I think damn near everyone in the state of AL is/was running that combo, and for good reason.

The two were made for each other!

I love the combo. Like Lee said they were made for each other.

Now If I can just get my configurations down I'll have it going on.
Listening to my tapes on a decent playback system now. I can tell I'm doing something wrong. When running DIN my left side is consistently lacking something compared to the right channel. When I set the balance to the right a little & crank it up it sounds so much better.

Any suggestions? Maybe I'll try the 90deg cutout pattern that I've seen some people use.

not sure about the 480's but the 391's paired with the warm mod ua-5 is awesome.

Listen to my 7/18/03 tapes and tell me which way I had my configuration pointed ;)

'bout time you got around to it!

Seriously, you need a damn bombsight with those DIN hypers to make sure you get 'em pointed dead center.  Maybe I should've taken it easy in the lot.  Live and learn, I guess.

I have a friend that runs 480->warm mod UA5. Sounds sick everytime.  He makes killer tapes with that combo.

I ran 184s with the wua5 for a little while and the 480s combo blew them out of the water. Drop me a line and i could shoot you some comparisons.

my adk's sound a lot better with the wmod ua-5 than they did with the mp-2 -> ad500e.  plus it is a lot less gear to lug around.

Less gear to lug is a good thing, no doubt.  Especially if it allows you to carry one less battery!
