OMG, i'm doing SQ!!!!

[Raven 10+ year member]

eu-700's wouldn't be a problem for me to get...
And the seXXX is in the s-10, this thread is about my other vehicle (silverado) which will become my daily driver once its up and running and in a decent condition to drive. This will also be my competition (SPL) vehicle, thus it is going to have quite a large sub setup in it.

Therein lies the problem. SQ and SPL are on different playing fields. It is not everyday you find an SPL vehicle with enough quality to qualify for a good daily driver. It fits into a very popular argument about a specific subwoofer around here that I won't bring up.

Anyway, is it still MECA? If it is, I would still sugguest the Decware subs, just for a change of pace. They cost less than a Type R, maybe buy one for testing purposes. I hear they are efficient as hell with top notch SQ, so putting like 8 of them in a ported wall with 1.5kw would work out pretty nice for both applications IMO.

Give the man some credit huh! He;s "Changing his ways" lmao!
He's come to learn! He's slowlllylyyy letting go the SPL clench, working over the SQL hump, on his way to SQ land!!

So let me get this straight......

you want an SQ by day, and SPL by night, all in the same car?

I'm leaning toward horns for ya. I see u got a couple titles under your belt, n i'd bet the horns might do u good.

Finally, somebody sees where i'm coming from. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I want SQ for competition, still have my SPL setup (the SQ stuff will be turned off for SPL testing), then i want to have a nice balance for daily driving (nasty sub stage with other speakers that can keep up.

So, i don't necessarily want the best of both worlds all the time, SQ will have its portion, then SPL, then i want to have a happy medium for daily.

It seems like maybe something like horns, then a 7" dayton RS midbass, and then a 4-5" speaker as well? This is just an idea.

If you're going to do horns, just stick with a 2-way.

K.I.S.S

So horns and a 7" midbass then?

The only thing was, is i really didn't look into horns too much because of where they have to be placed. With my luck one of my dumbass friends would put their foot into it or something.

Door pods would keep everything out of harms way.

Its hard to have a vehicle that does well in SQ and SPL... so what?

The man is ready for the challenge...

The SPL part of it is not in this thread. Taking a bunch of "good sq" woofers and slapping them into a wall doesn't mean they will maintain SQ, or get loud. What will be used for SPL is just that, whatever will get LOUD. The subs can be turned *off* if need be, and a single 8 can be in there for SQ, which IMO would probably be a good idea, if the SPL setup wasn't up to par in SQ.

Horns tuck up tight under the dash.......unless your friends have extremely short legs I don't think hitting it with their foot should be a problem //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Are you actually going to be competing in SQ next year?

You sure you're not using Type R comps??? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Good luck finding any //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Both of my pairs are gone, and they're the only ones I've seen for sale in quite a while.

With some good tuning the CD1e's can sound respectable.

I really want to try it at a few shows, if it interests me i may stick with it.

I just want to have a badass daily driver too, that can impress the SQ AND SPL guys. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

i'd like people's opinions on what they think would be better, not be ridiculed for some of the things i talked about. So unless you're going to help me, don't bother posting again.

should you and your friends spkrman or whatever be going by this rule as well?

Shut up.

 

[Spkrman]

psht, you'll never impress me... even if you did a 170. and got a perfect score in master SQ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'll probably do SQ too... but I honestly don't want to get into that so hardcore.

Either way it goes, if everything goes as planned your setup is gonna be flat out AWESOME.
