Hey fellas.... Just got this HU installed the other day... Lovin' it soo far.. Some questions: Slope - I have the option of 6db, 12db, or 18db for the subwoofer... Currently I have it at 18db with a cutoff of 100hz ... Good/bad? Ideas? I don't have a great front stage so I thought going up that high would help with overall sound... On the speakers I have them crossed at 125hz with a 12db slope instead of a 6db since I don't want the speakers to sound like crap going below that 125hz... Am I doing this correctly?? Last thing I need to ask... This HU has a voltage read out for the battery???? WTF hugesurprisewhenIsawthisinthedisplay!!!! Is that a true voltage reader or inaccurate??? Here are some pics from my cell:

Currently don't know what level I'll listen at but my previous habits were pretty high... Out of 62 I was constantly hovering 40-50 I'd say ... And when I wanted to show off I'd go 50-60 ... Music ranges from Bach, Tech N9ne, Eminem, Jessie J, Michael Jackson, Beatles, Eagles, Luther Vandross, Usher, Musiq SoulChild, K-naan, K-OS, Queen, Plan B, DJ Tiesto, Afro Jack, Linkin Park, Poets of the Fall, Junior Gong, Beenie Man, Barrington Levy, Bone Thugs, Asking Alexandria... Pretty much anything I hear that I can get stuck.... Speakers are not final(when can final ever be used in car audio anyway).. I have some Polk Audio tweets with a "bass blocker" in them and some Alpine Type-R 6x9s... I am looking into a 6.5" component set still ... Looking at the Aurasound 6000s, Pioneer D1720 and Image Dynamic CXS64.... Not sure what I'll settle on yet. Now as far as slopes go, shallow would be "higher db"??? Like 18db is a shallower cross point than 6db??? Just slightly confused by the way you worded that as I don't 100% know the terminology... I have yet to check what my amplifier for my front stage is set at since I was too excited playing around and driving.. lol ... So where I'm at is about right for a start? Oh yes. Tried well over fifty combinations when messing with the ms8. Test, test, test, see what sounds best to you. Yea I know and I will... Just wondering if I'm starting off okay... He has my old HU and it was VERY accurate in my last car. You have to remember, it is measuring the input voltage to the HU, not at your amplifiers, so of course you will have voltage drop back there. Good to know... I figure it has to be pretty accurate to the front battery level... -
I wanted to cut my rear deck at one point but then I said, shit I won't own this car forever .. Maybe next car I will mod the fck out of it... I'm just gonna stay sealed and power high... My Xcon is fcking loud, I don't know the numbers and probably never will... That's not for me..
-
Just wall off.... and tune low... Fck the numbers man.. That shit will be intense regardless.!!!

Good news!!! -
Yes, please do... I'm on the fence but think I'll go with the Pioneer D1720 .... $70 difference but I think I'd feel more comfortable...

Yea, I forgot I have 0db, 12db, and 24db on my amp.. The speakers I am looking at have a 12db slope.... Should I match the slope or go the lowest possible with the speakers? -
Glad to hear you got your money back. Hopefully you can find yourself an alternator ...

lol... thought so... I was like BAM!!! Now I don't need to get a volt meter ... lol ... Thanks for that... What about my settings rick? Any input on that??? -
Like I said before... If you have the money for it now, the alternator would be the best upgrade since it will continue to power your system as it grows and you upgrade... Good luck on making a decision...
-
Hopefully you get a response soon... Have you talked to Mechman at all during your wait? Size up the wait time there if you needed to do the switch???
-
Mechman is a very reputable company, DC Power makes great product but I would email either company to see if the unit is in stock and when the ship period is... I'd lean more towards Mechman myself plus in your case they already confirm a model that they make for it...
-
Get the alternator... It will support your whole setup.... completing the BIG 3 should go hand in hand with that..

Those JBLs look sexci!!!

Yes, that looks like the car from their other videos that have been posted.... but intense that is...

cool... my SSD is enough for what I do... being on them internets!!! -
welcome sir!!!
-
they look nice enough for the price... I like the idea of getting for my front stage.. but... I need to figure out my new HU first..
-
dude that really blows... I'd maybe sell you my JL 500/1 if you like.... (jk)

Good luck on the build... I'd love to see the 18" in that cabin!!!
