I'll let you know once I fit and set-up my Alpine Imprint processor ;)

 

I bought a real-time analyser and reference mic just to do it!!

 

 

A fantastic investment !!! my set up has paid for itself and earned me quite a few quid.

What brand did you purchase ? i bought an AudioControl set up a good few years ago now , i killed the 150 mic and had an upgrade to 160 and no probs so far.

i've got:

 

alpine 7873 head unit (bought in 2001 and still good!!)

 

front: hertz esk 165 components

 

ran off JBL GTO504E bridged to 2 channels

 

rear standard speakers faded out

 

JL audio w3v2 12 inch dual 4 ohm voice coil wired to 2ohm load

 

ran off DLS cad 11

 

8 gauge wiring kit to the JBL

4 gauge to the DLS

 

it all sounds ok, a bit lacking in midrange but i'll work on that one day maybe by changing the set up. but then its a never ending circle so then will need more bass too!

 

i do plan to run one big power lead to a distribution box at one point but for now i've got better things to spend the wedge on! and i've got another sub to put in when i get round to boxing it etc

Kenwood 4x45w Headunit

Standard front speakers

JVC 300w 6x9s in the rear.

 

Perfect for me, dont like subs, theres just too much bass and u sound like an idiot when going down a busy street and your whole car is shacking with the bass.

 

Plus subs just weigh the car down too much IMO.
