More power is always better, just set the amp so it doesn’t clip at the maximum volume you listen to music. I have learned on here to not go solely by rms numbers.... overhead is good. For instance I am running a set of Boston SL60s active 60w to each driver, even though they are rated 80w rms...

It seems to me, it would exceed your expectations, if you just bought a quality head unit, and added a stand alone dsp unit. Knowing what I have learned on here, I would never buy a head unit based off the option of on-board dsp, when the stand alone dsp units are far more tune able. With the...

No mention of Alpine? I know they aren’t cheap, but the difference in quality is worth it in my opinion. I’ve had good luck with pioneers, I’ve had bad luck with pioneers. I’ve had bad luck with Kenwood. Jvc used to be decent, but I haven’t owned one in 25 years, and from what I understand, they...

Correction.... farad Spelling was never my forte, plus I haven’t been in school for thirty years. Cut me some slack! At least I can read, unlike a lot of kids these days.

It turns out you can fit a lot in a can.

That sounds like a good idea, except...where? My amp rack is full, and trunk real estate is spent...unless I remove the cap...but, I like the read-out. I know it’s junk, and even though it is supposed to be 2 ferrets, I doubt it is much more then a 1/2 ferret.

I am gonna eventually build a new one for the type r...I just have bigger fish to fry at the moment. I only carpeted the front to help seal the 12. I’m sure it’ll hold up till I get the FI....then I’m gonna build the same enclosure, but out of better materials...this was never gonna be...

Yes I braced it. No, I see no flex at all. And I really doubt you’d even be able to tell the difference...it sounds good. People have used particle board do enclosures before...they just don’t hold up well if they are moved a lot, it don’t hold up to screws well, and water destroys it.....other...

Are you saying add my JL amp to the setup, bridge it to the mids, bridge the 60.4 to the tweets?

Actually, yes so far. I went with particle board, because it was all I could get in town, and this enclosure was a test to see if I liked a custom ported enclosure vs my sealed enclosure. I didn’t want to pay someone with a truck to transport a sheet of mdf from Menards, to my house, without...

That sounds amazing! I’m pretty new to dsp, so this sounds like almost a giant leap for me. I don’t have a meter, so all the tuning I have done thus far has been done by ear. I’m gonna check out the Dayton, but if I made the leap, I think I’ll have to pay a shop with a meter to tune it, because...

I I have actually been running the JL, Alpine amp setup for a few weeks, with dsp...and I can tell you for sure already...the CT amp setup is much better. My doors are louder, have better mb, and cleaner highs. The type r seems tighter, more punchy, less boomy on certain music, and can play...

I’m wondering, how would that Dayton compare to the built in dsp in my Pioneer avh-x4800bs that I am currently using? Would I gain any flexibility in my tune? It sounds good now, but there’s always room for improvement.

I noticed that right away lol

Well, not totally stock, I have the big three done.
