i mean you can see from my other equipment in my sig im not going for anything crazy. just a pretty simple setup with decent sound. im thinking about maybe getting a little better sounding sub later on. i do say the newer type r's have better sound quality than the previous models but may move to something that sounds better later. may even go sealed because honestly thats mostly what ive always done in my truck i liked it
-
since i finally have my head unit , sub , and amp i guess its time to upgrade the door speakers. im going to leave the 6x8's in the rear fill simply because i dont feel like messin with it or see the need to. im wanting to get adapters to fit either 5.25 or 6.5 inch speakers for my front door for a ford pickup. i was wondering wheres the best place to find some to buy or should i try to make some. im decent with making things but have no experience with anything like this. http://www.woofersetc.com/p-6201-ctx65cs-image-dynamics-65-component-speaker-system.aspx was wanting to get these since ive seen so many good reviews
-
they look good and would save me the hassle of doing it myself , thanks
-
i see the sundown sa 6.5 component set in on sale for the black friday deal. might have to try those out
-
yes the vehicle these will be going to is the one in the avatar. the only thing ive done is put the 5x7/6x8 coaxials in when i got the truck around 5 years ago. i switched out so many sub setups but as i progress in learning more about audio its finally time to get some real door speakers in to enhance the sound.
-
i know i wasnt saying i was going to get more 6x8's im definitely upgrading to hopefully 6.5 components. although i cant complain too much on the coaxials ive had ( dont hate haha) but like i said i finally have another sub stage in and trying to focus on getting more sq now. ive deadened the area behind my sub box in the cab and figure around christmas ill have time to deaden the doors and make adapters. like you said the reason id like to make some is to test and make sure they do fit like i need before getting the speakers or buying some and just being disappointed. around the same price range what other set would you recommend?
-
if you dont care about having bluetooth, i just bought a pioneer deh 7400hd id recommend, great headunit with rear usb can be had a little bit cheaper than ^^
-
if youre worried about hurting your truck im not sure why youd put a "wall" with speakers everywhere in it directly on your back glass in which any kind of accident it easily busts out your back glass. like already mentioned get a good set of components some sound deadening and amp and i think youll be more pleased than you think
-
i agree. no offense but theres no way i could ever do something like that behind my seat. i would definitely try to go more practical here
-
i have the same type of truck as you and dont see any reason to do a wall behind the seat. just try to fit a couple 8's or 10's behind your seat and try to do some custom speakers in your door panels.

anyone else play this? ive been playing for a while and i think the most ive had is a W12. saturdays football picks always get me lol
-
its about 12 inches away . . . should that be fine?

well i got bored tonight and put my cd player in. ill just get a few pictures of it in tonight. tomorrow i have to run the usb to the glove box and secure the dash kit but i was anxious to get started. tomorrow after i get the cd player finished im gonna start on the box build. its not going to be anything spectacular but hopefully keeps me happy for a while. gonna get the box built and hopefully the sub and amp will be in wednesday and ill get pictures and hopefully a video up. i know the type r coaxials arent the greatest but with this cd player its so much of an improvement over my shitty ass stock ive had in there for a while. cd player is the pioneer deh 7400hd
-
well got the box built. decided to do it for a 10 to save a little room. nothing spectacular here. got a little baffle screwed in to hold the pvc on. didnt do a step by step pictures, no reason to on such a simple build lol. hopefully it will sound alright whenever i get it in ill put pictures up and let everyone know who it sounds
-
went and picked up the mdf, glue, liquid nail and all that good stuff. debating on trying to heat the pvc pipe up and flare it or leave it regular. just picked up some cheap silver and burgandy spray paint to paint the box trying to match the color scheme. since its behind the seat its not going tot be showed off too much. just waiting on my buddy to get off work to use his shop to start building the box. in the mean time im gonna fix the cd player.
-
thats what i have just 4 5x7's. to be door speakers not amped honestly im still happy with them. im getting some rattling in the back so i may go ahead and try to get some sound deadner while im doing everything this weekend and install some. and thanks i will hopefully everything goes smooth

i meant to ask what they metered it at but forgot to even ask him
-
i stopped at an audio shop ive gave a lot of business to and saw where they are now carrying dd and ia. he said he had a 12" ia lethal injection they used for 3 burps and said he would take 200 for it. im thinking i should give it a shot . . . any suggestions?
-
alright thanks for the heads up. i almost pulled the impulse buy glad i came here to check
-
i wasnt sure what they were new i havent looked at incriminator much. ive spent a lot in the shop and figured he might be giving me a deal haha
-
how does it work? lol
-
im wanting to buy preferably a sa 12 or fi ssd 12. trying to save a little money and see if anyone has any subs for sale. the amp is a mb quart fx1 1000 , so 1000 watts at 1 ohm and 500 at 2. if anyone has any subs that would work for me let me know! looking to buy!

My 12 inch dcon is nearly dead all of a sudden???
cmw5e replied to [email protected]'s topic in Subwoofers / Speakers
id pull the sub and give it a look. see if its still hooked up correctly or see if a wire came loose. have you messed with your settings on your amp? -
you will need an amp that puts out desired watts at 2 ohm. 2 dual 4's could have been wired down to 1 ohm which would have been a little easier. now finding an amp that does the desired wattage at 2 ohm will be a little harder/more expensive

i was wondering if it would be better to have the better to have the port coming out of the side behind the driver seat or have 2 smaller ports firing up?
