hi all

[nigel 148]

hey all.

Well, signed up on here a while ago, and haven't really posted. Well, I'm working midnights right now and thought I'd take the time to finally get back into it.

As for about me/my vehicle/set up.

Right now, I am running:

Head Unit: Alpine cda-7998 (love it, phenomenal and does everything I could ask)

mids/highs: Clarion SRS-1686 component set (6.5" midbass woven glass cone, 3/4" tweeter silk dome)(very impressed, but then, my ears like the sound of woven glass fiber cones...)

Subwoofers: currently (2) clarion SW 1251 12" (single 4 ohm VC, 350 watts RMS)

Enclosure: 4 cubic foot net dual slot ported tuned to 32 Hz, common chamber (built in two hours, while the littlee guy was napping, as the wife was at work)

Amplifiers: JBL GTO 601.1 (for subwoofers) and 75.2 (for component set)

All of this is in my '03 chev s-10 extended cab.

As for the subs, well, I had an OZ Audio Matrix Elite 12.4 in there for the longest time (two years in this truck, half a year in a previous truck, and a year in a car beforee that), still have the OZ, still love it. However I was getting a big itch to try/test something new, and was at my local stereo shop, and the salesguy (being a good friend of mine, who was going to quite his job in a couple of days) says, hey why don't you buy these and give them a test, and then told me he'd give them to me at cost since the boss wasn't around.... Well, I'm a sucker, so I get hooked, line sinker and all, and well, I've now had these in for a couple of months, and have to say, I'm thoroughly surprised/impressed.

Although I'm sure I'll at some point put the OZ back in, I am currently enjoying pushing these to their limits, and I must say, they can handle the abuse fairly well.

I also still have a JL VR 5.25 CSi component set kicking around that I had in a previous vehicle, that I plan on making enclosures for to turn into bookshelfes for the garage.

Oh, and advance apoligies, if I miss the letter "e" in words, as I have a toddler who likes to pop buttons off of the laptop, and it went missing on me....

was bored today, th little guy was out running through the sprinkler, so....

pulled the two clarion 12's out, started putting the OZ ME 12 back in. Need to get the amps/wiring all back in to place.

Cosidering bugging the wife into maybe letting me get either an AA chaos 18 or a fi SSD 18 for christmas. Never ran an 18 before, so who knows.
