I can't find pictures of anything I am wanting to do. I am starting to think it might be too much work to make a large fiberglass beauty plate for the whole back.

I have been looking on woofersetc for a couple of days now and just can't make up my mind on this. What I am planning on doing is putting some tweeters / midbrange speakers in the back of my suv. I want it to keep up with my BTL 18 when I have the back hatch open. Overall I want to spend around a thousand on everything. Everything that's needed is back there as far as power and space. I was really liking the image dynamic horns, but can't find a lot of technical info about them. I am thinking 4 - 6 midbass drivers and 4 tweeters. I am willing to go active and was thinking about trying hifnoics because i've never tried them out before and they have some good prices. Help is appreciated, thanks.

I am going to start fresh.... I will be making a new box for the btl to fit my needs. I am going to be using resin and painting the speaker / tweeter "pods". It will be sort of like rows of speakers on each side of the box going from front to back. I am thinking 1 horn and 4 midbass drivers on each side. These will be raised higher than the box and will slope down to the 18 which will be relocated to the center of the vehicle. I am going to finish this up very nicely, I just can't explain exactly what I am doing. No wood will be exposed anywhere though. There will be a big smooth beauty plate with gradual slopes and a slope off towards the hatch side. The amps will be displayed on this slope facing the back. I am searching for a picture that is close to what I am wanting to do.

Your sensitivity is going back down, also check these out: http://www.eminence-speaker.com/Imgs/proaudio_proseries_03.jpg , I can do you $30 a speaker if interested and I have 4,6 or 8 of them. That price is great, and looks aren't everything.... But these will be completely visible. And the paper cone is the only thing holding me back. I do understand you on that, well if you look at my gallery the speakers in my door with the grills over them are the Eminence's (if you want to cover them up thatsa plus, there is things out their to treat the cones if need be). Its only a suggestion, keep looking. The more I look at those specs the close I get to add to cart.... but then I scroll up and look at the picture lmao. I am trying to figure out how i want to lay all this out in my truck to add to my experience (the driver) and then work for shows as well. I am not sure on the positioning of the horns / speakers.

I love the specs though.

I am looking to spend around a thousand. I am going to get as many as I can with my wattage levels and money. I am really leaning towards hifonics, just for asthetics and I'd like to try their product out. I am pretty much set on 2 of these http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1358 for sure, and thinking about 4,6, or 8 of one of these or equivelent. http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=45_228_254&products_id=8538. I can spend ~1500 tops. I am also shifting more towards quanity now, looking at this pricing. I'd like for this to sound fairly clear at low and normal volume levels. But have the ability to scream as well.

Look with something with more sensitivity, a speaker with a sensitivity of 86db compared to one with 90db (it will take almost 2-4 of the 86db sensitivity speakers to reach the same output of one 90db speaker with the same amount of watts). This is a little higher in price, but has a 88db sensitivity. http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=45_228_256&products_id=1464

I'm liking these for midbass http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=45_228_256&products_id=8492

I don't have any new messages..... I am thinking about a couple of these for tweeters. http://madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1358 And still not set on midranges... but I like these low prices a lot. I was really considering the ID horns for ~400

I still haven't learned a lot about tuning boxes, and normally pay someone to do it or use free box generators. I am likely going to have to build a box with the port extending outside of the box. Is this going to affect tuning? Say i need a 18" deep port in the box. If I just move it out, 14" inside and 4" outside, will this affect tuning?

I understand where you are coming from but most people on this forum will tell you just to have a bomb ass front stage with a good amout of power (which is the right way if you want an accurate and properly stage speaker set up), but honestly its what you want to do and if you feel that is comfortable to have a loud interior set-up like me then you just have to bite the bullet on accuracy or anything else that will come with more speakers. I know a lot of midranges will do the trick, Im using Eminence Alpha-6c with no tweeters right now and there good enough to get the job done and get loud. I also have the Eminence Alpha-6a's for sale (they are the 8 ohm version and I have 8 available PM if interested after researching and looking around) but dont get me wrong their is plenty of other stuff out there that will get the job done. Check out Mach 5 Audio mli-65 on SSA.com (store) or madisound.com, parts-express.com for speaker selections. Thanks, that is mostly what I'm looking for is just loud speaker suggestions. I'm not worried about imaging, I just replaced the stock tweeters which are cross fireing towards the front window. It sounds fine to me, I'm not worried about everything getting to my ears at exactly the same time. Thanks

The primary purpose for this rear fill is for when the back hatch is up. Either at competitions or shows and also to get some noise from behind. I know I likely wouldn't need a lot of speakers to keep up, but it is for appearance as well. I am planning on this being my last upgrade and finishing up everything very nicely. All amps and batteries will be relocated to the back of my box (hatch side) and there will be a beauty plate that essentially covers the whole back. This will of course be below the window line. Currently I have pold audio component speakers in the back and component sets in the front running off the HU (Pioneer P4100DVD). These will be powered by an amp after the upgrade. I thought about adding some q logic kick panel enclosures, but would rather spend that money on the back.

http://www.stylintrucks.com/part.aspx?cate...p;partid=608364 I was skeptical of purchasing this due to price, but really needed some better gas mileage. I have a 4.8 in my truck and the gas mileage was ~15.9, mixed highway and city. Plus the thing drives like a tank with a moped motor, so extra power wouldn't hurt. Install took around an hour and was very simple. After cranking up I noticed a lot smoother, more steady idle. When taking off it really will get up and go now. Gives your engine a nice roaring sound. But this is the best part..... I am now getting 21 MPG :) . That is not conservative driving either....... only thing left is to get a programmer and change some engine parameters to get some extra performance and efficiency. Overall.... BUY IT. Best investment I have made on my truck yet, and it actually pays for itself...... if only car audio did the same.

All in all according to the OEM mpg meter I have increased to 20.5 as it sits now. I will update after running a tank through it and do it the manual way. I know for a fact, my dad has had a k&n and a tune and he increased mileage ~5 mpg in his ford f250 and he has not had a single problem out of it in 5 years. So hopefully I will have the same luck

I will be more than happy to take pictures off the MPG meter. It was reset on the tank after I installed, and the readings are true. I could not believe it nor could my father. He did the same with his diesel f250 and gained 4.5 overall. So far it is pegged on 20.5-21.00

Get a yellow top. After I added mine the engine starts up a LOT nicer

My dad has those rims on his rubicon.... looks good. In his there is a stock 8" sub in the center console... and in the stock sub box is the amp for the entire audio system. Was this in yours?

So I definitely was walking through the mall in Montgomery, Al yesterday and I spotted a guy wearing a white Fi Audio shirt..... It was quite a surprise after going to most of the local car audio shops and having them tell me Fi was some cheap brand that they didn't know about. So that at least makes 2 people that are aware of Fi in Montgomery Are there any others around the Montgomery area?

Could I take advantage of the trade in program for a 3000D with NO scratches or defects, and get one of these?

BTL 18 FTW

Just use the same fluid that most liquid pc's use for cooling, as far as I know electricity will not flow through it just make some sort of heatsink for it.... Now that I think about it.... this seems pointless/difficult/impossible. I don't understand. Just ship the sub to me before you break it. I'll pay for shipping

Go with the BTL, I have never been happier, and I am safely giving it everything my sundown audio 3000d has daily.

CKR in montgomery, or prattville? They have the audio store beside bama lanes that I can not for anything remember the name of in prattville as well. I don't venture to montgomery often. edit: I believe the other one is called power house.

Uploading video..... lmao I think it would be animal abuse at full excursion ~40 hz.
