    Is timpano a good brand for car sono?

    I have a pair of Timpano TPT-ST2 super tweeters and they sound awesome...they are the best super tweeters I have had. I had them as part of a 2 way system with the Timpano super tweeters playing 2,500Hz and up while I have 2 pairs of PRV 8MB450 v2 playing 80Hz to 2,500Hz. I am now switching from...

    Adding more Midbass ... double 6.5" or single 8" ... ? ... Ported or Sealed ... ?

    By the way, I wanted to thank you dude. I took your advice as far as the timpano supertweeters and I have to say they are probably the best supertweeters I have heard. And then, I remember talking to you about the PRV 8MB450v2 midbasses and I have to say, I'm really impressed with how they...

    Adding more Midbass ... double 6.5" or single 8" ... ? ... Ported or Sealed ... ?

    Personally, I wouldn't waste your time with sealed enclosures with your doors. If you really want enclosures in your doors instead of IB, then go ported. However, ported enclosures are difficult to make and you really need to know the proper amount of airspace and the right tuning frequency. I'm...

    how loud is your sub compared to your mids/highs?

    My subs are way the hell louder than my front stage but that is to be expected. I'm pumping 8,000 watts to both of my DD subs but my 4 8" speakers and pair of supertweeters can't come anywhere close to the sub volume. It's one thing to hit 140db with subs but getting 140 from your front stage is...

    Dsp, a must have?

    Yes, I have a Helix DSP.3 with the bluetooth card installed and I love it. It was a day and night difference with and without the DSP unit. You don't need a DSP unit for good sound but damn it helps. There is no way in hell I would ever have a car audio system without a DSP...it made that much...

    Anyone really good in OC/LA for fiberglass door panels?

    Howdy folks. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a shop that does really good fiberglass door panels. I want to put in a pair of Crescendo Audio UN-10 10" midbass/midrange speakers in each door. Right now I have a pair of Beyma 8mc500nd speakers in each door being powered by a Crescendo...

    what do you think this would cost?

    I don't know who did the build because I found the image on Google so I could show the installers what I wanted, except for the subwoofer box. The last subwoofer box I had was made of 1" thick Baltic Birch wood build according to Digital Designs specs (2.75 cubic feet box ported somewhere...

    what do you think this would cost?

    Oh yeah!!! I used to have a Mechman 240A alternator, and it lasted over 3 years, but I've contacted Singer alternators to see if he can make me a 320 A alternator. I'll have a high output alternator, I have the XS D3100 battery just for the system (for my car I have an Optima yellow top), and I...

    what do you think this would cost?

    Yeah, you're right. Even though I'm only talking about the amp display in the spare tire, you are right. I know the box is a whole different thing, and I'm imagining the building of the amp display as well as the wiring of all that will be much more than $1000. I'm just trying to get a ballpark...

    what do you think this would cost?

    Cool. Thanks for the response. I can afford $1000, I was afraid it would be something like $5000 or something insane like that. At least it gives me an idea of the ball park I'm looking at. Once again, thanks for your input. Javier

    Need some help with my enclosure for my DD subs

    Unfortunately, I can't. I have to work and I won't be done until 8 pm. I couldn't get anyone to cover my shift so I'll have to wait until the next show.
