  3. also it sound like you need this to get pretty loud, do you have room for a bigger midbass in the doors? could you fit a peerless sls 8 for example?
  4. what is the vehicle? could you describe how you plan to install these in more detail? is there a factory location for the mid or will you be cutting a hole in the door or something? same for the tweeter?

    Component stage suggestions, help.

    with kind of money, i would consider going with an active front stage.

    single SA-12 D4 in sealed vs ported enclosures

    even music like you've listed does not have a much, if any, material below 40 hz. tuning higher give you more output for the frequencies you are actually listening to most of the time.
  10. also need to know what the coil config is for the sub.

    3way active help

    my midbass's are ib in the door, but require a lot of deadening. worth it imo. visit sounddeadenershowdown.com for info on deadening putting the midrange in the door probably wont work that great, much better if you can get them more on axis.. so kicks, A pillars, etc. mounting location depends a lot on the size of the mid. for example, i couldn't fit my 4" mid up in the A pillar very well so i made kick panel enclosures. (i was running a 3" mid in the A pillar previously. switched to the 4" because i was looking for more output)

    what im running in my car is midbass in the doors, 4" mid in the kicks, tweeter in the A pillar, and sub. however, im only using a 2way + sub capable hu, so my mid and midbass share a channel and xover'd at the amps while still allowing me to use TA on all channels. (the hu does the hfp for the midbass and the lpf for the mid, while the amp handles the lpf for the midbass and the hpf for the mid) i've never used them, but would a dome midrange fit the bill? reason i ask is because these types of drivers have a closed back, so it would make installing them in the kicks easier. and the xover situation would be similar to what i outlined above. edit for links: problem is, i have no idea if these can loud enough for you, i have absolutely no experience with these..

    a good place to start is to see exactly how much room you have to work with. for example, can you fit an 8" midbass in the doors or kicks like the peerless sls i linked? speaker selection depends on what can fit in those locations.

    2002 volvo v40. The dash looks like this: LMAO. ROFL. You aren't planning on it, but you'll need to do it. At least for the first couple months.As for the question regarding deadening, constraining is better than just adding mass. Even better is to build them so they don't need extra constraints. Way more headunits available for 2 way. Curious on your space. Having 3's stacked on top of each other gets to be a rather big "box" up in your pillar. Sure you have room for that?Well the know the thing to going active is, you will always be adjusting it and adjusting it until it's just right. And "just right" won't ever actually happen lol. But I feel confident in using a laptop and several hours of detailed listening for months to come. :)So I just pulled out the 3" auras I had, tried placing them on the a-pillar as I thought would be rather easy and your right, they take up a fair amount of space.If I was to put a 4"-5" mid range in the dash (firing towards windshield) could this be something I could eq? Or as onebadmonte suggested, just put a coaxial (still in dash).In order for a vertical array to work properly, do they have to be directly on axis with each other? Or could one be on the a-pillar while the other is below and an inch off axis to the right?on axis means shooting at yooo face, both side of course. Yes but I wasn't sure it they had to be perfectly aligned. pretty sure the mids have to be on the same plane. so both mids on the right would be the same distance from you, and same for the left side.

    mmmm, an array is gonna look pretty huge on those pillars. and i dont like the idea of shooting a mid into the windshield either.
