    Phase link Modules in Alpine SPX-17PRO?

    I have the SPX-17PRO installed in my car, and I seem to understand how to use the phase link modules supplied with it. But I want to understand what exactly these modules do. Do i really need to play around with these modules or should I just keep the stock module on, and adjust the TA from...

    Perception of Bass increases on opening the doors! Am i crazy?

    one more quick question. My car is a sedan with a 400 litre boot, and the subwoofer (in the boot) is getting the better part of 1200 W of RMS power. Is it recommended that I make an air vent for the sub (hole in the parcel shelf to let the air into the cabin) Will this change things? I feel a...

    Perception of Bass increases on opening the doors! Am i crazy?

    I just installed a system in my new car, and believe it or not, but I feel the lack of bass at higher gains (Eclipse 7200 on a DPX11551 paired with a W12Gti!). But as soon as I open the door/window, i feel the bass to be hitting louder and harder. What EXACTLY is wrong with the install (or me? )

    Wanted: AWESOME SQ Component set for <$350 to go PASSIVE.

    Zeroed down to 2 viable options. The Alpine SPX-17PRO and the Dynaudio System 220. Here's my next salvo of questions: 1. Dynaudio Midbasses are spoken about, all over the world, for their exceptional performance. Is having a 5.25 inch Dyn midbass a SERIOUS drawback as compared to the Alpine...

    Most definitely will. The PRS is regarded as one of the best sets in the price range. I am now bent towards the 17PROs. Unless someone makes a good offer for a BNIB set of SR6500s

    how are the cxs and rainbow tweeters? The selling point for the alpines 17pros. What's the best part about the ids? can someone tell me more about them

    I meant the crossover of the PRS720 is the weaker link. If active, the mids can take a whole lot of power and the tweets come into their own.

    Any more ideas? The prs doesn't work wonders in passive mode, and I was looking at something better. Like the alpine x17pro. I have fged the doors and damped the living daylights out of them. Thanks for the tip though. Ummm No.. Ill pass. Thanks for the offer!

    Dilemma: One IDQ15V2D4 or Two IDQ12D4v2's?

    Finally bought the JBL W12GTi. Fell in love with the sub at first listen. Bought it authorized. I guess that's the sub stage! ALSO, upgraded the amplifier to a Clarion DPX11551. Since the sub would be happy with about 1200-1300 W of RMS power

    Wanted: AWESOME SQ Component set for <$350 to go PASSIVE.

    I wanted a good component set for my front stage. I will not be running active for quite some time. My present equipment is in my signature, if you need to look at it before suggesting. I intend to give 120W RMS to each side, and wish to mount the components in the stock location of my car...

    JBL W12GTI queries

    I plan to get a W12GTI for my Sedan with a boot of 430 litres and I plan to power it with my Genesis P1 Mono that does 550W @ 2 ohms. How much power would the Genesis be giving the W12 @ 3ohms?? Also, what would be the recommendation for the enclosure? Sealed or Ported? If sealed, should I...

    Dilemma: One IDQ15V2D4 or Two IDQ12D4v2's?

    I plan to buy the IDQ15V2.D4 for my car and install it in the boot of my sedan. I will be giving it about 550 W of RMS power from Genesis Profile Sub monoblock and place it in a sealed enclosure of about 1.5 - 1.75 cu. ft. From what I have heard, IDQ's are known to be very musical, and are...
