x2 that seas with the link above looks pretty nice. I am a fan of silk or fabric dome tweets, but they don't get as loud- but they aren't nearly as harsh and sound much more natural. my .02

What Tool Do You Guys Use For The Sub Circles?
Colin - STAPUFT replied to Crump's topic in TOOLS and TESTING Devices
I use a cutout template and then measure it several times to be sure it is the right size. Then I cut it out- sometimes with a jig saw, but other times my Roto-Zip. If I made boxes more often though, I would definitely go with the router and jig.... Find your center and it makes those circles "perfect" as you say. -

Multi Battery Fusing?

www.partsexpress.com is also your friend with fuse holders, wire, and connectors. They carry some really good speakers too- -
Multi Battery Fusing?
Colin - STAPUFT replied to Zade08's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
No joke on the $. That always puts a kink in my plans too. If it didn't, I and everyone else here would have Steve's Tahoe or the Hoopty goin' on! kkiiaann33 has experience with running those amps, so I would def. go with more batts if you can swing it. It may cost more now, but it would really bring on the suck if you burned up that Sundown due to low pwr! -
Multi Battery Fusing?
Colin - STAPUFT replied to Zade08's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
Check your voltage at the back close to your amps. Also you could try to get it clamped to see what kind of amperage you are actually pulling vs what your system "should" be pulling with impedances and so forth. More batts doesn't hurt, but one biggun under the hood if you can get away with it makes stuff simpler IMO -
Multi Battery Fusing?
Colin - STAPUFT replied to Zade08's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
You might want to put another one in front of your back battery.... You have the front battery fused if you have a short on your power wire, but the back battery won't have a fuse between it and the fuse on your front battery. If the short is inbetween the out of the front fuse and the back battery, you will have a problem. If I'm not mistaken, strictly speaking you are supposed to have a fuse no further than 18" from your battery. Some may say that is overkill, but that is how I would do it.... or use a relay or perhaps an isolator where it only is hot to your back batteries when your stereo is on... That is my plan (and fuses) when I do multiple batteries. -
Goodness! So, how 'bout those McIntosh speakers, bumonskateboard6? I like mine- sound great, no issues, very clean, not harsh at all as far as tweeters go. I am very pleased because they don't sound like the super bright cracking tweeters most people run with and are used to- the McIntosh tweets sound realistic. Anyone else have McIntosh speakers they would like to share their experience with?

That would make sense why the Government purchased butt loads of stock (read INTEREST or OWNERSHIP) in the banks with the 700 Billion $ bail out. They now own interest or stock or moneys or DEBT that people owe the banks! Me: "Well, I have no dollars- I can't pay the bank what I owe them...." Bank: "Well sir, we are now owned by the US government and if you don't pay us, we will take everything you have including your house- that we (the government) have the loan to" Me: "crap."

Very true.

LOL!!! Sometimes you can find stuff relatively cheap if you keep an eye out.
