Trigger Man!
Unfortunately he is serious
Are you really trying to start shitt with me for some reason?
Unfortunately he is serious
Not sure what you are talking about, but then again it don't matter either.
It's all good bobby
Yup bobby is the only person to give me a thumbs down on this forum (not that I give two shiits)
But I noticed a strong pattern with him, He constantly biitches about stuff he does on the daily, It's actually a trip. when I read some of his posts I say to myself "this dude can't serious"
I wouldn’t expect you to get what I’m saying. You get **** from everyone on this forum and you think we are all the problem. As much as you talk **** about Trump, you actually kind of act like him. No accountability, no blame, it’s everyone against me attitude.
I don’t care what your political beliefs are and it has nothing to do with what I’m saying. You keep bringing up that **** but we’ve told you countless times how the pedo **** you claim is so far fetched and as far as the killing yourself thing, i still haven’t seen where that was specifically said and even then, it’s the freaking internet. Far worse is said daily so just give it a break. This site is already on life support so quit trying to pull the plug and infecting it with that ****
The 10w7s cost me $499 each
You still getting hosed the 10w7 is at best a $320 sub and morel and focal are generally pushed because they are power efficient and when crossed high enough get really loud which staying clear. The down side is they generally have no bottom end mid bass which no that's not what subs are for subs are for frequencies lower than midbass are designed to play.
On top of focal and morel have stupid high markup. I don't need to dissect the install cost because 99% of the time shops that sell jl/morel/focal all have the same high end charge rates while few of them actually do high end installs
From an installers perspective you sell the high end product saying that the product price=quality then you slap it in the car as fast as you can to make the most money for the time it cost to install. That's just how commission sales work.
Without seeing the rear seat layout and pulling measurements I don't know the amount of airspace available but I'd be almost willing to bet you don't have the airspace to properly port 2 10w7s.
Like I said I hope you are getting that high end install quality because they are hosing you on the equipment

Not a bad price for them, but for $1000 you would have been better off with 4 Sundown audio SA-8s or 3 X-8s.
I'm sure the system will sound good as long as the install isn't God-awful and that's really all that matters. Finding a good installer is really difficult now. You can't just slap a speaker in a car door and call it good. You also can't just slap 6 squares of wood together and call it an enclosure.
If you are being sold $2k-4k worth of equipment, your installation cost is going to be at least another 1500 if they are doing it properly. Deadener, sound isolation, wire, distro blocks, Fuses, MDF for the enclosure and speaker rings, all of these things are important for a good sounding system.
I have probably 6 hours of work into each of my doors alone. Adding deadener, closed cell foam, wrapping wires so they don't rattle, sealing holes, etc. If you got a 3 way setup, you now have to either add pods to your dash, or use the poorly placed factory location.
A good sounding system is 80 percent install, 20 percent gear. It's taken me 10 years or so to justify spending more than a few hundred bux on a set of speakers or more than 500 on an amp. If I had paid someone to do the work on my car, I would be out an easy 10 grand.
If you were closer to Central Florida, I would gladly throw a small sub in my un-finished jetta and give you a demo of a "properly" installed, tuned, and isolated system. This is a hobby, we need to teach people more and talk down to them less.

Can you name a few of the 8’s that you have listened to? Did you listen to them demo’d in a shop or vehicle?That all makes sense to me, except the 4 8s. I'm not looking for SPL, I'm looking for SQ while still having some knock. All the 8s I've listened to lately just do not get low enough. "Gangsta Rap Made me Do It" by Ice Cube is a great demo track for it. "It's All On Me" by Dr. Dre is another one. I've listened to every 8 I can find in the last week or so and none of them can drop the bottom out like I want. They get loud, but they don't get low. Maybe I'm just not listening to the right setups but I've been as thorough as possible.
The install time is a fair portion of the price I'm going to pay, including full dynamat, etc. These guys did my system back in 2014 and they did a very good job back then, which is why I'm returning.

I have 3.2 cuft unless solidworks is lying.
Look maybe you're telling the truth, I don't know. All I know is the Morel Virtus 2-ways I had in 2014 sounded better than literally any car stereo I've heard in my life, and the Focal Flax 3-ways I plan on getting sounded just as good if not better while in the display.
If you can recommend a shop in Palm Beach County then I'd be happy to check them out, but for all the shops I've been to and seen, of all the equipment I've listened to, this is the best option I've found. I'd be happy to find something better, but I'm not seeing it right now.
I've got a collection of screenshots right here.Show me where I was wrong and I will own it.
