No more b/s Circuit City Alpine's. I just put these in this morning in my 4th gen. Man they are niiiiiiiiiiiiice.

DLS Iridium 6.3's. Will prolly be paired with some Seas 27TFFNC/G or Seas 27TAFNC/G, heven't decided on which yet.

Obviously the new one's are on the right...

 

I can't see the pics, but I will later. Sounds ... interesting.

 

You say ...interesting like it's a bad thing

I'm still working on the post by the way, I will fill in a little more about the whole system later.

 

Where do you see any negative connotations?

 

I dunno, maybe I just took it that way for some reason. No worries

 

yeah, looks better to me.

 

No problem.

I hate my work, they just blocked pb

 

Nice upgrade. The deer and hogs in the area are going to be fat this year. My deck looks a lot like yours. Dam n acorns...

 

Nice upgrade!

LoL the cone isn't as pretty, but it's not about looks...it's all about the sound baby!

 

movin on up...

 

Yeah, this was at my parents house, no porch at my apartment

Yup, especially since they will be behind the door panels

 

Ah 10 times better.

 

My thoughts exactly...

My H/U is an Alpie CDA-9831, that feeds into my PPI DCX-730(active biotch!), which then runs the front stage and currently the substage as well. No rear-fill as of now...

The 2 mid's above are powered by a MA Audio Hard KORE 2ch (this one)that I have had for a year or 2, so it will work for now. Not on the same level as the mids, I know; but the budget won't allow for any Zapco pieces right now. When I mess with it tomorrow, I am going to try and bridge it and run the mids paralell since they have single 6ohm coils each. This should load the amp at 3 ohms. It should be ok, as the amp is advertised as 1ohm stereo/2ohm mono stable. We'll see...

As for my crap tweets; I may try and run them off the H/U for now, or I also have an Orion Cobalt 2ch (Like this one, but a CS not CO; same power & s/n ratio though) that I got for free brand new I may try and power them with for now. The Alpine has x-over and t/a, so I may not need anything else on the tweeters for now until I get some better ones.

As I said, no rear fill; but the sub stage is alright. It will definately keep up with the front . 2 Earthquake DBX-12's mounted in a custm ported box I built using WinSD, tuned to 31hz. I am alos in the process of making a face for the box so that it looks like part of the trunk; I know it looks like *** right now, but it sounds ok for what the subs are. The whole inside of the box has been braced, sealed and coated w/ rubberized undercoating, for what it's worth. There's just no sense in me doing up the whole trunk now, when I want to get good amps and put them on display underneath the false floor I'll make when I get them.





The amp I have pushing those is the only piece of equipment I really HATE having in my car. I know it's not putting down that much power.Audiobahn A8000T. I got this off a friend for cheap when he needed money, so it's what I have for now. "Supposedly" 800w RMS X 1 @ 2ohms, which is what I'm running it at; both single 4ohm 12's in paralell. I have had it for almost 2 years now and it has yet to shut off or give me any problems. And I push my systems. But I know it's garbage, so no bashing needed.

 

non-pressed paper cone ftw.

 

Anyone got any OPINIONS on which Seas tweets would potentially go best wiht what I've got?:

Textiles or aluminum (Seas 27TFFNC/G or Seas 27TAFNC/G )

 

Why not get some DLS tweets to go with? Nothing smoother than that with low low low FR.

 

$ - I'm sure I'd have a hard time finding them anyway; I was lucky to find the midbass's.

If I could get the rest of the DLS set, that would be ideal; as they came w/ 3.5" mid's.

 

I'm sure if you tried a lil bit you could get them on this very forum.

 

Shweeet !

Now ask me for the matching tweets.

 

Do you seriously have them? If you do, now is a REAL good time to be telling me; you could have cut me deal on all of it in the first place and I wouldn't have to be worrying about the Seas...



Might as well give me the mids as well...

PS, do you see now why I wanted them so bad? See what I was getting rid of?

 

I believe I do, from the UR36S set though.

Indeed !

 

You're killing me

You wouldn't happen to have mounting dimentions, would ya? I've been searching for them but all I can find is that they are1"s.

Oh yeah, $$$ and how do they compare to the ones that would have come with my 6.3's?

 

I'd have to check sizing

$75 work for ya?

 

Are they new or used? Reason I ask is because if I went with the Seas, they are 28.80ea on timbre-audio, and w/ shipping around $70 as well. And I'd have new tweets.

But, I would think the DLS tweets would go better w/ my mids...

EDIT: And did my title get edit'd, or is it just me?

 

I did some tuning today; got rid of most of the hiss from the DCX-730 and all my alt wine is gone now.

I must say, I think time delay is about the most important thing I did today, aside from getting rid of the noise. I used my subs as the farthest drivers, and delayed everything else to them; now they are integrated much better and the bass comes from all around and not just from behind.

I think I have the x=overs and eq about right, but I may still need to d some more; I can't really tell becuase I had the volume up loud and now my ears are al little off

Tuning is where it's at, kids...
