    Flex Fuel truck. No pump needed. Should be about tapped out though.

    You got all that for $6800?! No. ROFL, I wish. Prices I showed before were only for the SC.

    Roots makes more power down low. Efficiency only comes into play when you are spinning the compressor at full hoot pretty much as well which is 17+psi and I don't currently have the motor to do that. That being said, if the dude in the thread can provide me with all I need that would sway me. Roots has more on the lower side given the same displacement etc? That isn't how I understand that. Aside from price I didn't know of a single reason to go roots over screw. Do you have some info on roots providing more power down low? I shouldn't say all roots, but the Eaton ones are. Plenty of dyno cowboys show that on LS forums.

    Screw the 15's. I'd love to find a used JL stealthbox for it tough rofl. I may just run without a sub though.

    Bang for the buck the winner by far. Only problem is it isn't 100% of the time and the truck is too lethargic as it is now.

    Also the 1.9L will of course be more efficient at lower boost. So that argument isn't exactly a good one.

    Most likely down to 2 options, I've called on a bunch of others but I don't expect great response. Plus these two are the cheapest at under $6k. Roots: Eaton TVS-1900 (1.9L) in a Magnusson Kit $5800 Plenty of 600+rwhp sub 11.5s trucks on PT, but no build threads like the one below. Twin Screw: Whipple 2.3L in a Whipple Kit $5750 from Mike @ New Era Here is his build thread, which is actually a great thread. Thread alone make me want his kit. 11 pages, but you gotta love track runs along the way http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/sponsor-projects-builds-customers-trucks-209/2012-sierra-rcsb-5-3-build-thread-%40-new-era-performance-505827/

    How Much Do You Throw At Your XCONs? (Daily)

    Don't just say something if you don't plan on backing it up with some logical reasoning. I am not saying you are incorrect, but I do want to know why you think it will sound bad? Just saying your setup sucks is not helping the situation or providing any means of actually helping. I will be running both 2500d amps at 2 ohms like i previously said I was going to because I already purchased both amps. I think you all need to understand that this is a "show car," this is not a car i drive often (maybe 2k miles a year). Not only do I want it to sound good but it MUST look good. Many of you keep referring to staging and such, yet I do not really care about staging at all. this car only needs to be LOUD & CLEAR (No distortion and or vibrations). With the type of music i listen to staging is not really all that important anyway. I am looking more so for loud and just fill. There will be 8 tweets, 8 5 1/4s, 4 8s and the 2 12s. I'm not sure how you think it will sound like a shit show when it is all being professionally tuned with a good sound processor. also you can't really call it a front stage when most of the speakers will be in the rear in a soundbar like enclosure. Any other input? Audio 101 eludes you. Using any two drivers to play one frequency will create interference. Both constructive and destructive. This will cause a mess not only in the staging which you don’t care about but the frequency response. The sensitivity mismatch in your choices is idiotic. If you don’t understand that then you have no business in installing anything in your car. Your driver size choices are completely confusing as well. A 3 way has one major purpose. That is to get as much of the audible spectrum into a single driver as possible. You made this 8 and then picked a size of driver that will beam like hell and generally sucks donkey dick as a midrange. I didn’t add detail before because seriously you have one of the worst laid out “front stage” ideas I’ve ever seen anyone bring to a forum. No surprise that you find inspiration on SMD where the average forum goer doesn’t know his head from his ass and the whole forum is corrupted due to an owner that is keen to make money of noobs instead of educating them. Fundamentally there is only misinformation there not real information. Your LOUD & CLEAR will be loud but will be FAR from clear. Anyways, I only picked a few items on why it is bad there are a ton more. If you did what I requested though we could actually help instead of telling why what won’t work focus on what could. Your processor choice isn’t so good for this either.

    Damn form follows function anyways. Kids will do that to you. I on the other hand am ready to go back to a coupe!!I have this thing called a snowmobile trailer that screws it up as well.

    Maybe??? What was the question lol I am wanting to build playlists from music I don't own and I don't want to pay for the service. This would be for on my phone. Everyone keeps suggesting spotify but I don't want to pay. So my question was what service/app/etc do you use and why? You had bookmarked it and said you had some input. If not sorry for nagging you.I use winamp...but lack of music isn't a problem here.

    An Acura TL is the other car I am contemplating. Haven't test drove either though.If you are into Japan-o-boring then the Infiniti wins in that category if you ask me.
