Your right if your happy with your sound then it's all good. Some people can't, or just don't, appreciate a good sound stage. Or they listen to recordings that don't add much to the enjoyment of the sound stage. To them a DSP is a waste. For me the sound stage and tonality is the most important...

Good to know. I was trying to ask how low will they play. I was thinking they might be good at 100hz

Where are you recomend high passing your Crescendo PWX6.5 and at what slope? I assume you run them IB in doors.

I know you're Out,,, but you misunderstood. The short in the alternator was a "complete short" it shorted the battery also. Even though the battery had power, it measured as a closed circuit until i disconnected the alternator. Just disconnecting the alternator allowed me to drive home just on...

That van has 320 k on it it turns over fairly easily but still runs like a champ. We can disagree on the job of the Alternator. In theory i'd agree it's not for charging the battery,,, but in reality it's often called on to do just that. Anytime you have jump start a car, because someone left...

Good feedback guys, sometime it's good to think things through out loud with others folks. The battery was just enough to barely start it one time, but yeah i get now why I should have charge it up first. I just wanted to make sure the alternator could do the job, so charging it before hand...

No not really, just thinking out loud,,, and practicing my English. I never heard of the heat cycle, good to know i'm going to look into that. I never had a alternator short before I do was wonder what exactly fails to cause a alternator to short. All the alt's i've replaced just had low or no...

I murdered it alright I also been known to murder the English language! But I'm not sure why the Alt shorted. I thought as you did at first but... Here the thing. 1. It shorted 15 minutes into the drive not right away. The battery already had 10 minutes of charge on it before the stereo was...

I installed a remanufactured alternator and it shorted out within 15 minutes. I've never seen a alternator internally short before and I've replaced at least 20 or 30 over the years so i'm kind of puzzled. To me it seems that the Alternator was poorly built,,, looking for opinions. Things i...

I really like that sub BUT only in a large box ported. I have two in my sons van both in 2.3 cubes ea, and another in my van 2.5 cubes tuned to 32hz. It models very strange but work well down to 28hz in my van. My son's are running 2 ohms off two channels from a 4 channel NVX JAD800.4, so...

Just get a good sound up front don't worry about the back for now. $300 try this CT Sounds Meso 6.5 comp set passive $160 PPI P-600.2 $99 refurb on ebay JBL MS-2 auto tuning DSP (250 bit FIR filter) $40 new on EBay. The MS-2 DSP is a very under rated piece of equipment

Yeah, i can't find specs on these amps ether. OP Are they still in production?

It's funny when this thread started the XTR2500.1d was available quit a few places,, but nine pages later, the only one i can find online is from ,,, Online Car Stereo for $440 double yeks

HD1200.1 manual says "The “Infrasonic Filter” is a 24 dB/octave highpass filter, with a fixed cutoff frequency of 30 Hz. This filter is designed to conserve amplifier power and protect subwoofer systems, without audibly degrading the sub-bass output. With ported enclosures, the use of the...

Boy, that does appear to be the case, and yeah that really blows. Maybe someone who knows for sure will chime in. You'ld think 20hz would be the lowest. Id' want my current sub ported set to 27hz also. One thing i don't like about my JL XD800.8 is the highest High Pass setting is 500 hz...
