Disturbed: You're in Caddo Parish? Or Bossier Parish? I'm an old man. 40 years old. I'm coming home from having a couple beers with a coworker. Cop on Mannsfield pulls me over and proceeds to give me a sobriety test which I pass. Then he give me a breathalyzer which I pass. Then he proceeds to arrest me anyway. Impounds my car and lets me go a couple hours later. 2 weeks later I get a DWI in the mail! Not even kidding. I hire an attorney and this thing is still going on!!! That place has one of the most corrupt judicial systems I've seen. And I've been to 40 **** states for work. Ridonkulous!!! Point Being, how do you not constantly get pulled over for loud music?

Yeah right I've been pulled over 4 times in the last 4 months lol one time I got pulled over it wasn't even me it was another jeep and I happened to drive by minutes later turned out it was my buddy with 2 L7's and a MRP2000 lol too bad I'm way louder. Also another time cops showed up at my house @ 11PM and said they had a noise complaint I was in my driveway and turned out to be a truck going by slamming so thanks neighbors you will be getting 1PM-9PM bass treatment now.

meh. the only thing i think that really helps is the heaviness of all the outer/inner panels. i didnt see too much of a decrease in rattles/flex with alphadamp but it is what it is

I saw they were only $35 dollars a piece thinking about getting some of these for my mid-stage or maybe just doing an 8" build for my truck.

Subs are not recommended for mid stage for a number of reasons. First they create uncontrollable vibrations throughout the entire door panel if thats where your mounting them. Secondly they have a limited frequency range. You wont get a sub that can play mid bass very well if at all.

Didn't read through the thread, but from what I hear the newer RE 8's are poop.

Caddo parish for most my life now in Bossier parish. Its pretty simple dnt play loud music unless you are moving. But really I have been pulled over for many of things but never for loud music.. Always ends in a search of my car though.. Got to have a plan if ur dirty dump everything inside my air vents when i get home remove cd player and boom there is my stuff. LOL Bossier cops are beast bro Shreveport want mess with you unless your killing someone. They got way to much to do.. But Caddo's judicial system is very harsh comapred to Bossier Ive seen first time mary jane possesion get 3 years in the parish jail.....

Hmm that's weird a lot of people use 8" subwoofers for mids...? I have a friend with 2 Rockfords in his door and they sound great? Anyways what do you suggest then? I'm not really a perfectionist or anything so I really don't think I'll care much either way I just want that mid bass. Steve uses 8" rockfords for his mids and they sound good what gives?
