Im prob. going to i just couldnt wait to get them in haha.

 

Very nice man

 

^thanks Greg your going with Iridiums as well right? I bet you cant wait either .

 

i feel your pain, i am almost done with these damn kicks and i cant wait to hear them

 

heck yeah man thats the hardest part. I had all my stuff for like 2 months before i could finally get it all in. i was about to go crazy looking at that headunit not being able to play with it haha.

 

im having to drive around listening to just my rears with a w7 behind me killing any decent sound those things can make

 

haha i took my z2 out to sell to my buddy when before i could afford my drz so i drove around for a little over a month without a radio period . With worn kdwII's the road noise from the tires made me wanna drive into a river.

 

Well ipod could be a source just as good as standard cds as long as it's lossless

Most of my music is in lossless flac format anyways

As far as the deadener goes... the only reason why I am hesitant on using rammaat BXT is because I read so many times that it's REAL sticky and it can be a ***** installing because it's so sticky... plus it comes in a roll so it curls up... SS Damplifier would be much easier to install... but you are right... rammaat is so much cheaper!

 

yeah it would be a pretty good source. I have no problem carrying around cd's though. Plus a good ipod source with lossless still wont outperform a drz with a good recorded cd. If i run any other headunit with an ipod connection ill have to buy another processor so i can run my 3 way front stage and sub actively. This way i have it all in one headunit. In reality i really saved a little money just going with the drz believe it or not. Plus it looks great and its simple.

on the deadener yeah it may be a little bit more of a ***** but that wouldnt matter to me i wouldnt spend twice as much for a different deadener that probably isnt that much better.

 

True on the sound deadener.

So if I had DRZ... I wouldn't need... let's say Alpine H701/C701 combo if I decided to run active on my 2-way setup? I'm sure Alpine 9887 has pretty good features for active too... but H701/C701 combo would make it much better... not sure if DRZ would do the job just as good.

 

it lacks a little compared to the h701 in the processing department just because its not a dedicated processor like the h701 is. It does a good job though. Most people wont see the point in using the drz, or even a mcintosh headunit, most people just look for features. It takes a real SQ head to appreciate the sound and function of them.

If your just going 2 way active 9887 may be all that you would need. There are 1 or 2 headunits on the market that will process 4 way active 3way and a sub... drz is one of them. There are many that will do 2 way active front stages with sub. If your going active hold off on the h701 until you use your 9887 to its full potential, then if you need more room to eq etc. then you can buy the h701. plus they arent exactly easy to come by right now since they are discontinued.

 

welp later on this week im gonna bite the bullet and order 120 sq feet of raamat bxt dampener. and Im not sure what barrier im gonna go with yet. gonna be alot of work but def. worth it. Ill snap some pics along the way it will be a few weeks before i can get it all done.

 

When you get done with this, I'm gonna' look you up so I can hear this bad boy...

 

sounds good bro got a little while to go. I need to tone down my mids just a hair they are a bit harsh right now. Gonna be a ton of work deadening the entire car lol. Thats alot of plastic in this bish.
