he is. and it sounds, well, like a properly balanced alpine system should- really freakin good. only one thing left to do, and thats sink the sub into alpman's custom box when it is finished.
youre welcome, wolo. and for the record, i dont deserve much thanks. if i had been worth my salt, it would have been finished much sooner. however, when i get to finishing mine, i would imagine it will move much quicker. so, thanks to wolo for allowing me the time to learn a new skill on his tC. and more thanks to him for bringing my tC back to me from oak park in one piece. lol. and of course, nothing stereo related in my garage goes smoothly without alpman the mad scientist for input and tuning. thanks for your time, greg. as always, you demonstrate the best in people donating your time, suggestions, solutions, etc... this was certainly a team effort.
