Well fuck it if you think speakers with more power will help then go for what you know, kinda pointless to ask for help and not use it wisely. These guys know what they are talking about, if they say you need deadening then get it because eventually your gonna need it anyway. But good luck *Oh yeah the power levels of a speaker dont determine jack shit, so buying speakers with more power does not guarantee to you will be louder at all.

First take the cap out of your car or whoever has one. Like stated above it is not his head unit that makes it louder, just set your amp's gain setting to match your pre-out voltage (which will give you the same results as stated above). The car makes the sound seem different in two different vehicles with the same equipment, plus his stock electrical is probably better then yours which will provide more power. So a line driver wont do it, read all these post above carefully and you will understand no line driver.

actually if i go with rockford am going to go threw ssa store. saw you had the cheapest price. thanks. but would like the kicker l 7 speakers. they are slammin around the hoods. Actually any speakers can slam around the hood, so I hope that is not the reason why your buying them.

1. How old are you?---24 2. When did you get into car audio?---19 but always liked it before but thats when I started getting my first system ready. 3. How did you first get into car audio?--- Bought tweeters and replacement speakers for car before I upgraded head unit and that was next step. Let someone install the tweeters and headunit didnt do a good job so I vowed to myself I will learn what it takes to do my own installs and never looked back since. 4. Whats your favorite color---Black 5. Male or female?---Male 6. Your first Car?---2003 Saturn Ion 8. How did you find out about this site?---Sundown Audio and YouTube videos 9. What was your first system?---2-12" Sony Xplods on a Sony Xplod Amp 11. Were do you live?-- Dallas, Tx 12. Whats you favorite car audio brand?---Sundown Audio 15. Who is our hero in the car audio industry?-- The guys at ssa (x2) 16. Whats your dream system?--- Loud Interior Speakers and Low Bass Notes 17. Whats your dream car? --- BMW M5 18. Whats the fastest car you have driven/ridden in? 140 in a 1990's Dodge Avenger while racing a Ford Lightning truck on the way home from parking lot pimping, while the owner of the car was asleep in the passenger seat. 19. Were do you buy most of your car audio products? Internet 20. What is your job?--- Unemployed 21. Whats your favorite saying?--- I guess 24.

Whats is the most recent thing you have purchased? --- Mach 5 Audio MLI-65/ KnuKonceptz Klarity RCA's 31. Who do you think is the most knowledgeable person on SSA?--- Impious/M5/Tirefyr 32. What is your personal best on the TL? and with what equipment?---Never Metered 33. SQ or SPL? why?---SQ because I like for it to sound nice and blend in, not worried about numbers and high hz bass notes.

Well it depends on the headunit, some just buy an external crossover if they dont plan on spending the big bucks for a headunit that can do the active process (which are only a few). Im just gonna use my amps and call it a day since Im not getting in SQ comps or anything, I am gonna buy a better headunit but not one that will control a three way by it self just dont see me spending more thatn 300 for a headunit.

You can use your amps (like stated in my going active thread) but you wont get the fine tuning or best front stage with just the amps. You will be missing out on time alignment and other features that a good head unit will give you but it can be done with just amps.

Im gonna say subs/port up or subs/port forward firing but if you are looking for the best option that will require some testing unless someone with a Dodge Ram has done testing and could chime in for you.

Glad you could join us buddy

Thanks man for the feedback and I insured it for my safety and any mishaps that could happen from here to there so I couldnt charge you for something your not in control of (plus it was worth the $2 I paid). , enjoy them like I did (any more questions just ask).

Im scared for the Envoy, glad to see they got their fine.

I would plan the system out smarter than that so you wont be waisting money in the long run. Such as buy one sub now at D1 version so when you buy the other one you will already have the right voice coil's on them. Now if you want the Nightshades v2, then I would just start saving up for an amp to each or one single amp however you plan on doing it so you can get the amps out the way while waiting on the subwoofers. This will also allow you to get you car ready for the install such as wiring, electrical and such.

Yeah I completely understand you on that one, everybody wants to bump for cheap instead of pay the big bucks to do it right (im having that issue right now with a friend of mine).

well congrats and family safety over bump anyday

What a beauty and a beast it is gonna be for some systems out there.

Aww why did you have to post that, I havent even installed my Z15 v1 and you have me jealous already.

Just tell him to save his money and go find someone his own age but if he insist on staying with her then some lingerie they both can enjoy.

Mr ***** ***** himself. I didn't know his name was a curse word... cover your ears kids! lol Save money and get 10 or 12. You can pick up jumper cables at Menards and Fleet Farm, (don't know what stores are near you put that's what I got), for plenty cheap and use them for speaker wire; they usually have straight copper in them. Yeah I stole this idea from this guy and they work out well plus all copper strands baby, FTW! Saved me money also, when it comes to speaker wire it wont be that much of a difference in what you use (nothing noticeable).

Give him a chance to come back on here and answer buddy, no need for all these posts (it wont help him respond any quicker). Thanks

The same as any other trunk system with the seats up, not as loud but when the seats are down it will be louder.

nope

ok. give me 20 grand for a tahoe, and then 5 grand for the system. thanks. Alright I got you, give me your information

I still have more questions about things but Im out applying what I learned to midrange speakers and Im getting more depth out of them and suprised how low they can get for some PA speakers. If anybody has any questions or things to add please feel free to add.

Yeah Im gonna try my attempt at three way, shhhh dont tell nobody! Im in the process of trying to get rid of some of these Eminence's first but I did 1 of the 4 MLI-65's Im gonna run just to see how it performs and whatnot.

It still doesnt matter what you tell us nobody will know, get the tahoe and both subs. Then test both subs and come back then tell us resultss of the experiment.

I figured, yeah that song beats donw
