Thanks for the tips guys. Yeah, what I was thinking about, was dense foamboard from a craft store or something. But what i was also interested in, was the sound side affect of running 1.1 cu instead of .68 like they recommend. Since I am new to this stuff, I don't know if a difference of .33...

"It's fine just leave it"? As much as i appreciate it, "it's fine" doesn't realy help me or answer my question. Say what? How do you figure?

The sub I will be running in my 07 STI, will be a JL10w3v3. But the sealed box I am getting (used) is a little big. I was wondering what is the best way to reduce the internal volume of the box without adding any (or very little) weight? Can I add foam board to the insde? Wadding? Something...

bump, anybody else?

I was wondering what you guys thought of using this amp to power a 10w3v3. Whattage seems about right. What about SQ and dependability? Good enough? Pioneer GM-7200M http://www.planethi-fi.com/index.php?target=products&mode=view&product_id=1877

Are they a reputable dealer? Good experiences? Bad ones? thanks for any info. -HC

Thanks for the info Babs, I really appreciate it. The more I read, the more I search, and the more I talk to people, the more my budgest seems to be raising, and I think I am getting close. I think im going to go with that kenwood HU. Great features, claims a nice DAC, doesn't break the bank...

Well, the problem is, I don't really know what will create good SQ and what wont. I am not in the market for fancy doo-dads really, I am more or less on a budget. but if buying a reciever like this will give me questionable SQ, then no matter what the price, it will all be wasted. How about...

Ok, but why? WHAT exactly is crappy? Is the sound quality output of the deck horrible? Is it made out of tin foil? Is it missing some basic functionality? Is it going to somehow break after a week of use? I'm sorry, but "its crappy" doesn't help me any. How about some elaboration? Iv gone...

As some of you have seen, im slowly piecing together a cart list for a new system (havn't put one together in over 10 years) I have always liked the look/style of the clarion HUs. How are they these days? Dependable? Good SQ? I'm not looking for anything fancy... just something with basic...

I'm right in the middle of figuring out what pieces to use on a new system (my first in over a decade), so I am back to sqaure one. Can anybody comment on the overall performance/quality/clarity/durability of Infinity amps? I am looking at either of these at the moment: If I decide to go...

I hear that! I just helped my buddy Chris install some 5 1/4 mids and tweet seperates in the fronts of his legacy 2.5i, and we needed to build spacers (3/4 inch) to get them to clear the window. We used simple white 3/4 inch foam board from michaels. Easy to cut to shape, and does a fine job as...

Stay away from rockford subs?... hhmm... ok, tell me why

Ok, perhaps the stage2 sub? I don't really know the difference other than what it says in the specs, which only seems to be more power handling. How about the amp and the deck? THey seem good enough to do what I will need them to do? Will my older polk audio 6.5 coaxes do the job ok? anybody...

Well, my budget is "spend as little as is reasonable". Since I know im goign to have to spend a couple hundred bucks on the install, I think 400-500 bucks is what I am going to be able to spend on gear (not counting the polks; I already have those). I realize I could do better... my goal isn't...
