Wow, sounds pretty rediculous! My friend in high school had 4 12's and that was nuts. I cant imagine 4 18's.

I'm thinking isobaric, how exactly, well I guess I will have to wait and see that. You've been gone a while, that leads me to believe that you have been thinking about this for a while, very interested in seeing this man.

IB wouldn't use up that much trunk space, but maybe inverting the subs to allow the enclosure to be smaller. Hmmmm....this will be interesting.

What subs?

you insult us! All the talk of 4 18's as piquing your sense of the ridiculous when there is so much more.

One off sealed back 2" midranges unavailable to anyone, anywhere.

a popular "new" DSP with so much recent support due to having more tuning options than an Alpine H701 as well as routing features not available on ANY other processor on the market, period.

having a full set of matching amplifiers (if you get that "fourth") of all the same dimension and of a shape that allows infinite install possibility, allowing you to have the potential to feed all six soundstage drivers 150 rms each, independantly.

That is where "the ridiculous" enter into things!

...oh and oh yes, a couple big *** subwoofers, whatever. call me when you find four more 2300's to run them, then I'll REALLY be impressed at your subbass/amprack.

by the way, since I've been intermittant for messenger, what crossover cutoff were you going to use as a starting point for the midrange midbass transition? im getting more good (read: useless) kickpanel ideas, better than the last set.

steve, the day you want to fund a new electrical system and 4 more amps (7 identically matching amps would be some sexy ****)

but yes, it will be a fully active setup, with ridiculous processing abilities
lpg tweeters up front (tweeters from the diamond hex components)
custom made one of a kind never to be made again sealed back dome midrange
8's in the kick
6 channels of amp for the front speakers (2x170, 2x170, 2x90)
1600 rms to the 4 18's
with trunk room, access to spare tire, and backseats intact.

to all the naysayers, ask mr whiterabbit, every piece of equipment minus the 8's (minor expense) are sitting in my bedroom just staring at me waiting to be installed.

this will begin soon, as my job in a retail environment won't allow me to begin NOW, (thanksgiving week is evil for retail)

Nick, give me a call tonight. ive been doing some research on proaudio 10's for use in a car. as I recall you've already cut up your door cards? not too hard from there to up the ante. no more expensive than the 8's we've been looking at.

let me know. Maybe the mids should go in kicks afterall
