I think you're off to a good start when it comes to components...Polk's really do have a smooth sound and are usually sold at a reasonable price. I myself am a fan of MB QUARTS. I love the crisp sound they deliver when pushed with a solid amp. PPI amps WERE the shit back in the day but unfortunately I don't think they are manufactured any more. However, I did see a few of the A600 art series PPI amps on ebay the other week going for a couple 100, used of course. As far as imaging goes I've always had good luck putting the tweets in the dash as close to the windshield as possible, facing directly upward. I've run that setup in a couple cars and it sounded as if the high's were comin straight at you..IMO it sounded DAMN good and once I can afford another set of QUARTS that's how I'm gonna run em in mine...6.5's in the door with pair of tweets in the dash. Good Luck!!

LOL...bignasty1...it's all good! No, it's not my race car, I got a banshee to go fast. Understand where you're comin from talkin about all those little kids in their escorts with touring wings and mufflers the size of paint cans; stickers all over them and they got 45 gerbils under the hood. I hate em too. I just had to give you a little sh*t for sayin that, I've always had hondas just for the simple fact that they're easy as a mofo to work on and have always been reliable cars. The fast and the furious was the worst thing that ever happened to America... I've always favored pure AMERICAN sports cars, that's all my parents drove when I was a kid..Just messin' w/ya on the earlier post!!

This is so weird, I was gonna post a need for some billet pipe clamps...Anyone have any for sale?? THANKS!

You lost me on that one there... You saying you can get Mr. Giggles anytime you want? Does he know that?

So I'm a pussy cause I got a dropped Prelude w/an intake? I got your pussy right here beotch...no fart cannon on this ride

That's ridiculous. So you think that Yamaha, the people who make the best race quad, CAN'T make another one??? It's like saying Chevy can't make a faster Vette...or saying Sony can't make a better Playstation...I guess you'll end up with a Polaris.

LMAO

I think that this isn't really that big of a deal. Just because they won't make the banshee new anymore doesn't mean that parts won't be made....As long as there are aftermarket corporations the banshee will stay alive even if Yamaha were to quit manufacturing parts. I'm sure there are even people that post here that have enough talent to "custom" fabricate the parts you would need. It may cost ya a little more but I'm sure it can be done. It's not like we're running out of material to make them...it'll just be more expensive and a little harder to come by. How do you think people still drive antique cars????

I agree 200%!! If you have a crappy head unit, all you're doing when adding an amp and sub to it is making a weak/poor signal louder. In turn, will produce distortion much sooner, and you won't be able to gain your equipment's full potential. Glad to hear I'm not the only one that believes in that, I got a friend of mine who thinks the head unit doesn't matter at all when it comes to sound quality...he says it's all about what kind of speakers you have. LOL

EXACTLY!!! There is a reason why the manufacturer who builds the speaker sets the limits for the speakers...

I wish I could come and have a little competition w/ya Justintoxicated...not trying to degrade your system at all, just think I'd hit harder/it's all in fun anyhow ...I got my subs for a $100 a piece and built the box myself (box costs $20 in material) almost 5 years old and still feel and look brand new. My buddy had some 12 W0's and they sounded clean/accurate but didn't put out much SPL. I had 3 JL 10 W0's once and sold them 3 months later, just not enough bass for my liking. Like I had said in my previous post, it all depends on what your music taste is and how loud you listen to it...I had an associate of mine brag about how hard his stereo was "bangin"; went to listen to it and it was so distorted it about made me puke. I tell you what, if I could afford 1 pair of Fosgate DVC 12's and an amp to push em, I'd put them up against any pair of 12's, single 15, 3 10's, whatever...I had a buddy of mine that had four of them in his MX3 hitting in the upper 160's SPL...had another friend in high school with SIX JL W6's (at $300 a piece) that could only pull out at best a 155 SPL...Keep in mind that SPL is almost like horsepower, after a certain amount you have to almost double the power to gain DB/horsepower, whichever applies. Shit, if you're ever in Memfrica hit me up, I doubt I'll be travelling anywhere for quite some time!!

I've had 3 JVC head units and all of them crapped out on me within 6 months...cheaply made in my opinion...

I'm with boonman on that one...they are extremely overpriced for what you get...not saying they're horrible speakers or anything(they do sound good) but you could buy a number of different speakers/subs for a lesser price and gain the same sound as you would with a JL. IMHO it all has to do with who's installing the system, building the enclosure(s), etc...I can build a box to make damn near anything sound good; given I have adequate power and wattage. I run a pioneer in-dash CD player (absolutely LOVE IT), Pioneer 700W amp pushin' two Kicker CompVR 12's (I prefer Phoenix Gold amps but way too much $$$$$), Boston acoustics separates in the doors with a Prestige 200W amp running to them...It sounds really clean, I get nothing but compliments about it...If I could afford it I would run a set of Fosgate Punch DVC 12's with a solid 1000W of Phoenix Gold power.. ..Anyhow, my brands of choice that I suggest to my friends are Pioneer, Alpine, Clarion for head units...Phoenix Gold, MTX, Audio Art, U.S. Amps, Hi-Fonics for amplifiers. MB QUART, boston acoustics, pioneer for component speakers. Kicker, Fosgate (DVC only), Pioneer for subs just to name a few...There are other brands that are great, it just depends on your music taste and how you like to listen to it....If you lived close I'd cut anyone who needs help with their system a hell of a deal, building boxes, install, suggestions, etc...

Tithead is cracking me up here...this fool actually believes his shee does 120! Which planet did you say you were from again?? Oh yeah...my shee is definitely not the fastest on here...my guess would be shooter, just going from what I hear.

Understood

Lee....moderators; can you guys delete this post? Talk about a waste of space on the server....geeez Obviously this pathetic thread won't die on its own...THANKS!

LOL, it took a LONG time but I managed to get my lady to burp/fart around me...and she doesn't look like a man at all!!! Give it time, it will come!

GREAT POINT!

OK, OK...point made and understood guys!! I should have re-worded my post a little bit. No offense to those who actually DO have common sense and don't make ridiculous posts, the kiddies I'm mainly referring to are the ones we've been dealing with lately...Badbansheeboy, Screamin, sorry dudes...I know there ARE plenty of kids/teens out there with a GREAT head on their shoulders, it's a shame that the idiotic little punks that don't have a lick of sense to them have to screw it up for those of you that do...and of course, there ARE "adults" that act ridiculous as well...what is wrong with these people??

Boon, YOU'RE the shit man!!! Let these little pricks have what they deserve!!! I was gonna ask ol banshee cooky cumguzzler how old he is...13 yrs old, man, I should have known! How stupid do these people get???? No wonder ATV's are getting such a bad rap, these kids fresh off their momma's tit are ruining it for everyone!!! Keep on moderating Boonman, seeing your posts are becoming the highlight of my day!!!

Yeah, that must be why you have so many firearms...LOL

thebloker, you hit the nail right on the head!!! It just goes to show you don't have to have common sense to own a firearm...the one thing that should be required.

Yeah, I would definitely check the petcock. It is the gas tank you're talking about, right?

Screamin, I definitely understand your position 100%...I know what you mean by having trouble determining which posts should be canned or for that matter people getting banned. Whoa, that rhymed... It would be impossible to please everyone based on one person's opinion (like you said, what one person thinks is useless another may find interesting) I have faith in you guys taking care of business and I be sorry if my last post might have been abrupt...I'm sure this mess will be resolved soon. Travis

I can't believe you had to ask....
