How do I upload a video here... what size and format?

I have to upload them to my You tube and then copy and paste the link here.

I used my Any Video Converter Ultimate and made it a .webm file. Plays nicely on this site and it let me upload it.

Man.. If the sub stage sounds good to you and you are happy with it.. Id run it till I got tired of it and enjoy it as long as I am happy with it. Upgrades are always welcome in the future.. LOL. Looks good and the install looks like its coming together and you are happy with it so far. Keep on top with it. Enjoying the pics of the install. NICE !!

I'm going to walk up the hill to the Escape and run the RCA cable and the speaker wires. Shouldn't take more than 30 min. Famous last words.

Amp is fully hooked up!! Distortion gone!! Volume level... LOUD!!

Went driving for almost an hour. Woooohooo it's loud but these cheap 2-way Skar Audio 6x8's can't hang... well, they won't for too much longer. I can tell if I run them at full tilt on the head unit for too long they will give up the ghost. at 30-35 out of 40 on the volume they are surprisingly clean. No midbass AT ALL but there are huge holes in the doors and no sound treatment of any kind.... yet. I am 100% going to run those Wavecor 6.5" midbass and some tweeters as a make shift component set when the Wavecor's are available again. Anyone know of some really good larger soft dome tweeters? Like between 1.1 and 1.5" but shallow so I can flush mount them? I'd like them to cover 3khz and up and the Wavecor's from 80hz to about 3khz. My subs are 80hz and down already.

Oh my... never mind. Found the matching tweeters!!! This will do nicely. Going to run active with my eXcelon 706s headunit. Oh my these look sexy.

Wavecor is high quality stuff. How much are you paying for them?

Parts Express shows $99 for each 6.5" and $75 for each tweeter. I am 100% ok with that. The specs are exactly what I am looking for.

I almost did the wavecor 6,5 myself. Morel has one that also looks really nice. In the end I went with CDT 6x9s, but if I don’t like them my next try is either wavecor or morel.

I’ve used wavecor in home audio stuff before and they sound really nice in a room.

I think in a well dampened and sealed door, the 6.5's should sound sweet.

I thought I had this old box tuned to like 27hz. Looks like it was more like dead on 30hz. That box hit hard.

My box slides around on the floor of the cargo area... well the floor moves around with the box on top of it. So I added to come a long straps and secured that phucker. She don't move now. There is one on each side.
