    Need your help deciding: 3sixty or alpine 701

    I would go for the 701 in your position as well. I am using a 3sixty.2 right now with the OEM integration (wanted to retain the stock look). It's a great processor, eq, x-over... but does have it's limitations. First thing I like about the 701 is the true 5.1 surround capabilities (the 3sixty...

    My Sound Deadener Reflection (Second SKin, Blood/Sweat and Tears) 50 hours later. . .

    Keep in mind that a lot of (most?) road noise comes through the windows and at window-seals where fast moving air meets turbulent parts of the car. Not much you can do about that. Glass isn't the best insulator for that. I noticed a little quieter ride from doing the wheel wells, but really...

    Rainbow Germaniums

    First (and most obviously) make sure that you don't have the amp high crossed. Second - there is definitely some break-in time on the comps, but I will admit that I did notice some midbass right up front. I am guessing that if it's in a small sealed box, you are just seeing too much acoustic...

    Rainbow Germaniums

    I just posted some info in this germ thread over in the amp section. Like I mentioned there, I am getting some great midbass (kicks are awesome) with a mostly sealed door. I would think that being basically an IB setup, the more volume the woofer are in the better. Also, go for 150+ watts, as...

    amp for germs

    I got a set of these from Premier-Audio recently and love them (Aaron was awesome to deal with). Still working on getting the front stage tuned how I like it, but it's a MAJOR improvement to what I had already. I am running a Zed Draconia with the Burr Brown to mine right now (280w per chan...

    DO NOT go to CIA Engineering for amp repair

    Just had a couple amps sent over the audiotekx. One with a blown cap, and one that apparently didn't even need to go to begin with. Pricing was better than anywhere I looked, and the turn around time was a couple days. Not to mention, killer communication. Jason is the man, would highly...

    he plays guitar

    A cabinet is pretty easy to make, and great speakers can be had. Some of the best reasonable priced speakers known for amazing professional sound are Celestions. They are the most used speaker in guitar cabinets among professional musicians, and they make most of the speakers for many of the...

    Need some pro help -12" Fi Q enclosure w/pics and info -

    Yea, I am thinking that is what I may try. Perhaps use a double baffle in the front, but with the sub mounted to the second baffle so the speaker sits almost flush to the face of the box.

    Need some pro help -12" Fi Q enclosure w/pics and info -

    Thanks for the replies so far guys. Another thing to keep in mind - I don't want to make any permanent changes to the car ala cutting holes in the rear deck, or rear-seat wall. It was late as hell last night, so forgot to mention a couple things. One other issue I can think if is that the...

    Need some pro help -12" Fi Q enclosure w/pics and info -

    Hey all, Been a month or so since I first posted looking for some help. I got some good info from here and some other boards, and bought a sub for my is300. I ended up getting a new amp as well, as the one I had wasn't ideally suited to my woofer needs. In any event, I have been playing a...

    Little help finding a good valued SQ/SQL type 10-12" for this box size -

    Thanks for the responses so far guys, any chance someone could tell me if I should go for 1 or 2 aeroports or just stick with sealed? If ported, what should I tune to for good clear bass reproduction of electic bass guitar freq's? I was thinking 35-38ish. Where can I find DLS subs? Also...

    Little help finding a good valued SQ/SQL type 10-12" for this box size -

    Title says most of what my goals are - and yes, I know there is no real such thing as SQL, but I am looking for something that has a little punch to it, but is very, very clean and accurate - a cross between sq and spl, leaning toward sq. Brief backround - was into car audio in the mid to late...
