    New car : should I run the front speakers active ?

    that is exactly what will be done : 2 wires in each front door. One for the tweeter and one for the mid.

    Mini dsp works on Apple. Hopefully.

    I talked to my installer : he will run 2 wires from the amp to each door. That will allow me to use the set passive until I buy a mini dsp. Best and cheapest solution for me. I took a look at their site, I don't even understand what I need to order !

    My first SUV gets a sound system.

    Thanks. Phonocar is an old Italian brand. They are the only one who sell adapters for each car we have, dash kit, wire, amps,..., and now those wood rings I found in a serious local car audio shop.

    the Zcon : I have a picture of the mids and highs speakers, but it's too ugly. I can't post it ! I'll take a better one assp. a little rca mess : I like those wood rings for the mids : they are well done. thanks to Phonocar (the only brand I know making EVERYTHING for car audio) :

    New car : should I run the front speakers active ?

    I will install and use the passive filters in the back, near the amplifier. When I chose a way to run my system active, I'll ditch the passive filters. I need to read seriously about the mini dsp before I order anything. Can someone give me some good choices on other processors, please ?

    It works with Mac hopefully !

    New car : should I run the front speakers active ?

    Ooh ! I need a pc to use it ? Do you mean a computer or a pc with Windows ? I have an Apple laptop, I hope I could use it with the mini dsp. I'll check that with our friend Google ! Honnestly I'd rather use something I can adjust on the fly ! Without any more equipment. But I guess that leaves me with more expensive choices like the ms-8 ou the Audison bit-smthing.

    help deciding

    If you're on a "regular" budget, you may not need so much batteries and a HO alt. That is a lot of money. A single 18" ? why not ? Trailblazers have huge cargo area, you could do whatever you want. You're coming from 2 12"s on 750 watts, so 1500-2000 w on a serious 18" would be a big improvement. Keep searching ! Good luck ! BTW : I love my single 15" Zcon ;-)

    FI BTL N2 SPECS NEEDED

    You're on the right forum to find those info. but it 's better to tell what size sub you have :-)

    How to put the port ?

    There will be enough room between the back and the port. I wanted to know if there was a maximum : can the port be "far" from the back with no issue ? Port standing or laying down ? Is there any benefit from one choice or the other ?
  18. Ok thanks ! I'll probably get a Pioneer 8600 bt then ! 600 € to find :-(
  19. I have the Mazda now ! I have parking radar display on the head unit screen. Do you think I can get the same info with a double DIN Pioneer head unit ? I have the Pioneer gear to keep all factory steering wheel fonctions.
  20. Toyota sold yesterday. I'm on my way to get my new car !

      Car shopping is fun, I always take a tape measure to see what I can fit.

      I thought about it for months ! It's my first SUV : a Mazda CX-5. My Zcon 15" will love the room available !

    I'll just leave this here.....

    More pics : As it sits now, or from the buld log. I'm just curious, and I love all those amps ;-) I don't mind db scores or videos. I'm not into spl or into door or car flex ! I like the well done works, and if it plays like you want, it's perfect !

    Help with SP4 18" Box build

    Faced up, you have only 47cm for a 46cm sub. It's tight. Can you go bigger ? In a Polo VW you want sub and port up for an 18" sub. Port in the back would be very close to the hatch. Good luck fitting such a big box in that small car. With back seats out, it would be easier, with sub up and port rear firing. Show us some pics if you can, please.
  23. No need for satellite radio in my area, I don't need bluetooth. No integrated dash. The kit is cheap. It's not a matter of money. I already have a Pioneer h u that I can use, or sell with mu current car. I don't know what "processor" I can use with the factory head unit. I need one I could use if I ever decide to install an aftermarket deck later.
