So I know, I know.... "no VS threads" .... Not totally sure whether this completely falls under that but here we go.... So, I've realized I made the wrong decision for tweeters in my car... LPG aluminum tweets .... Cannot be crossed lower than 4k and that is with lower power/lower volume.... 5k is much better.... This will not work for me anymore... I've learned that now and need to move onto something better for me... Currently using my Pioneer HU for active setup and going through a MB Quart 4.125 .... I am looking at these guys: Vifa NE25VTS-04 Morel CAT 378 I have been eyeballing the Vifa for quite some time now but not pulling the trigger just yet.... The Morel came up in another thread and I saw that the specs were similar but it's advertised as a sort of "hyrid" tweeter .. My biggest problem is not install or anything... But which would be louder on the power given... Not that I want to be heard from farther away but I want to have more headroom as far as EQ and balancing without much struggle... I'm looking to improve the clarity and range...I do not have a specific driver to match up with it yet but any suggestions would be great... And wondering if I can fit an 7-8" mid to pair with it... .Help I'm lost.... Music tastes: Pretty Lights Masta Ace K-OS John Legend Robin Thicke Kalimba Eptic Aloe Blacc Arrested Development Camp Lo The Pharcyde Slick Rick Putamayo Los Compadres Dir En Grey Gorillaz JuneHighly suggest you guys check out the music I listen to so you know what I'm after.... It's really wide and I'd like to be able to play it all.... Any and all help much appreciated....!!! -
Nice!

is there a remote gain connected? if so disconnect...... All the RCA's are attached tightly? Checked power and ground is tight? made sure the speaker wire is tight? Have a y-spltter cable like this? Hook it up to your phone or MP3 player directly to the amp input and see if you sound ... make sure the volume is low though and maybe play test tones

it was cool.... find new sources... I been doing newsgroups... but I have too keep all sources since sometimes I like to get it right when it comes out without searching alot -
welcome sir!!! 10" is enough.... but 12" is more fun for some people.... Either way, like has been said, go with what fits... What are the max dimensions you want to stick to???

awesome sexy.... I'd like to be a first!!!! -
This thread was started like 5 years ago...Jacob just posted up a yard sale thread with plenty of stuff in there. B-stock you generally just have to email them once in a while and check in and see what they have. Jacob is too busy to bother with posting up b-stock listings and keeping them updated He actually does come back and update that post though ... FYI... He has done so a few times.... But it has been a few months since the last update on here..

No mids yet. Currently using my 6x9 cuz it's all I have. I was gonna throw in the mids from my edesign set just for the time being. In my humble opinion I think you should focus 100% of your attention on the mids right now. Tweeters are easy to pick out and implement, mids selection is another story. If you are running a two-way mids will become more of a compromise. You can either have good midbass extension or good high end extension. Really really hard to get both. Midbass can be mostly handled with your subwoofer setup if needed. Then you could run a 4" mid that can easily play to 4k then you could buy a smaller tweeter. Or buy a bigger mid that can play the midbass range but then you will need a larger tweeter to effectively play down to 2-3Khz. *Generally* Small format tweets mostly need crossed no lower than 4khz with a 3rd-4th order slope. Large format tweeters can be crossed much lower with a 1-2nd order slope. Mounting maybe become an issue with large format tweeters. Thanks As far as mids go, I'd be happy with something that could effectively down to 100Hz. I don't think that is too much to ask if a mid. But that means a tweeter that can play lower. The mids I've looked at were 6-7"and graphs showed them to play down to the 70s. Which i wouldn't be doing. -

I am in the process of getting my front stage done. Lol Hence why I started this thread. I don't want to go passive anymore. Want to "build" my front stage. Your opinion has been noted though. -

Maybe I should ask more straight forward.... In your opinion, for what I've stated as my goals, what should I look into? Is there anything you think fits my needs better? And could you tell what driver(s) I should look at? -

Shogen replied to Shogen's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers
As far as running lower than I'm currently able to. The off axis response and powering requirements aren't very much. That looks good for my purpose or my goals. My only real attack is install. Unless I'm told otherwise,I could be wrong about how the vifa will sound. But it hasn't been said whether that can possibly be a good driver for me or eluded to other possibilities. -

I'm still gonna have to work on install. But I know now, after owning them that they don't do well under 4-5k. That's why I'm looking to replace them although they sound ok crossed that low at lower/moderate volume. I don't think install will correct it much, but worth some experience. So, is there anything I should look at that may give me better sound or anything that plays lower than the lpg will suit my needs better? I don't what to look at as a start but the vifa tweeters looked great on paper.
