    15 XXX sealed... 2cu ft vs 3 cu ft?

    Thank you captain obvious :p J/k but seriously, i'm just worried about going too far outside of RE's parameters. I think i'm going to just try the RE recommended box and go from there. .25 cu ft seems right for the displacement of the 15" XXX, no?

    15 XXX sealed... 2cu ft vs 3 cu ft?

    i'm building a box at the moment, and RE recommends 2cu ft sealed for the 15" XXX. What will a 3 cu ft box sound like compared to the 2 cu ft? Power handling? Thanks! As soon as I get a formidable answer i'm going to build the box

    Orion or MTX for 15" XXX

    I need an amp for my baby.. 15" XXX. It will be going in the recommended 2cu ft Sealed box for SQ. I was screwing around with the thought of getting Arc, Zapco, etc. But I really don't need to buy the BEST in the world.. besides, the Zap's and Arc's are power hungry. Looking for a good...

    So I hear DLS is quite the hot setup..

    With the D9's weighing in at 1200+ they better be high end! I can get CDT ES-620Z's for ~ $800, so price is weighing a major role in that decision. I just really wonder if you would even notice a $400 dollar difference between the two. Same situtation on the DLS's. The 8" Iridium ones are...

    So I hear DLS is quite the hot setup..

    I've never heard of them before. When I think of high end, I used to think Morel, Dynaudio, CDT, Focal.. and the high end DIY such as Vifa, Scanspeak, etc. Never ever ever heard of DLS until I stumbled upon them searching the site. And as far as the "DLS sounds better" comment, could you...

    So I hear DLS is quite the hot setup..

    So how did they just miraculously "come to be" ?? And you think they are actually better than ES-620Z's? If so, why?

    So I hear DLS is quite the hot setup..

    I've never heard of them before, but seem promising. I was wondering how the 8.2 Iridium 8" woofer performs vs the 6.5". Obviously, it will have better low end response, but does it hold flat to the tweeter crossover point? I may be over analyzing this, as the audible difference may be...

    New car, install-friendly?

    I am growing tired of my 03 F150 Supercab, and am looking to go with a new car. One of the criteria is how well it responds to car audio. I sold my current equipment and am back to square one w/ stock speakers and an Alpine 9815. I plan on implementing the following: - 6.5" or 7" Component...

    Combining fuses.. good idea or not?

    well fusing at the battery is a given. I am getting ready to go on a Stinger buying spree.. so I will go ahead and spring for the fused blocks.

    Combining fuses.. good idea or not?

    Is it a good idea to fuse the wire at the battery (at wires rated amp capacity) and then, when say splitting from 1/0 to 4-gauge, install smaller fuses rated for the 4-gauge wire? Or is it just pointless excess?

    grounding wiring

    4/0.. I have 50 feet of that.. stuff is a ***** to work with! 4/0 is quite a sight to see.. but 750, 1000, or 2000MCM will literally make your jaw drop. 2 inches of wire. Not length.. DIAMETER.

    Second Skin application?

    When applying STFU to my door panels, do I have to apply Rattle Pad on top of it to absorb the waves coming from the speaker, or does STFU dampen from both sides? How did you guys do your Second Skin install? mix and match? Stick with 1 type? I'm considering the vinyl pad for the floor of my...
