    8" subs in doors??? good idea or not

    Subwoofers usually have a low Q (below .5) and big mounting depths... The former will cause output issues (quick roll off) and overall poor response IB in doors, the latter is obvious... I suggest spending that money on a quality 8 inch midbass...of course you would have to go three way unless...

    Update on my chip amp project now called "ST120R"

    Who needs 200-300? You can "snake" one in for under 100 dollars easily by making your own chassis out of scrap parts and finding some good deals....

    Circuit City Quoted me $60.. should I try myself?

    Ground is the first to come off, and last to put on...

    8 ohm tweets and 4ohm crossover

    Going active can cost about the same as going passive if you already have a 4 channel laying around... Coustic XM6 for ~50 bucks, you can't really go wrong...

    Mini Photo shoot, Location: SLO

    Its called modifying a car, they are not made for RWD vehicles as the offset is way too high (+35), wide wheels comes with sacrifices, I noticed absolutely no decrease in performance or comfort, other than running 40 series tires, when putting wide wheels on my 240...I do agree with increased...

    Suggestions for next setup...

    I have, no replies yet, also at maxima.org, but again no worth while replies... Mostly people like the above with reading comprehension issues....just to reiterate, I am not going 2 way active in the traditional sense, and I don't have the budget for a true 3 way active setup...

    Suggestions for next setup...

    Ummm, did you read my post? I am not going with the traditional 2/3 way setups, I am not a beginner here despite my post count... Ran components, boring with passive crossovers, did 2 way active, couldn't get my sound stage off the ground without external processing...Edit: Mids were in doors...

    Suggestions for next setup...

    I haven't had anything in my car for a while, so I am looking to to do something VERY simple for the 4th gen Nissan maxima. Of course simple shouldn't promote bad sound, so I am looking for suggestions from experienced gurus... This time I am going to run dedicated midbass, just not sure how to...

    Ever consider phase plugs? Now would be a good time Just some cone surgery and a wooden dowel finished with lacquer... To answer your question, if you can find a way to heat up the air under the dust cap, that may push the dust cap out... but I have no idea how...
