no. but this is what sounded best for the mids and highs.

only other option is an active amp - Arc SE, Zapco DC Ref, Image Dynamic

Good luck Jalat

the cap idea is in the works, hopefully for next spring, as the car is going to be garaged soon.

what uf (i believe its called) would you recommend? like what hz should we cross over at?

i was think like 80-100hz? and i believe i read somewhere that would be at a 6db slope?

Yup 6db is correct but to get everything eliminated 100 and down - the cap has the circumference size of a coke can. 200uf is what I used on my 5's and they take real 200 rms happily. They cost $50+ ea too.

the Fi Q is a very very good sub....needs a small box to. I found 1.5ci.ft to be too big for it.
