  1. steve, you say that you are supposed to leave the eq settings to flat while tuning- until its done...i understand that, but after the system is done being tuned, the eq can be changed on the hu? i am not saying that i would necessarily boost the shit out of everything, just enough to get it to sound not-so-flat. i havent really been able to find anything on that topic.

    Thanks,

    Brandon

  2. Yeah I am aware of the by 9's in the rear deck but they are a PITA to get to (atleast they were on the 07 Altima I did for a friend), we decided to instead use the rear door for a second set of comps. The hole is there and all you need is a depth extender like this http://www.sonicelec...on-SP-DE65.html to get the 6.5's to mount in the rear doors. I just figure I give you a little hint hint to make life easier, at the end of the day it's up to you to decide placement :good:

    right, but ive got to basically tear the car apart do sound deadener on everything-especially the rear deck, so it wont be so bad. i appreciate the thought and advice though

  3. This is just me, but I wouldn't buy my friend used stuff. You sure you really need to spend that kind of coin on an alternator for that size system?

    well, ive had tons of great luck buying used equipment. havent been ripped off yet. and what kind of an alternator and how much would pay for it if you were running 4000 watts rms?

    And im also leaving him some room to upgrade if he wants to in the future!

    Good call on the future-proofing.

    So if the used equipment goes tits up you're gonna spring for replacements? Just playing devil's advocate here. I know that if I was paying someone to install a system in my car, I wouldn't want used parts. Also, if I paid someone to install a system in my car and an amp went bad, then I'd expect them to replace it. Are you prepared to do that?

    well, we have discussed the options on buying used equipment already, and its assumed that with the money that he is saving, there is the risk of something failing. turns out that after the last couple days of buying all kinds of stuff, i actually was able to get basically everything i want for that budget.

    Again I would reconsider the rear deck option, not only is it a bitch to get to...it's a bitch to get to plus again the rear doors have the housing for 6.5" speakers all you need to buy is a mounting ring and you're set the hole and the door grill is already there.

    idk what you mean bro, there are already speakers in the rear deck.

    and instead of actual speaker hole and grille, its just a little cubbie in the rear doors.

  5. hello everyone, ive got a build that im doing in a 2005 nissan altima 3.5 and i just bought a brand new fi sp4 15" d1 sub and a crunch gp3000 pro amp. I am looking at doing a bandpass box in the trunk ported through a self made ski hole in the center armrest in the back seat. But i dont even know where to start with ratios, or airspace in the ported vs sealed side, or how many sq inches or port or port length that would work well. my demensions that im planning on working with is 18 high, 34 wide, and 28 deep. That would just be a simple square box that would slide in and out of the trunk. i can squeeze about 2 more cubes IF NECESSARY, but everything will be a lot more complicated when it comes to designing. so without squeezing more room, it gives me 9.92 cubes GROSS with no disp. do you guys think i can work with that or need more room? suggestions?

    Also, tuning freq suggestions would be nice too. the goal is to be able to play mostly mainstream rap, and some lower stuff. (this is not intended to be a system that will only play chopped and screwed music)

  6. I wouldn't do the rear deck but instead just do rear speakers in the rear doors they already have the speaker grill and hole just no speaker. Just leave the rear deck empty and deaden it or port through it. As for sub amp I would look for something better at that price maybe look for a used Crescendo 2k as for the Stinger Roadkill if you use Stinger10 at checkout you save an extra 10% good until April 22. What's the biggest XS that can go under the hood?

    well im not sure what size battery will fit, but i want to leave the factory battery and put the rest in the trunk. how many ah worth of batteries do you suggest for 3500 watts rms combined with a 240 amp singer alternator?

  7. This is just me, but I wouldn't buy my friend used stuff. You sure you really need to spend that kind of coin on an alternator for that size system?
