with money in mind, what do you reccommend to do first(or at all for that matter). i am assuming custom kicks would be alot more pricey than a good sound deading job on 2 front doors and trunk, am i right? i am not crazy into ca, just want my stuff to sound best it can without going broke...

i realized the auto-eq on my 8600 was making everything sound like butt. i didn't really think bout it because you can still manually adjust the eq, but i believe the auto gives you a starting point so if that is too low or high you cant fix it. whoever has a pio deck with comp1, comp2, bmx1...

jus the front man. that is where you will be. i have realized per members advice the rear speakers of little importance. just invest in a nice set of comps with an adequate amp and you'll be happy. you can get some nice comps for that budget, but do you have an amp? i got some pg xenons for abt...

i tip for ebay is to try and find someone with stuff you want that lives close (like w/in driving distance) and ask if you can pick it up and check it out before buying or just ditch ebay and make em an offer. i know you not sposed to but whatever. i found a 1 week old pioneer deh 8600 with...

ok, thats what i got now i just am deciding if the advantages of getting close to 300 watts to each speaker in front with tons of headroom, rather that 100 watts to each is worth giving up amplification to my rears. thanks for everything

oh darn, now im not sure what to do. so if i crossed them over at like 100, my hu (pioneer deh 8600) wouldnt be enough to power the low notes? what do you suggest for a good compromise to set the xover at?

real quick, is it true that to get the best imaging and soundstage etc, if you have rear spkrs they should be crossed over so they don't play much highs at all, just lows to add depth. so if this is the case, is like 100 or 125 ish a good point for rears and like 80 ish in fronts?? thanks again

thanks for the advice man. yeh i have worried about just having the front because i think they need quite a bit of sound deadening to get them solid enough midbass to decrease the rear fill. i guess i will have alot of work to do before fall semester starts next month! thanks

remove it as in take the durn things out or run the hu to em?

so...

hey sorry if this question is lamo but i am wondering...i have a JBL 4ch amp (gto 75.4) that puts 104watts rms to each ch. right now i have my pg xenon comps in front running off 2 of the ch and my pg tantrum x coaxes running off the other 2 ch in the rear. the xenons are rated at 150rms each...

if there was no signal to the tip then how could it harm the amp? wouldnt it just act as a butt plugg so to speak?

so a certain amp was damaged by ummm an anonymous gentlemen and it was dropped and the rca's were plugged in and one of the tips broke off in the amp! im just wondering if i wont be using that rca terminal to plug them into, and buy some new rca's ofcourse, could that tip stuck in the input...

thanks! here is some more info: -the amp running 2 chan to the xenon comps and 2 to the pg tantrum coaxes in rear http://www.cardomain.com/item/JBLGTO754II -HU is Pioneer 8600 (not premier version) -here are the xenons givin me a headache http://www.cardomain.com/item/PHOX65 i have had...
