Anyone?

I have been doing research for the past week, and can't really find any information on "proper install and tuning" of 3-way components. The best I can find are posts and articles on how to tune the crossovers, time delay, and EQ. Also, there are opinions on positioning, but I am sticking with...

I will soundproof the cabin separate from the trunk. Don't want to put the extra money into soundproofing. It's a big trunk.

Any thoughts?

I am considering Focal PS165F3 "Flax" components and the Hertz HSK 163. Has anyone listened to these and have some opinions on SQ? I listen to mostly rock, blues, and acoustic music. The comp system would be backed up with a 10" subwoofer, and coaxials in the back. Powered by a 120W RMS 4-way...

Hi all. I am getting ready to start buying stuff for my new build and would welcome any comments. My goal is sound quality for acoustic, vocals, blues, and rock at moderate volume levels. Build will be 2-way components in the front and coaxials in the back, with passive crossovers. 10" sub...

How do I "properly tune" my system, with the three-ways and the two-ways? I have seen a two-way, professional install, on this car on one of the forums, so I have an idea about how the speakers would be placed and installed. No idea on the three-way, though. I am a patient and handy dude, so...

Which would have the better sound? Three-way or two-way systems that I mentioned above, assuming it is installed by the shop? Or is my choice between two-way self-install, or three-way shop install? If that is the case, would the three way component system of lower quality still sound better...

I actually don't know what a proper SQ install looks like beyond trial and error. Are there considerations that you would recommend. I am pretty handy and there is space in the doors to aim the mid-range, 3" speakers. The 6" do not have as much flexibility, but the tweeters should also have...

I am heading to my local shop this weekend, having done my research. My intent is to do the install myself and then have them tune it. I will also run the plan past them and this forum before I install the first wire (or piece of sound deadening) so I can avoid mistakes. I don't want to get to...

I am considering the Focal K2 Power 165 or the Focal PS 165 F3. The first set is a 6-1/2" two-way system in their Power/Elite and the second is a 6-1/2" three-way system in their Expert/Performance line. I am not sure which set would give me the best sound. I am going to be using these...

Sorry for the confusion: looking for the correct sub and amp to match the 100.4 with 6.5" component speakers. Not looking for 2000W amp and 3x14" woofers, for example. Also not looking for 50W amp with a 6.5" woofer. What is the correct sweet-spot in between for the music style I mentioned...

I am planning a new system, and thinking that an all-in-one DSP/amp is the way to go for me. Not looking for anything really loud, just maximum clarity for music while rolling. I will also add a SW/amp and sound deadener. The main contenders for me are the Gladen 100.4 DSP (100Wx4 channels)...

Let me know how things are going. I am looking at a very similar system.
