What do you have to process all of this?
Just an fyi, but I could go to Walmart right now and buy the cheapest speakers they sell, install them in my car, set them up optimally and my car would sound 10x better than yours........even if you had 10x's more expensive drivers in your car. Why would this be??

So how many times have you won the SQ championship in the last 5 years? Should be everytime with your qualifications.

47 times. It's a good record. Those are WORLD titles, too. I fly my car around on my own private plane.

Point is: if you don't have a) the processing power which enables you to make 7 different speakers sound as ONE 2) or the experience to maximize the install (locations, aiming, etc)........

Then the LAST thing to worry about is which drivers to buy.

I couldn't agree with you more. But saying that your going to outperform someone with wal-mart equipment is just wrong. Unless your seriously a pro, the equipment does make a difference.

Nope, pretty confident I could smoke this guy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Why don't you tell him the point of no return then, if you're so confident in the equipment choice making that much of a difference for him.

As a sidebar, anyone know what Mark Eldridge uses in his car for speakers? And *gasp* oh nose....he doesn't even use extreme SQ amps!!!!!!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

An Alpine 9887. It will handle everything for the front stage aside from the high-pass for the mid-bass and the low-pass for the sub. Those of which I will have to control with the filters on their respective amps.

The funniest thing is its supposed to sound to MY liking not anyone elses.....I could care less if someone else could make it sound better than me...you know why?

Because this is my first timing diving into this end of the pool. I dont expect to be able to do this better than anybody.

Im coming HERE for help. If I want to run a set of **** mid-bass' because I can, then I will. I dont give a shit what anyone else thinks about it, as long as Im happy with it.

I dont spend all the **** $$$$ I have on stuff like this for other people...Im sorry.

And so far Im very happy with what I have setup. To me personally it sounds great.

yea dude came in here sounding like a pompous dickhead, how about offering advice instead of acting like a 10 year old

 

[MikeyB 5,000+ posts]

Yeah I would much rather get some advice on what Im doing rather than getting reamed about not knowing what to do.

Im a noob when it comes to 'active' in general. This has been my first time messing with the 3-way setup on my deck and everything.

Im not expert and Im definitely not claiming to be.

ME = SQ N00b

Fox knows his shit and is against spoon feeding. most of his post will point you in the right direction, but it's still up to you to walk the path.

i guess they don't need big subs to make up for it.

I wouldnt say necessarily cocky but most of them have years of experience and after that amount of time in this industry you tend to get a little worn out by so many know it all noobs. (not saying the op or even anyone in this thread, just saying....)

But if you really are building a sq car, i would redo the door panels and start from scratch. Placement and installation is much more important than drivers. I think we can all agree on this. From there you will most likely need to test multiple placements and compare. Then start building. Then tweak. Then start over with new drivers....

See why it can wear on people? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
