Definitely okay to be upset, but it won't go over well if you are emotional when the discussion happens. Make sure that you bring it up when you are cool and collected. If you go after your cousin for it things will get ugly and considering you live together that wouldn't be so great. A question to ask yourself perhaps would be at what monetary value would having a 5th roomate be worth it to you? It might help you be objective about the situation.

As for the picture upload, are you over the file size limit? Probably my files are as shot. I was going to shrink them all but have to do it manually. If someone had a batch program they'd recommend it would be easier for me. <--older than the average member here

I should have said he will call me if he fits in it, pretty much sold on the car if he does.

uncle just called, he is on the way to look at a SL55AMG. If he likes it he is going to pick me up to go for a ride!

hey

electrical tape ftw

I like how you mounted your passives for the parade

An Rli8 ported takes more than 3cuft total... edit: when built right

What he's saying is that loud SQ may not be what you're going for. Exactly, not even close.

Only strange since you are still in school. Some weird things happen for good reasons in the real world.

I'd be curious what your front stage could do

It is very easy to swap a front stage out and if you ever use SQ to describe your system it will have to be done. Typically it needs to be done first. Not possible with your power. If you want super loud with the amp you have you will have to give up any semblance of SQ. If you want SQ you won't be able to hear it 10' away from your car when full out with the windows closed. With them open it won't offend anyone. You are asking for two opposite things and it isn't possible. Actually with an E36 the first goal isn't really possible either, the car is too tight. You can make it wang, but it will never be a ground pounder or if so it will be louder outside the car than in and that is the gheyest thing ever. An E36 will require that you do some serious fab work to get another 3 way in. Considering the questions you have been asking I would highly recommend that you go with just a straight 2 way. It is fairly easy to get a 6.5" driver in the kick and of course that is preferred. And one other comment, the whole wanting to be heard thing is pretty immature. Your stereo should be for you and only you. If you want to make 180dB in your car that is fine with me, but the install goal along with it would be to make it as quiet as possible on the outside.

lots = 2

*uploading the first

Trying to upload to an SSA gallery now. It finally let me create a page.

Is there a system you have heard somewhere that you liked? My gut feel is what you are asking for and what you are asking aren't the same...

Hey VJ. I thought you were an SQ guru

No such thing as loud SQ with the stock front stage...by definition it will be pretty hard to blend the two together when you have 800w on a sub and a chitty 5w or less on your mids. Where are you located and what portion of your budget do you expect to go to a box builder?

To answer your question though you don't tighten it down enough to squish out all of the clay. Just snug.
