    Upgrading my not so old system for better quality.

    Thank you. Just about everything I did on my build is in my build log. I'm always happy to answer questions. I think the key is just having a good dsp and being patient.

    Upgrading my not so old system for better quality.

    You asked for me to keep you posted if I was able to get things to sound nice using the factory dash location for the 3's. Here are my results from this past weekend, the locations seem to be working out.

    Time for an update on my new pillars. I worked about two or three hours for three days on them and got them ready to cover. I ordered four way stretch vinyl to do the job. Unfortunately, I received zero stretch. I decided to try anyway. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. To make it...

    I haven't tried the tweeters yet but the 6's and 2's are awesome. I'm not smart enough to say why they are better, they just sound better. The midbass is awesome. A lot of people run tweeterless using the 2" but I'm not going that far, I like having tweeters.

    Thank you. My wife actually asked me this morning what the plan is for trophies. I'm not sure what the correct answer is, however I am now positive that "we could convert one of your shoe rooms into a trophy room" is not it.

    This past weekend I went down to Knoxville, TN for a MECA show. I had a great time and had some pretty good results. Tied for SQL Best of Show, awarded to Charles Haley since he beat me in install and SQ. I only beat him in RTA. Considering he was last years bobos winner at finals I"m very...

    Well I had a pretty exciting weekend. It started off on Friday with ankle surgery. Then on Saturday I got bored and made a few stickers. Then on Sunday I got really bored of being on the couch so I headed to Columbus for a competition. I probably shouldn't have gone but I'm glad I did...

    I'll let you know. I have to build new pillars first though. Until then I'll be using the PPI tweeters.

    They really are that nice. Ed Rice used them last year to win the IASCA triple crown. I'm sorry but I really don't have any tricks. I'm still new to this and learning as I go. Up until three or four months ago I was still using a single 12 in a pre-built box.
