  1. It's all personal preference. I'd personally pick the CDT's over the MB Quarts any day and twice on Sunday. I bought the older ones just to test because there is no where to demo them and after having them I will only be using CDT's and recommending to everyone I know. These aren't even their middle line speakers.

  2. Well, I will at lest deaden the hell out of the cargo door and take of the lights and trim and deaden those as well. I can't stand rattles.

    Also since it will be a couple of months before I get to the new subs I'm going to build a new box for these tens. See what happens.

    Doing the math now and it's fucked. 2.5 ft3 net with 50 sq" port and about 55" long = 30 hz. Will be fun. Maybe I can build it next weekend.

  3. yeah, its a work in progress....got my front stage, cd player, and 1/2 the sound deadening done. Still need new rear door speakers and a more powerful amp for my fronts (I'm going to switch the amp for my fronts now to my rears) Audiocontol matrix, then alt, Kinetik hc2400 for main, second battery, then the subs then the MUTHA of all amps T400001. See how long all that takes me. Then the alpine DVA 9965 cd player then upgrade my font stage to the CDT gold line and add a monitor to my center console and a couple of headrest monitors and I promised my boy a PS2 in the car. Then maybe add a second T40001

    Think that's enough? ICE is never done

  4. I wanted to wait until I could get some 15's , but no longer could. Needed something so I threw in my old enclosure out of my Jetta. I knew it would be quieter but it's better then nothing. And I did lose 4-5 db's and I can't believe all the trim rattles I need to get rid of, but now I know and can do it before I get BIG bass.

    Here are some pics, amazing how small this looks compare to how it looked in the Jetta.

    Can't wait to upgrade but now that I have at least some bass I can hold off just long enough to do exaclty what I want; 2x 15" Fi btls and a Rockford T40001. Also, gives me time to do power upgrades.

  5. Backwards is the easiest way to get them to sound good. Firing forward requires sealing off the trunck, baffle forward, which is time consuming. Faicn the subs backwards keeps fom cancellation problems as well as sealing off the trunk. IMO sealing the trunk off and firing forward is best, but firng backward is easy. Here is a right up that compares firing back compared to forwrd without sealing the trunk http://www.installer.com/tech/aiming.html and read onto part two.

  6. i didn't see where he said those were his. maybe he is hoping people will think it is his, but if someone calls him on his shit he can be like "well I never said it was mine". I know quite a few people who do that and it is pretty shitty if you ask me.

    That's why you need to call them on it. :angry: Alot of bastards out there. Gotta call bullshit when you see it.

    I just poted a question see if he fesses up.

    I know it's just a basic install for a front stage amp, but it's still my new baby.

    BTW, I only used old stuff from previous installs. Hell, the two red 4ga. cables are over 6 yrs old. My point is no matter what your using show some pride and at least keep it clean. I've seen alot of amp installs with a ratnest of cables and wire all over the place and I've hald my tongue, but come on guys there are alot of examples in here to learn from. Do something with it. You don't have to be a greatest fiberglasser or box builder just take your time and whatever you decide to do, do as well as you can....Okay I'm off my soapbox. :rolleyes: So what do you think

    Tomorrow I get to start soundeadening my doors. Then I need to build some pods for the tweeters in my A-pillars. and then and then and then and then the madness never stops!!! :wacko::wacko::wacko:
