I like it... looks almost exactly like the long brown and beige shag I was going to deck the Corolla out with, before it died :(

Ah, memories. Shit, I wish I still had pics of that install. Damn you PG for closing down your forums!

Harddrive crashed. I had another copy on my parent's computer, but they deleted it.

I've played w/ the RSd in its infancy and I wasn't blown away but they were beating the XENON's in nearly every spec that I'd checked out. And that was w/ a GOOD Xenon which were wonderful amps when they were fixed up. Keep in mind this was with some VERY young RSd's.

I need some more backround on this :D :D as I really need to hear some results on em. And by the way welcome to the new forum, BH.

Workin hard... Been crankin out quite a bit of code lately. Sweet creamy Verilog....

Put a stereo in my Fiance's car here a bit ago but it wasn't anything really special. Its all Xenon speakers though... Just a lil hold over of what I had from when I was in PDX. My car still sounds good enough for me and I've not really touched it... :)

Bri's car is a Pioneer Premier DEH-P780MP
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v ... 91,00.html
A VERY nice Ecipse 36501 (good luck finding much about this piece on the net but there is a little out there)
Then a pair of X6.5's and an X10D2 (wired series up to four ohms even though the amp can handle two ;))
Oh yea and she has the Pioneer XM unit and a Pioneer iPod adapter.

Brandon - so far all the rsd amps i have installed have been....fine.

they have all gone into odd applications (like this pilot with them getting shitty signal) so it is not really fair to give them any kind of analysis yet

i will be working one a 4-runner soon with a 500.4 and 600.1 and let you know how that goes, that one has the potential to really see what they can do

keep us updated....I may get impatient and if there happen to be a few hanging around in the upcoming week I may snag one :wink:

a/bing a 500.4 or 300.4 vs my 2 ms275 running the tweets and mids would be a nice test.
