winter came, and although everyones excuse is that is to cold to work, i got 2 new toys...
Mr Toasty  and mr smelly  they need to be together to ensure my safety... so decided once the temp was TOASTY... 75F in garage, to tackle one door...  i was checking this speaker here..  i was making some noises, so i hooked it up to my testing system when it blew,  when it fell off my hands... cuz i got scared...  then a little bird told me  that it was time to upgrade, so i took out the box i had for months...  and just finished the wiring...  These are 4 inch rockford Fosgate, that will complement my 8 inch...  next stop, GMAT... Questions?

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

Unless you're doing competitions there's no need for loud overwhelming bass. A subwoofer that matches the total wattage of the rest of your sound system in wattage is enough. I love bass frequencies and want their presence to be heard and to a degree felt, just no need for them to rattle my car apart and blow out my neighbour's windows. Then again, I'm a musician and like hearing my music presented in an authentic representation of what's actually going on. So I see where you're coming from, unlike these young whippersnappers.

Thats what i want. I was 20 years old 18 years ago. So i just want to listen to nice sounds. No distortion when i crank volume. Dont want the car next to me to rattle. I keep the top boot in the trunk. Space is limited. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post.
