  1. Weeks? How about an afternoon with a Makita buffer and a chitpile of 3M products. Turned my M from an orange sunbleached beast into a reflective red.

    Custom Audio Technology

    I'd be glad to give them a review, but would prefer if it happened after I move. Put me on the list last.

    not the drz9255..i have the dxz955mc...but the drz9255 is clarion's version of a p9. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Kent, I never responded. If the 955 had bandpass filters in the x-over I would have PM'ed you. Regrettably in my kicks I need a high pass on the mids and my amps have none.

    holy cow man that sucks. I would have been one pissed off person if that was me. Oh as far as the EQ question, I know it was a built in parametric EQ I was just saying if you ever wanted more like 31 bands what would be a good option. Not really much since you would have 4 independent outputs and therefore need 4 eq's if you wanted to eq everything.

    All cabs where I live take credit, this one said he did when I got in. As for the plane, who knows. Hope I get home. He obviously just looked at the name and picture.
  6. I think you should finish your install first.

    rlp 18, upper frequency extentsion?

    Since you are talking a sub, to what range is your upper frequency extension?

    mb quart and boston subs

    Your links don't work, but either way I don't even really like their components.

    rainbow, focal, mb, diamond, infinity

    I'd make a 6.5/7 fit. If you do 5.25 I'd do a diy set.

    My night in summary: Fly to LAX since Org Cty plane tickets were ridiculous. My bag is the second one on the converyor "woot: Hop on the bus to the rental car place. Hand the lady my drivers license, she looks at me and asks for papers. What the eff are papers I think? She says that my license is expired. Hop in a cab. Drive all the way to Costa Mesa, the exit is closed and said cab takes a detour $120 cab fare later I arrive at my hotel which is a chithole and overpriced Cabby won't take my credit card so I have to walk to the liquor store to get cash. Not happy am I.

    If you want a "full range" 12, I'd go with one of these open baffle. http://www.madisound.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi...d=1812291.22904

    tru that! also does anyone here have experience with a clarion drz9255? I've been reading a lot about it lately on diymobile and elitecaraudio and it seems to look nice on paper and reviews but who actually has used one? Having a 4-way built in crossover would be nice but what kind of EQ would be good for it? Just wanting to know what you guys think about it. *drools* If Kent had one, I would have bought it from him last week. Only downfall is its lack of mp3 capability. I don't understand the what kind of Eq question though as it has one built in.
  14. Friend just got a deal on one of these 2 questions: Is it an "old" Orion? Is it 1 ohm stable? Any ideas on the power?

    If it were West Virginia Tech it would be easier to understand, but I suppose WV & tech are sort of an oxymoron.

    Tweeter and Xover assistance

    That will add to your crossover cost significantly. The TN28 is no gem either and you can really find a tweet that will blend nicely with the Mli so it is unecessary.

    Regularly on Bm'ers the aftermarket intakes don't work as well as stock. My M5 is a classic example. The K&N filter is significantly worse than the stock paper (I have both). They normally aren't under sparked either. Funny you comment on the suspension as that is the one thing I would look to improve, but I love the feel of the ///M cars.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Start with cheap OEM parts for replacing whatever needs it: www.alloembmwparts.com On the performance side, I can't say that I do all that much modifying; however, the local Bimmer club has a bunch of guys who are that I am tied in with pretty well. What are you looking for?
