My first bass was an Ibanez GSR-200, and I loved it. It has really good action, and sounds great. I recommend it all the way. They run around $200, but they have a step down model for $170 or so. My recommendation is to go to a music store and play a bunch of the basses. Every bass is different...

So I plan on eventually getting 2 ID12's, and I am going to build my own box. I know everyone asks if they should go sealed or ported, but my question is this. A perfectly sealed box has a resonant frequency of 0, which offers the flattest frequency curve right? And a Ported box tuned very high...

Oh alright. So i suppose if I pick the EF speakers, or the ES speakers, they'll both sound fine? $300 for those speakers seems like a really good deal. I might go for that. I guess there isn't much difference in the cone types, or else somebody probably would have commented on that.

Yea, I've even heard that the CL line isn't even made by CDT, they just threw the CDT badge on it. It seems like that would be a horrible move for a company with a respectable high end line, but what do I know? I was just curious what the different cones would sound like. Which type of cones do...

I asked this question in a different forum, and got no answers, so maybe you guys can help. As far as I know, there are 3 different styles of EF-61 Components. Regular cones, Fiberglass cones, and Carbon Fiber cones. Other than a couple watts different power handling, what are the differences...

Thank you very much for all the help. I think i will just run a passive set up. It seems like that will work just fine. (it is after all, my first stystem.) If I were to peice together a custom component set, would I just have to pick out a midbass, passive crossover, and tweeters? How hard...

What sort of active processing are you talking about? The only item that I'm familiar with being active/passive is the crossover. What else comes with the decision to go active? I bought a 9883, but took it back to get the 9884, but I haven't bought the 9884 yet. Do any alpine head units support...

So I am just taking the first steps on upgrading the system in my car. I started with some relatively cheap Polk coaxials in the rear, then an Alpine-9884 and my next step is to replace the front speakers. I'm really going more for SQ than SQL, but I want to be able to hear them when I...
