Local distributor carries Memphis. -Specifcally the M Class Splits. Audited them the other day. Bit bright, but extreme good value.
Cannon Falls. We race with the SCCA RallyX guys in the spring/summer. Nothing wrong with getting the Leggie dirty...that's why they make car washes! And holy cow wrx 08...that sounds like it would blow some ear drums and or windows out!?
I'm assuming no more than 125 db's ..maybe 130? Lol, I need to learn to drive. Ha and last time I took my Legacy down to the sand bar, I heard a clunking/grinding noise a week straight after
So how do you get the air movement for sub's in the wrx without leaving the center access open? 1 reason I have always loved hatchback's! Think SS is going to have a sale on Boston's anytime soon Tyler?
Some of the best sub installs in gd wrx/sti's I've seen mount the subs in the (reinforced) rear deck or fire through the passthrough... or you could do like Ray and replace the back seat with 5 12s lol
Leave space in between Yeah, they are liquidating. Spz's on sale right now for $1000 per/set lol lets buy 7
No system currently, but I had some pretty sweet setups in my old Altima. That was 6+ years ago, let's see what I can remember. I think the last incarnation before I uninstalled and sold the car was: HU: Eclipse 8053 - running balanced to the DEQ EQ: Behringer DEQ2496 XO: Behringer DCX2496 Front stage: Amp: A/D/S/ MX850 - running 50x2 on tweets, 50x2 on mids and 150x2 bridged on the midbasses. Midbass: Vifa PL - glassed into the doors Mids: Adire AV3 - mounted in the kicks Tweets: Adire ACA1 - glassed into the defroster vents Sub Amp: Arc Audio 1500D Sub: IDSPL These pictures are a little random, various setups over the years... Pioneer head and EQ Vifa mids Adire tweets One-off TC Sounds Sub A/D/S/, Arc, ED Infiniti, Arc, ID Engine bay More into home theater and a little pro audio now...
LOVE IT^ A/D/S Powerplates ha another oldschool goodie. Never had the chance to audition any Adire. You wouldn't happen to have any ARC left? > Mini's?
I don't actually have any hi-fi now as I'm focusing all of my resources ($) on building my RX-7. However, here's some past setups... My "first" setup (Fubar II USB DAC, Little Dot I+ hybrid, K701): Then the same setup with Grado 325i: And then, of course, the transition to speakers started. Some Wharfedales with an Onyx SP3 integrated tube amp (still with the Fubar II): And then some nicer gear. Peachtree Audio Decco preamp, McIntosh MC2205, Magnepan MMG. And then I found a McIntosh C28 preamp (with the same setup but using the Fubar II as a DAC again): Then I got an Emotiva CD player and a custom made tube based DAC: And then Magnepan 1.6s. THIS SETUP ROCKED. Unreal. And then I sold all of it and now have a pair of Klipsch IEMs... LOL.
Oh, after the McIntosh stuff as sold I also had some great Counterpoint gear with some small speakers (however what I had escapes me). I bought the amp (tube) and pre (also tube) from a doctor on Summit Ave. in St. Paul for $650. I sold both three months later for $3,500, lol. And this pretty much sums up why hi-fi is awesome: Miles Davis, a limon and Coke and a relaxing chair. Bliss.
WOW David that's a sweet setup! I'd like to get a good set of cans someday. I have a pair of Sleek SA1 IEMs I use daily - listening to a GL podcast right now... Yeah, gotta love an 8 channel car amp, lol! Most amps over 4 channels were like 4x50 + a couple channels intended for subs - I loved the fact that it was just straight 8x50 & you plug in whatever x-over modules (or bypass) you wanted for each channel pair. I ran a 650 and 450 for a while too. I went through a ton of amps, but I think my favorite was my US Amps tube amp. I don't have that Arc anymore. Still have the front stage drivers, and I have two of those TC Sounds 15's running in my home theater. I did pick up a minty Memphis Big Belle from a member here (had always wanted one) so who knows - maybe I'll put a little system in eventually.
I used to have this setup tucked away in the top drawer of my file cabinet at work Started off as having really bad SQ out of my work laptop and ended there...
ha, great stuff. -LMS drivers? I haven't done too much research on TC Sounds. From what I remember, it was a bunch of prototype drivers. Epic Line?
TC Sounds was an OEM for a few of the bigger brands (Eclipse is the one I'm most familiar with). We had a batch custom ordered, before they were selling anything direct branded as TC Sounds or AudioPulse. They were essentially Eclipse Ti's with bigger flat-wound coils and mass added for a lower FS. With 2 of them in the basement HT with a kw each I can rattle the attic hatch and back door of the house
^The only "distibutor" I have ever came across W/ TC was PE. -Eclipse? Man, ha it's been a while since fujitsu went out W/ them. First deck was an old Eclipse. Before I knew anything about "audio," I ended up selling it to a pawn shop for $15 because I didn't have the remote -little did I know it MSRP'd for over $350 ..still kickin' myself for that
I work in the soundproofing and acoustics industry and have been in dedicated two channel listening rooms that have more $ invested in them than the purchase price of my house. Freaking amazing. I've done quite a few yeas of consulting and sales in the industry but I don't have the disposable income to "get into it" myself - so I get to enjoy other people's investments and am usually able to call it work... One of our new products was just written up in Stereophile Magazine which was pretty cool: http://www.stereophile.com/content/acoustic-geometry-curve-system-room-treatments
All my equipment was purchased when I lived in IN. Fellow soldier got me hook up with a vender there and got most all of it at cost.
