in my profile is the picture of the sub,we can build a box for basically free as I have half a sheet of wood still at Larry's from my floor build,the ID10s are great,hold about 300w,clean sound,and it is sitting under bed so you can get for probably cheaperthan CJsold to me....lol.......lets say for about the same as the SQ10 with no shipping,and we can build box for free short of calking,....maybee $4 cost.........hey it is the PNW we get it done.

I only used the used subs in my build and cannot seem to blow them up.....and have about 50w to each over what they handle........they are great subs......and loud,and massage great in a sealed box.......lol........ported they might not be so good but sealed they are great.....sealed you also can go with smaller box,one that will fit it=either in the spare or nest to it with floor over spare,I have that much wood left to work with I think.........no need to buy materials when we have on hand......

 

Those were the Diamond Audio Hex Components. I had the tweeters wired out of phase and they sounded really good. In phase, they were very harsh. If you want to play around with them, I can bring them to the meet this friday.

 

oh yeah bring them........i am tires of the ED tweeers.......even out of phase they are too much.......lol..........they are loud tooooo loud..........


looks as if me and you are building Kevs system......cool huh.....should be fun to do a car other than ours.........lol............by the way what did yoi do whth the BA they were scary took al the trunk but god they were loud...........scarey loud.......lol

 

omg.. i just listened to the focal 165 v1 / a1..

these are fawking sick compared to the rest. A1 online seem to go for 219. V1 goes for 269.

Anyone have them and have any opinions?

 

They were too bright for me when I listened to them in my buddy's car. But thats just me. I like my tweeters laid back and not in your face. Thats why I ended up with DLS Ultimate up6i.

 

^ I'll have to give those a listen then.. cheaper too? haha

btw, the decked just shipped. I talked about it to a few local audio shops and they kept trying to upsell me other ones that were just ok. They pushed kenwoods a ton but I didn't really like the UI

 

regular price $385 from an authorized dealer. I got them $280 on sale. $255 from ebay.

 

Pushy audio shop?..... i take it you went to Cartoys? lol

 

^hahahaha wow..yup, you got me.. i had to see what they were like

 

One day i went in there to look at a single DIN Pioneer Premier deck for $400 and the guy asked me a few questions and instantly showed me a Kenwood DNX8120 deck that at the time was going for $1599. They're paid by commission if you can't tell already. lol

 

Haha.........yeah try Cartoys salesmen........oh god I had to leave last year,I just wanted a car alarm,simple huh........sad part was I ended up at Bestbuy.......lol,and they still screwed up the install,my HIDs flash with the panic button and I cannot find the pin to make it stop that function.......

You are gonna like the DLS.........they are very clean sounding,and balanced,and go freaking loud without the ringing sound most tweeters get.

 

^ DLS ultimate it is.. found it for 255 on ebay

Now on to amps..

dl ultimate up6i
Frequency range 50 - 20 000 Hz
Sensitivity 88 dB (1W/1m)

then sub down the line.. what kind of amp 4/5 chan amp would fit this setup?

alpine MRP-F600 sound good enough?

http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/prod...odel=MRP-F600F

Per channel into 4 ohms: 100W x 4 (1% THD)
Per channel into 2 ohms: 150W x 4
Brigded 4 ohms: 300W x 2

or would a pdx work better? Mono or not? >_<

 

what sub are you looking at?

 

I'm still thinking about the elemental designs enclosure.. then I have to look into flat subs.. if not.. the ED one has / Power Handling : 125/250 WRms

 

although I love ED's other subwoofers, the sq10 sub did not impress me and didn't have very much output. I would suggest looking at flat subs made by pioneer, kicker, mtx, soundstream, and memphis audio.

 

the sub is actually included so I'll just pick up another one and make sure it's the right depth for the enclosure if I go that way.. Brian, I know you said we could make one down the line.. I'm still considering that too =)

 

ok.. so I'm going w/ the dl ultimate up6i in the fronts.. which are 180w a piece. Then with a 300w sub, that'll be around 700.

so a amp that can handle those should be good? 800-1000??

 

what size speakers did you guys get for the front ? and did it fit or did you have to get an adapter ?

 

6.5" and you have to make or get speaker baffles. You get them from doc I for like 15 or 20

 

6.5 circle or oval ?
