I hate cars

I care and I really appreciate any and all advice. I'm new to this, this is my first attempt at an SQ system so I have no personal experience to fall back on, I rely on others' experiences.

It's funny you mention that. I'm currently renting but I just got a good insurance policy that covers the car when parked at home just because I was installing all of this stuff.

I know it sounds ghetto but I plan to tape the tweeters in different locations and with the mids I may have to cut multiple holes in my stock kicks to see where I like them the best. Hopefully it won't be as critical with a dome but who knows. If I could avoid the leg in the way I would like to do it.

Matt thats probably one of the better ways to do it, it gives you a chance to move it around without permanently mounting it there.

Not entirely sure, but I'll keep an eye and ear out - dyns and/or dls comps

This thread has done a complete 180 from my original post of adding a second mid to the mix.

I've comitted to the Dyn 3-ways.

Not doing the Pdx's due to potential noise floor issues. I'm thinking either a pair of HD 5/900s or a 750/1 and a couple 600/4 amps. Those can wait though since I have amps that will work fine for now.

Alpine corrected the noise issues with the new pdx amps. 2 600/4's would be LOVELY, though.

1 bridged giving each midbass 300 and the 2nd giving the mid and tweets 150 per would be awesome.

How much of a price jump is there between the 342 and 362? Might as well get the 8"

I would LOVE to put the 8s in there, its only a little more. But itlooks like the door panel itself would have to be nodded. The sheetmetal is already cut, that's no big deal but I want to keep the stock look of the doors. The plastic panel was already cut to fit the IDs but its as far as I can go.

Maybe you can get it done before i leave to go back to Louisiana so i can check it out.

I'll definitely try. When are you going back? I should have the comps by next Thursday or Friday and I can have them installed in a couple hours since the doors are already deadened and from the looks of it the tweeters will fill the stock holes perfectly I hope.

As for the mids, I'm going to holesaw the stock kicks until I can afford the custom kicks from Niebur3 which will be another 2 weeks or so. It will look tacky and the mids will be way off axis but hopefully for only 2-3 weeks.

As for the subs, I ordered a month or so ago. Hopefully they will be here any day but I've read the horror stories of 5-6 months from this company so who knows.

Definitely. Just name the time and place.
