downgrade...finally

Post by bdubs767 »

Well I've been fighting the serious downgrade off, but this time I've had. Just one stupid thing after another. Having a 30k retail system in a car worth 5k that sits in a student parking lot for 6 mnts is kinda really stupid.

SO yea...selling the IVA and PXA and moving the speakers into home towers.
MS amps for sale @ $400,000. So most likely theyll sit under my bed w/ the JL 8ib4s for a install in new car once Im out of college.

So basically I'm gonna get pioneer prs-880 so I have the option of going active or semi active. Then I plan to get a 5 or 6 channel amp...I have one in mind :wink: . And of course the good ol RSd sub (dont worry GTI will be tested before its gone)

So basically my plan is to do one of these two things...

1.) simple two way in kicks w/ tweet and 6 1/2" run off the passive or active.

2.) Do a 4"-5 1/4" and tweet off passive and midbass driver as RSd 6.5cs run active. (looking at that morel coaxil w/ the high end passive errin snapped pics of it at ces)


Any thoughts you fudgers? or recommendations for comp/speaker sets(gotta be high end as something from the scans kinda picky now days)?
