by thumping is it like a test tone? that would be an rca thing in my book. i had an old audio control 4xs go haywire and just burp like a low hz test tone when ever it wanted. then the next minute it would be ok. ended up being a bad sub output on the mother board. not the actual unit but the plug. the soilder came loose. NEUMAN

Ha that's funny, clever username as well. that is rather ammusing. NEUMAN

i have only done a couple trunk escorts. sadly they where all prefab style box builds. no real full trunk stuff. i am doing a full trunk right now ironically. but if i was to play with it i would put the sub forward and port threw the rear deck lid. you will have to angle the faceplate a little but i think the opening is about 15 inches so its not going to be much. that or do a down fire bandpass. ports again threw the rear deck lid and acheive your sealed portion in a shallow large surface area across the trunk. im not really familiar with the treo subs so i don't know how well they like sealed life. but im sure there are plenty of people around here that are.

so you want 4 tens. but cant fit them behind the seats. so your going to put them up high so you band your head on them all the time. and you can't do a blow threw because it will degrade the value of the truck......hhhrrmmmm? i think you're slowly solving your own issue. i for see the answer being you getting out of the stereo game. NEUMAN

nice ray nice. NEUMAN

there is one underlaying issue to thsi question. is the car a daily driver or a bass machine? than will determain the route a lot of people will go with answering this question. NEUMAN

corey - you had a first generation with teh rub surround huh? yes teh spider glue was bad on alot of them. they since changed glues adn teh surrounds are foam. as for the terminal no reason there. everyone else these are hot movers. check in with them regularly. i jsut got 3 set and a 5.25 set 3 weeks ago. mine are all sold to custoemrs waiting for install dates. NEUMAN

they are bright adn crisp. they just aren't tinny sounding like titanium or aluminum tweets. NEUMAN

i have put these in several peoples cars. they are great. for 100 bucks you can't go wrong. im a DD dealer but also so i may be a littel bias. the shallow mount design with good excursion is a double bonus. the 25mm silk tweet is saft soundign yet still loud. only down fall i see to them is that audioque being the sister company has the adjustable slope. other then that they are identical. mounting and power. im about to drop two sets in a mustang fox body as front stage off the DD c5c. so figure that out. NEUMAN

yeah but prefab is so coooool! its amazing the ignorance of some people. please tell me the two tens and two 12's where in the same car at the same time. it would only make this story cooler. LOL NEUMAN

other then the adjustable tweeter db they seem to the be the same as the DD CS6.5's. i have installed 5 sets of the DD's in the last year and not one customer has been disappointed nor have i. i ran them in my daily for about 6 months. great midbass and love power. i ran around 120 rms to them and as long as i had my crossover set to 100hz and above they never bottomed out. NEUMAN

the camaro may be hated by 95% of us but last i checked we where still the 99% not in a magazine feature. caddy is sick! impala is sick! camaro not so much. all of them however i can respect the audio on the same level. NEUMAN

y spilters will not and do not split your voltage in half it will give 4 volts to both amps thats like saying if you have a distro block on your power wire and 2 amps each amp will get 6 volts lol oh noes 6 volts! LOL NEUMAN

with what has been said above i have one question. how do you know when gain matching amps that the amp you are matchings signal is not clipping on second or third amp? i can't view youtube from work....sssshhhhh don't tell im slacking. NEUMAN

dd m1c! i have a box for 4 8's in my shop current;y i would let go cheap. hit me up on facebook or here. NEUMAN

800 bucks is going to score you a nice set of subs or an even better single. NEUMAN

that pictures is for example only. otherwise just use Y's NEUMAN

note two in three out. NEUMAN

yes! NEUMAN

i would use the pass thru on your mid & high amp. last i checked your mid bass didn't drop off at 80-100 hz. use the full range out of the mid & high amp you currently have and cross it over properly. if you wanted a sub up front then you could use teh sub amp as a pass thru. NEUMAN

the salt flats ruins cars! had a friend who used to live down there. he saw the aftermath of 200 mph run cars and what the salt does to the bottom sides of them. also the n2o and a supercharger aren't going to make him any faster on the top end. it just going to get you threw the gears faster. gears are gears poweradders won't change that. NEUMAN yea i didn't think about what the salt does to the cars probably eats them up also steve when we ganna see a 1/4 mile run at the strip? not so much eats them up. but just cakes them like frosting. then in the long term if not cleaned properly the eatting begins!

it is a budget minded build so i have the CS series components. he wasn't wanting to drop change on the germans and i'm a DD dealer. they are a slim mount design and are not super heavy with pretty nice output. just i know the 2 8's in the hatch is going to cabin gain like crazy and i have never run a pair of 8's off 1k either. so its a real cluster. but the outcome will be great. this i know! NEUMAN

its actually a fox body mustang hatch. it happens to be my brothers car i am doing for him. its a full DD setup. 2 - 1508's 1 - cm1000 1 - c5c on the mids mids to be determined NEUMAN

ok guys enough panty snapping. i most likely have enough room for two sets of 6.5's like originally stated. i may enclose the 5.25's or the scond 6.5 in the pod where i will let the second woofer breath. this is all in the planning stage in my head still. i don't have the car here yet. but i do have 5.25's and 6.5 components sitting on shelf waiting await the verdict. any input even if its BS is nice just to hear some opinions.
