Ok Blacks it is thx

Got a new car, selling old setup and getting something different. Old = IDMAX and Hertz MLK 165. Great setup, I'm just so used to it and crave a new sound. Amp is Audison LRX 5.1k. I'm going with the Arc Audio Black 12" for the sub. For components, I want something that doesn't sound as tinny...

Thought I should update this thread... After only driving the Accord around for a couple weeks, I decided to drive the car with the MLK 165's around for a couple days. I couldn't believe how awesome they sounded again lol. If I had to use one word to describe the difference, it would be...

Got my new car, been listening to the stock sound system for the last couple days. This is going to sound absolutely crazy, but I think I like the sound of the Accord more than the MLK 165's. The highs are ridiculously smooth, I played several songs pretty loud that would normally give me the...

Been busy this week with school, have a bunch of free time right now but no camera to take pics. Still tossing around the idea of getting different speakers. I have however been listening to music this week with my subwoofer off, and I must say the Hertz MLK do put out pretty nice bass...

I'll try to post some pics of my current setup tomorrow-ish. My crossovers aren't in my car anymore, not sure how to install them back in, would have to have installer do that, maybe I'll try in the new car. I want to take my door panel off and see how it's looking underneath, but I've never...

1. I didn't think the Audison LRX 5.1k could be bridged? 2. I'll have to recheck the doors, I feel like when they were first installed the midbass was much nicer, maybe the deadening has peeled off in places (due to heat), because I do hear some rattlings/resonance now. I Also will try adding...

Thanks everyone for the awesome advice. I went through the thread in your link, and wow. Is the reason the owner is using the MLK crossovers because he wanted to power the rears on the same amp? The only deadening I have done in my car is the trunk and 2 front doors. My whole car rattles, it...

You're right, it is 7, I should probably start getting more sleep. I've been foruming way to much lately. This is only part of it, you'd think I was crazy if I told you how long I've been on avsforums and Amazon reading reviews etc, in my quest to find the perfect TV for me. Just returned a LG...

AFAIK my deck only has 5 bands of EQ, unless I'm having a quarter-age moment. Haha, no worries

Haha you silly guys made me think I was going crazy for a sec. I knew I posted this in the opening post, but had to double check after your replies. (You did read my opening post right?) :P "I used to run them passive, but ever since going active on my Audison LRX 5.1k, they just sound a little...

Can't remember off hand, I'll have to check and post later. They are the previous model (not the new ones that came out this year). It might also just be my car that I've growing to dislike lol. It's old and even though it has a ton of deadening, I'm sure a new car one would have better interior...

I don't need radio, HD radio, apps, streaming, blue tooth, CD player, or anything of that nature. My one source of music is my 160GB iPod. 90% lossless files. I do want the best DAC's, EQ's, and SQ. Running active with Audison LRX 5.1k Currently using Pioneer DEH-5100UB, this let's me...

I think it's not the highs that kind of give me the onset of a headache, but the midrange. On my EQ, lowering the 2k band and 5k band make the most improvement. The next band is 12.5k and it sounds fine at 'even' or even +1. I don't know what I want to do. I kind of have the upgrade bug, or...

Good to know about RHCP, ill have to get the remasters. That said, when I get the new car, everything is going to be swapped out anyways out of my current ride, and I always enjoy getting new 'toys' lol. I guess I could try the large chambers first, do you think it would be tough to find...
