Get a set of horns dialed in right and they will loosen yer moose.

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

Now I kinda want my goose loosened! Seriously though, it's so ducking tempting to take my truck to Ray at Sonus and give him money and have him tune it!

How are you tuning? Taking any measurements?

"Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

Could do a 3 way that I want to try one day.. Ported mid bass enclosure under seat playing however low you want to 300 hz.. midrange in kick and horns

If you run HLCD correctly, there will be no reason to have a midrange setup (3 way).

Carnines ... I do not understand your post here. Why would you put a midbass enclosure under a seat ?? Midbass is just as directional as everything else.

Deez .. thanks brother. Just throwing ideas around in my head ...

If I can figure out how to get airspace under the truck, they will go in the kicks.

Gckless, Measurements?

I just hope that going with 8" would not cause some sort of imbalance in the front of the car. I barely had the mock horn I made powered. I used the Crossfire CFA302, and the gain knob was barely at 2/10. The sound was "big" too. You can hear it in the video. The Eclipse crossover was used for the 6.5", and the mock horn had the Lanzar X2 crossed at 2.25K. Not sure if there was some overlapping of both(?). As an example, the JL tweeters if you buy them separately, JL recommends running them at 4K 12db/octave. I need to find what Eclipse recommends for their titanium tweeter. I would guess some where around 2.5K or 3k 12bd/octave. (?).

JCarter, do I run the 8" 80Hz to 2.25K based on a 12db/octave? For now I'm using the Lanzar X3 crossover for now. I'd have to see what 24db/octave makes this bandwidth numbers. Eric pushed for 24db/octave and a starting cut off of 1.2K @ 24db/octave.
