All DieHard Platinum batteries for automotive are $250 by me. The marine Platinum are $280. Unfortunately there wasn't one Sears carrying the automotive type G31 battery. So nada for me.

Shit, the only military I know is deployed not that I'd ask him to do that really anyway.

New "SQL" system for a metalhead - Right direction?
Shogen replied to pascalc's topic in General Audio
Ok, im willing to give up stage height and some high's to leave the tweeter around the same location, I can always relocate them later on. Either if I feel like I want the stage height or if I ever go with a 3 way setup in the future, I can put a ~3" mid in the tweeter location. I looked at most if not all of the tweeters you mentionned, I looked mostly at the Fs, the frequency response graph, SPL and power handling (wasn't sure on what to look for exactly asides those to make a descision). To me they all seemed very good so its a tough choice, but if im not mistaken, the Scan D2904 you mentioned (I picked the D2904/980000 out of the other D2904 models). It seemed to be one of the only ones that had an almost flat response even well below 1kHz, at 200$ each they are pricey but seem worth it for my application. Is this a good choice? As for preference for the cone material, I have none really, my Type-X just came as a metal cone but I wasn't looking strictly for a metal cone driver. I actually did some reading on this subject last night and found varying opinions, without hearing the same driver with different cone materials, I wouldn't know what to listen for. Currently for amps, I have only a single Alpine PDX-5 and according to the Alpine specs, it does 4 x 75W RMS @ 4 ohm + 1 x 300W RMS @ 2 or 4 ohm, my birth sheet claimed 4 x 97W and 1 x 357W @ 14.4V. Although as part of my plan's, I wanted to buy two new amps, one for the cabin speakers (which will now be my front stage only) and one for the sub stage and my PDX-5 was to be transferred to my girl's Altima. I looked at the Alpine PDX line of amps for my new amps because of their small size and ability to give same power in 2 or 4 ohm. But I noticed that the Crescendo Audio amps were added to the store this morning, I looked at the BC2000D for my sub stage and the C1100.4 for my front stage. Both of those amps together are 800$ which is almost half the price of an Alpine PDX-F4 and PDX-M12 and they put out almost double the power, the only drawback is that they are much larger amps but I could have the room If I build a proper rack for them. Until I nail down tweeters and woofers, im still undecided for the new amps... As for processing, still undecided on that, once we nail down the tweeter and woofer, then I'd imagine we will be in a better position to pick a DSP unit. On a side note, I sent an email to Don @ SDS on Friday with the materials I would require but have yet to hear back from him. Does he tend to respond quickly or is he really busy and takes a few days to respond? Maybe he just didn't get my email either, I should probably send him another email tonight... Well thought out... Don usually is pretty quick, I'd just forward the email again and just mentioned you weren't sure if he received that email. You could also create a thread in the Sound Deadening section. -
Crescendo Audio Amplifiers now on the SSA Store.

insane how quickly you got these up on the site... Now if only you had the speakers... -
SSA welcomes Crescendo Audio to the forum and store.
Shogen replied to Mark LaFountain's topic in Crescendo Audio
welcome sir!!! I am already running an amplifier from these guys... Great customer service with my remote gain issues... great addition to SSA!!! -
Have a good one old man!!

You don't look so happy. Lol

lol... I was just showing this to my pops... He couldn't believe it... Technology like that for a concert??? wtf does that mean we don't know about... hmmmm

Help with preventing voltage drops?
Shogen replied to Angelboy863's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
don't upgrade wire... that's pointless... You need better battery support for later.. But I think maybe a slightly upgraded alternator would help alot for you.. -
3 is better than none!!! Hurry the F up Jon!!!

New "SQL" system for a metalhead - Right direction?
Shogen replied to pascalc's topic in General Audio
Oh ok... Well then mister, ha ha ha.. I had my LPG tweets crossed at 2.5 with a 2-way crossover design but I don't think the slope was steep enough, now I get screeching from one tweet at higher volumes even crossed at 4k now going passive... ... That's why I wanted to know... Thanks again.. and the passive slope is set at 24db now ... You live in learn, I'm assuming I blew it... The LPG is a small format tweeter. 4k is about right. It's utilization and development goals are completely different than most tweeters. It was designed for small format mounting and good off axis response without losing high end sparkle. It is absolutely terrible to use with a mid that won't play high. It is much more akin to a 3/4" tweeter in response and characteristics than a 1" This is exactly why the details of mounting characteristics and locations are important before recommending anything. There is no one stop solution for everyone. Location is great on the dash, at least to me with that tweet... And it does "sound better" crossed at 4k but I've damaged it I believe when I first installed it... May just pick up another one and put it in there instead of hunting for a new set.. Plus what I have in the doors plays fine to 5-6k.... lol Enough clogging of my comments.. Waiting for OP to come back... -

Tweeter to play lower that 2.5k? Really?? Don't know of any but curious to hear about some. ROFL, Dayton RS28, Seas 27 TDC (and all variants that aren’t neo), Seas 29, Seas Excel T25, Scan ArcCirc, Scan Illuminator, Scan Revelator, Vifa XT25, Usher 9950, Morel Supremo, Morel MDT22/29/30/33, Scan Speak Discovery If it has to be small format, Scan D2904 And those are just a few off the top of my head. There are a TON more. Tweeter to play lower that 2.5k? Really?? Don't know of any but curious to hear about some. Some of the Morels do it. The supremo comes to mind. One that've been looking at is the new LD25X from CSS. http://www.stereocla...-ld25x-tweeter/ I don't know if either one of these will be loud enough for this app though. : Ninja'd by M5 Just honestly didn't know of any. Thanks for the examples though. -
