Let me try to enlarge my 'garage door opener' and 'business cards' again. These are the 'in progress' pictures. I should finish up this weekend.

This revision of the system is:

Stock head unit and amp---->Two Zapco hi-lo converters, one on the front out one on the sub out----->Zapco DSP6------->Zapco DC1000.4 bridged to 2 channels on a pair of Audio Technology H18 7" mids, Zapco DC1000.4 bridged on a pair of ScanSpeak D2904 tweeters, 2 Zapco DC1100.1's, one on each sub(Fi 12Q dual 1's).

575 x 4 for the mids, tweets and 2200 x 2 for the subs. The 1800cca battery should get a pretty good workout.

What kind of improvements do you experience with the DSP6? I was seriously considering getting one, but have heard mixed reviews as far as ease of use and impact on SQ. Also, I'm not sure where I might install it for easy access while keeping the stock look.

Also, I don't see any external crossovers...are you running active?

Great set-up!!

Running all active. With DC amps and DSP combined I have 30 bands of parametric EQ per speaker. The software does take some getting used to at first. Now I don't think I could live without it.

Nice!! Do you have an iPod linked into the system? If so, which hook-up do you have?

Regarding competing...do you know of any competitions in Northern California? I'd like to enter my rig to see how it compares in a SQ category...

There's not any MECA shows that far west I know. Check with IASCA and USACi. Maybe they still have some out there.

www.iasca.com
www.soundoff.org

Years ago that part of the country was the hot spot. But its been dead out there for years. There are enough MECA shows here that there is no way i can make them all.

Later!
