Yes I use Valspar high gloss black, then just any clear will work, and I use 400 grit to start with, then after many coats of paint, I use 1400 grit to smooth it out. You want to do like 5-6 thin coats, to give it that deap shiny look. Then after I have all the paint, and clear done, I polish it just like you would a car. Polish, then a good wax if you want to really make it pop, and hide any imperfections. I use Greot's garage all in one correcting cream, and a orbital buffer, but I got a detail shop so I already have the stuff, but you can do it by hand just fine, just takes longer.

Definetly one of the best at having sound quality, and being able to get down when you want, for the money.

Is this your setup, if so how does the zed amp push those xcon's?

I use Greot's all in one buffing compound, then after its all done I use their best of show paist wax to really make it pop. The most important thing is getting all the edges sealed really good, cause wood is porous and will just drink the paint, if it's not sealed good. Plus after you start wet sanding the paint, it would be really bad if any water made its way into the wood.

I like to use Valspar high gloss and sand it and clear coat it then polish it to a mirror shine. Black always looks awesome done that way it shines like a grand piano if done correctly. You will need some spackling to put a thin layer on the whole thing before the paint and clear. And the better the surface before paint the better the results.

Dude I love my life, this shit is just key strokes on a phone it don't meen shit in the real world. One reason I even comment is cause I have been reading the forum for a while, and got bored of just observing, and decided to join cause Arron was so polite, and helpful with a question I had on the store. Had I known dude was gonna blast me at every turn the first time I didn't agree with him, I would have stayed just an observer. It's pretty clear no other opinions are welcome here so I will just go back to observing. Ow and I'm not as stupid as I let on, I have a bad habit of acting like how people treat me. I actually worked for JL for a while in the 90's, no I wasn't a top level guy, but I was there and learned a lot from them, great company, and great bunch of people by the way.

So the guy saying he's just a simple hillbilly is stroking his ego, and the guy who says his opinions are facts and insulting anyone who questions his word, engineer or not is above approach? Ok

The audio control has speaker level inputs you run wires from you head unit to the unit then it delivers a signal to your amps.

No they allow you to Adjust the sound to your liking. I know the Fosgate 360.3 allows you to hook it up to your lab top to fully customize your sound. They have 8 rca's inputs or 8 speaker wire inputs for factory head units. Pac sells factory wiring kits to add amplifiers if you wanted to bypass the processing and just add amplifiers definetly cheaper that way.

I said in the comment Rockford Fosgate, and Audio control made them to. And I'm sure some others do to. I would imagine alpine might make one they do a lot of head units and replacing factory GPS's and stuff. Definetly don't have to go JL to keep you factory head unit it's just the first one that came to mind.

Aman to that! ^

Yes I get that about the info except when it's an opinion, like passive/active ported/sealed, SQ/SPL some of these things can be subjective, and no one answer is a fact but an opinion. But it's all good I see what you guys are getting at.

Man I have got along with everyone here, we have great discussions until dude starts his shit, then it always spirals from there and I get the blame cause I want back down. I may have typed some dumb shit after the fact, I get pissed easy but it will work out.

Easy! I said my infinity kappas sucked and asked Arron if I could replace the mid with a evil and still use the tweet until the evil tweets come out and next comment "those infinity's are garbage a evil can walk them" yea I just said exactly that myself.

25k watts of ass kick in that heavy Chevy.

Is that why half the time you come in and say no your wrong that isn't how it works, then 3 comments later repeat exactly what I said just word it different, or add to it. Now I'm not saying you do this every time, cause I have been wrong or misread something, but you have done it more then once. And if I'm truly wrong yea no problem, call me on it I got no problem with that, but if my opinion differs from yours that doesn't make it verbal diarrhea as you call it.

What is that about 30k watts at 18volts? I don't know if I would even set in this thing or not might blow a man's ear drums out.

Giggity goo!

So you expect me to just be silent everytime M5 trolls me, screw that. And it's not just me, go read some of this stuff dude is a dick to everybody. He has maybe 2 guys that back him up and the rest just avoid him. Why is it nobody but those 2-3 guys ever has a problem with me? I believe he just wants to run everybody who doesn't agree with him off.

Thats all good, but here is where I'm coming from. I never said a ill word to anyone until M5 started in on me over not agreeing with him. Then he blew up my negative rep, and when I returned the favor obviously him or someone, went crying to Arron. Or at least that's how it looks to me. And every time I try and give someone advice, or just speak to them, here comes M5 to start a argument with me, or say I'm wrong, then go 3 comments later, and give the exact same advice I did, and just add to it, or word it different. Trust me I have tried moving on, he just want cut it the fuck loose, apparently he loves to argue with me for some reason. And these guys around here fear him like they gotta kiss his ass or they will get banned. I told them weeks ago, if I wasn't aloud to comment on here, or disagree, just ban me.

So if I post I like the US Aqoustics amps that's dumb shit that deserves 3 bad reps. See even when I try to speak nice to you your still a dick, so apparently there is no pleasing you unless I kiss your ass the way these others do and I refuse. Arron why do you put up with this guy. Know way in Hattie's would I let one of my employees carry on like this guy. Agree with me or else. (Forum moderator) I know he isn't actually employed by SSA but is still affiliated to the forum. And some people haven't read how this started and think it was me, but I was nothing but polite when I first came here, so they just see whatever is in the current thread and respond to it. I'm sure if they went back and read every conversation we have had, they would see I have tried over and over to make peace, and explain myself. to get another "yea your just a dumb shit," from M5. So basically you just want to be the SSA forum dictator and nobody but you can have an opinion or comment on anything without lip from you, or threats of being banned. Screw that I bow to no man smarter or not.

I am more then willing to admit I didn't understand the forum or its rules, I have never been in one in my life unless you count Facebook. I thought if I didn't like something I could just hit red like a dislike button. I know they sure blew mine up regardless of what I said. I posted I liked the US Aqoustic amp and got 3 dislikes for it so it's not just me using it. Obviously I can tell who it is and returned the favor. As soon as their ready to be civil and act like adults I will do the same. But I'm no candy ass either, I can give as good as I get if they don't. It's all up to them and I mean M5 and his 2-3 buddy's. Everybody else here has been nothing but polite and helpful and I appreciate it.

Yes you can see now. Did you just see the one I gave you?

I meant to say there posted on SSA not SSA posted them. I know you guys don't have amps. I went back and looked and it was incriminatory and a few others who posted those you tube vids. But I knew I had seen them here to there every where. Sonic electronics, SMD, SSA, YouTube, down for sound, and numerous more have jumped on the band wagon. I try and tell people there bs but they honestly believe there gonna get 1800watts out of a audio pipe 1500 in their car. Lol
