When you are not spending your money on car audio is when you need to stop. FOR example, suspensions, busted doors, ripped dash, busted rear hatch door, worn engine, brakes from all that weight, along with the broken windows and windshields. Yeaah when you starting having all those problems, yeah id think id stop there.

Nah, that's when you fix the weak links.

I just want insane hairtricks and something fun to give demos with. Most of the time, "Daily listening" for me is about 90% of what a safe "full tilt" is for my system.

Can't wait to get these batteries and amps in!!

Trying to get the midbass transition and up front illusion.

no one designs drivers to do so.

It's not the driver it's the install

no one in the field designs very high output low distortion 6.5s because there really isn't a market. sure they have decent sounding high output drivers but its very difficult to design a high output low distortion midrange / tweeter in the conventional sense.. ribbon tweeters and horns are low distortion drivers typically wne designed correctly and get loud as **** but midbass drivers the play from 70-2500 are a different story. although they have a few they are a pretty penny.

pretty decent driver that will handle 200 watts music. gotta port it though

. bad thing about porting is port resonance and phasing issues

As I have gotten older, I find myself not really looking for loud, as opposed to deep and clear. My latest set up the IA20.1, and psi reconed re audio mt 15d2, pretty much have accomplished just that. That's not to say that they can't get loud though, but I have never had a need or want to chase number, all of this has been for my personal enjoyment.

Im up there in age too and I feel the same way.... gimee clear , deep and some loudness to go along with it and I am good. I actually really enjoy just the hobby itself too, anything with cars is cool, looking at pictures of custom audio jobs and testing different set ups have always been cool to me too.

I concur, I always have been fascinated by cars and trucks dude. I could look at a tail light and tell what kind of car it was, wasn't so good with what year, but make and model spot on.

Lol, I lost that talent when I married and had to get a job but back in the day, I would know what kind of car was coming down the alley on the next block just by the headlights. I hung out a lot in alleys, played ball on a garage rim, drank our beer and just had our fun back there, its that city life.

No, lol. My systems haven't been loud enough for me and I just spent $4,500 on three 7k amps and over 30 batteries......

It's all subjective. For daily, I am satisfied with my system for the time being as far as bass goes. I want a better sound stage in the front for daily listening but as far as daily goes, I love mine. Yes, it could be louder. When i hit a 50 @ 35Hz (Don't wig out for it being a small goal, baby steps lol) but the only reason I would go louder is just for demo potential. My system still surprises me every day even though I drive hours and hours every week. After getting my doors done, I'll think about getting a better sub stage.

All in all, it's really just user based. Some people think that a 150 is too loud, my friend has 3 crossfire spl 15s on 3 4ks at .35 each and 16v, and it's not loud enough for him. He's going to 6 15s and 6 4ks, and maybe he will be satisfied after that. But one of my friends literally downgraded because it was too much and it was only a 148 setup just like mine.
