is this left and right separation ??? if it is, sounds like a nice number to start with for time alignment. This was my starting point. Nothing is the way it is now. My advice is to have a standing order at the local junk yard for A-pillars and door panels cause nothing replaces trial and error. both drivers measure to the listener's ear at the same time. Test and tune from there. By the way, this is a 5.25" passive component set shown.

I understand, I don’t have a shit ton to spend either these days. My mid bass drivers are in stock door locations with well baffled and treated doors. Look into Beyma drivers (if they still exist). Had a demo vehicle parked by me at Daytona one year. I have to admit, I liked their sound. Good luck with your build Sir. Hopefully I can get back to work on mine one day.

I run car audio drivers. I’m not the one that said not use them. Also, I design my systems for flat EQ, and measured out for identical listening distances between drivers so no need to time align separately. So it would be useless to have a full blown out processor for my setups. Thanks for the much better explanation.

What type of system are you planning exactly?? if you are looking for just “loud” (from what info you are giving us) then your choices are simple. Go with what’s in your shop and beat the shit out of them. You won’t need a processor for that for sure. most people here (in each their own way) are audiophiles and demand clean, clear, and dynamic sound over loud any day. So please, when describing your ideal system, be specific. Just saying

Sounds to me like if you have worked with several processors and haven’t been satisfied, you either don’t know what they are correctly used for or have a test system that is not designed correctly. A processor is NOT a miracle worker and most systems that run processors don’t really need them. Just to be clear here (and I’ve proved this many times in sound quality competitions) It is always better to do more with less. -
I take it that you work at a Car Audio Shop.

If I ever decided the need for a processor, it would be the Helix Pro. -

Help deciding on drivers for active set-up.

Just a suggestion here, but there seems to be some great deals on the SSA gear in the store. Check them out. -

I agree. Sounds like his mind was made up before starting this thread.

Good to see you posting again. I've been away for a while myself unfortunately. Sounds like a nice setup. If possible, I'd try the drivers you have and go forward with the door prep. Just Saying I'm tuned in bro. -
absolutely

Welcome to SSA. Your post would be much easier to read if you made complete sentences. Just Saying

Cool Setup. Mark, you're bad ass with that video presentation stuff. Nice Work !!! -
A normal CB / PA radio like a Connex or Cobra has a audio output for external amplifier / speaker output. Should be an easy setup.
