Where's my amps??

I bargained those bad boys down from $7.50 to $5.00 and in the process almost got in a fight with the 300 lb wife who is her husbands first cousin... but thought they were worth it.

I have a bunch of product on order from Prodigy Customs which should be pretty cool... although it's been on order for a couple years now. It will make this car ride 2" BELOW street level and will blast it to the moon in less that 60 seconds... With a small suspension change it will literally corner like it's on rails.

As long as you are running Macintosh amplifiers and Hertz speakers, don't compromise by running passive crossovers. Running the crossovers digitally inside the head unit or post processor and then providing an amplifier for each driver pair ie running fully active is the biggest step towards sound quality you can make after speaker selection and installation location/solidity.

It will provide a dramatic improvement in tonality and cleanliness, as well as allow you to properly tune the system.

I mean, if you're serious about sound quality and not just f'in around

(I will note that there are a few very high end car audiophiles who still believe passive x-overs can create the warmest sound, but they are like the guys who still pray to vinyl and have $10k needle cartridges, and their crossovers are as big as a monopoly board).

Greg you know how to work a room.

Even some famous non-laughers found it impossible to resist your comedic wit and wisdom while discussing supply side economics.
