any gurus in Portland?????

Post by jaybo666 »

hi everyone.this is my first time on this forum,and i think its got good info,and doesn't seem to be overrun with teenagers! my system has been with me now for about ten years,its been in and out of about 5 different cars.HU is an Eclipse 55040,front components are JL 650's,amps are PG 4600 for the front and aPG2500 for the single JL 12w3.also have the LPL44 bass hookup. up until now the system has played well until recently i ha d it installed in my Mazda 3{2007]. i'm wondering if there is anybody in the Portland area good at system tuning and troubleshooting.BTW,no sound deadening,eq"s,etc...this setup,yet simple, has been very dependable so far and i'd like to keep it,although the thought of swapping my speakers for RSD comps and a rsdc 12 is sounding better all the time. PS.highs kinda sound flat and the base seems weak

i am decent, but im down in corvallis now :(


bogart and vw337 are tuning GODS! VW is clackamas, bogart is near the ross island bridge

i ran almost that same setup in a maxima. xs2300 for rsd' 6.5's and a 2500 for a rsdc12.

its sounds wonderful. the rsd's will have a touch more midbass then the JL's, but not different enough to swapout IMO. the rsdc12 will dominate a w3 in every way though!

Where on 135th do ya live? My buddy works nextdoor to the 4x4 shop there accross from the McDonalds. I'm sure we could meet up in the next couple days.... Maybe at the Town Center behind Sears so as to not disturb anybody.
