    Um, I last logged in 10 years ago, in 2007! What's good in 2017?

    Good to see some old heads in here.

    Over 4" in depth.

    Trying to un**** the install done by previous owner

    Just picked up a 2001 Tahoe for a daily and am losing my mind trying to get the audio system functioning. Currently it has an older Panasonic BT Double din Mix and match speakers in the doors A rear factory sub that isn't working but a factory amp that has power. Does anyone here have any...

    8" Shallow Mount 2ohm

    Under 4" mounting depth, 8" needs to be SVC 2 ohm or DVC 4 ohm for a final 2 ohm load. Nothing crazy just replacing a factory subwoofer in a 2001 Tahoe.

    New Active setup, not liking it.

    Will do. Doors are completely deadened and entirely sealed, spent several hours on each door. I know the sound of VC slapping, I once way over powered a set of rainbow mids. I will keep an eye (ear) on things. This setup now sounds amazing.

    New Active setup, not liking it.

    So I drove around like this (weekend car so not too much) and just put up with the fact my 7" mids had absolutely no bass. Although I've been in the car audio world for a while I conceded and thought maybe I had set expectations too high. Today I finally went outside and messed around some...

    Didn't have time yet. That was just with some different genre of music.

    New Active setup, not liking it.

    So I came home, bumped the the high pass on the mids to 63hz/12db and cranked some Dave Matthews Band (usually its rap, dubstep etc that I am playing) and the setup actually sounds fantastic. The kick drum is literally so impactful you can feel it in your chest. I think with some more tweaking...

    New Active setup, not liking it.

    I don't doubt that, there is plenty of room. This is built, massive cam, straight piped weekend car, I really just wanted some simple setup with a moderate budget (spent $100 on my 900.4 versus running two amps or a 5 channel) and obviously the RS180s and tweeters via ebay were cheap. Just...

    New Active setup, not liking it.

    Original paper drivers were shredded, this is in my 2000 Corvette. And no, not yet, the car isn't even totally back together (door panels still off, etc). I haven't touched EQ or TA. Still messing with xovers and slopes. I will use this for a while and then decide on doing speakers in the...

    Is it possible to have a 2 way setup that gets into sub bass frequencies? I don't mean sub like output, but at this point I would have enjoyed a stock like experience more than what I have now. I never intended to run a sub in this car.

    New Active setup, not liking it.

    I will check tonight. My 2008 Trailblazer's stock system (junk 6.5" in doors, 3" in dash and 5.25" in rear doors) sounds like it has subwoofers compared to this new setup.

    New Active setup, not liking it.

    I will make sure they are in phase tomorrow, but I am pretty sure they all are. No. Don't plan on one either. I just thought there would be more bass output (bass, not midbass) based off of reviews. The high pass at 25 was just for testing. Realistically i'll likely set them to 60hz with...

    New Active setup, not liking it.

    Setup is a DEH-80 PRS Dayton RS180-P 4ohm mids Vifa XT25 tweets Doors were completely sealed and massively deadened. The mids are crossed via the head unit at 60hz/12db slope. Tweeters high passed as 2.5kz. Gains moderately set for now. In order to get what seems to be ANY bass out of my...
