    Choosing a sub

    I actually think it has more to do with the passive crossover that ships with it than the actual drivers reproducing sound. They just seem disconnected and not well blended as some of the other passive sets I've heard.

    system for my el camino

    If you port the 10's still, 2 cubes should be more than sufficient. I'd aim for around 1.5-1.7 after diver displacement though to be perfect.

    Yellow Tops, Blue Tops,

    Best bet is to buddy up with a local battery guy and see what large capacity sealed batteries he has.

    Meh, those RE comps leave a little to be desired considering how much they are. I would expect a passive comp set to sound way better if I was paying that much for them. Now the XXX on the other hand..

    uhh.. well each speaker needs .75cuft minimum. You should try to shoot more towards 1.25cuft though for each chamber.

    I'll just go ahead and recommend the old passive Pioneer set I used to have. I bought them when I was a mere noob, but looking back, they really sounded great for what I paid for them. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/p...8_35027,00.html Look around for those.

    Ohm Question

    Sometimes you just need other people to help your thought process along a little lol

    question about ohms

    That would work fine.

    If you're on a budget, the packaged deal that the SSA shop offers on the ICON and the Sundown SAE-1000D would be good for you. Save some money on both amp and speaker.

    that or replace the rear deck speakers with mini subs. Or pull out some of the trunk insulation.

    Cool, since you're in the theme of wasting money... spread the love my friend. I need a few things.

    Are you porting the box or running sealed? If you're porting, I would go with the ICON. Due to the size you have listed though, it looks like you want to run sealed. Which is a shame, because the ICON's shine when put in a properly sized ported enclosure. I sincerely doubt you will beat the W7 in output with a sealed box.

    2 batteries in the trunk

    Not if you get a proper sized alternator, which he doesn't even need since the goal sounds like he just wants more juice for the system.
  19. You won't get good quality music streamed from any website. The amount of bandwidth they use is extremely small equalling very low bitrates. Go buy the CD.

    i just got into an accident :(

    Oh man, that's going to be such an easy fix. Don't even fret it. You need a new fender, bumper and headlight from what the pictures show. You'll probably end up making money on this deal if you buy the parts yourself and shop smart. I've had to go through this before, trust me... it looks worse than it really is.

    recone?

    Wow. Thats great customer service, and standing behind your product. That's ignorant. Have you ever heard of quality control? Did you think about the fact that perhaps the W6 has evolved from previous generations to the point where it isn't economical to keep old parts in stock just in the case that someone blows up their 8 year old W6. edited because I'm an ass.

    If you're anything like the rest of us, you'll upgrade sooner or later. Buy big now, you'll want it later.
