Just got these the other day and decided to snap some pics. These things are built SOLID- heavy as hell and the fit and finish is awesome. The crossovers are purdy too- makes me want to keep the install visible. The midrange and tweeter will most likely be installed flush in the stock kicks.

 

Pics here

 

Huge thanks to Chadillac3 on ECA for giving me an awesome price on this mint set and Manny over here for honoring the warranty should the need arise.

 

very nice set. what are you powering them with?

 

Excellent choice. Very nice looking.

 

I'll be running passive at first and see how I like it. I can either use my PPI A1000/2 (230x2) or Diamond D5 600.2 (150x2), haven't decided which yet.

 

nice let us know how they sound

 

They look good Steve - but 2 xovers/side FTL.

Flush mounting the midrange drivers in the kickpanel right?

 

Yea. If we're snowed in tomorrow, I may do some cutting. I'd rather take a PTO than spend 3 hours slipping and sliding on the turnpike like I did last time it snowed.

 

do you have the bose system in your max? if you do I got an idea for you on where to mount the crossovers. IM me. I did it for one set already...loooks good. Welcome to the 3way club...where are you mounting everything?

 

No Bose.

I'm going to mount the midrange and tweet just like you did. Crossovers will probably go somewhere in the trunk.

How'd you cut holes in the kick panels? I was thinking of getting a bit attachment for the tweeter opening and drilling the hole right out. Not sure how to do the midrange hole without butchering up the thing. Did you use a blade or some kind of saw?

 

Manny used some circle bits....
just a precaution...don't kick your tweets. LOL..i cracked BOTH side tweet grills already....

 

Holesaws work perfect.

 

I mounted them flush but didn't like it. So I had Bing @ Simplicity in Sound make me kicks. I would definitely recommend him if you don't feel like fiberglassing. I sent him my stock kicks and here's what I got back about a week later. Great guy to work with and his price was very fair.

I've only listened for about an hour, but so far very impressed.

 

That looks awesome.

 

Yea they flow pretty nicely with the interior IMO. Now I just have to clean up my trunk. Still totally undecided about that.

 

kicks look great, guy has some skills.

 

How much did you pay for those Iridiums? Probably a lot.

 

He got them for a great price. Don't remember exactly what it was but was definately a sick price.

 

About $100 less than eBay price.

 

sweet kicks!!! I can't do that because I have the 3 pedal version maxima.

 

You must think you're cool or something.

Steve - kicks look good. Come by so I can take a listen.

 

3 pedals > 2 pedals. Don't hate.

 

<---- manny tranny envy.

 

Swap time

 

You payin?

 

True story. I have the same problem.

 

hells no he's cheap as hell!

 

This one gets a QFT.

Buahahahahaha

 

Hahahha. That one got me. Slick, Jeff.

 

Lmfao .

 

I just popped in a Michael Jackson CD for ****s and giggles and OH MY GOD does it sound phenomenal. Nilesh, hold your final judgment until you hear this. Simply amazing. I just sat in my parking lot blasting it for a good half hour. It sounds that much better than any of the MP3 CDs I just demoed for you. Why it sounds better than any of the VBR CDs I played I don't know. It just does. Maybe I don't know any better but I think I just found audio perfection.

Yes, posting publicly cause I'm that excited.

 

I'll vouch - sounds and looks nothing short of awesome. Waiting for some free time this week to check out some Michael Jackson.
