STOP.
Trunks_9-You need to evaluate what you are doing. You have spent a ton of money to build a comp car. You jumped in both feet first without testing the water. Guess what the water is cold and deep.
Most people even the comp. guys have spent years learning, started out small and gone through many systems by the time they get ready to try and pull off what you are trying to pull off.
Many of even the big names get help from many different friends.
Above goes with many of the guys on this and other forums.
I admire what you are trying to do but you need to really assess your skills and current knowledge.
I am not trying to put you down just giving you reality check.
To build a top level comp car these are things I have found you need.
Top level installer and wiring guru if you are not.
A way to test different/listen to drivers before making the final decision
A great tuner
A plan to accomplish the above
I have found its best to find a top installer that will let you help with the build and be involved in the every aspect.(This helps you accomplish the below statement)
For the car to be successful you yourself need to have a good knowledge of the build, speaker, design and car audio knowledge. No sense in having spent $20k if you cannot answer questions about your audio set-up or basic or advanced audio questions.
Remember the best answer if you really do not know the answer is "I don't know", then gain the knowledge or ask someone that does know. This will allow to answer the question if it asked again.
I have read about 99% of the threads you have started and build log stuff. It is clear you are learning as you go which is fine. However at the end and you have spent a **** ton of cash and it does not sound worth $20k you have a major problem. Which is ripe the entire or portions of the install out to try and fix the problem. That is why it is best to find the guys that build successful comp. cars and have them help. You have already spent the cash might as well spend a little more for the help.
I to tried to do what you are trying.
Now I am doing it the right way.
Money is the easy part if you have it.
Your correct there is alot I am still learning.
I have all the above though on which you have mentioned covered though.
My dealer is very knowledgeable in car audio will be tuning most of my system beside me and I will be there to listen as well.
I promise you I have listened to drivers and installs. They may have not all been in a car but I have definitely listened to different configurations with different components.
I have done a lot of research on trying to get what I wanted to buy for my system. I talk to my dealer about the stuff I get and what I should do for opinions on what to do on things.
Believe me there is alot of things I still dont know how to do. I get tons of help from ppl I guess I just dont show it.... Like right now I am down to trying to figure out about my main gnd on the chasis of the car then running a gnd distro block to everything. I still got a big amount of stuff to do but I do what ever I can by myself If I knew how to fiberglass and had tools as well as some more skill I would do everything myself and mess up as many times till I got it right. As far as tuning goes I am no perfect tuner. I still class myself as a novice but I do know what I am doing I might not be able to tune perfect but I know I can get most of it done right.
To everyone who thinks I might be cocky I am not. I am not trying to show that kinda of attitude and if I have shown that I am very sry. My intention has always been able to get help and not try to be the know it all cause I do know I dont. I know it may seem like I have alot of money but I really dont. I just save up and put other priorities aside right now till I finish this project.
