    Help a newb with going active...

    That's why I bought the 80prs... I'll go ahead and do an active 2 way and see where that puts me. Once I can use the 80prs in network mode I'll have a lot more I can play with. As far as getting away from the passive crossovers, how will I power the tweets? Will I need to buy a separate amp or...

    Help a newb with going active...

    That would be ideal. Would I be able to achieve the sound stage I'm looking for with the mids in the factory location? To be honest I'm not at all impressed with the sound stage which is why I wanted to install mids in the pillar to help bring the sound up off the floor. With the passive setup...

    What would you recommend? Should I run a crossover on one set of mids and use the HU on the other set? Or would it be wise (with my plans) to run the 3" mids with the 6.5's, basically have them tied together through the AQ120.4.

    Tuning DLS 6.5's Components. (NEWB)

    BTW West... I'm very aware of the HU. I bought this thing back before I ever thought about audio. Now that i'm in the process of building a decent setup a different HU is in the near future. I have my eye on a few and since I'm still learning what most of you have forgotten, I would like...

    Tuning DLS 6.5's Components. (NEWB)

    Oh ya... They are currently near the A pillar aiming toward the dome light. The tweeters sound great now that the passenger side is at 0db but, I could move them since they are not permanently placed yet. The mids are what I'm wanting to bring up off the floor. I'm at my dad's place helping him...

    Tuning DLS 6.5's Components. (NEWB)

    I recently installed a set of DLS X-SB62's and have about 8 hours on them. Long story short, I want a decent SQ setup without going all out. I'm a DIYer and wanting to learn so... Before installation I set my tweeters to -2db and after installation the left side was dominant so I set the...

    I'll be finishing it up today and dropping it off at the upholster. It's may not be the best quality work but I did better than I thought I would.

    Anyways,... I was hoping to get the scoop before next saturday. My local shop (creative car audio) will be having their summer sale and before I pick up what they have chosen for me I want to make sure I'm getting what I really want. I know audio doesn't end with JL and my newbiness is still...

    Budget would be knocking on the door of $1200-1500. The less I can spend the happier I'll be though.

    I'd share pics but I keep getting denied. I'm partial to the JL C2's as of right now because that's the best I've heard in person compared to other name brands in a sound booth. Brands I've been looking into, and have NOT listened to are Focal, RE, Realm, DLS, Hybrid Audio, Rainbow, most of...

    Figured I'd give a heads up. Don't burn me too hard, I'm sure I'll ask a few newby questions. Here's What I'm working on at the moment and I've came to a point where I need to learn from veterans. I'm in the process of choosing quality components. SQ is a must, I appreciate all genres of music...
