Setting Up Front Imaging

speakers should be in tuesday... i'm excited to see where this is going.... Would you care to explain to me why you recomended those exact speakers? I was suprised to see that the silver flute speaker had a wool cone. I've only seen the typical aluminum, pressed paper, and kevlar style cones.

Anyways, I'll let you know when they come in. I don't want to jump the gun on anything.

Thanks,

Ya, I liked those prices.... Made me wish I had just gone that way from the begining.. .but oh well... You learn over time..

I had to get a new starter for my truck... but I plan on ordering the daytons on the 30th.

have a good one!

I don't exactly understand " woofer at one end, and your ear at the other, with mid/tweeter array between."

I'm building some door pods. I was hoping to mount the vifa half way up the panel  in front of the stock tweeter location, with the silver flute under that, and the tang-band under that. Do I need to run them sealed, ported, IB, or some funky other enclosure that I don't know about yet???

The only wiring I have in my truck is the factory wiring. It hasn't been cut or hacked away. I have a single strand of 4 ga to the sub amp and a single strand of 8 ga to the 4ch. I have 20" of 9 con (18 ga.) that Im just dieing to run through the truck. If running individual strands of thicker wire would be better I can do that as well (I have Tsunami stuff avalible). I've also got a new kicker 0 ga (is that over kill for this project?) kit that I want to run through my truck. I AM FULLY PREPAIRED TO PULL THE INTERIOR!!!

The car audio buyer for my company came by today and I had the speakers sitting in my office. He took one look and said, "man, you're trying to do something right!" I told him you were helping me with the process, and he was impressed. He's also building a SQ truck, that I'd love to run against in may at our 1st USACi show of the year. He's doing up an chevy avalanch with some wave guides and lord knows what else... his bugette is WAY bigger than mine (plus he's been in the business and installing for the past 25yrs)..... hahahaha!

Thats the link to where I've got the start of the pods posted. I plan on posting the build here once it's finished. Thanks dave!

alright man, took me a little research but I've got what you asked for...

HU - Eclipse CD8443

AMPS

Eclipse EA3422 4ch

Kenwood Excelon KACX401M

HK1000D

HK598 4 ch

I don't have any external eq's or anything like that.... Just straight cdplayer to amps... should I invest in one?

Ya, I showed him your build and he did compliment it. He did mention that he had to cut the wave guides all the way down to even sit in the truck and he was rebuilding the power supply on a behinger 31 band eq so he could tune them in some more.

When you say a small sealed enclosure are we talking .1-.3 cu ft? I've come up with a way to mount and seal the SF before wrapping the rest of the pod for glass. I can then cut the back to run the TB IB...

It's time to start building again!!!

Did a little trimming on the molds today to get them symetrical. I've got a pretty good design in my head for the install. I was thinking the sealed part of the pod for the SF should be around .1cuft... let me know if that's wrong so I can adjust my design.

Thanks dave!
