It is supposed to be used as the volume control. Read the H701 manual, page 5. http://vault.alpine-usa.com/products/docum...%20PXA-H701.pdf

Thanks boys!! Just got back from 3 days of camping in the cold... and while the weather was complete chit, I had a blast.

I am running 1) right now, and the midbass on the Type X's is lacking. I am going to be purchasing something like option 3) next week... just have to see how much depth I have to play with here.

12", ~1.5ft^3 tuned to ~35Hz, 4" aeroport. Downfired. Covered in foam on the front, top & sides. Wrapped in vinyl. There is about 1.5-2" between the bottom of the box, and the transmission hump. It is for a MAW12. I'll get a picture of it installed in the truck asap.

Depends on how many layers. My trunk in the Sentra took ~30 sq. ft. per layer.

I just found out about www.solen.ca.... looks like I have a Canadian distributor with prices that are about the same as Madisound, without crossing borders, and the resulting delays.

I'm agreeing with Sean here. If I was in your shoes, I'd go bargain hunting for a decent 5 channel amp. Use the 4 full range channels to power an active front stage. Buy a Mach5 sub for the low end if you need to. Pick up a cheap electronic crossover for the front stage, or buy a used deck that has electronic crossovers built in... Here is an example: Active Crossover Capable Headunit - $200US shipped 5 channel amplifier - $250US shipped That leaves ~$370 to spend at www.madisound.com on the front stage & subwoofer. You can also consider using the MLi-65 from mach5 audio... www.mach5audio.com or check the SSA store. Otherwise, just have a look at Madisound for example. Tons of options for mids under $70 each, and tweeters in the $30-40 each range. The front stage I am looking to purchase will be ~$230US for two 7" drivers & two 1" tweeters. I think that is about how much Sean's front stage in his truck would have cost.

Especially when most houses are studded @ 16".

Make a ported coffee table for a 18

I shelfed the IB idea... the hinges go through the rear deck, and would be extremely difficult to seal up. The H701 came in today. Have the unit installed, but have to wait until tomorrow to use it, because I need an optical cable, the 6ft one I have isn't long enough. Did more deadening, laid down another 50sq. ft. Deadened under the rear seat with two layers, added a third layer to the rear deck, and a second layer to the trunk. Also have started a new fiberglass enclosure w/ an integrated amp rack. Also need to remove the seats tomorrow and remove my crossovers... and deaden and measure the depth on my driver's side door. Then go camping until Monday.

No

It's scoop.

I agree, especially since you are American... Since I am Canadian, I went with B-Quiet. See my project log for my deadening work.

Werd.

Another option for me to chew on.... I have a MJ18 4ohm version that I am not using. Could IB it, with the baffle mounted in the opening to the rear seats. I suck at deciding what I want to do. On another note, I received another 200 sq. ft. of sound deadener yesterday. Just need to measure how much room I have in my doors for mids & make my Madisound order.

So, what kind of performance did you settle with for it thus far?

Leg day today went well, weight is still 225. Stairs are mighty difficult right now though Squatted 305 for 10, twice Leg Pressed 8-45lb plates for 15, twice Hack Squated 6-45lb, 2-25lb plates for 10, twice Also compressed my leg workout into 45 minutes... Squats 15,15,10,10 Leg Press 20,15,15,15 Hack Squat 15,15,10,10 Calf Press 30,25,20,20 Leg Extension, Leg Curl superset 15,12,10 I like doing my leg workouts in a HIT method, 90-120 second rests in between sets. When I started, I had a hard time putting up 180 for squats. Thus far I only supplement with 2 scoops of protein mixed in skim milk when I get home from the gym. On days I ride my bike to work, I drink 2 scoops of protein in skim milk when I arrive at work.

three dual 4 ohms, wired in parallel/parallel would be close (0.67)... and higher with impedance rise.

I took measurements last night... the amount of deck space I have is only 8", unless I remove the trunk springs.

I need an amp that runs ~50Wx2, and small.

IB MAW-10s hanging from the rear deck... good idea or bad idea? Mark told me ~100W per driver to keep them alive, so I'd have to wire them in series/parallel. I've never heard an IB configuration before, but have always wanted to try. Can anyone estimate the output difference between 3 10s (10mm xmax) IB, to a 0.7 sealed enclosure? (Probably not...). Might be one of those things to try, and see how I like it. Best picture I have of the trunk side of the rear deck. It has 3 6.5" holes.

Cardio in the morning, or after workouts... I prefer to lift around 4pm. If I miss that time, 7pm. I'm in the gym usually for around 60-90 minutes.

Seriously considering IB with the 3 MAWs (maybe 4)... Not going to cut into the rear deck, so a mini "box" to use to hang them from would be in the works. That would free up all kinds of room for amplifier mounting & junk in the trunk.
