If I was good at photoshop, I could post up any number of proto amps I have here to keep people talking for years

Only after the Lvl 5 tweeters are finished

Sadly, not everyone understands what all goes into production of any product. They are quick to say fuk that, X product is cheaper and just as good. While Steve won't comment on the improved SQ quality, which is understandable as SQ is very subjective, It's not hard to take in the specs of this wire vs X mass produced brand to see the difference will make a difference SQ wise. While you may not hear a tonal difference, it sure is nice to not have to deal with the random crackling sound, or a slightly muted channel because the end has a short.

I just want to say to anyone who is put off about the price is to look into doing quality products yourself. Not only can good ends cost you a buck to 100 bucks EACH end, Quality coax or Twisted is difficult to find. There is an overload of crap wire in the market. I see it all the time in CCTV. just cause it looks the same, is called the same, doesn't mean it will perform the same. Nothing worse then running 1000ft of cheap and good in the same conduit, to see the quality difference be night and day on the screen. Yes, I did say 1000ft Then once you spend all this money for supplies, you have to take the crackhead time to solder them all together. Even if you think you are somewhat good at soldering, you will be challenged in a simple task as this. Hitting all those pins without having too much wire exposed, not getting the wire too hot to melt the inner jacket AND not getting the pin too hot and melting the support takes time, practice, and patience. I make my own rca's and trust me, Steve's prices are way cheaper then what I would charge

I had a chance to get my hands on both these / try to break / void the warranty the other day and I was impressed with the quality. Very good quality wire, and the ends are exactly what a quality end should be. Finish in the solder joints and protection of the solder joints are great.

These things take awhile to produce and get right 1st time out. I've seen the revisions 1st hand and they are worth the wait. Besides making revisions to any product is expensive. Tooling is no joke. It doesn't take but a very few times to be deeply invested into a product.

Truf. it use to be that you had to see the person face to face to talk shit. Hell even a phone call was hard if they didn't have this new thing called "call waiting" Now these pussies talk crap from their parents computer. You know the old saying Steve. No one even sees who throws the first punch

pearl white with some flake in it. Pearl pastel pink is Steve had any balls to do it

Steve, Since everyone else is telling you what you should build, I figured I would as well. You should get a case that is off white, not bright white, not flat white, not antique white, but one that is egg shell white. It's what I would do when spending Chicken's money

Sitting in the garage, and having one hooked up in a car are 2 different things. Batteries properly stored will be fine. Newer cars have electronics that are always on. Over time, they will drain any battery no matter how nice or new it was. Same goes for setting an alarm system and letting it sit for months on end.

5 months without at least a charge now and then is pretty harsh on any battery. It sounds like you are assuming their isn't a slow drain within the electrical system somewhere. I would suggest the next time you invest in a battery, that you also invest in a battery tender.

Kingsuv approved. You may proceed

Looks like a little wider spider landing?

Its interesting, throught my entire career of installing/car audio retail store owner I never sold that many 8's But since we started selling them we sold ALOT of 8's I was amazed at how many people buy them. I have one in my own car and smashes. And it took me bugging you long enough to make them Now produce me a 800x2 KTHXBYE

Piston driver cone 6.5's like the old RF drivers. Nice comp set, not the pro driver shit everyone is copying right now. shallow mounts.

4 Pages over a damn invoice.............. By the way Mario, there is a freight offload fee when I have to fire up the forklift. I think when I build the framework, I will use the extra long screws so they pop out of the roof. Then we can call the car pinhead.

Well, it is fused within 18" of the battery.

Yup. If I can tweak crappy speakers to sound better then life is good

If I can make changes to the speaker enclosure to better match the overall response I am looking for out of my soundstage, without the use of processing to do it,then I'm sold

Jesus. between this, the VU-din and VM-1 i'll be spending quite a bit of money here soon. I can't wait to get my hands on this one. It will be very interesting to actually see what is going on with how my system is set up and help me make some changes to improve on it.

I think a sealed box is easier to fuck up then ported. IB is a great choice in a true SQ setup. It's allows the sub to help breath into the setup and not overpower it.

If you actually build boxes in a shop and not just grab prefabs out of the stock room, then designing and building a ported box takes no more time then sealed.

I think it is important to ask what do you consider SQ in regards to the substage? For me, I am finding out now that I don't like to "hear" the sub but rather feel it add to the overall presence of the music. I think when your ears draw you back when you hear the subs, it's too much in the overall sound of the car. SQ is the exact opposite of what we are looking for in spl.

What I have found when sealing off the trunk is the cabin peak skyrocket. If you don't have the extra airspace of that trunk anymore, You will need to adjust your box tuning. Or find a class where you can bang with windows down.
