    amp going into protect mode. Help!

    I am a bit confused - how does a speaker "misfire" ?

    amp to factory radio?

    The cleansweep is not needed if your OEM headunit doesn't alter the sound any (like a 6th Gen Accord)

    will my 1200watt Hifonics amp overpower my 12" L5?

    I would be VERY careful setting it that low. Remember that the speaker is unloaded much below the tuning freq, and crossovers are not "brick wall" - they have a slope too.

    make sure you have a subsonic filter set to like 30 Hz.

    Tweeter upgrade?

    I would like to try them for fun, see how it turns out. The only problem is that they will look anything but stock.

    Tweeter upgrade?

    bateman balls are good for eliminating early reflections. the cancellation will only occur at the crossover point and small freq spectrum around (maybe 1/2 - 1 oct or so), where the two speakers are playing the same frequencies at a high enough level to matter.

    Tweeter upgrade?

    Andy (Wheymeyer) was talking about this some time ago on another forum. He siad that wasn't a problem, what you want to do is locate your tweeters as far apart as possible - which gives you the widest stage. Then just use level to balance them out. It also usually requires far less...

    RF 3 Sixty Opinions

    how the heck did I read that 3 times and not see it ? Oh well, Ryan is correct - they are a major PITA to install tune and get right. You can get pretty much the same result with T/A and well positioned speakers.

    Where did all the center channel stuff come from ? I do not see any post in this thread even mentioning it (other than yours). 3sixty is pricey and has it quirks

    H/o Alternator ?

    The actual amount of current draw for a stereo playing MUSIC is not nearly as much as you think. Probably averages 1/10 of the fuse rating most of the time. This does not apply to heavy bass music.

    personally, I was thinking of a 15" in an infinte baffle

    wiring troubles...help?

    I was going to say, if you are running the entire power thru the switch you WILL burn it out again. Relay FTW

    having lower extension and needing less power does not sound like a poison - maybe the bigger box required is the only drawback.
