AA Carbon Mids

[S.DeYoung 968]

are these listed on the AA site? Do you still sell the polymids?

I am looking for some also. Wondering if they are still available brand new?

Pro Audio speakers lack the midbass

Not all pro audio drivers lack midbass, I got 8mm on my 10's.......mmuuuuhahahaha!

I wanted to try out the AA mids too, but I went a different route since I only wanted one mid per door. Maybe one day I will give them a try!

Good luck with whatever you decide to go with.

I ran mine from 57-2550 in the van. 6 sets. 115 watts RMS per driver.

Actually kept up with (6) mayhem 15's pretty good.

Contact a dealer to get ahold of them. they are still for sale, just not on the site.

I was told no more polymids, only carbon

I have 1700 watts going to four Extremis 6.4's and they want MORE.. 80Hz-710Hz. Once in a while I drop them down to 34Hz but turn them down quite a bit :-P

Have you actually measured that much power? I have used those drivers in multiple installs - i don't see them handling 425 watts each for long. . .

no I havent, id love to clamp them. They don't even use more than 1/4 their excursion most of the time. I've got two Kicker KX850.4's, 1 Extremis per 2 channels bridged 4 ohm. I can easily take them up click by click until the amps clip. I have 0 gauge wire, short runs... the amps are mounted directly above the batteries, no more than 1.5' per wire. Being conservative lets cut that number in 1/2.... I'd bet the speakers and amps that theyre at least getting 212 watts RMS each.

The FR125's were being run off a KX350.4 bridged... I think it was rated 120 or 130 RMS bridged 8 ohms... when I pushed them hard the phase plugs would get pretty warm, so i upgraded to a KX650.4 and now the plugs stay cold no matter how loud I have them.

The SX500.2 I have pushing four Vifa XT25TG30 1" ring radiator tweets, 2X2ohm parallel... gets pretty warm when I really rip on them too. I had a KX200.2 on them before and it just couldn't push them loud enough to keep up with the rest.

So here's the setup:

Alpine IVA-W505 dvd player that controls the crossover via Ai-NET (pretty pissed off that they stopped putting the optical out on the W505, dropped $$$ on a fiber optic cable for nothing and I have a terrible sound floor running audio through the Ai-NET)

PXA-H701 all my slopes are set to 30dB/oct.... I know, should go 24dB but I like it steeper

Four Vifa XT25TG30's off a Kicker SX500.2 with it's HP set at 13.7kHz 36dB/octave... after the PXA already crosses them at 14kHz 30dB/oct... I know, the tweets are crossed WAY too high and basically at 66dB/oct... thats how I like it...my speakers are in my ceiling, this thing wasn't built for comp... SPL or SQ

2 CSS FR125S 4.5" fulll rangers, XBL^2, off a KX650.4 covering 710Hz-14k. They could be crossed at 16k but they lose a lot of steam after 14 and thats where I like the tweets anyway.

Four Adire Audio Extremis 6.4s off two KX850.4's 80Hz-710Hz

Four IB3 18's off four Audiopipe AP30001Ds 10Hz-80Hz. I only have one Iraggi HO alt 200A @ idle 220A peak installed right now and I killed it trying to push the subs so I had them set to 31Hz LP to take a ton of strain of the amps and alt. As soon as I get the 2nd alt in, Excessiveamperage 200+A @ idle 300A peak put in, Ill bring it back up to 80Hz.
