^^^ Believe it or not, it sounds pretty much the same (1 ti vs 1 ED sq10) - the cool thing with the ED sub that its only 3" deep.

Thanks, but the rsd probably won't fit, I'm pretty sure its deeper then the ed sub.

I got the sub to save room, its a pretty decent sub for $70

Look what's coming out of the closet...

Post by vin78 »

My current ADS speakers replaced these. Now that I'm tying to make my car more suited for everyday driving, I'm going to make smaller kick panels...I'll miss my ADS speakers:(

Also, look what FedEx dropped off today.
A second SQ10. The 400w that my rear channels of my x200.4 makes is a little too much for just one.

I finally finished installing the second SQ10, and all I could say is that 2 is definitely better then one!

I gotta get this metered. My old ti10's (2) powered by a 800.1 ti was metered at around 133. Its a little unfair to compare the two set-ups because the ti's were firing towards the trunk while these fire into the cabin along with double the power. These sound like they should be close. :)

Here's a pic of my clear coated x200.4 BTW, I shoed this to Erin a few months ago when he was still with PG.
I might have to add a few more layers of clear coats to fill in the brush marks.
