crw092782 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Sounds like a good sounding system build ... But sorry to say, not Sound Quality (Yes, there is a diference) ... First thing I would be seeking out would be a great pair of components for the front stage and work with tweeter positioning. I know what SQ means. I was just saying that part of me would rather go to a more SPL build given the low cost of the subs. I am still checking in to component sets for the front. I just realized that I have 5.25's in the rear though. Makes my ocd kick in knowing they are not the same size front and back. lol I will probably swing back and forth 20 times before I order anything. It's what I do) Hearing a nice SQ setup is enough to make me want to build one of my own. 2004 Pontiac Vibe Build Sony MEX-N5000BT JBL P660C x 2 Sundown Audio Zv4 18 Crescendo BC2000D Crescendo S800/4 Execution Audio 0 AWG Wire Sky High Car Audio RCA's Toolmaker Terminals XS Power D1200 DC Power 240HP Alternator Viper 5706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 In the long run, a true SQ vehicle can equate to being cheaper than a number chasing SPL vehicle. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

They should work great as is giving you that rear ambience effect. Kenwood / HELIX / Linear Power (For The Love Of Music) / Brutal Sounds / OverKill Electric Co Questions About Sound Quality ??

BoomZoom808 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I've always been curious about that train of thought. Wouldn't you distort off the head unit power before the rca's output distorts to the amps? 2010 Mazda 3s 2.5L Pioneer DEH-X9600BHS Knu OFC 1/0 SS Platinum AGM / XS Power XP750 Alpine PDX F-4 / Morel Maximo 5 + Coax 5 IA 10.1 / SSA XCON 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you distort off the head unit power before the rca's output distorts to the amps?Not sure what you are getting at brother ?? Are you asking if you can use the radio outputs and RCA outputs at the same time ?? Sorry I think I was mashing two concepts together. I know you can use speaker outputs and RCA outputs at the same time. I guess my question is wouldn't you clip from head unit power before rca's run through an amp because of the RCA's having a higher clip/distortion point. I have seen it suggested quite a few times to run the rears off an aftermarket head units speaker outputs. Then you would use the RCA out's from the aftermarket head unit to bi-amp some components or run all 4 channels of an amp up front. 2010 Mazda 3s 2.5L Pioneer DEH-X9600BHS Knu OFC 1/0 SS Platinum AGM / XS Power XP750 Alpine PDX F-4 / Morel Maximo 5 + Coax 5 IA 10.1 / SSA XCON 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Mainly depends on the characteristics of the headunit used in the application ... some you can ... some you can't.

crw092782 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 With this being my daily driver I am going to do it in stages. I ordered all of my deadener last night so I should have 50 sq ft delivered tomorrow. Once I get everything in, I am going to focus on a nice set of components up front for now. I figure it would be best to drop them in the factory locations for now, and then fiberglass a second set on the pillars later. I want to do it in sections to keep initial costs down, but so I can also hear the difference between each step. i.e. adding a 4-channel amp vs using head unit power. 2004 Pontiac Vibe Build Sony MEX-N5000BT JBL P660C x 2 Sundown Audio Zv4 18 Crescendo BC2000D Crescendo S800/4 Execution Audio 0 AWG Wire Sky High Car Audio RCA's Toolmaker Terminals XS Power D1200 DC Power 240HP Alternator Viper 5706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
