bra sizes?

 

subwoofers

xxx = resonant engineering

dd = digital designs

 

Thanks purex7. These are some badass subs!!!

 

 

That simply would not fit in an FD, I don't think. I wonder how heavy two of those would be.

 

it would fit in the fd in the rear hatch on an angle without a problem, its overkill and i hate SPL, ill take a velodyne or seas lotus sub over any spl sub any day of the week. SQ FTW

 

Not in my hatch, I've still got the drop down cover, so that kinda limits the height of anything back there. But I agree, SQ is better than SPL unless you're going to a competition or something. Purerx7, what HU are you running? I'm currently looking at the Kenwood KDC-X790 but haven't quite made up my mind yet.

 

well i actually just sold my alpine iva-d310, as i thought it looked tacky sticking out and besides the fact it was easy for theifs to see. So im back to several options:

if i am going to do video, i am going to go with the new alpine iva-w205 (+ h701) thats coming out soon:

Now, if i go single din im going strictly SQ:
alpine f1 status

Pioneer odr


Im really into car audio and my new setup will be very very sq orientated, plan to run,
one of the above headunits
2 sets of polk audio sr speakers (900 each)
Sinfoni or Brax Amplifiers
Velodyne or Seas Lotus Sub

This is going the extreme though and will cost in excess of 3.5k and thats with me doing all the labor.

 

I can't go double din as I've got gauges in the lower din. As for Alpine's newer HU's, I've heard some bad things. If I was going to drop more than $250, I'd probably go for an Eclipse of some sort, but I think the Kenwood will be fine for now.

 

thats alpines f1 status, 1500 headunit with out processor, one of the best headunits ever made.

 

I don't doubt that it's good when it works, but I've just heard that they recently have a lot of problems with defective items, even on their high-end stuff. I just picked up an amp from them, so I'm hoping that's not true, but we'll see.

 

yah their lower end was full of problems, but their new line that came out has turned out to be pretty good and redeemed themselves. Depending on which alpine amp you got, they have a problem with over heating so make sure you give it enough space to cool.

 

Yeah i could agree with the older alpine stuff not working but the new stuff isnt bad at all i have yet to have somebody come in with bad alpine stuff. I think you could find a better amp than that kenwood though.

 

Did you mean headunit?

 

How did those work out? I've been looking at them for two weeks and just can't make up my mind!

I've had good luck with Vifa/Peerless in the past but that's always in the DIY home audio market... haven't dealt with any car audio stuff from them.

 

Still haven't had a chance to put'em in yet. Wires are the bane of my automotive hobby and the weather's been horrible (I live in an apartment), so tomorrow I'm headed to a friend's garage and we're going to do some maintenance and install those speakers. I'm going to write a full review on them once I get them put in, as I couldn't find much info on'em before ordering, so keep an eye out in this section.

 

I'll deffinitely keep an eye on it. I looked all over and couldn't find anybody this the system

 

rockford is crap. i put polk sr6500's in my car and they are awsome but kind of expensive

 

how do you like them? I can pick them up for about $400, i plan on getting a set for the front and rear and power them with a sinfoni amplifier.

 

dude if you can get the sr's get them they kick ***

 

4" under the dash for highs worse spot ever for them and sub.... a pair of 6.5" and a inline 250htz highpass for the 4" will make your highs sound way better and the 6.5s can play the mids
