Haha, this is true. Almost no help is to be offered there, but it does have some good deals in the FS section, as well as some decent comedic relief

We should get together sometime dude, I'm down in Middle River now, just past Essex. White Marsh is only 15 minutes up the road! Wish we could do another local meet... Maybe I can sponsor one lol

So I have everything installed...running the speaker wires through the grommet in the doors wasn't all to bad, I was expecting harder.

I took me about 6hours to install everything including mounting the horns. I wish our dash was a little bit higher since mounting the horns below the dash, now I foot hits the motor a bit when coming off the clutch.

Then I played with the DSP control for about an hour before I had to go to a bbq. The DSP controls are so intuitive! SOooo many functions, its going to take a while to tune. I tuned it a little bit, and then on my HU I made some slight tweaks on the EQ and now it sounds ok. I hope the shop I bought the amp from he said he will get a RTA in soon, so then I will go back and tune it again.

All in all I am so far very impressed, the sound output is nuts, now I can easily overpower my subs, I didn't think I would have that problem, but now I do!
The horns are crazy loud, the input voltage on the amp's dsp is at the minimum with -12db gain and it can carry itself with the midbass which I set the input voltage to half and 0db gain.
I can't wait to fully dampen my doors, they are halfway dampened right now.

I have the midbass bandpass crossed at 80hz-2000hz at 24db slope and the horns highpass at 2000hz at 24db slope. I tried to get the horns to play at 1200hz and above but for some reason I cannot get the dsp to stay put, I will have to try it again.
