I've been extremely busy for literally years and it's been a loooong time since I've posted on any forums but figured I'd take a little time to post here at the suggestion of HIC on my system that I put together an hour or so at a time in the middle of the night when nobody needed my attention. My goal was to keep it as simple as possible using as much gear that I already had to achieve my goals of excellent tonality with good stage height/width/depth without any serious modifications for a one seat wonder. Crazy output was not necessary as I listen at a much lower level these days but figured more cone area would allow me better impact at lower volumes so I went with the biggest sub I could fit. started with an Alpine x110-slv 10" restyle kit hoping I would not need to add a processor. It has a decent crossover section, signal delay and dual parametric eq for front/rear however I used the left front channel and right rear channel so I could have left/right eq. Speakers are an old school set of Alpine spx13 pro components bi amped and a JL 13tw5 powered by a JL xd700/5. I know some are already thinking what the heck is he doing trying to mate 5 1/4's to a 13.5" sub?! Well a couple of very important things I learned about car audio from you brainiacs over the years is that getting phase and levels correct is critical and by experimenting outside the box you may find stuff that defies conventional wisdom can actually work well (not that it's the end all in terms of what it sounds like to me but I won a couple of IASCA trophies using 5 1/4's in a 2 way front stage and had a judge swear I had a bigger midbass hidden somewhere in my El Camino!). What I learned from my experimenting was that removing that lower bass from the mids "cleaned up" the midrange a bit and I was still able to get up front bass with extremely snappy mid bass once the phase/levels are dialed in (in this system mids hp at 100hz and sub lp at 80hz worked well to reach my ideal acoustic crossover point). This is my truck and I'll post pics of the system throughout the evening as I get a chance to take a break (just moved and trying to get the shop set up)
