    Front stage help

    I am not going to pretend that I am very experienced in SQ but I have had good response with my RE comps, they are $110 dollars. The highs are smooth and natural but the mid bass is a ltitle muddy. Within your price range there are quite a few that may fit your bill. Here are some I would check...

    Arc FD6000 components

    Basically they are the Chip Foose set but you gotta start somewhere. I bought them used for $67 shipped and they do seem to be in all in all great condition except one thing. I looked over everything really well and on one of the mid-basses there is a 1/8 slit on the outer part of the surround...

    Budget Component ideas...

    I appreciate the response, I hadn't thought about there being an issue with the speakers and where they crossover, I should've but had not. I just won some Arc Audio 6.5 Foose components on Egay for $50 that I am going to try out as well. Just need to look for a larger amp for the doors. Should...

    Budget Component ideas...

    I know these threads get out of hand but I figured one more was not going to kill anyone. Right now I am running what I have in my sig. I like the RE comp, they are more mellow, smooth, and natural sounding, IMO. The Cliff's are more sharp, hard, and direct. With this being said, my wife would...

    Porting Hz general question

    I am currently shopping another single sub setup, probably a 15 or 18 this time, but my plan is still to stay in the 30-35 range or do sealed, just depending. I appreciate the response, I saw the video from jacob and was just curious. After I rewatched the youtube video, he does make a reference...

    Porting Hz general question

    Currently my box is ported for 35hz. I see people porting down to 20 or lower and, if I remember correctly, when Sundownz was testing the SA-8, his box was ported to like 53 or 54 hz. Is there a general rule of thumb, as in if you want lows 30 and below, daily 30-35, and for SPL comps., whatever...

    SA-8 Prototype Is Here !

    Has all of this shipment been sold? How different will the retail price be from the $119 price for pre-sale? Don't have the money right this second but I will be starting a project on the wife's car soon. Thx

    Question for people with 8's

    ^^^ the box looks great and is similar to what I had invisioned. Thanks everyone for the feedback, I have a better plan for what I am going to do. Personnaly, still liking the 4 E8's but I also started looking at the 12" SSA Icon, AQ mentioned above, DC lvl4, and IA Death Row. The Nightshade...

    Question for people with 8's

    I had thought of that but I figured with the increase in power and a better 12" I would also need to give up more space that I do not have. I was thinking that taking a Nightshade, DC, RD, AQ, Revo, FI, etc and placing it in a 2.5^3 wouldn't really do it justice. I would be spending the money on...

    Question for people with 8's

    Yeah, .75 each. I had dabba5 design the box for the Diamond and it was a tad larger then the recommended. it sounds really good, well to me. Judging by that experience, I assumed for SPL you wanted it a little larger. I mean ultimately I would like to run a DC lvl4, RD Sonance, AQ, Revo, ...

    Question for people with 8's

    So since getting my system completed about 3 mnths ago, as with many, I want more. Currently I am running a single Diamond D3 12" in 2.5^3 with 4" aeroport @ 35hz. I would like to go with anoother 12" D3 but do not really have the room. I thought about downsizing to dual 10" but then I saw Spy...

    Increasing Wattage

    When do you see an improvement in SPL from increased wattage handling? I realize that when you upgrade, it usually is not on a level playing field, meaing I do not intend to move to a D6 or D9. Right now I'm running a 12" Diamond D3 that has 350 rms @ 2ohms going to it. In the future, I want to...
