defro, if you have something useful to post in here by all means don't be shy. The oly issue I had last time was the very short useless posts you made that added ZERO value to that thread. If you have something of Value to ad I promise I won't cry again.

Hey is there anything out there that does somewhat of the same job as dynamat but does not cost so damn much (nor smells). Or should I just go with the stuff that works and costs a lot........
I really do not feel like hearing all the rattles coming from the back and doors on the Jeep like I used to on my old car. It was just nasty.....
Anyone ever hear of bulbs popping from the sound?

B-Quiet extreme, Raammat60BXT seem to be the 2 most cost effective proven products.

Never heard of the company untill now, but quickling looking through their stuff. It looks like Build quality was much lower on their list than "spec sheet figures" and looking at the pricing it seems that is the case.

I could be wrong, but I can see cheap a mile away
Don't confuse price with quality. You are wrong and your vision is lacking. Those "cheap" subs hold the USACI world record in Streetbeat 2, 157.plus on thirty seconds of music. The same basic subs were in the loudest street B car in North America at last years dbdrag finals. Don't believe me do a google search. Talk to the top SPL competitors in Canada, start with Father Yuli.

I am very familiar with all DD products, I have been involved with DD from the day my son started the company. Take a look at the Z motor, the whole coil is open to the outside, it doesn't get any "air velocity" either. I don't need to have three sitting on my desk I have build more DD subs then I care to remember.

As far as build quality is concerned AQ subs have the final assembly on the same production lines as DD subs by the same people using the same glues and quality control procedures. I have been in this business over 25 years and can't tell much about a sub from looking at a picture but I sure as hell know how to build a quality product.

Hey I found a deal on ebay for 2 Hifonics subs. I never heard what they sound like so I'm just wondering if anyone has more info on them. I checked the company a bit and they seem reliable....
What do you guys think.

I was checking out the Alpine SPS-600 speakers. I found the manual for them on the net and I was surprised to read that if a car already has tweeters to disconnect them because apparently the load being parallel can damage the speakers. What's up with that???

I would be very leary of any audio equipment purcased online. Quite a few times you will have problems with the seller(trustworthy?) cheap or fake equipment, returns etc. It's much better to shop at a store where you can hear, touch(if need be) the equipment. If you MUST shop online MR2NR
is a trustworthy guy and if he can't help you he know's someone who can.
