That's settled then! Yes on-axis means pointed directly at the listener. Get the OD of the WB drivers you're looking at, cut out paper circles with the same diameters, and make sure you can actually fit it in the a-pillar section. Checking for depth wouldn't be a bad idea either. Well Im making a-pillar pods for the speakers, so I really dont think it will be an issue.

Alright, well at the moment going 3 way is out of the question, too much money to be spending on a new amp, ect. Now if I am correct on-axis means the speaker needs to be directed to the listener, correct?

7 year old thread Resurrection by spam... nice!

Mid 160's or bust.

No table saw? What was he using?

badass colour

Mids are going to be mounted in the doors. I know you suggested a 7" mid but I can fit a 10" if needed. ( ) I should be able to get away with 5, MAYBE 6" of depth depending on how much I build out the door with my pods. Now as far as my goals for the mid, Id really like to find one that will have impressive, hard hitting midbass while still sounding as nice as possible.. Sorry if that's a little vague, haven't dealt with front stage too much so its kind of hard to tell what I actually want.

Didnt actually notice that what so-ever.. But considering Im making custom A-pillar tweeters I dont think it will be problem. Other than being 4" in diameter does there seem to be any downside to them? Im not really sure how to tell based of parameters but Im sure you do. Like I said earlier, Im basically looking for a very "non-harsh" tweeter. I understand you usually dont give many suggestions are far as drivers go Impious, but if you do have any ideas that will work well in a 2 - way setup Im all ears.

http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/seas-soft-dome-tweeters/seas-prestige-29tff/w-h1318-fabric-dome/ These ones.. Not really sure why I picked them but they look nice.

Oh yes and budget.. I was thinking less than $700 for all 4 speakers

Well alright let's take this step by step then. My head unit does have time alignment, and 13 band eq's for each side. So I was thinking about just getting an active crossover like the minidsp. Now as far as tweeters go, I like the look of the Seas Prestige Fabric dome tweeter. It will play does to 2.2khz according to its specifications. Anyone have any experience with these? Or any better suggestions?

Woot!

Alright. Now I wanted to run an 8" or 10" midbass driver.. I want some midbass with some impact to it. Now like I said earlier, Im looking at these Seas drivers which seem pretty decently priced.

See thats why I was thinking 3 way, because that way I wouldnt need to worry about mating it up with the tweeter.

Defiantly not going the super tweeter route. To be honest one of the first things that came out was madisound and the Seas drivers seemed to catch my eye.

Any ideas on some companies I should look into? I'm very lost when it comes to speakers..

Im willing to fibreglass both my a-pillars and my doors. So im not very limited on how much space I have.

Woot! Welcome.

Well first get big 3 done.. If voltage drop isnt bad anymore then you dont really need to do anything more.

Well its not 'ideal' but im running and agm and stock battery right now.. When money is tight you gotta do what you gotta do.

Get an agm battery. either to repalce your stock one, or to put in your trunk,

I'm going to retest with the crescendo and see what happens.

Way way behind on this build log.. Ill do a little update, no real pictures. I finished the box, 10" aero firing forward tuned to about 33hz and was able to pull off a 146.6 db with pretty bad voltage drop. I finished ordering my new amp (bc3500d). Ill try to get some pictures up soon.

Not bad at all
