  1. Back when I was 17, after buying my first car I auditioned a lot of speakers and ended up buying focals for my first set of door speakers. There were many I liked, but there's ONE particular set that stuck with me thru the years. The Hertz HSK165s. Fast Forward 7yrs Later and I'll now be glassing 2 sets running them active for the ULTIMATE front stage!! I cannot WAIT to start my rebuild! Starting panels next month!!

      Thanks everyone for their opinions... I don't find many ppl running them, but I've heard nothing but great things from the mayhems.

      Do these subs like big enclosures or would they work in smaller enclosures??

      Look at a FI Q... Add the fully loaded options.. TADA. AA Havoc

  4. Would 300rms be a huge difference to the ear? I'm interested in the nendo bc2k but after seeing the clamp test on the sympony 1500 being right around 1900, is it worth spending almost $200 extra for a 300rms difference?

      Hey pal...short answer is no. Double the power for 3dB increase, 10x the power for 10dB Decibel is logarithmic function!

  6. Why don't anyone run sealed enclosures anymore? I've never personally had one, but are curious to why There's almost ZERO builds on here with one?

      Thanks fellas, I wasn't for certain as I've only ran ported enclosures, but now I know!!!

      3rd loudest build ive ever had was a sealed style.... i loved it. DGAF what anyone says.

  7. Would a Crescendo C1100.4 be overkill or perfect for a set of Hertz HSK165XL & Hertz HCX165 (rear fill coax).. Or would the Symphony 800.4 be good enough?

      Not sure about the SQ side of things but I can't hear my rear speakers over my front stage. Like.. At ALL

    3. Wood

      Wood

      @Jeff I'm Definitely not using rear deck speakers.. its for the rear doors... I'm not trying to get too lud, because that in turns make a lot of weight due to equipment... since i'm lowering my car on springs and not coils, I'm just going to stick to the sa'a on a nendo bc2000d

      @snow I thought the same thing, and my last setup I only ran a set of morels on a 2 channel for my front stage... well, I sat in a demo truck like a week ago and he had rear door speakers... and he shut them off to demonstrate the how "rear ambience" that can go missing without something filling the rear and man it makes a BIG difference SQ wise, loudness not a real difference, but DEFINATELY SQ wise, esp with a trained ear (I freelance audio engineer so I have a pretty decent set of...

  8. So I entered the world of Front Stage only because of SMD and enjoyed saving $$ while keeping the sound quality with no rear fill... well I heard a setup that has rear fill but was active and tuned with the proper TA and OMG its sounds AMAZING!!! Esp considering it had 4 15s with only rear coax and a 3way front stage... hmmm too do or not to do!!! (not in the rear deck, just in my rear doors.. say no to 6x9s lol)

  12. I wish XS Power Made a D3400R .... It sucks having reverse polarity in my car :( looks like I'll be resorting to the D5100R this time... I dont like the look of a jumper wire from my harness to the positive terminal... just looks tacky!
