i had 2 6.5" xxx in the back, but i took them out. i want them up front. but i want new tweeters also. i need some suggestions cuz this is my first attemp at a component system. also, what kind of deadening techniques for doors you guys think, foam? or just peel and stick stuff like dynamat or what not.
thanx guys

 

many questions for you... how much were the xxx mids alone, where did you get them from, whats the coil impedence, and how did they sound? the answers will also help me pick you a set of tweeters.

 

in order^...

pretty damn good. very nice punchy output when powered by my now for sale usamp xterminator200.

 

nice... was that from the group buy price or just the normal price?

 

group buy. i need to mount them to 1.5" mdf rings, then to the doors. you think foam baffles would be wise decision?

 

no foam baffles... can the stock grills handle 1.5" spacers?

 

I'm pretty sure the stock grills on the 4th gen can handle 1.5" spacers, not sure about the 5th gen though, slick. RE is supposed to be making a XXX component set, but I haven't called lately to c if they're availible.

 

eh Kevin wants just the mids to run an active setup with a possible Vifa 25 1" silk tweet.

 

ya, i measured for the spacers. then on top of that i spaced the speaker panel grills out 1/4" for more clearance at peak excursion. there is plastic weatherguard all over the inside of the door. should i take it off and deaden, or leave it on and just deaden the speaker cutout only?? I want to deaden the whole door. I don't have money for an active setup, but any suggestions on a good set of tweets and passive xovers?

 

for a complete door I'd take it off then put it back on...what amp do you have for the front components?

 

no amp as of yet. i want a reliable, fairly priced 2 channel obviousely. the speaker handle 150rms each, so i'd like to send 150-200w to each one.

 

btw, take the door or just the weatherguard off?

 

what about a 4 channel and going active?

 

lol you can keep the door on...

 

ya....hmmm any suggestions on 4channel amp then Slick?

k thanks..how about the tweeter? ^vifa 25 1" a descent one?

 

Vifa makes great speakers. So great, they make speakers for many different manufacturers.

You'd be very happy with Vifa and I suspect you would be very heppy with a 4 channel amp and an active setup.

 

yeah im trying to find the model # as we speak for which tweeter im looking at. there are many vifa 25 tweets.

 

any links to these tweeters? ^^
what about dayton tweeters?

 

LPG or peerless are great treats for the money as well.

 

you're going to want the nominal wattage of your amp to be equal to or below the rms wattage of your speakers.

 

Why? Nothing wrong with a bit of extra headroom

 

For the tweets check Rainbow CAL25s a long time favorite of Many. Also the CAL26s,CAL27s....

 

sound quality and speaker safety. perfectionist side coming out i guess.

 

Think I can go active with a 2 ch amp if I bridge the lows and bridge the highs?

 

And at a lower power to feed the speakers could lead to Heavy loads of distortion when the amp cant power them. I wouldnt call this SQ or safety.
