    1991 Honda CRX Si

    I put a thin strand of EBR around the tweets to stay in position, they fit pretty darn snug enough, but the EBR just adds to the stability.

    And for the hardest part of the install... Cut some holes in the door car for the tweeters. I'm sure some CRX fans would kick me for doing this. But oh well. It's done. Tweets in Driver door with "pod" and tweet installed.

    Difference between 15" and 12" sub

    You don't, that's going to depend on the install.

    Difference between 15" and 12" sub

    The smaller drum is tighter around the wood, which lets it flex less, which is quicker movements, AKA higher in the frequency range.

    Difference between 15" and 12" sub

    why don't you play tweeters at 30 hertz? it's the same thing really. Each piece has it's place in the musical spectrum. That's why we have different speakers for different frequencies. They're made for a set range of sound.

    Difference between 15" and 12" sub

    Goes back to more cone area. the cone is what moves the air, which technically is what the sound is. If you're able to move more are you're making more sound.

    Difference between 15" and 12" sub

    If they are the same sub line (we're in the Fi sections, so lets use the Q for an example) a 12 and 15 Q will have no difference other that output and surface area. the 15 will be able to reproduce the lower signals at a higher volume, while being able to move more air from the same amount of power. What you can tune each to doesn't depend on the size of the sub.

    My Audio Journey haha **Pics**

    Looks super clean, but i would think to turn it around as well. Nice install What's the box tuned to?

    Black FiDay sale up a little early...

    True, but I have also emailed them on weekdays and for some reason, never got an answer. On a side note, Scott just answered me an hour ago. Glad to know they took some time to answer emails on a sunday And are there dual 2 ohm available, by chance?

    What gauge wire

    8 gauge is much overkill, but it's what i have hooked up to my bl. Just 'cuz it makes more DEEBEEZ!

    X series true wattage

    I'm still interested in the true RMS of the subs though, just 'cuz.

    Black FiDay sale up a little early...

    so wait it says 300w rms on the 12" x series on the black friday sale i just ordered two of them thinking they were 300w rms so are they 300w or 250w rms because if they are 250w i think ill need to change my order to something else that can handle more wattage because i have a soundstream rub1.1000d which is 1000w rms @ 1ohm and 800w rms @ 2ohm i was hoping the 300w rms was right and maybe a little underated so the two of them could maybe handle 700w rms You could put 1000 watts a piece on these if you know what you're doing. Be easy with the gain and they'll handle your amp no problem. DONT put 1k watts to one of these, there isn't a reason really. If you have ~700 avail. to 2, just turn the gain down to compensate if you're worried about it. It has an RMS rating for a reason, whether it's 250 or 300.

    Black FiDay sale up a little early...

    That would be super sweet if they could do it, but im sure if they could they would have listed it, not just dual 4 If you need a final load of 2 ohm, just have to get 4 I want 1 ohm with 4 subs...

    1991 Honda CRX Si

    I don't know if i'm very happy with the way my "pods" turned out for the mids. Aesthetically i dont really mind them, what do i expect for my first try? I now can think of a lot of things i can do differently. Ill try and explain what i did with a step by step process. I had some mdf rings made, and formed one side of them to sit flush on the stock speaker grills, and cut out a hole to fit the carbon's basket and terminals. Put a strip of EBR between the wood and plastic grill, screwed it together from the back, and put some clear coat/paint to prevent any possible water to reach the wood. I then used some CLD tiles to deaden/seal the extra holes on the back of the stock speaker grill. A little more was added after this pic. They were then wrapped in some fake leather lookin' stuff that matched my door's fake leather looking stuff. This is extremely difficult, but i blame the glue for not drying quick enough and allowing slack which caused wrinkles in the fabric. oh well, appearance doesnt matter much right now. The factory speaker baffle has a frame behind that shields from water getting to the speaker, while still having holes and such to let air flow, so i left those on the door. These are screwed/bolted to the metal of the door. I then attached the modified speaker grills to the door, having left some material inside the ring of wood. These places allowed me to bolt the grill to the metal/factory baffle on the door. Only the first picture has been bolted/screwed in place, haven't done that step in the other pics. they are just there to show how they look. From sitting positions... I don't know what to think about them. They work, but i'm just wondering how to seal them to the door, so there is no air movement between the beauty panel on the door and the metal. Any ideas? modeling clay, maybe? Or did i just confuse everyone on what i did?
