Your mom got ripped off.

Mostly done with my newest installation. Automotive Concepts did the a-pillars and doors. Mobile Essences did most everything else. I was the good idea fairy, selected the equipment, and paid the bills. Here is the sub box and beauty panels. 2 13.5" JL Audio 13W3V3 subs in a big ported...

U You're right, the woofers would still be working... awfully. "Whatever JL meant" is right. Why is there so much ambiguity regarding the recommended/allowed power? Just give us a straight answer: 150 watts RMS using a 50Hz sine wave at 0dB level with a LR band pass filter between 80-400hz...

I overlooked this post earlier. Like I said, I had just gotten the car back after a week. I just got new a-pillars installed with new 4", tweeters, and door panels with the 8"s. I was excited to take it home and tune it, which I did... Over and over. Never could get the 8's to sound great...

Me too, but we are way more sensitive in midrange. I'm running -12dB input from DSP to my amps and have run -18 without a whole lot of perceived difference (for midrange channels only).

Dream of me. Just don't touch yourself.

Your pathetic membrane just seems unnecessary. Not sure what you are saying about DC. I mean, AC technically is DC with varying voltages and frequencies... But then it really isn't DC but AC. Dude I work on radar and missile guidance systems I don't think you are going to school me on...

Well that clears it up. Kinda relative tho isn't it? Milliseconds? The time of one bass beat? 5 minutes? The entire human history? All can be relatively described as short or momentary.

Unless you are trying to tell me my "Dynamat Wall" is acting as a a periodic membrane, which it is not, I don't see the relevance. What is going to happen is I'm going to make the shop rip the Dynamat Wall out (or, repurpose into appropriate areas inside the door like it's supposed to be)...

What's momentary? I'm not running DC through these. It also says "if played above 50Hz" and I'm crossed over at 80hz... But there is still confusion: no frequency below 50Hz? What crossover slope are we talking about here??? JL Audio is not very precise with the power ratings and crossover...

So you have nothing to offer except jealousy and resentment? Go to bed. Christ, it's like I paid for a high performance transmission but the shop filled it with water. I notice it isn't running right and blip the throttle and it grenades. Then I'm blamed. Uh...

The flimsy reverberating false wall of Dynamat and resulting lack of air space (the installation!) is why the 8's sound bad; the speakers themselves are great and will be once the Dynamat wall is removed. Plus I have fiberglass door panels cut and built specifically for these ZR-800 speakers.

You have offered no actual advice except: 1. Repeating me when I said there is no best speaker 2. Saying your speakers are better 3. Saying I should have installed it myself Not sure if you specifically mentioned this whole thing is my fault and the crappy install by the money taking...

Roger that, and this is exactly what I initially expected: a professional expert and custom installation.

Why? I'm sure these 8's will be great once installed correctly.
