    2 pairs of front tweeters?

    Hate to say it, but if you want loud but sounds good, not just 'screaming loud', you're going to need a budget higher than a set of CMX kicks. Don't get me wrong, the CMX kicks set is a good set...it's just not designed around extreme volumes. Lots of people will thumb their noses at paying...

    2 pairs of front tweeters?

    What's your current configuration? Generally, adding more drivers is a bad idea if you are looking for quality of sound rather than simply 'loud'. Cancellation & phase issues can really cause havoc with your setup, especially if you don't have a ton of active channels for all of the...

    hurry up and bring FLAC to car stereo everyone needs to help out

    Just saying...my empeg is still playing flacs with a 500gb hd in it and on-the-fly playlist building and searching...runs a linux kernel and has a web server. Can accomodate 2 laptop harddrives. Works just like a head unit, without a cd player. Only downside is it doesn't have a dedicated sub...

    What can handle this power????

    rainbow power line cs's are 200+w woofers. I've got my 4150 bridged to ~340w per woofer to mine. Expensive tho. On the cheap i'd say go with some boston accoustics.

    Does anything beat CDT?

    Actually, haunz & jimJ were the only people who were being truthful with you. With the amount of effort you are putting into your install, it's not worth bothering paying for good hardware. If you read some about car audio and comprehended it you'd realise that the hardware is considerably...

    hurry up and bring FLAC to car stereo everyone needs to help out

    192 vs. 320 is certainly audible with the right content on the right stereo. Remember, if you're listening to music without much content in the first place, 192k might be all you need to reproduce it correctly. Listening to music with a large amount of audio information across the entire...

    hurry up and bring FLAC to car stereo everyone needs to help out

    Riocar empeg ftw. I've got 500gb of flac/mp3 mixed tracks available in my car and have for years. Pity the empeg was so far ahead of it's time.

    Rainbow Component Sets

    Honestly, unless you have a keen understanding of audio, a lot of time and skills for installation, and some good equipment not only for amps/HU but also for measurement of freq response so you can really tweak your EQ's and x-over points, i'd go with a 2 way passive setup. A good passive...

    Any way to make invidual posts use less space?

    Before the update, I could see about 4 times as many posts on the screen at once; since the update every post takes 5 rows to display with a big ass icon and multiple rows showing information that could have been on one row in separate columns...then some extra space for some shitty gradient...

    search not working

    Just checked, still hosed. For example, searching for 'Vanadium' finds absolutely no results....though I know I made a thread about my vanadiums and mentioned them in several others. Some stuff for SOME terms is showing up - even as far back as 2003...but it's busted with others, and the...
