But what i'm trying to emphasize here is that I don't have an aftermarket system and am just trying to beef up the factory electrical system, it helped with my rough idle in my 350z, but all I did back then was the grounding kit.

so what good would adding a cap to the battery do?

ok, look at ebay item #330215863877 for an example. I'm actually not running an aftermarket system at all, it's impossible to get an aftermarket HU in the 04-08 TL (not impossible, but not worth the effort) I'm just doing a big three upgrade (and some extra grounds to look cool :) ) to hopefully smo...

I was told by an individual (less knowledgeable than yourselves) that a ground kit and "big three" upgrade is far less effective without a "voltage stabilizer", and one can be purchased on ebay for roughly 50-100 dollars. it seems like bunk, but I'd like to be sure, what say you,...

seriously? It's that bad? Why the heck would manufacturers never advise against it? I've been running amps this way for a decade and this is the first one that failed, and it's also one of the higher quality ones i've run!

OK so I put a system together for my dad's Town Car - Eclipse nav head unit PG Xenon 200.4 Amp PG RSD 6.5 Components on front channels PG RSD 12 on bridged rear I ran a single 4ga cable for both power and ground, solid ground, shortest lengths of each wire possible, used raammat in the doors, pulled...

capitalist!

yeah I was being facetious, apples & oranges kinda thing.

I'm curious, I've got the eclipse cd5000 deck running to the rsd500.4, bridging the back half on a rsd10. two questions here, how do you use the DMM to set the voltage? also, is there a graphic representation somewhere on LPL/HPL x-over? it just says 40-400 hz and you pretty much have to guess where...

The RSD's are like Plato while the Diamonds are like Nietzsche.

I read on DIY that you can't hear less than 1-5 if I recall correctly

well these were pretty cheep, if I really like the horny sound (ha ha ha) then I'll upgrade in the near future, this is mostly to test the water.

Errin - horns are the ID CD1E v.2 Minihorns, Eric at ID recommended crossing them over in the 1000-1200 hz range. Audiophiliac- I'll consider that if you can come down a bit, a pair of the carbon fiber woofers like the ones you're mentioning just sold on ebay for 112 dollars and they are essentially...

I just bought a pair of ID mini horns, anyone know a good midbass to compliment?

I'm not trying to be a dick, i'm sorry, I was just really expecting something else

and I really wanted to come up with an outlandish metaphor, it's been a couple days.

What in the name of shit is wrong with you? that isn't music, it sounds like a bunch of autistic kids found musical instruments and a keg of red bull in the same room.

does anyone here run ribbon tweeters or have experience with them? I'm thinking about playing with them for the next car I do, going active 2 or 3 way.

better yet, cough up another 60-80 bones for 100 sq feet of some cheep stuff like fatmat, and use it on the floors. Raammat is vastly superior, but I think that assuming you're using something of a comparable thickness & weight that using it on a horizontal surface should be fine. I'm a Raammat-...

is it bad to use the ol' "pop the speaker with a 9volt or a cordless drill battery" trick to see what goes where?

screw it. I'll use the stock locations and if I don't like it I'll sell the stuff for different components.

I could sell the rsd components and get some components that would be more "tweets-in-a-pillars-friendly"...

yeah but i spent like a week sound dampening that thing, I don't just wanna slap em in place. I wish kicks were feasible...

well after pulling off the driver's kick, there ain't no way in hell I'm getting 6.5" woofers in that beeatch without HEAVY modification and a lot of wire-moving. We're going with heavily dampened doors and stock location for the woofer. stock tweet location too errin? they'll still sound prett...

OK, but not in the a-pillars out of phase, right?
