Haha sweet another Tib driver! I'm on newtib as well, same username.

I'm trying to figure out how to design my trunk layout to optimize the aesthetic appeal of the interior while maintaining the integrity of my system. I would like to retain some of my trunk space if at all possible. Here is what I have: -TWO JL 8w7 -Hifonics Brutus 1208D I will be getting...

Woot! Bypass is complete. I only hooked up the mids...wasn't sure if twisting the mids+tweets together would mess with the impedance. ^I'll have to look into passive crossovers.

So then I would just leave the tweeter wires along with all the other wires that don't have corresponding inputs unconnected and tape them off? A guy from crutchfield tech support said to twist the wires together but idk if he was thinking about the amp havng a buil in xover.

^ Yes, I have connected the amp turn-on wire. But, even with the old head unit, the speakers wouldn't work. To bypass the amp, this is my understanding of what to do: (please correct me if I'm wrong) 1. Cut each of the white connector ends off of the wire sets in order to gain access to the...

I have a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT with the Infinity Sound System. Originally, my speakers had no sound coming out of them. I thought it was because of a faulty stock head unit. Then, I installed my aftermarked Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD head unit--still no sound. Now, there are two things that could be...

Going to see the JL 8w7's tomorrow. Anything I should lookout for?

All right, so I've ordered most of my stuff already: [Head Unit.......................$300] - Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD [Amp..............................$175] - HIFONICS BXi1208D [Dash Kit + Wire Harness......$35] [Knuconceptz Amp Wire Kit...$35] Now, I need to find some subs. I was thinking...

How do those Type-Es compare to Type-Rs? Just talked to the guy and I may be able to get two Type-Rs for $175 from HERE.

^ Just called him and he said it was basically sold, just waiting on the payment

With that big box, they won't fit in my trunk Should I just get the subs (he's wanting $240 for just the subs). Maybe I can get him down to $200. But then I'd have to get a custom box made for ~$150. Thoughts?

^ yeah I was considering that but it won't fit in my trunk. I'll probably have to end up getting a custom box made that will fit in my car. I think I'm going to go with plan #2.

I'm just going to go with Type-Rs because they're cheaper. Here's my plans, which plan should I go with?: 1. Found two 12" Alpine Type-Rs in a ported Subzone enclosure on Craigslist for $300: alpine type R's - $300 Should I just get that^ so I don't have to worry about getting a box made? 2...

Hmm...so here is a hypothetical setup. Tell me what you think. (Note: all prices include shipping) [$175] Amp: HIFONICS BXi-1208D CLASS D MONO AMP CAR SUB AMPLIFIER [$245] Subs: 2 ALPINE SWR-1242D 12"SUBWOOFERS TYPE-R NEW SUB WOOFERS [$35] Amp Installation Kit: KLM Complete 4 Gauge Amp...

Ended up not being able to purchase the head unit due to insufficient funds in my Paypal account--I'll have to add some $$ later. So, we start with a blank slate with $800 in total. Many of you are saying Alpine Type-R subs, like this? What amp would go good with those? 2 ALPINE SWR-1242D...
