  1. The amount of knowledge on this forum is unreal, BUT what good is it if you going to bash people for not knowing what you know? INSTEAD OF TALKING DOWN, HOW ABOUT YOU GROW TF UP AND ACTUALLY SPREAD THAT KNOWLEDGE!!

  2. How many "secondary" batteries should I run with a 4k setup? I'm being told I need 3 100ah batteries in addition to a starting battery and my Singer 265a. Is this true?? Thats a HELL of A LOT of weight for my car esp being a Daily!!

  3. Is it true that the general consensus is that forward firing sealed is meter louder but rear or upfiring sounds better for a trunk build?

  4. anybody know where to get a Flush trim bit for my router? 1/4" shank thats 3/4" long so I can flush all of my 3/4" MDF that home depot cut and F'd up?

  5. 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?

      @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...

  6. Does 45s in the corner of the box really matter? I ask because I'm about to order a design and wanted to know if I could get away without adding it because I don't have the tools or experience to make 45s

      ive been told they help, but they always hurt the score. Many different variables, ive also heard keep the box as square as possible.

      Does it look like my car is even CLOSE to being rice? GTFOH lol

      @Karkov it's more for sound but I don't mind reaping the extra benefits from it... But I'll be getting exhaust, intake and my second set of hertz next week, so I'm getting the best of both worlds!

  8. 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!

      Flip the battery around backwards, install custom battery terminals made to have the XS power brass battery posts bolt to them. Bam, D3400R.

      i never noticed the battery was shot because my other batteries would start the car. for a month it should be okay if you want to save money get a deka group 34. it cost $160

      @Miguels I had no idea about deka! I was looking into XS Power Group 34s and if I can save $100 I'm all for it!!! Thanks bro

      @Boom I actually ended up with Sa's .. Decided to go with a smaller project to start so I can get my car exactly how I want (coilovers, rims, aftermarket sunroof, retrofit projectors) then I'm going to upgrade! I'm seeking more of an overall appeal rather then JUST audio

      Bhe, MMD, are all good builders. Also, I'll raise my hand. Talked with mike for about 2 hours last night. He's busy. Id take no Offence to him SAYIN that. He's on a personal build right now, that is consuming every moment of free time. That dude is amazing in every level of audio. Alts, shit, that's just one arm of his body of knowledge. Good luck bro. Hope it goes well. :)

      i like putting ham and cheese on my waffles as soon as they come out of the toaster, so i get a waffle sandwich that is all warm cause it just came out of a toaster. Also he asked, begging is repeated and whatnot.

  21. I've been planning my dream daily trunk build since January! I have only one month until I buy the last pieces to start building and 2 more months from that from firing it up!! I have NEVER been SOOOO PATIENT!! I hope this build comes out better then I expect because I spend EVERYDAY (Literally) Planning, Revising, and Sketching up EXACTLY what I want!! And thats for it to be Clean, Loud, Balanced, Show Ready but Most of all: EFFICIENT!!! Its going...

      They are nice, but a little hard to slide on. I have that now in my buick. I can probably find seats for a couple hundred out of a wrecked SS.

  24. 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?

      Overall Design wise, sealing off is the better option, but when I have passengers and have to lift my seats up then My system is useless.. at least with rear fire, sound can go thru the rear deck speaker holes :/

      @Tecomah and thats another thing, I don't want to go thru a whole seal off just to be disappointed! I've heard other members cars sealed off, but honestly the bass doesn't sound as "full" as rear fire. I mean the bass is there don't get me wron...
