That sucks

You've only heard 6.5"s that were installed like shit and not optimized at all for where they went. The install is more important than the drivers. Focusing on that would do you well.

You didn't read the link.Was a double win Lulz. "Herrrro, this is mister Herro. May I ask who is carring?" That is what happens when I google your post, I get ridiculous smiles

Getting somewhere. Just an FYI, your home stereo would sound WAY fucking better if it weren't a 3/4 way. Cheap passives are awful. For doing what you want, it will be VERY easy with a single 7" mid and a full size tweeter. With good tuning it should be able to surpass what you have at home.

2 less r's i guess

Denwa bongowa. You already have my phone number

More importantly what would you improve about it?

Oh, and home stereo is a start since that is your quality metric. What is it, what does it do well, what does it need improvement on, etc. And leave out the sub portion as that part is uber easy.

That is about as impersonal as any set of goals I've ever heard. Owe it to yourself to figure out what that means in comparison to what you have installed. BTW, You don't buy Klipsch or Yamaha for your car either. No amount of research will lead you in the right direction UNLESS it is a 2 way. Even then I would expect you will change what you choose 3-6mo after you install it. You don't know what you like, have no idea how to listen to make changes, have been severely misled throughout your life, and need to step back and spend some time training your ears.

It would have been cheaper and faster had I just replaced all the components. The only things I didn't refresh was the electrical. Can damn well guess what I am doing this off season. ALL NEW electrical. I want to pull the shit myself and fuse/link it the right way so trouble shooting is simple.

All that is left is stator, wiring or CDI. Trying to figure out the differences in 5 different CDI's as mine is unique. CDI I had was only sold in a PERC kit for the ProX. ProX shared a powertrain with a TON of sleds and none of them had the motor I have. Timing curve on a box made for my block may be improved though as it is a newer design running the older CDI.

Parts had 3500mi on them together

Seriously, you are going to fail like hell permanently on one of your goals. It will NOT sound good. No way, no how. It is absolutely a terrible idea. TERRIBLE. To make matters worse, your previous distortion problem will not be cured by a 3 way. For that it will be no better. You are trying to bandage an old problem with a new desire to overcomplicate everything. Stop doing what you think will be cool or the fuckwads on SMD think you should do. It'll fail like hell. Instead be truthful about your GOALS and then we can help with drivers. It will seriously sound 1000x better than what things will sound like if you do a 3 way. It is also a complete mistake to look at ANY car audio drivers if you are running active. You are also misapplying budget. Spending on DIY drivers is unrelated to car audio.

And J, you shocked the shit out of me this morning. Even though I answered afternoon, lol. Was on rampant conference calls pretty much from 7am - 4:30.

One of the many reasons I avoid the gym

Considering how small Matt's 70-200 2.8 is, it is sort of nuts actually.

35ish pounds and a solid 2.8f from 200-500

It is only 28" long.

I ate him for breakfast

Duck shots may be sweet with it but vag shots are whaletastic

Why'd they hire a midget?

I know Sean bought that lens! I only use that one in Japan. Thing is I am so big in Japan that it makes me look like a normal tourist. Hobbyist size lens in comparison to my body just like a nifty 50 to them.
