The EQ on hu isn't too bad. I've never messed around with T/A, but if its there i'll use it.. I guess processor would be better since it's future proof

Picked up a kenwood kdc-hd942u a while back for my mothers scion since she was tired of the stock setup. instead of purchasing a new deck, could i add an external processor to go active..such as the rockford 3sixty?

would the icon 12 work well on 600 watts? gonna be powering it with a rsd600.1 box will be 2 cubes tuned to 32 hz

12" box was 2 cubes after port and sub tuned to 32hz gonna go sealed soon since it's going in my mothers scion

Just to update you guys icon sounds amazing on 600

Thanks for the quick reply are there any other processors i can use that are cheaper? just tryin' to do a simple 2 way setup

appreciate it , sir

would the 10 be better in 2 cubes?

I'm helping a member out on hondatech with a new setup and one poster is bragging that the user doesn't need an amp and that hu power would have fantastic sq. My reply was his response was I dont know much about car audio but i do have a basic understanding of it.. thoughts?

he's using stock speakers...

Alright. I will find a different tube to use. $1500 is a hell of a lot of money to put into something that some arseho could just drive away... I still disagree. IMO the stock hu is a poor choice (of course depending on which stock hu). What's the budget? A hu significantly better than stock will cost at least $250. Budget would be the deciding factor on whether or not yours will sound better than mine. atleast 250? you can do it for less..decent entry level kenwood's start @ 150ish

No I suggested that he go with the rsd comps, a 2 channel amp, and sound deadening...you and fcm kept making an argument that he needed rear speakers.. Remember this? I may not know alot about car audio, but you 2 guys are idiots....there's no other nice way to put it.

if you use firefox, download the extension called "download helper" it'll download media straight from the source. that's how i got the 50hz test tone

here ya go dude http://www.zshare.net/audio/6711221981c379ad/

We got off topic when eggy said sq not possible. We were only discussing the aspect of the amp. If you'll read fcm's post he stated that you can achieve sq without an amp, but with properly installed speakers, a good hu and sd. That is when eggy said basically that you would never get sq without an amp. You said huge difference "over 95dB." If you look at the dB chart, 95dB is equivalent to a hand circular saw at three feet. According to the same table 80dB is VERY LOUD road traffic. 95dB is much louder than I like to listen to my music. I'm not arguing that it doesn't make a difference at 95dB, it does, but I don't listen to my music that loud anyway. In my car, I upgraded my hu first. This made a ridiculous difference over the stock unit. I have a real hard time believing that if I amplified the stock signal I would have better sound than I do now. I then amplified my system. This only made a difference at higher volumes, much higher volumes, but now I don't have to turn my hu up as loud for the same "listening" volume and the sq is still the same when the settings are the same however, I now have the ability to change the frequencies that only the rear channel puts out easier. dude you said you could have a sq system with coaxials all around. how many sq systems are ampless? how many use rear fill? how many are passive? come on..

Ya i'm sure that's it...

The sa-12's are still available as they are adding the sa-10 and sa-15 soon.

i see that the lineup only includes the nightshade and z what about the sa12 and x8?

Like one of my buddies once said, forums are dangerous places when people start blindly believing others by post count. ah well, what can ya do..

You're delusional along with the other guy on hondatech mods, lock this up...

ported 15 should work in 4 cubes before port and sub displacement...

i also would've gone kenwood
