So for awhile now I've been content with my setup. I have: 02 Ranger Supercab (2 door variant) DEH-80PRS (standard mode) Polk Audio PA4000.4 amp Channels 1 & 2 driving JBL P660C components (via their passive crossovers) Channels 3 & 4 bridged to drive a cheapo pioneer prefab 10"...

I decided that while I could fit a 12" 1 cuft enclosure, the 10" would give me a much better fit, and the box would be significantly easier to make (Id have to go wedge to get a 12" to fit). I have no router or circular saw/table (just a jigsaw), so expenses would mount. I can make a rectangular...

Im flexible to an extent. The absolute max actually is a wedge shape: 23w X 9h x 13d (bottom) x 11d (top) (.97982 cuft) Ideally id want something (or less): 21w X 7h x 13d (rectangle) (.71 cuft) Im currently leaning towards the Sundown SD-3 10 d2 (wired in series for 4 ohm load). Calls for...

Alright, so I actually came here with an open mind instead of trying to have my thoughts validated Scrapped the polk subs on everyone's suggestions and now im checking out others. Right now Im looking at the Dayton Reference HO and HF 12, and the Sundown SD3 12. Im trying to look at other ones...

Im trying to understand all the data that I see. Its frustrating since some manufacturers dont show much while others do. Ive worked out that sensitivity isnt necessarily important, or at least the most important. There are subs with low xmax and high sensitivity and subs that arent as...

A long time ago I posted a thread here trying to get suggestions on speakers and to get a critique on the rest of my system. That thread is here: http://www.caraudio.com/forums/general-discussion/612612-critique-my-system-suggest-some-speakers.html I ended up with the following installed in my...

Time it takes to install all of it again? Time it takes waiting for the insurance to send you a payment? Time it takes dealing with them on the phone trying to weasel out of paying? Chance they find some loophole to get out of paying? Cost of install for those who cant do it theirselves? Time...

Record a message played on a loudspeaker mounted under your car that starts with a demented laugh and then has a voice that says "Im coming to f*** you." Then have it go back to laughter. Have another speaker start playing the sound of a woman screaming. Just as that starts, your air horns start...

Those JBL P660c's will blow your mind on an amp. Make sure to set your gains! Also, dont judge right off the bat- they need at least a few hours to loosen up. Most speakers sound like shite until broken in. Youre going to love that setup. Now start thinking for the future where you might stuff...

Nah the amps you have are fine. Pick one and be happy. If you want to change amps, you might consider the PPI p900.4 phantom. I have the Polk Audio PA-D4000.4 which is very similar and its great. It is Class D instead of Class AB, and some people dont like class d amps on the mids. in terms of...

I do understand why you might choose not to run a sub- size constraints were the primary reason I went with the small sub I have now. After driving a Miata for 10 years I didnt want to give up my newfound extra space (the extended cab part- 2002 Ranger Ext Cab here) for a set of 10s. Im happy...

Any particular reason you want 4 speakers? Most here myself included will tell you that taking the money you would spend on the rears and putting that money into better front speakers is the best bet. Rear speakers make getting your stage right pretty hard, especially if you turn your head or...

I recently installed a system in my truck. DEH-80PRS Polk PA-D4000.4 Pioneer TS-D1602R Pioneer TS-SXW2502 10" sub I have a set of JBL P660's on the way (and a tweeter amp/distro block/speaker wire for 3way active), but this problem isnt really related. I set my gains with a DMM using a...

I suppose that would be a pain for some, but it doesnt look all that bad to me; mostly just looks like it will be time consuming, but I enjoy projects like that. The biggest issue in my case is I believe the speaker bolts directly to the door (no mounting adapter like the camry has). So, Id need...
