    Hey, what's up....

    Heard about this from another forum, decided to come see what the business was....hope to learn what I don't know and teach what may not be known.

    Current vehicle is a 2019 Toyota Avalon that I'm currently bouncing back and forth on what type of build I want to achieve....

    I am in possession of 2 components that I plan to use:
    (2) Satori 9.5 inch papyrus woofers for midbass (because I'm a psycho)
    (1) Wolfram 3k from my previous build.

    Loose ideas for what I want to do:
    1 inch beryllium tweeters from madisound
    3 inch midranges or 4.5 inch mids from Eton or Scanspeak respectively (Custom A Pillar build necessary)
    Helix DSP
    Zapco AP 6 channel
    Debating about rear fill...if i go with it i presume I'll have to rethink amps
    Running it active
    either 2 CSS XBL 12s or Stereo Integrity 11s
    Obviously deadened
    Singer Alt/Big 3/AGM
    Source unit will have to be a High res player given how the new Avalon's ICE is laid out.
    Tuned by Apicella (hopefully)

    This list is going to be hella fluid so.....yeah.

    Taste in music skews towards hip hop first and foremost...you can ask me whom whenever you'd like, I'm always down for discussions about the artform, have little tolerance for the level of disrespect it gets and tend to think that's bleeding from other avenues and issues in the country. I also love jazz, soul, classical, international forms of music etc.

    This ran longer than I planned....anyway yeah folks....what's up? Let's build

    First off, welcome & love the screen name!

    If you are thinking of having Nick Apicella handle the tuning, I would consult with him on the installation as well, especially if he is nearby.

    Based on your equipment list, I would hold off on the big 3 until last... I run 2 4 channel Zapco AB amps and 1 Zapco D amp and I have not upgraded the wiring or the alternator. I never see dimming lights and can run the system with the car off for a long time without fear of a dead battery. Just a suggestion to possibly save you a few cents...

    Re: Hey, what's up....

    I appreciate you guys...papacueball and chithead

    Mumbles...thanks for the insight and the compliment...yeah I've been in loose contact with Nick about that as well as reading some things he's said so I'm trying to gauge how I'll play with everything. He's a booked and busy man.

    I may do big 3 just to cover my bases and hold off on the alternator until a later date to see how my voltage does....I think you and I both won't see much dimming lights because we have LED headlights so that could give me pause for a bit. I know I'll have to do it if I decide to try and push the Wolfram to its limit. Williston tested it some months back and at 1 ohm it actually does 3400+ watts(!)
