3sixty.2 in, and the focals, and a 10 box

Wow did the 360 brighten things up. IMO the factory head unit output is pretty damn flat!!! But I'm still glad I got the 360 for the time alignment and active crossover. I'm so happy with my setup now it sounds AWESOME. I have a bit of alternator whine but I have a few tricks to do that.

woot! so you did decide on the 360.2 eh? I really like the program on the palm.

So what specific brands/models does your system consist of now?

Focal Polyglass VR3 or V3R (its sunday I'm too lazy to look)
Audio System f3-190 amps (100x2 stereo and 520x1 mono)
(italian amps distributed by the same company as focal, wonderful amps)
RE Audio SR10 Subwoofer.
My custom box which I PROMISE you'll see very very very soon. its going to be available through a really reputable company who I very much like!

The 3sixty was really interesting, I got the oem head unit signal is pretty flat, but this unit is really great so far. I didn't use the palm software, instead i used the "beta" windows software on my laptop. It worked VERY well for me. Only for advanced users I guess? I need to do a few more groundings to kill alternator whine but we'll get there!!!!

I tinkered again with the 3sixty, need to permanently mount everything. It sounds great, balanced, and can go really loud. Meets my approval, now to make an amp rack that doesn't take up too much space...

were you able to get rid of the altenator whine?

I had some in my passenger side tweeter. We moved the crossover about 6 inches from where it was under the dash and it went away.
