I'm looking to get kinda loud without too much of a loss in clarity. Not sure if the focals fit my bill. Also I definitely am liking the looks/reviews of the CTX. but is the CXS much better???

also... WTF ... is Image Dynamics leaving the game??? http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/Home_Page.html Thank you for the years of support. It is with much sadness that I say Goodbye Eric Stevens Founder Image Dynamics Content copyright 2011. Eric Stevens. All rights reserved.

^^why those then???? now... okay lets say I can "go" for these.... sonic has these listed as the V.2: woofers has these listed as the V.2: both are listed for $315....

my doors are deadened... I would like some output ... like loud as ballz almost... or something below that...

SOOO FUCKING FUNNY BRO!!! So I'm on sonicelectronix and they are now an authorized dealer for ID ... and I was gonna ask if I should go for the CTX since the price dropped to $160....

I want to start kinda fresh.... I don't think I'll want to put in the effort for an active setup... At least not now anyway... What I do want to do is possibly make a "homemade" passive set... Possibly using pre-made xovers and some nice drivers..... Would maybe using the Selenium or maybe the Peerless 830657 in conjunction with that O2 driver on a 2-way passive xover be any good??? Just trying to see if I can be somewhat creative in that manner instead of just buying a made set first.... Thanks for the replies so far though. Just to show more detail: http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_25913_O2_OM-690.aspx with one of these midbass drivers: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=264-1088&FTR=830657 OR http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=264-422&FTR=selenium%206%20w4p WITH: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=260-140&scqty=1

so the lesson learned is don't go cheap and plan ahead??? I was thinking about the Alpines but not sure .....

well... I'm willing to invest about $200... Absolute $300 at max.... And I don't want to have alot of car mods to do... so I think 6.5" drivers are biggest... Maybe 8" if it fits budget and overall specs... I'm just looking to give my car clarity at the top end of the volume.... My subwoofer never gets set beyond -3 on my HU 90% of the time...

did you get tweets Mac? Also how was the sound with the O2... I'm thinking of copying you slightly... but maybe getting a 2-way xover from parts express and adding in tweeters ... would like to get more detail on how they sound with your insane sub stage...

I've been pondering front stage for a loooooong time now.... just not sure how or what to do.... so I'm looking at yours, mac'n'cheese so far and not sure what to do.... It's sooo fcking difficult...

actually looks like a great start... we'll just ignore the first screw up and act like this is your first attempt then... ok??

Kinda late in the game but the Sony's are pretty reliable with their desktops.... It's unfortunate they've ditched the smaller market that is out there that only require basic computing and cater to the entertainment market exclusively now... Anyway, that Acer looks pretty good....

yes, that is correct... you'd be using that external one... then I'd give the Acer a vote...

taken from the first review -"I will say right off the bat that this laptop has a great video card, but a low quality sound card. So if you do audio/video editing and not a lot of gaming, I would go with something else. If your a gamer though, this has unbeatable graphics for the -$600 price range. " aren't you specifically looking for something to record audio ???? honestly though I would let that stop me.. I'd use an external/USB sound for recording into a laptop anyway...

is it the one you linked b4???

looks great... kinda wish that there wasn't that grey cloth layer in between... but shit looks amazing bro!!!

dual core is like a basic standard now... If you don't go dual then you'd be wasting $500... CPU or processor is what basically controls and handles all the requests you put through to the laptop... whether it's open the internet, run adobe, type in your password and even boot up the machine...

so you're not sharing this laptop with the family right? cuz then any laptop is shit for that... But I am partial to Lenovo .... always have good build quality... Asus/Acer/Samsung are great buys as well... I would kinda stay away from HP only cuz I've done way too many "thermal paste" fixes on their units...

nice photos... great that you have time for this and didn't finish your car yet!!!!

nice man :fing34: .... what is his front stage setup? I can see what look like Crescendo super tweets... but what's the rest??

vicks... garlic cloves... product call skin so soft... rubbing alcohol (after having scratched it alot) .... sometimes ice cubes on it for a while takes it away... i know some weirdos that poke/puncture it slightly and it somewhat goes away of the throw some rubbing alcohol in that...

did it at least ship with bolts???

site states about 85w RMS....
