  2. Thanks again fellas... So I am putting up some photos of the backside just so you can see what the crossover mayhem is beneath the covers... Do you think I should even bother trying to go active with the drivers? They did sound okay when they were installed in the Miata... Should I make a temporary mounting plate so I can install them in my car and see how it sounds?
  3. TBH, it seemed to work ok as it is... But I don't like throwing stuff into my car knowing something is broken beforehand... I heard them many times in my friend's Miata and they sound good, hard to say if they were affected by this damage since all you hear is engine and exhaust noise plus it is a convertible... not the best environment to judge it... If I replace the screws/hold downs and wiring, think it'll be okay?

    New Box Ideas

    Wish I wasn't so happy with my Icon... I'd sell it to you... hahaha.... Icon would def give you better sound and would be fine in that enclosure as well... Most likely similar diameter cutouts.. Cubes is recommended to 2.5 cubes I believe so you'd be close in spec...

    nice... haven't seen many old school cars with customer work...
  10. The rust is fixable.. I can just replace the screws and hold downs if anything.... And no it wasn't in a boat, it was in a Miata that was stripped down to bare metal, no door skins or panels and I am pretty sure he had leaks in the doors but didn't care...
  11. Oh how I love thee! ... lmao... So yea, if I can upgrade them I'd be willing to or at least replace the "shitty" one..
  12. This is the good one... There is nothing on the backside so I didn't take photos of it...: This is the damaged one... It is missing the capacitor in the lower right corner:
  13. Nah I knew you meant the ones that came in the set.. I took some photos but it doesn't have much on them...
  14. I was thinking that as well... I think I need to wait for a reply from edesign before I make a decision on that. I have one good crossover so I could purchase a similar capacitor and solder it in place... Any ideas on that part? Should I take some photos of it for you guys to look at?
  15. This is the crossover section for my BA amplifier... I think it should be enough to run the woofers or tweets... Let me know...
  16. I wasn't gonna bother with them unless the only option was to try and get another crossover... :/ .. But I have read alot of bad but I have had a few good experiences with them and my buddy who had purchased these speakers loved their stuff too.. My biggest things is, how the hell can I find the crossover points? I emailed them a little while ago so I don't expect anything until maybe Monday or Tuesday... In the meantime, how could I find out myself? Also I did a "ohms" test with my dmm on the woofer and the tweet. The woofer came out to 3.1 -3.4 which I guess means it is a 4 ohm driver.. The tweet was 3.6-3.8 which would mean the same thing... Is that right?
  17. ah that makes sense heres what i got sitting, waiting I have purchased that same wires from ebay... Didn't work out so well for me though... I was getting voltage drops... I wouldn't even use it as speaker wire because of how flimsy it was.... Hopefully it isn't the EXACT one I had/have sitting here cuz it was a waster of my $30 dollars... lol
  18. Is there a way to find out from the crossovers themselves? or is it trial and error??
  19. they look the same to me... but i could be wrong...

    2 12 ssd or 1 15 bl

    Cubic feet in your trunk??? Do you have enough room? AFAIK, 1 12in SSD or BL would require 2.5 cubes, not including the port... So you need double that. Does your charger have the room?

    2 12 ssd or 1 15 bl

    I'd go ported as well, for first system... I usually went sealed but I have my first real ported enclosure in the works...
