      You're a good sport.

  3. look for planet audio on ebay . not sure if they are worth the money or not
  4. if you are on a budget and unsure of what you really want at this , maybe you should look for some quality name brand subs on ebay find a hand full of auctions that are low bids and watch them count down and try to get them cheap in the last minute , i say hand full because chances are most of them will get bid up , if you buy something cheap enough it's no big deal if you don't like it as long you haven't overpaid to get .
  5. alot of trial and error is your best bet to make this set up work as sound can be somewhat mysterious at times . if you prefer sound quality to volume i would stay with the sealed box . now that i have thought about it a while i think i would try adding some poly fill acoustic damping material inside your box and see if that improves it any
  6. i would say multiple amps so you better tune and refine it all
  7. most amps bass boost is around 50 hz you might try turn the bass boost on your down a little and see if it flattens out any , otherwise it sounds to like that's just going be how these subs are which would be ok if you only listened to rap i suppose .but if your like me you want your system to sound good playing anything. i had some alpine type r's and didn't care for them because of a wacky response curve kind of like the one you talk about . part of response problem could be do to the acoustic characteristics of your vehicle . you could try to figure it out but you might have better luck going shopping for some new subs .
  8. in that price range you could pick up some c3's from jl audio or alpine type x components but i myself am skeptical as to whether or not you would get your money's worth out either of those , but i would still be willing to give either of those a try . i have had some jl audio tr full range speakers and they were ok , right now i have alpine type s that i picked up used and cheap and i am happy with them for how cheap i picked them up they are better than many stock speakers .what ever you get, running on a good amplifier is the way to get the best sound . i have had my eye on jl audio's c5-653 3-way component set for a while now , i am kind of curious about cerwin vega for car after i picked up vegas for my house , like the mids and highs on my vegas in my house
  9. first off bose does some different things with there designs , i would expect to find 1ohm drivers or 2 ohm drivers or possibly 6 ohm 8 ohm 12 ohm ? so powering them with an aftermarket amp may be a learning experience to get it right , no you most likely will not find a gain setting on the bose amp . i would try a sound processor or line driver if you wish to keep the bose equipment ,but personally after owning 8 different models of bose speakers over the years for my house stereo , i wouldn't feel bad about loosing the bose gear to replace it with something better
  10. out of those 2 i would say kenwood as well ,but i happen to have a cda-9851 right now as well and i think my next deck will be another alpine although my other car has a pioneer that's about a year old and i was pleasantly surprised with the pioneer's performance
  11. well of course i am on a budget and rather thin one so mcintosh is probably out of the question for now, but i figure there has to be something descent in between the high end and low end of amps suitable for home audio . i have looked at a lot of amps , thought about a crown amp even though it's probably meant for pa , looked at older yamaha's like the m-80 which has some impressive specs but also carries a big price tag for a 30 year old used amplifier . i think i am willing to spend more than i have but that's another story but really 300-600 ?
  12. have a pair of cerwin vega e315 speakers but i am not sure what i should get to run them . pa amp ? high receiver like marrantz ? i am currently powering them with my yamaha surround amp which delivers an honest 85 watts rms per channel and it is clean enough that i haven't blown a fuse yet in my speakers .despite the e315's being rated for 400 watts each i do get some volume with this set up due to vegas being very efficient but at the same time that efficiency reveals amplifier's switching noise to . thanx in advance for any help to steer me onto a good amp to run my vegas
