    Head Unit with DSP Features - Acura TL

    you are better off going with a decent headunit with an external dsp.  the dayton 408 dsp is really great for the money.  a basic alpine or kenwood headunit paired with a $150 dayton dsp is going to be a much more loaded setup than any headunit you could buy.

    Decent budget speakers.

    I did not try to warranty them. I read where someone else who had the problem did get theirs replaced by JBL. I wasn't that impressed with them anyway, so I replaced them with something different.

    Decent budget speakers.

    I would not recommend the JBL P660c speakers. If you search around, there have been several people that have had surround failures with these speakers. The surrounds are stiff on the edges of the set I bought and they failed within a few months.

    i've had a set of those, the 5.25 pl's, and 5.25 vifa p13's. all the pl series drivers i have had had a very mellow, somewhat dark midrange. that is not a bad thing....they are very pleasing sounding drivers. i really liked all the pl stuff i have had. in my vehicle, the smaller pl's had a...

    eD vs. profile

    in a way, i agree, but at what expense? as we have already seen, the bad ends up making its way to the other forums, the good does not.

    eD vs. profile

    a year ago, every forum i am a member of had a half a dozen eD related questions active at all times, tons of hype about the products, leading to members and lurkers buying. now i rarely see the name mentioned. from what i have seen, ben has moved away into his own little eD forum that he...

    list some midbass drivers you know of

    if you can find a set of Vifa M18WN19-04's, they are one of the better midbass units i have used for an IB install. if i were going to buy a new set that i hadn't used, i would get the new Alpine spx-17mb's. they look pretty impressive, but are a little more expensive than a set of raw...

    Amp Guts Pictures

    why do you say that? because of the specs? i've used many arc and clarion amps in conjunction with the eclipse 37610 16v balanced adaptor. i have had no problems, nor have the others i know running 4+ volt preouts to them.
