  1. 46" long i have a crap ton of pics but that sums them up nicely. My brother-in-law works on the gas well roads around here, apparently this is the 2nd one to try to bite him, the other one he let go, this one was too close. He said the other one was much larger than this one too. Oh yea, it's a timber rattler if the pics don't show

    More fiero stuff

    So this is what i've been up to for the past week, 2 gallons of spectrum firewall on the inside of the fiero, i figure i'll buy another gallon and a roll of raammat just for the roof/doors. The quarter windows were broken so i made some of those too, the driver's side is still hardening and i haven't even trimmed out the other yet, but they look god so far. considering replacements are $200+ i'd rather try using my leftover fiberglass first.

    lookin 4 sum new 12's

    you obviously completely missed the point of my question. Whether you think it sounds like chit or not doesn't matter, what he thinks does. His answer to that question will help in his sub choice. Sounding "good" can be many different things to many different people.

    aside from loudness, are the RE's you're currently running clear enough for you or do you want something that sounds better than what you have?

    Need new highs

    Eh i don't believe all the crap about mids needing to be close to the tweets. some of the best sounding setups i've ever heard (in a car of course) has the tweet very far away from the mids. the cd5000 has the crossovers you need IIRC. the 9835 will too. I'm not sure about the sax100.4, but i'm not a big fan of amp crossovers anyway. It's just way more convenient to be able to tune your system from the seat you listen in. crossover points depend on many things. Type of vehicle, type of speakers, where they're mounted and whether they're enclosed or IB will all change your FR and where you need your crossover points. Then of course there's personal preference on top of all that. i'll go way out on a limb here and say USUALLY your mids will play down to 50-100hz and up to 1khz-3khz. Your sub plays down to 20-30hz and up to 50-100hz (where the mids take over). The tweet will play down to about 2x its Fs, i wouldn't go any lower than that, but that doesn't mean you have to go that low either. If a higher point sounds better, go with it. I have no experience with the MLI's but i'm betting they'll play up to 3-4khz relatively smooth and probably usable a bit above that as well.

    just got finished prepping the fiero cradle. Now i have to wait for the cousin to get home so i can get the 3800 in the air and mark the motor mount spots. tomorrow i have to take the niece to the fair so i'm hoping to get most of the chit done today
