[QUOTE="Jlace, post: 2795932, member: 575078"] Well said. My sense is that when I said car, he went to car speakers without considering other drivers. I have no problem thinking out of the box and working a little harder if I get 20% more gain. I could have gone passive, instead I went active. This is a custom build and not all things that are custom "fit" without modifications or just the easy standards. My home theater speakers are Fluance. A little known company that makes exception speakers for budget prices. I have no issue spending money based on reviews from people in the know. You can't audition Fluance, it's internet only. I have no problem spending less and getting more. I would also hate to think I've wasted your time and my time and end up going down to the local earshack audio and throwing some kickers in it. While the man at Madisound was well meaning, my sense was he was not a DYI guy. Not to say that Peerless he suggested bad just that there may be other options. My other car had Focal Poly 2 way in the kicks. While is sounded pretty good. It was basically decent highs and midrange only. The goal of this build is to exceed that, add at least "some" midbass and raise that front stage. I realize I won't be able to get 80hz in the front stage but anything will be better than what I had. I do get frustated at times with all this but in the end I think we'll come up with a solution. The Seas will in next week he said and right now those are my leading choices. Build cost tally will be rather high. $350.00 just to install. I want to make sure my drivers live up to that so it's worth the wait and look at more just to be sure and to hedge my bet.
