I finally got around to going to several car audio stores Friday. I was wanting to listen to components before buying them. My plan is to go active in the near future. The stock setup is killing me , so I decided to get some components to start with while I get the amps installed and all the...

I am installing some 6.5 mids in the door of my truck with the grey foam type baffles. Beside the normal door soundproofing, would it help if I glassed in the back of the baffles so it would be almost like a rigid box type enclosure?

No real budget. I work an insane amount of hours, and I do ALLLLL my own work. Usually by the time I get one item installed, I have worked out the money for whatever I want next. So just taking it one item at a time. Buiding these and keeping my own rig going is what takes up ANY spare time I...

Great bunch of guys! They Dyno'd my old tow rig. Been meaning to make to one of their Dyno Drags...

That's funny.... I took the door panels off today to start on my sound deading. Also to determine speaker size and I believe 6.5 is good to go. I have the urge to do low mid's, mids and tweeters but I will save that for later till I can pull this off succesfully. I am going to use a speaker...

I have been bitten by a brown recluse. It was on my leg... I noticed it the first day, looked like an infected hair with a white spot in the middle. kept waiting for it to fester like a zit so I could pop it. NEVER did! White spot kept growing and it developed a hole. The white spot was dead...

Thanks guys. This info helps. I could not imagine the tweeters needing near the power that the mids do. I am doing a SQ setup. Thanks again guys!

I am doing an active setup using an Eclipse 7200 hu. I am knew to all this and have been searching but their is SO MUCH out there to digest. The mids I will be using will be in the 100-150 watts RMS range. Do the tweeters need to be the same power handling range and recieve the same...

I have not actually bought it yet. Trying to price shop but I may go ahead and get one from Crutchfield. More $$ but they have the best return and customer service. Some of the online places scare me and I have never bought from places like sonicelctronix or some of the others before...

Thanks for the replies! I need all the help I can get. I live in a pretty rural area and the closest good stereo shop is over an hour away. I have narrowed the mainstage to 3 brands. Hertz, Focal, or Dynaudio. Not looking to spend a fortune just for the sake of spending money, just want the...

I am building a SQ active setup for my truck. Using an Eclipse 7200II deck and starting to look for amps and subs now. I only have room for 2 10's. I have a Kicker CV10 in another truck with a rf amp and it sounds pretty good. Looking at the eff ratings, it is in the mid 80's... For every 3...

Thanks for the reply. I have decided to go with the Eclipse MK7200II. A little more but will do everything I want for a good quality active SQ setup.
