Thanks brother--as a real novice in the car audio world I appreciate you looking into that for me.

Alright, let me preface this post with saying that I've read countless threads on the forum about JL being overpriced, etc., so please don't flame me straight up for even bringing up the brand here. I realize that JL is a generally overpriced brand and relies on the name to sell, but I've got a...

UPDATE: I checked out the Hertz line at another local shop yesterday and was blown away by them. They didn't have that super bright ear-splitting Focal sound I heard at the first shop. Everybody's ears are different, and the HSK165XL just sang to me. Planning on throwing a couple 12s in the...

Thanks for the speaker recs guys. I'm by no means saying I need to drop that much cash if there are better or comprable sets out there for the price, I just figured that to get something that sounds high end, I would need to do high end spending. I'll see what I can find around here in those...

Alright, so I've come to a change of direction in the past couple days. I realized that I'd rather spend a little more on the subs/custom enclosure and not as much as I originally planned on the components ($1200). I started looking at Hertz and some other brands as well. Any comps in...

BTW, just saw on your profile that work with C-17s. Got to hitch a ride on a couple of those this year. Those things are BEASTS.

I agree 100%, which is why I was hoping someone on the boards had experience with them. The install at the last shop I used was flawless and I haven't had a single issue with their work in the past three years. My only issue is that based on what I've read on these boards, I'd really like to...

Complete install, components to subs. Was looking at Focals at the shop for that put my last system together, but every time I listen to them at the shop I walk out with my ears bleeding--just want to see what else is out there on the high end. I saw this other place has Hertz and some other...

Can anyone form Tampa vouch for a shop called Soundwaves? I've only had experience with one shop here in the past, Maximum Audio, but found these guys online and it looks like they've got a great selection. I'm planning on heading in there in a couple weeks, but will avoid it if anyone has got...

Thanks for the advice, brother--I'll definitely make sure they get the deadener in the doors. I'll drop in again soon and with whatever else I come up with as far as the speakers go. I appreciate all the help and advice.

Thanks everybody for the quick responses! Joseph, -I'm looking at the 2012 Ram 1500, but if the dealership happens to come up with a well-priced 2011, then I might snatch that up instead. -The guy I spoke to at the shop convinced me to keep the stock HU, which I actually thought was a decent...

Hey guys, I joined this forum a little while back to ask about my Memphis 6x9s and got some great advice. I'm getting a new truck in a few months though and will be giving my old setup to the wife so I can take a step up in the new ride. I'm off to Fort Benning in a couple months and I'm looking...

I've got some things to take care of today but I'll definitely check that out tonight and post and update--thanks man.

I haven't done that yet. Would that be in the advanced sound settings on the HU or would I find it elsewhere?

Thanks for checking the specs out on the HU, horseman. So pretty much beyond what I did on the amp today it seems like any other changes would have to come with a change of equipment (and in that case it seems the consensus is for a set of comps or 3-ways...)? And considering the lack of...
