i got a feeling morel will be the new boner in town...

 

not that kinda owned. you said "won by a landslide".

 

LoL Yes it did !

 

Hope not for your cousins sake.

 

quit your jedi mind tricks. morel or dyn?

i'm tryin to come up with that 182 money. already got the 102/142s.

 

Dyn > Morel

Get it now?

 

mike put those damn dyns in already

don, i think so.

 

You think so for your cousin or you think it is a boner?

 

i think so for my cousin. i don't know for sure though.

 

He is making some very bad mistakes. I used to like him too.

 

Meh, then again Sam is the one that ultimately pays the price.

 

so i messed with the XEQ today. the damn thing seems like it's wider than the standard din size. it doesn't clear the width of the opening on my metra kit.

looks like i need to get the dremel out.

 

i think so... so what you're saying is dyn > morel right?

perfection takes time... and money.

 

another boring day of lectures...

 

so they did pick up the line?

 

bored. what you guys up to.

 

BS' in with Kevin on teh phone.

 

don you don't have to happen to have those metal mounting rings for the dls midranges do ya? i can't find mine. i just got some new kick panels the other day.

 

I do.

 

how much you want for them? there's one more place i haven't looked. i'm hoping it's in my cousin's garage somewhere.

 

Want for them? LoL whatever the shipping costs. Im not gonna charge for something like that..

 

wait...you have extras? so you didn't use them for clients' cars?

 

Nope, no need to use em. What do you need it for?

 

i was going to use a tiny nut and washer to mount them the kicks. it should help flatten the kicks out some. so i figured put the ring on the back side to form a good mounting perimeter.

but i'm all ears right now...

 

^ I was thinking the same, can I pick up a pair of those?

 

here's some old pics of the kicks and one of the rings. you can see the gap on the front edge of the kicks.

 

mine are the same way.

 

in fact your kicks look almost identical to mine.

 

So your finally doing it the right way?

 

I dont think they will fit your mids, but stop by and check.

 

pretty much. damn fg kicks are way too small for the 8s...and i don't really want to cut a hole into the floorboard to vent them. so into the door they go. i'm going to try using only a 1/4" spacer. hopefully that'll let the door panel snap back in without issues. i should have enough depth enough clearance as well with a 1/4" spacer.

 

CD7200 mkII. Thoughts?

that damn hissing noise floor on my CD5100 is getting a little annoying after hearing my buddy's setup with a HX D1 source. He had zero hiss on his.

 

I still have a very faint noise floor. I have already put too much tim into trying to eliminate it. SO I just deal with it. The Alpine 9833, Eclipse 8455, and the Pioneer 880 have all had the same noise. It gets irritating after a while knowing you have tried all but a complete rewire.

The CD7200 I installed in my friends truck has a little bit, but I didn't wire it so there is no telling what gobs of spaghetti lie in wait.

 

well i rather have a tiny bit then a whole bunch. you can't really hear the hiss with the volume past 20 or so but sometimes i'm parked and have the radio on, on volume 10 or so and the hiss is really annoying.

 

Varying opinions on it, but you won't lose the hiss.

 

There are Very few HUs available that will not present a noise floor, or at least an audible one. All of which are either going to be waaay out of budget or unobtainable with ease. Combination of both often occurs.

 

i dont recall my premier decks having this high of a noise floor though.

ah well, i'll live with it a bit longer.

 

They did. I promise you that. Mine cannot be heard until I turn the volume all the way down or just barely up to 10 or so. Past that you don't hear it at all. It took me a long time to get to that point though.

 

hmm, maybe i'm just being too **** haha.

a buddy of mine just picked up the new mag. can't wait to hear it.

 

I hope it is as good or better than the previous version. Everyone on ca was sucking SI off I had to start calling people out for blindly saying that it is going to be bad @ss and it will be better than the previous version because of the designer. Not one of which had heard the new sub. One of the many reasons I hate CA.

Let us know what you think of it.

On a side note I ordered a set of AA carbon mids today. I am pretty excited to see what they can do. I hope they are here by next week. Shawn and I are trying to set up a time slot at a local cabinet makers shop to make all the cuts either this sunday or monday. If not, we can cut the wood at his place. Next weekend will be fun.
