haemphyst's new system

This thread needs pictures.Support the12volt.com

Pictures of what? MY system? Not hardly! Right now, you might expect to see my system over at Ghetto Installs (Thanks, Bob ) Soon, tho, kids... soon!It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Post a picture of how you integrated the 3-ways setup into your door panels.  Ghetto or not.  Support the12volt.com

I hope you're not dissapointed by those alpine amps.  I don't have any experience with the PDX series, but I have a lot of experience with with their $200-$400 stuff and there's no doubt in my mind that comparably priced eclipse amps (for highs and mids) are much much better.

If you have no experience with them why post? If you only sell Ford Focus' how can you have an opinion on the GT-40?There is no such thing as free installation!

Here's pics from Bob, during and after the construction of the door panels. On this page we see links to pictures of the mid-bass drivers going into the doors. Here's where I WAS!!! And here's where I'm heading. TD Settings, as they are presently. sqsq, as far as the change to Alpine amps, I think I'm going to be MORE than satisfied... The PDX amplifiers are B&O IcePower modules, just like the new Eclipse XA amplifier line, but in a significantly smaller box. This is the only reason I am swapping to the AlpinesIt all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Well, I now have to sell the last amp! I have yanked them all from my car, and now I have NO TUNES!!! Bob has my NEW amps on order, but I can't buy 'em without the cash from selling all of the old ones first! Help a brother out! Someone PLEASE buy my DA7232! Asking less than HALF of retail price! A REAL 2kW for less than 500 bux, shipped, and insured!It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

OK, kids! I have one more question to ask, before I decide to nail this thing's feet to the floor. In my trunk, I will have about 2.6 cubic feet, gross volume. Option 1: The TCSounds TC1000 wants (for deep extension) 1 cube each, sealed, this will supposedly give me an f3 between 20 and 25Hz. This I can do, I have the space. Option 2: Also recommended is 2.4 cubes, vented with a 4X20 port. Fb of this is 22Hz... (daddy like..), but I would only have space for 1. Slot loading would not be a problem. Plenty of volume for that. If I was to decide on THIS alignment, I'd be dumping the TC1000's in favor of an TC-10 OEM, with the 10 inch PR to go with it. More money, again... fo-hunnert mo dollas! dammit! .6 cubic feet with 1 10" PR, and I can't really find where it says what it'll do, but I'm sure it'd be subterranean! Option 3: A true isobarik (NOT push-pull) configuration, with 1.2 cubic feet, net, on a HUGE slot load. Still making 20 to 22Hz, but 6dB quieter than the dual sealed config. Y'all know I don't REALLY care much about the SPL's... it's all about the cleeeeean... Sorta leaning toward 3, but I'd like some input from other members, please! (You all know who you are, too... ) I like 3, because I could use 1 inch or 1.5 inch MDF, and still have volume to spare.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice.

It WOULD cost, as each of those options would require a complete rebuild of the trunk portion of the system, as I am integrating battery, caps/power distribution, amp rack, and enclosure ALL into the space, and it'll all be one great big "thing". Everything is going to be hidden, and all you are going to see is a grey carpet-covered wall, when you open the trunk lid. (maybe woofer cones, too, I still have not decided which way I'm going to face them...) This is kinda why I was asking peoples opinions FIRST, cause there's TONS of work involved to change it once I'm "done with it". My understanding of the TC-1000 is one of tremendous output for a 10" woofer, so I think one cone surface SHOULD be enough, I just hope I am not over-expecting...

Thanks! I'll be throwing up pics of construction as it happens, and there will be reviews after it's all said and done. I'll also try ot get over to Bob's place before the BBQ goes down, so he can help stir up excitement for this thing!
