It's ok. I participated in some of those pointless arguments. Not my finer moments.

I would delete the posts but, post count and all...

Did he really say all those things or is it in "their" translation?

Edit: Ah~ nvm, I figured out which site I was reading

Got my subwoofer and amplifier installed in my FRS and holy shit there is SO MUCH BASS. It's awesome

With that tiny I interior the cabin gain will be huge. I can't wait to finally get mine together.

After some calculations I'm putting a 12 in a 0.65 cuft box, this should give a flat response down to about 27Hz.

If you've never heard of Sixto Rodriguez... Download his albums now.

If you've never seen the movie: Searching for Sugarman, go rent that now.

I think he's better than Dylan... Yup, I said it... better than Dylan.

My setup will be a little more involved then that. A six channel amp running my fronts and a single channel amp running the sub. All told its about 1200 watts. Add in time alignment, parametric eq, active crossover, and an o-scope & spec-a for tuning. I've been putting it off because of how long it's gonna be between when I start removing the factory stuff and when I can listen to music again. Hash tag first world problems.

WOW, that's a lot! that's going to sound amazing, although I have to say that adding a subwoofer to the stock system made a huge difference because I could turn the bass wayyyy down and let the door speakers just be mids. The amplifier is a no-name (as far as I know, I picked it up from a local audio parts store) 800 watts, the subwoofer is an Alpine Type E 10". Since I never learned the RMS values for the amp I had no real clue how well they matched up but MY GOD it sounds good. My next step is a ported box that will allow the sub to hit a little harder

I spent just about every dollar I got for my birthday on the install so the box and tint will have to wait
