It's pretty hilarious to claim this was a simple typo: What the **** did you intend to type? Lets look at keys in proximity to "i". Tell me, can you tell if o used one in this install that has 73 best of show awards? Tell me, can you tell if u used one in this install that has 73 best of show...

Seriously, if you ever have the opportunity, try out an IB setup or try using a sealed sub with either a linkwitz transform or EQ set to mimic a linkwitz transform. They'll both change the way you think about extremely low bass. The linkwitz transform requires a ton of power and a subwoofer...

I use it even with kick panels. Path lengths to my head are still different (though better than in the doors) so there still needs to be a little correction.

If you like sealed think about infinite baffle if possible. No box, just a baffle and you can use far less power to achieve similar output levels. I was amazed at how low my w12gtis got once I went IB. Sealed can be great if you have enough power on tap and understand how to use eq to ramp up...

WTF? Read my posts. I offered the guy help in every single one, in fact it was the same advice you gave him in your last post after you stopped bickering about whether the RSDs are good comps (I don't care if they are or not). I told him how to start isolating the problem. I told him not to...

Are you ****ing kidding me? If they are blown they are blown. Hooking them up without a crossover won't suddenly make them work. If they are okay now, hooking them up without a crossover will damage them. The only thing you can do by removing the crossover is **** up tweeters that aren't...

BAD IDEA Don't do that unless you have another way to manage the crossover frequencies. If you hook them up without any high pass filter on the tweeters you will ruin them. Tweeters do not like low frequencies.

I've used second skin and raammat, both are effective products. Raammat has a slightly thinner foil layer than second skin damplifer. Wear gloves. The foil layer can cut the shit out of your hands, especially on the second skin since it is more stiff.

Hook up an ipod as the input to your amp. Don't go through the head unit. Just use a 1/8th to RCA cable and use the headphone output on the ipod. Start at zero volume and move the volume up. If it sounds fine you know you've got a problem ahead of the amp, in either the head unit or the...

x2 Who cares if there is distortion or not, it sounds like shit. Tonality is totally wrong. Toasted1 - You can either tune by ear or use an RTA. I try to only make cuts when tuning and avoid boosting frequencies by more than a db or two. If you are tuning by ear here's a guide: or this...

Almost all have been covered here unless you want to start talking about rare units like the Panasonic with tubes. Go buy the alpine combo.

Some of the Naks have had reported reliability issues. I can't speak to it personally but it might be worth searching. Check here and over on DIYMA and ECA.

Got it, thanks. My OEM battery location is the trunk so it was only natural to have short runs in my car.
