I wanted to add is, when I had to run without midbasses, I had the 3"s playing down to 200hz. Most people couldn't tell the mids were even off, ESPECIALLY at high volume levels. I use to make this statement and believed myself. I had rear speakers for years. I would say I liked the "club" sound. I think the only time it sounded decent was when I listened to rap, and even then I am happier now. wow..... very interesting. I will definately keep this in mind with my car audio ventures. That helps me out a lot coming from some1 who has experienced a before and after, and you wer also a believer in all around speakers, which makes it easier to relate. Thanks for sharing

Did you ever get a answer to this? I'm curious as well since I too drive a explorer

I think I'm on the same boat with you. And now throughout this thread, I firmly believe it is a preference on what people decide to do with their speakers. I mean, I've always known that, but as far as why people decide to overload their front stage, and leave the rear as non-important for different reason that I now understand.

This forum is the shit, I signed up a while back, and never just took the time to get to know everybody (still haven't), but its by far my favorite place to go while I'm at work on the PC all day

Quick note: you can always squeeze any size in a whole, no pun intended, you could simply shave off the outter threading of the copper wire until it fits. But only enough to get the apropiate amount inside.

Chris russ runs one and loves it, hair pin stator design. Pretty much BA alt. Great thread btw! Very informative. x's 2!!

P.S. Love you truck btw, been looking for a 06-07 Explorer lately, a lot actually, lol. Its gna be my next purchase. I search for <10,000 and a few actually show up with ~100k

Wow!! That is so sick. Thats for sharing that That is a great example, Let us know what it sounds like compared to just have your Focals to listen to. I'm curious if what difference it will make in music and in movies. If anybody has a before and after to my question, I would love to hear your opinion. I know now that, the stage effect, is all you need. Now just curious what difference will it make adding speakers to the rear? Better or no audible difference???

Thats a pretty impressive HU then. What about other rear passangers? What are their opinions? Not to say I don't trust your family's opinion, I just know that most families don't want their child to be exposed to loud music.

Try something else now! not later. We wna c pics

Can't see Sad Face

Ohhhhhh, ok, I just read that you wer in that car, I didn't know where at in that car.... Ok, I gotcha. hmmmm, well, lol, I guess if its well done, then there is no consequent in overloading the front with speakers. Thanks for sharring your personal experience with me, now I can realate to what your saying.

Exactly...the sound is coming from the "stage" Have you ever been to a concert or live performance and felt it lacked surround sound? I highly doubt it LOL, I see what your saying. Well in that case, I do see your point. So I guess I have my answer now then. And I'm assuming the only downfall would be the passangers in the rear. Unless you just have a shit ton of speakers in the front, or a good enough system that is properly equiped and balanced so that the rear passangers can still hear the vocals from the overwhelming bass coming from behind them.

Whats the reason behind turning the batts around? lol
