I know, you've heard this question 1000 times. I personally love/prefer the JBL W10GTi subs but they are too big for my new application. I'm looking for a set of 10" subs that work well in a small, sealed box. I listen to metal/rock so need quick, tight, accurate bass over boomy bass. The...

Which amp would you recommend as your sub amp between the two....and why. Zapco ST-1650XM II JL Audio HD750/1 Thanks!

Yes, brain fart on my end there. For a front channel bi-amp setup, I'd use a 4 channel amp for the front. Two channels for the 6x9 midwoofs and two for the mid/tweet combo with a passive xover between the mid/tweet. I'd lose the ability to tweak the mid/tweet interface but would assume the...

If I'm going down this road and plan to utilize all of the current door/a-pillar locations for components, I want to bi-amp the front comps. How do you bi-amp a three way component set? I'd prefer to use active crossovers rather than passive which would be easy to do with a two way comp set...

You nailed it. It looks like step one is using the FiX 86 to "clean" up the Bose signals coming from the front channel high/mid/low as well as the stock sub and then feed the cleaned up signals to a DSP. The DM-810 can't do it on its own and as you said, the MS-8 is not in consideration. JBL...

I know nothing about CDT products so I'd have to do some digging to research them. I'm familiar with Image Dynamics, JL Audio and JBL GTi series so am curious as to how the CDT products compare. Can you tell me the Fs for the 6x9 and the 2.5" mid?

Thank you for your response!! Installing around the Bose system IS the challenge thanks to the necessity that I keep the stock Cadillac CUE head unit. I'm with you there! Step one is reining in all of the Bose time alignment, frequency differentials, etc. going to the various speaker...

I have a 2016 Cadillac ATS-V Coupe with the 12 speaker Bose system. The Caddy's Bose system is not working for me since I'm used to the JBL system comprised of c608GTi comps in the front powered by a PX600.2 and two W10GTi subs powered by a BPX 1100.2 that is installed in my Acura 3.2 TL-S...

The P710BT is installed and my opinion is lukewarm at best. Whatever person at Pioneer dreamed up that "joystick" to control the system did so while sitting in a cubicle rather than trying to tweak the system while driving. Horrible, horrible idea. Works perfectly when you're stopped and have...

To be fair, I didn't say the Pioneer "blew away" the Kenwood. I merely stated that the specs on paper for the two units indicated the Pioneer would be a better fit for MY situation. If you would like to quote me, please do so. Please don't put words in my mouth. I have owned two previous...

The deal/research is done. The Pioneer DEH-710BT is on it's way. I was tempted to opt for the DEH-P800PRS but couldn't justify the cost for how I'll be using it. The Alpine HU and changer will go to a college kid who will most certainly appreciate their capabilities...since they will be free...

Then you read the opinions of those that own it and realize it's a POS that doesn't seem to work as advertised. Go figure. I'm not looking to traverse new territory and patch up a system. As far as I'm concerned, Alpine left it's base when they decided we needed to purchase a separate unit...

Funny you should say that. I've noticed that the new Alpine gear doesn't have anywhere near the features of the 9833 when comparing based on cost. What's the deal with the new HUs? Yes, I want USB badly enough to do the upgrade. I wish there was a way to just add a USB adapter of some type...

This is my first post to the forum so be gentle with me. I don't mean to step on toes or come off as someone who seems like a lazy *** who doesn't know about the search feature. Please read and respond if you're knowledgeable and can help me out. Here is the quick rundown of my current...
