Gotcha.

Are you trying to just replace the crossovers or the whole system?

[johnecon2001 82]

*cough* hybrid audio

I thought you were going to run active man? What happened to that dream?

[jonbearsmt 919]

well shit now i need new tweeters!

i rebuilt some alpine cross overs.. it was fine... but i lost a tweet!

so i wanna get new ones... and maybe some high power cross overs... or finaly go active..

i have asked many times about going active and the other members will tell you ... i never pull the trigger.

i just dont wanna get a new deck and i dont have great prossing in my pioneer 5700 dvd

but i need somthing LOUD and clear.. and full.. i listen to rap.

yeah you were one of the members i speak of!

i wanted too.. but i also wanted to belive in a simple passive system to serve my needs.

You could go with a set of Kicker SS series components

There are definitely LOUD and CLEAR but also OVER PRICED

[jonbearsmt 919]

im trying to stay off the grid.....

part express

john what are you talkin about hybrid? lets talk

[johnecon2001 82]

The L1Pro is nice, you should be able to match them to your existing woofers. Or, you could take advantage of the trade in, trade up program.

i figured i would use the CDT drivers, unless i can get a shallow mount speaker that could handle great midbass..

tell me more about this trade in.. im intrested...

john. i tryed it my way... now im open. but im still cheap.

[johnecon2001 82]

k, well.. any idea what those midwoofers will play up to? And budget? annnnddd do you have a preference metal or textile? and, what size can you fit/show me your tweet mounting location.

[jonbearsmt 919]

to be honest john, at this point i say im ready to start glassin some doors.... im not getting what i want using what i have tryed.

i bought these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...m=350102170058i als

i also have a pair of these lil beef eaters.

6.5" Woofer

20oz Strontium Magnet

Treated Rubber Surround

Mica/Poly Blend Cone

1.5" 4-Layer Aluminum VC

140/280 Watts

4 Ohm

Bumped & Vented Pole Piece

28-5000 Hz

Sensitivity: 91 dB

Mounting Depth: 3 5/16"

Dia Hole to Hole: 6 1/4"

Overall Dia: 6.5"

im even thinking about doing double 6.5 and tweeters.....

but i think my listing pleasure is also weird... i like it clean crisp a lil tinny but not harsh... does this pan out or an i drunk?

[jonbearsmt 919]

oh yeah location...

if i glass i can get them in the A piller.. not really in this pic so well...

or i can put them on the tallest grey part of the door....

and you can see my current location.

i can not do kick pannels.

[johnecon2001 82]

If you can possibly run the woofers in your door and seal it off as best as possible to give it around 1.0^3ft that will smooth out a hump at 100hz.

For tweeters, here are a couple cheapies

The 26NFA, you'll have to have an EQ on to smooth it out a little, it'll probably do better with being louder. The 25 should be a bit better in terms of quality.

Cream of the crop though... http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...products_id=908

Call Ken at CDT tell him what happened upgrade to SatNet- 560 4th order Eliptic xover and get a DRT-26 aluminum tweet. That will handle power and be a nice crisp tweeter. How much power you running?

[cx-7heaven 7]

Not to steal a thread... but what is the trade up program and how does it work?

Edit:nm, I found the info in th HAT forum.

I would take a peak at the SEAS Neo textiles. A handful of us run them on SSA.
