I have 2 Ref4.400's on the way, thanks though, they are on the cheaper side but from what I have read they should perform nicely, and they are rated at more power than I need so even if they need exactly 14.4v to do rated, it shouldn't be a problem, and I got them pretty darn cheap shipped to...

I will PM you when I am ready, I am planning this out a little farther then I intended, I plan on getting my front stage installed before I order the subwoofer. I am slowly getting this system put together but I'll get there eventually lol. I have the speakers & ms-8, the soundstream amps...

That JBL sounds like a nice driver also but it is pretty big. I think at this point I am leaning towards the ID Max, it's 10lbs lighter than the GTI (shipping to AK is $$$) and has much more output than the IDQ.

JL is nice, no one will argue that, but I'm one of those weirdoes that likes to run something that not every other person has (up here in AK at least) lol. I guess I need a little perspective, that TC3000 I had was a beast, what is the output of it compared to a IDQ & IDMAX? Basically I...

Hey guys, I am looking for an SQ sub that will compliment my front soundstage. I will be building a sealed enclosure and have UP TO 2ft^3 to work with. My focus is SQ over SPL but I do want to be able to turn her up every now and then. I have been reading allot about the IDQ and ID MAX, my...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I am going to go with 2 Soundstream Ref4.400 for the fronts, and a different SS Reference for the sub after I figure out what driver I will be using.

Bump, any more suggestions?

That looks like a very nice amp, and I would be able to power a sub off of it when I get it, however with an MSRP of $1200, it's completely out of my budget, any idea what these actually go for? If I could get an all in one amp and not have to purchase a separate amp for my sub, I could probably...

I'm looking for an amp, or a couple amps to power a 3 way active front stage. I already have an MS-8 for the processing so cross-overs won't matter. Speakers: Peerless SLS 6.5" (would like 150-200w) Dayton RS100 4" ( Seas Prestige 27TFFNC/G's (I think I will try to power these off the MS-8...

If you decide to get that rex, the first thing I would do is get rid of the BOV and replace it with the stock BPV. The BOV might sound cool but it is robbing performance and damaging your cats. The moter is expecting there to be lots of air, so it injects more fuel, but since the pressure was...

:*******:

Crappy stock all seasons on my stock rims. Next year I will be getting some nicer summer tires and rims.

Thanks for the compliments. Yeah a catless DP + tune is stage 2, also the 05's and prior have a catted up-pipe, so if you get a catless up-pipe, catless down pipe, and a tune you'll be at a full stage 2.

Hence the rumor that suby's have weak trannies, they are not weak at all, but they will break if you abuse them. The only people that break them are the ones that go to the track and sidestep the clutch

I have 2006 WRX, it is now at Stage 2 with about ~290bhp. If you are trying to go super fast in a line, or do any thing from a roll, you won't be too happy. But if launched properly (remember it is AWD so no dropping the clutch unless you want to break something) or in the twisties, there is...
