i'm not disagreeing with you, just pointing out that those that do care wouldn't let someone walk out the door with something that they weren't happy with. i wasn't accusing you of putting a bad name on shops at all. believe me, there are several in our area who have either gone out of business...

this is 100% untrue of shops who care about customer service and building things right. there would be no way my boyfriend and his business partner would turn out something that didn't make their customer 150% satisfied, that wasn't built well, and as a side note, simple installs and their...

yes, and perhaps use silicon to seal it, as said above. i just don't ever recommend using terminal cups in installs. instead, drill a small hole, run your wiring and seal with silicon. it keeps the enclosure air tight. but you don't have a choice really with this one.

i could be wrong, but i think it's one of two options. either they were all custom painted (which is not my first guess) or they were hydroprinted. hydroprinting, in case you don't know, is usually the transfer of a film via water pressure. you can pick out whichever pattern you want and have it...

not trying to be a douche about this, so please don't take offense, but this is why terminal cups are not a good idea to begin with (just like Rashaddd said). you went to all that trouble to make the box air tight and then you put a terminal cup in which can, if not placed properly, lead to air...

11" inside diameter. just cut out rings for my IDQ's yesterday.

i can see that. considering most of the time i'm the only one in the truck and it's not driven very much anyway, i wanted it to image well from the driver's side. but in competing, they judge from the passenger side also, and the truck is partly a demo for the shop, so we wanted people to be...

i am indeed, thank you. and yes, they spent a great deal of time in placement and adjustment.

truck isn't driven further than 30 miles one way, so no go on the halfway thing. and read above post.

sorry to burst your bubble, but nobody is getting in good with me. i respect JB's opinion, but i also trust the judgment of my boyfriend and his business partner. i sat in the truck during this whole process and in order to overcome the hump over the instrument cluster, the centerstage was...

hey i'm trying to be nice. in fact, i do know what imaging is. and i think you should come on up from los angeles and listen to my truck, mister, before you start saying it has horrible imaging. come on now, you're only about 4 hours away.

this is you: Focal > CDT. and you don't care for my upstage. that's personal opinion, not criticism. but thanks for trying.

i'll pretend to ignore this, but i really don't care if you like my setup or not.

ha, well CDT is actually about 40 miles away from my boyfriend's shop. ken does all the designing. he's recently launched awesome home audio lines, as well. each speaker has a unique purpose for custom applications, but it can be confusing. i will admit i'm not a fan of the yellow/gold but the...

when we first started reassembling the truck after paint, i had my 7", 3" and tweets hooked up, but not my subwoofers yet. had to drive the truck home for some reason and just had those running and the 7" put out a surprising amount of bass, i was shocked. of course, not in comparison to...
