[QUOTE="sq_guru, post: 6568953, member: 617890"] Hey - I'm obviously new to the forum. :P As the screen name suggests, I'm into high-end audio from a sound quality standpoint - not too interested in SPL. I started reading CA&E in the early 90's and had a system installed in my first car before I even had a driver's license. An a/d/s 6-channel amp and x-over with Boston Pro components and a MTX bandpass box - not too shabby for a first system, eh? My enthusiasm led me to work in the industry for 8+ years, but I've now moved on to other things. I really should've competed with my last vehicle - a 1996 Nissan Maxima. Here's a pic of my front stage setup: [IMG]http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cDis6f5KRqg/SyU3upF9_oI/AAAAAAAAAgA/JPpE9Jb9nrM/s800/dash.jpg[/IMG] Pictured you can see my custom kicks and a-pillar tweeter pods. I built a 4-way front stage consisting of a pair of Alpine SPX-F17T 3-ways (6.5" in stock door location, 5.25" and 1" in kickpannel) and another Alpine 1" in the a-pillars. The whole system was driven by JL Audio power, with 75w driving each a-pillar from >10KHz, 75w on the kickpannels covering ~300Hz - 10KHz, 150w to each door midbass covering ~70Hz to 300Hz (that's 600w RMS to the front stage!), and 75w to the 6.5" Alpines midbass drivers in the rear deck for fill.
