Not to step on anyone's toes or anything, but heres a quick sig i made up for ya twisted if you don't like it, then don't use it

Thats one beefy driver nice box, I like the look of the aero port

May I ask if this will only help enough for competing and getting that extra decimal, or would daily drivers take advantage of this material as well Just curious

hmm, I'll probably put them behind the seats, maybe in small ported enclosures then?

check your grounds, whats your electrical consist of? how are your drivers wired? are they putting a 1ohm load on your amp? .5? 2?

that is pretty shitty

depends if its a low pass filter (lpf) or high pass filter (hpf), lpf allows hz below filter to pass and reduces the higher frequencies. hpf does the exact opposite, allows higher frequencies to pass and reduces lower frequencies.

USA might make a comeback! ROFL, I love how you turned this into a USA vs ENGLAND

there currently beating you by 24 votes =/

video was sweet!!! You guys hauled ass on this build Love all the video edits, fast speed and normal. guy in end getting ejected haha.

A good temp fix would be, wait til you get your car...

and the anticipation rises, dun dun dun!

yes sir

or lack there of. 4 layers FTW Video or bullshit

Long subject. Unimaginably long subject. I'll try to condense it down into a digestible version. We localize midbass in the lateral plane only (i.e. left to right). We don't localize it on a vertical plane (high and low), and we don't localize it "front to back". Midbass is localized by way of what's known as Interaural Time Difference (ITD). That is, the brain localizes midbass laterally due a difference in the time arrival of the sound wave between the left ear and right ear. ITD dominates our localization ques in the frequency bandwidth where the wavelengths of the soundwave are longer than the distance between our two ears. Generally the more ITD you can generate, the wider the potential imaging. From this very basic knowledge, a couple things can be extracted. First, any midbass location that results in identical ITD will be indistinguishable to the ear....above your head, below your head, in front of you, behind you, it doesn't matter......as long as the ITD stays the same, your ears and your brain won't know the difference. Second thing we should notice is that worst location for a midbass is at a location that results in an ITD of zero; that would be directly in front of you, direct behind you, or directly above you. Related to this, since "imaging" in the lateral plane is a function of ITD, the "best" midbass location is a location that results in maximum ITD (i.e. the wider you can get the speakers, the better). Now, a few caveats to this: First, hearing rattling/buzzing/etc as a result of the midbass speakers exciting panel resonances (door panels, etc) or other noises will ruin the illusion. Second, the speakers must be operated within the bandwidth where ITD is the mode of localization. If you operate the driver outside of this bandwidth (this includes driver distortion, etc), then other factors will begin to contribute to our localization of the sound. Proper time alignment of the midbass drivers will need to be maintained with the other drivers in the system as well as between the midbass drivers themselves. Lastly (I think lastly, I'm typing this up semi-quickly), this does not take into consideration the effects of other factors such as reflections or other anomalies. In the midbass region, the physical aiming of the driver doesn't matter. The wavelengths are very large in comparison to the diameter of the cone. What this means is that the frequency response on-axis and off-axis is going to be identical. You don't need to worry about trying to aim the drivers at the listener or anywhere in particular. There is going to be no difference in response between being directly on-axis and 60* off-axis, for example. Drivers operating within a bandwidth where the sound is non-directional (i.e. no difference between on-axis and off-axis sound) are said to be in their "piston range". So, what did we learn from this very brief primer to midbass? Yes, you can mount midbass drivers behind you....your brain doesn't know the difference. Mount the drivers as wide as possible to maximize ITD. Aiming the drivers doesn't matter. thank you Impious for that, this is one of those things i'll be copying and saving on my computer for future reference.

Well then I guess they will work do you know how many amps your stock alt produces? The xcon is an excellent driver. If I could afford it, I'd get it. Reading through the forum, you may find people saying it's geared more towards SQ then SPL, but don't be mistaken they get loud, very loud

I don't think you can strap KAC-9105D amps. I would sell the amps and get a single amp to power the xcon. Whats your electrical consist of? running 1800watts on stock electrical isn't going to work too well...

They like to surprise their customers

Their shipping status is very similar to ssa, Order drivers, wait a week and start to wonder when im getting tracking info and boom its at my door. Glad you got it all in one piece, ill be looking out for your rebuild

Not to threadjack but it's related, How important is the position/placement of midbass drivers? Can they be put in small sealed enclosures behind the driver and passenger seats?

I was talking to Argent Audio and we were thinking a standard ported enclosure. 1.3cf per sub, tuned to 32hz... edit: I just need an enclosure, amp rack, 0 gauge wire\terminals and a fuse block and I can set this stuff up...New alternator is coming this week. Can't go wrong there

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

enclosure looks nice

Im in the same boat

The Fi Q's will sound amazing as is in a home theater setup
