Darthness, watch it with the profanity please.
thank you

whatever coax you put in your doors it really wouldnt take a lot of power to make a big difference if your running off the hu now.

hrm. guess its time for an electrical system upgrade..


[stuff] happened today, i was at my dads work, and the car was being a PITA to start back up. When i got home and back in the area i live, everything works like cake. i could probably drive around with all my electrical [stuff] on at once and there wouldn't be a problem.

.

Oh, and test tones fricken rock. Not sure on the freq, but i was playing some tones off EMNB and with my volume at 10 that [stuff] was hurtin.

Well, you're answer is really to get an amp. It takes power to get loud and clear. An Alpine V-Drive HU might help, but an amp would be better.

Okay, so i think i need to get some new front speakers... I'm looking for coaxils because i don'to really want to run an amp on my car's stock electrical system. Something tells me that the alternator i got last year was probably lower then stock amp rating.

But anyway, if i want to show off a little (not that i do it much.. if some asks you to crank it up, you're kind of obliged :) i crank my volume up to about 30-35, and at that point the fronts start to sound crap and you can't really hear them too well.. (simple solution.. don't turn it up like that... right?).. but I want something thats going to get a little louder.

any suggestions would be appreciated. As soon as i work the details out, i'm going to be building a ported enclosure for my 13w1 if i have the mdf left. Its time to start saving up to upgrade my alternator, wiriing, and maybe battery ... I think its finally broken in, that little thing was "quakin" pretty good last night...
