    Should I glass the back of my speaker baffles?

    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?

    Tweeter Amplification requirements for active setup

    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...

    Tweeter Amplification requirements for active setup

    Best HU for USB,IPOD but must have Time Correction/EQ's

    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...

    How important is efficiency ratings when choosiing a sub?

    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...
