    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Those might be the grossest chips I've ever had. Tried some last night.I am pretty sure it is a southern thang. You can mix fried food with ANYTHING. I like and understand chicken & waffles, but the shit they put on those chips is garbage and disgusting.

    balance/SQ, lossless line voltage?

    You CAN'T handle a 3 way active. 2 way is going to be hard on you as it will sound worse than a stock comp set for months. No amount of electronics is going to help that as you need to train your ears. I still don't understand your fascination with HD radio either. You want SQ. Fuck radio and HD is almost always worse. What is the purpose?

    Dieing to know if you like them. Contemplating a set myself.

    Funny. We stood outside yesterday for more than 5 hours. Took turns thrashing on the kiddie sled. Was a fucking hoot.

    Buy the Honda. In general I am anti-Honda, but their track snowblower is fucking bomb diggity. Probably would have saved you nearly an hour.

    Why do you want HD radio? 93x broadcasts in lower quality in HD mode than you will get with FM as they use a highly compressed signal (unless something has recently changed). You can also own nearly their whole play list for $100. Seems SUPER self defeating for what you claim your goals are.

    Mid-Bass Driver Selection

    I bet you want us to not say change the axis of the driver either? Of course for that you are going to need a dual mounting so that in the car they are in a position and doors open another.

    Mid-Bass Driver Selection

    You are being meaner on your doors with that choice Yes ....and then the OP tells about wanting an audience to hear as well. This is a game changer, but also self defeating since your first post specifically asks for an SQ option. Good long distance and short don't mix. You are now picking for the ones outside the car and not the ones in. I could never make that choice or compromise.

    winisd spl graph

    Depends on the goals. Why not put in the recommended and compare them. It will tell you more than we can and give you the opportunity to ask better questions

    8" of fresh snow on my driveway. Nice since we lost that much today. WTF was with having 2 days around 40F. That sucks. Hadn't really lost any snow this year due to early melting and that hurt. I've got to cross the Mississippi a few times tomorrow. Hope it didn't thaw

    HD radio? Seriously. Is anything even broadcast worth a shit here that makes that at all worthwhile?

    Between those two I've put on maybe 8000mi. She did put a couple thousand on the previous one to that though

    I could probably add she has never ridden it.

    Get a headunit with one built in. Having something external you are not prepared for.

    balance/SQ, lossless line voltage?

    I am actually worried you will have too much which will end in a much worse result than if you had none at all.

    balance/SQ, lossless line voltage?

    Why would you do that?

    speaker help

    Yes and not consistently. Create's a fucking mess. A single driver per frequency is ALWAYS the best approach. Rears do NOTHING positive in ANY install.

    balance/SQ, lossless line voltage?

    You can on the 880 so I'd guess you can on the 80. You don't NEED headphones it will just exaggerate the differences IF you can hear any.

    balance/SQ, lossless line voltage?

    You have them, listen to one in your shop and tell us. No. There is no difference in signal response. Frequency response sure. They crop things significantly depending on the compression but this doesn't intrinsically mean it is lopping off harmonics. ie, if you have a 25Hz note, harmonics of 50Hz, 75Hz, 100Hz, etc... It'll take a rather high order of harmonics if the compression lops things off at 10kHz. Of course the first harmonic of 5kHz is 10kHz so there the effect is different. And please, stop believing in garbage and use your damn ears. I don't understand why this is so hard. Google blind A/B testing. Then setup a jury test for yourself where you DO NOT KNOW anything about when what will be played. Let your ears decide. I guarantee one thing here, when you do the test right you will be shocked at how much compression can occur before you notice. And please do cheat. Use some expensive headphones for the test.
