Re: Trying to figure out the best signal path

I have discovered that i cannot run the 66 full active as i had planned. I have basically planned the whole install around it though, so i will go ahead and use it. If i find it isnt giving me what i need, i have a nice M44 and M25 i can put in its place. Hate to do it though. How can i tell a V1 fr...

Re: Trying to figure out the best signal path

I am not sure why the 2nd diagram posted so small :idiot:

The outer box represents the king cab of my truck and will be on approx. 30 degree angle toward the front.

The 66 will need to sit raised up a few inches with the 100's slightly underneath for it all to work in this space.

Re: Trying to figure out the best signal path

Ok, i currently do not have an EQ. One was supposed to be shipped to me but the guy flaked and changed his mind. Also lost an auction on sat. night for another. They were both 215i's. It seems that is all i can find. I am a little cramped for space and not sure the dimensions of a 230 or 232. A roug...

Re: Custom VW system ideas please

Sweet van. Its definitely on its way. I love that you gathered all matching amps, I am doing the same thing. Of course you dont NEED a crossover, but it would add adjustability that you might need with front and rear speakers, especially in a big hollow van. I would say you could def benefit from a ...

Re: Trying to figure out the best signal path

It took a while and i haved changed it around 4 times but here is what i have so far. I have decided against the mixed sub sizes, partly because there are no 15" Xmax for sale locally and partly because the 4x 12" box in the truck currently fits REALLY well. I will change up the top and tr...

Re: A video about copper clad aluminum power wire

Re: Do not laugh....time to buy a minivan!

OOh, ooh, I vote for the V70R. Seriously, stay away from the GM minis (Montana, Silhouette). They are notorious for coolant system problems like upper and lower intake leaks. The bodies rot like no tomorrow as well. You are on the right track by thinking import. Any import will be miles ahead of the...

Re: PG M25 info needed

After looking closer, i see what you are saying. Im not sure why but i always assumed the m25 was on the right side. Its not, lol. so ya, 2 holes for pots, 2 more for RCA inputs and its a 6 channel. The only thing missing would be the output RCAs for the m44. No big deal. My only issue with it is mo...

Re: Small Area Installation

I did a single 10" behind the passenger seat of a 94 with the amp behind the driver. The seat was sitting pretty far up. Girlfriend didnt like it much. They are a very small cab. Your best bet for space would be a console box. If you have buckets that is.

Re: PG M25 info needed

This is something like i wish to do. If only there was a way to just swap it out, but im sure the inputs and all the pots will not line up without drilling\filling holes. Too bad, i do have another M25 i could use for this.

Re: Trying to figure out the best signal path

So the more i think about it, the more i think im am kinda screwed. I really wanted to use the 66 as a centrepiece but the fact it only has 4 input channels and doesnt work ideally with my current Xover is a real bummer. I do have an M44 and an M25 to use but it just doesnt have the same presence. I...

Re: Trying to figure out the best signal path

Ok, i will try messing around with a program and see if i can come up with a diagram. Good point about the 66 only having 4 input channels. I am also planning on using 2 M100s for sub duty so i could split the other output from the MX3i. My issue with that is i plan on using 2 different size subs so...

Trying to figure out the best signal path

Hello all, i hope you have had a great New Years. I am just getting over the flu myself. So i have an opportunity to pick up a white EQ230 and am wondering if i even really need it? So far i have a Clarion DRZ-9255, a PLD1 which i may use to boost the voltage, before turning it down before the amps....

Re: First owned PG product?

I remember them well. I bought a purple Sapphire SA3.0x and a pair of XS 10DVC in the summer of 97. Along with a fuse holder, a bunch of 4 gauge and some RCA's (dont remember what series). I put them in my 84 Dodge ram and have been a believer ever since.
