Default Crack addict post

As my crack, aka bike audio, addiction gets worse, I cant stop thinking about the next step. There are two things I want to do:
1. 10s in the bags. I'm debating, but looking hard at DD VO W8a.
2. Tour pak with speaker pods. AB can do the pak, but can you get pods for a chopped oak, or only the King pak?

Gotta go, I'm getting paranoid.

If your doing a chopped pak, get the dual 8" lid. Thought this might help feed the addiction.

Fck Juice...I think my wife would be pissed with all that sound coming from right behind her head. I bet it sounds good though.

It will be better than 2 6.5's and will look good with a chopped pack bottom. Here are just 2 choices, there are a few different versions to choose from.

No way she would ride with me with those. If I was building a show bike, I'd be all over it. She wants the pak with the wrap around back rest.

More is not always better man. You gotta think staging, imaging, etc.

So, I'm loud now, and I think fairly clear. I think there are some areas that could be improved, mostly in the lower ranges, so blend better with the highs. With 10s in the bags, can you hear, say 80hz and up at speed? Can you hear anything at speed? I'm not interested in a parking lot bike, but more midbass and rear volume would, in my ears, level out the front.

Gunslinger, this stuff is like hot rods, always trying to go faster, make it better. It never ends unless you make it stop. Ive had 2 camaros that almost bankrupt me. My taste are a lot richer then my wallet obviously. Ive followed your build from the beginning and really dig your drive to build your setup and to perfect it. You must have a cool wife, my first one was the opposite!
Listen to Haze brother. He won't steer you wrong.

Oh, I know Haze is the expert around here. I just want to make sure that if I keep going, I do it the right way the first time.
