Around what freq would I notice localization? I was listening to my system last night after some tweeking and it is a pretty balanced setup after all. I adjusted the Seas down to 120hz and bumped the EQs in the 100Hz range it sounds a lil better now. It was so loud I actually got Ill from the...

I decided I'm still getting some 8s. I need DVC-4 ohm or SVC-8 ohm subs @300w RMS.

ok, thanks. maybe I need some baffling or move those x-overs out of the way

So you guys actually think some 100w (I admit very HQ) 6.5 mids will keep up with a pair of 1000w subs? My prob is mainly SPL.... and I dont want to detune my subs. The Lotus sound fine until I crank the system near max, and even then, they still sound fine above 150hz

Thanks for the info I will check out the MW172... Ha... Tweeter wont be touching my car for any additional work. Once burned, They only got my business in the first place because they underquoted the job and timeframe, and basically nobody else wanted to install parts I bought from internet...

Anyway, I just want to know which 8 will hit the hardest & cleanest between 80/150hz using 100-150 watts, while fitting less than 6" deep to be safe.

I did the box and HU but they installed the comps, amps, rack, wiring, and sound damping... so if anything they put in blows up or comes loose they will fix it for free. I've already set my HU xovers and it fixed the SQ So now I just need to fill in the weak area. Eventually I might get the...

I tried that already. All I ended up with is a few bux off the labor charge. And if I go somewhere else it voids the warranty. What would be a correct install? pods? I guess they couldnt find any better place for the x-over, since it is a sportscar there's not so much room. Heres a couple basic...

I had them installed at Tweeter. They built a custom mdf panel but I think the OEM baffle is behind there. I also gave them a door speaker kit from secondskin (round rubber mat). and trusted them to install the Damplifier correctly. I never had it apart as to not void the warranty. But the...

I need some 8s to add responsive kick to the 80-150hz range for my 3000GT. I want to make a couple of small (1cube) ported glass enclosures in place of the rear 6x9 spots. They will be fairly shallow enclosures, 5-7" deep. Right now my system is... Alpine IVA-d300 head unit Alpine MRV-F545...

Good point I did not mention yes I am using a sealed box. So are you suggesting I stick with the MK III's if my only choice is to do an exchange with this guy for BM's? The brahmas were cheap at $450 for the pair but now I am extremely worried about the reliability issue. I tried to google...

You mean Stereo Integrity BM? That's what I wanted to know.. are they better than a MK III brahma? I am looking for reliability and quality sound + SPL >price

The SI MAg only comes in 12 and 15. I need 2 10's that are less than 7" deep.

Yeah I called that place before, as well as a place in NYC. Same story You CANT get them and they have NO INFO on when they will be available IF EVER... then they go into a speech about Adire being impossible to contact.

From everything I have researched, and I have been reading A LOT...The mk IV is not out yet and their release date is indefinate. Adire has gotten real shady since last year. They don't even repair subs anymore and they don't answer emails or return calls.
