    RL-i 8 question

    I had one with 280w in a .4cuft sealed downfiring under the rear seat of my extended cab and it was very impressive and sounded great. It could easily have handled more power though.

    Either I am nuts or you haven't read the specs on your headunits crossovers. I believe they are just sub frequency HP & LP and won't have something that works for your mid and tweeter. I hope I am wrong, but I don't think so. This means you are going to need an amp with good crossovers built in and will have to sell yours. That or buy an off board electronic crossover. Depending on the budget for your amps there are some that can surely do this, plus all of them will be an upgrade over the PA anyways. Are your tweeters going to be real far off axis or mostly on axis?

    Crap. I can't find my Solen pricelist. I assume you are in Canada so ordering from Solen probably makes sense. Are you size limited (aka do you need a neo sized tweeter or will a full flanged one work)?

    If you set your gains following a tutorial you shouldn't have a problem with the tweeters. Of course, you need some common sense and the capability to hear a bit of distortion. I highly recommend listening to just your tweeters alone first when you first set things up for that reason. Without any other drivers it should make it much easier to hear your tweeters struggling. Another quick cure would be to order a set of the Dayton ND-20's. At $4 a piece you could blow them for the fun of it and as a learning experience while setting up the ones you want to blend with your mid. IMO the Mli65 is a great choice for a first shot at a DIY driver. Mind you I haven't heard one yet, but it fares well by everyone who tests it and the frequency response will make it very easy to blend with a variety of tweeters. Having this flexibility is extremely helpful your first time around. On top of that the value is outstanding. As soon as I get off my arse and drive to Winnipeg I will have a few sets myself The next thing for you is to decide on a tweeter. Are you a metal guy or a soft cone type? Do you have a budget for the tweet?

    Crashing issues..

    Sounds like corrupted USB drivers as well. Do other USB items work okay? I have also seen similar failures when using a device that pulled too much voltage off a USB plug, the cure for that was a powered hub.

    I think they would make a great mid; however, I completely disagree with your not wanting to run them active. Everyone that I have ever met that is a rear fill fan has changed their mind when they have heard my install and I am sure that would go along with any good install. Do remember that more than 80% of how good a car audio installation sounds is in the install. If you don't go active I'd then highly suggest building some passives, an inline bass blocker or some off the shelf passive will not be a good solution. While you are baffling your kickpods, make sure to reinforce them a bunch as well.

    Who else loves alcohol?

    hahah im a tard sometimes So just the regular bacardi rum and coke then? Regular bacardi is a good clear for the money IMO and should be a cabinet standard, but if prefer a darker rum with coke. Such as Bacardi Dark or Mount Gay, or even Captian. Flora de Cana dark rum is my personal favorite and WELL worth the try.

    2008 Dodge Challenger

    But that 93 Camaro is also butt-ugly, perhaps one of the worst looking cars of all time. The new one will be much better, but in that department I agree with Mark the Challenger is sweet looking. Any helotaxi are you buying new only?
