That would be quite the task

Actively tuning and choosing cross over points involves a lot of reading/education. Hopefully he's willing to work for what could be the best sound he'll ever know(if its done right)

Bose sucks. I ripped mine out and went with infinity kappa speakers and new wiring for cheap and its still a big difference...

I understand all the science behind it but, in a car, the environment changes (opening/closing windows) to a degree where not even EQ makes much sense.

How many people accidentally send full signals to tweets? :/

<---doesn't have a lot of faith in people's ability to apply knowledge.

Car audio myth's run rampant, installation miscues are a dime a dozen, and people refuse the possibility of enlightenment.

I probably just have a bad attitude...my bad. Of course my installation is far from perfect. My goal was SQ on the cheap. Turning into a headache trying to be cheap :P Eats into performance of the system too.
