If all goes to plan, I will have my boat in tow for a tune and tweak session.

Holy Sh$t batman! Why does a simply question from an original post get so friggin derailed in technical speak with bashing, each other. I had to look up and make sure I was not on WW..
we can all get long with different surf boards, wakeboards, skis tubes etc. we ll have our favorite brands, but when an audio section comes up with a few brands that compete head to head it tends to get ugly.
few years ago I got some advice on upgrades from the 07 kenwoods to the Polk DB cabin speakers, best 150 bucks I spent on the boat. No bashing then why now.
Guy wants an opinion on a system that he has kinda picked out, and we go way overboard to the Nth degree. He told us he didn't have audio experience and did not trust his local shop, so he asked our advice and we give him this thread of tech speak and brand bashing. ( between the lines)
I don't get it, this form used to be helpful but certainly looking like WW lately, must be the winter blues I guess
ps post your audio brand loyalty in you signature just because .....
Perhaps the controversy has less to with brand loyalty and more to do with accurate information :cool:
Just call it coincidence that the posts that push a brand the hardest happen to be the most inaccurate.
My disclaimer ... I have wet sounds, Jl, bullet, and alpine gear in my boat and have not talked to an audio dealer within the last year.

If you want to copy Richard Clark put up $10,000! :)
I think the only thing we can all agree on is that we're all gonna disagree on something at some time
I like accurate information. Onward and forward!
Wow this is fun. Look forward to the 2013 "blind amp test" challenge results!
So if one has a constant ringing in yet their ears could it possibly skew the results of the blind sound test?

Or we could get Tommy, the deaf, dumb and blind kid, and dictate the results to 'em.
heard that kid sure plays a mean pinball
So what you're saying is my opinion is now void?

Not at all, I'm just saying that I'll give you your opinion when I'm ready.
^^^^ You sound like my wife now :wink:
^^^^ HEY I ressemble that remark!
well after hearing all the various opinions on here i decided that I probably had not done my due diligence in research nd talked to a lot of people way more knowledgeable than myself and finally bought my components. Ended up getting the best of both worlds in that I was able to get some great pieces with a sub all for a fantastic price. Came in way under budget which is always awesome. Special thanks to Brian @exile, David and Odin @earmark and jfox8807 here on the forums.
Ended up with

2 pair xs-65i
JL 10W0V3-4

ws HT1
ws-420
using the stock kicker amp to power the inboats.
Awesome! However, I'm sure you know how it goes ... pics or it didn't happen!
wish i could post up pics but im getting an error everytime i try to
Try using "paint" to shrink your photos down a bit. Today's digicams take very high resolution pics and the files are way bigger than they need to be to post on here. I open them in paint and shrink to about 30% and then save (separately so I keep my high res version). They post fine and still look great on a screen. Good luck! PM me if this doesn't work.
Another option is using a third party site to host them. I use photobucket but I think the most popular is imgur. From there you can copy and past an IMG link.

I want to hear more about the SMD DD-1
I have the SMD DD-1, plus a handheld Oscope, plus a 1/24th octave RTA, plus a phase detector, plus just about every tuning tool there is.
The SMD is a very convenient tool to use in order to identify clipping at any stage of the signal path. However, with one acception. When you get to the final step, you do not want to feed a sinewave at 0dB into a fullrange coaxial. That won't happen for very long. Another thing to keep in mind is that a SMD does one thing. It determines the maximum clean signal. It can't balance high and low pass. At the end of the process, you can't beat real music and an educated ear for dialing the system in.

I also have the dd-1 and soon the cc-1 both are awesome tools. It can make a world of difference if you don't know how to really tune by ear. I would highly recommend one its rather simple to use. Anyone can pm me if they wanna know more or if ur local come by will set up ur stuff and u can decide for ur self
Also for those of u who don't want to spend that kind of money on a piece of test equ. You could try and app it's made by focal it's called "focal teach hd" . Great tool helps u know what to listen for and what it means when u hear it. I'm pretty sure it's free as well. I would recommend doing it on wifi because its a rather large app.
