    Hi Everybody! I'm new, check out my build

    Ok, so I poked around and figured out that I have 4 hi inputs from the headunit into a 6 channel amp. I don't think I want to bridge tap into them and wire them to RCA connectors, but my RD 3250.1 (hasn't arrived yet) seems to only have an RCA input. I dug up a Fultron Crossfire (don't ask me...

    I'd say... under 45 mph or the intertia switch would have tripped. And it wasn't a curb, it was a tree. Fiberglass is easy to destroy, the aluminum tub chassis is very safe, but it's designed to crumple like crazy in a crash. Yep... other people ****. Anyway, my current goal is to get a signal...

    Edit: NVM, amplifier isn't DSP. I can use analog inputs or outputs, outputs look prefereable.

    Hi Everybody! I'm new, check out my build

    Actually, the 05 Elise ran about 42K new, and there was a long waiting list, so most people paid above MSRP. The 07 Exige cost me exactly the same, interestingly. My family is well to do, but I just graduated and certainly don't get any free handouts, aside from not having to worry about student...

    Hi Everybody! I'm new, check out my build

    And my dad's got a lamborghini and an indy 500 pacecar. Not my money... I'm not personally wealthy, I just graduated. I like the 135i more than the 3 series, it's smaller and less expensive. Anyway, it doesn't matter what I finance, I think you care more about money and status than I do... I'm...

    Hi Everybody! I'm new, check out my build

    I like the Alpine Type-X 5.25"s. If I am my interiors and move the Focals to the back, can I control the gain for the front and rear speakers independently on a 4 channel amp? Would this setup be feasible, or am I making a mistake with the Focals in the first place? Do you have any suggestions...

    Hi Everybody! I'm new, check out my build

    I think I'd rather spend $425 for that 3250.1 amp rather than switching to 0.75 ohms and a 1750.1. I don't think I save to stand much money, if any by doing that. A lot of this stuff is in a very high price range. I know SQ doesn't come cheap. Any suggestions for 5.25" components for the front...

    Nothing is in yet, paid for the amp and woofer, but I'm waiting on RD Audio. As far as the cars go: And these are some threads about my Lotus, she is no more : http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f157/new-2007-exige-s-70552/...

    Hi Everybody! I'm new, check out my build

    I should probably mention that I'm going with a 1.6 cu.ft sealed MDF box for the woofer, hence the higher output. I'm planning on setting the crossover pretty high on the woofer. I guess the SPL on the Focal polyglass drivers I chose is a little low. I cancelled my order on those until I figure...

    Black Metallic Coupe, red leather interior. Looks better in black than white. White makes the car look like a pregnant cat or something. My last car was an '07 Lotus Exige, so I stopped caring about looks the instant I decided to buy the 135i for its engine... :P. I'm just happy to be able to...

    Hi Everybody! I'm new, check out my build

    I've got iDrive. Can you give a little more info on the Audison bit one? Is it an equalizer? How much does it cost? I'm still not sure what I'll be doing with the OEM HU signals. I don't think that 6.5"s will fit in the front, but I have to take the doors off to unscrew the OEM speakers. I'd...

    Rear fill meaning those 6.5" Focals I'm contemplating? Any suggestions?

    Hi Everybody! I'm new, check out my build

    Well, I'm not really new, I've been lurking around for some time. I just purchased a BMW 135i about a month ago and think the sound system is so-so. I had a sound system installed in my parents 95 Saturn back in high school, and I've pieced together a sound system for an ex, but my current...
