    Is it OK to have 2 different component sets in front?

    It's only ok if you run two subs of different size & brand in different enclosures along with it.

    home made book shelf speakers.

    yeah, car audio speakers wouldn't be the best for home audio.

    New to Car Audio - basic questions - new to forum!!

    The sub you emailed me about works. I'll give you my box for $20 if you want it. I bought it for lots more but I owe you for the help.. haha. I also might change amps in my car for my front speakers.. depending on how my tuning goes. That might open up my Rockford Fosgate amp, which is...

    Soobie power! I'll see you a nice 4 channel pioneer amp I have. I'll let it go for cheap, since you're a fellow soobie guy and well.. you're a friend =P As for the rest of your system, the HU should be a low-end Alpine. Even at low end, they provide much better functionality and features than...

    CD vs MP3 sound quality

    I generally find nothing sounds best than an original cd in my car. Then again, I have more SQ-oriented equipment that can take advantage of good recordings. There is no question.. Mp3's sound worse than CD's, but i can carry 9,000 in my ipod. It's a tradeoff.

    need to squeze 1-2 more db's outta this setup

    try adjusting the amp with a dmm. Maybe, just maybe, he set the gains lower than he should have (the opposite is true most of the time). Your question begs another question though... why? Do you honestly think you'd be happier with 1 more measely db? is it some sort of psychological thing for you?

    60 watts RMS enough?

    Sure. 60 watts is just fine for most interior speakers.

    component: Kicker RS ($400) v. Polk dB ($200)?

    You generally get what you pay for in car audio. My Type-X comps specify no more than 75 watts each, yet will sound better than either one of those comps you listed above... and retail for a bit more than those kickers you listed.

    IDMAX On Backorder

    I have a 26v2. I love it. I have only 1 in a good vented enclosure with only 400 watts. When I need it to, it'll make my eardrums vibrate & make the car uncomfortable, but it's also very good for SQ. Very very good.

    My tweeters stop working when Pushed Hard...Ideas?

    my boston acoustics speakers did that on certain songs. It was kinda annoying, but I ultimately apreciated that they were protected

    how much better will sound be with 5V preamps compared to 2V?

    no sq change. Higher voltage just means you'll have to turn your gain down... and possibly avoid noise. That's.. pretty much it. this might be my faulty memory, but my jvc head unit (1 pre-amp output, 2v) with its output split into 3 outputs by rca splitters going to 2 amps produced an...
