    Mids are going to be mounted in the doors. I know you suggested a 7" mid but I can fit a 10" if needed. ( ;) )  I should be able to get away with 5, MAYBE 6" of depth depending on how much I build out the door with my pods.

     

    Now as far as my goals for the mid, Id really like to find one that will have impressive, hard hitting midbass while still sounding as nice as possible..  Sorry if that's a little vague, haven't dealt with front stage too much so its kind of hard to tell what I actually want.

    Didnt actually notice that what so-ever.. But considering Im making custom A-pillar tweeters I dont think it will be problem.  Other than being 4" in diameter does there seem to be any downside to them?  Im not really sure how to tell based of parameters but Im sure you do.  Like I said earlier, Im basically looking for a very "non-harsh" tweeter. I understand you usually dont give many suggestions are far as drivers go Impious, but if you do have any ideas that will work well in a 2 - way setup Im all ears.

    Well alright let's take this step by step then. My head unit does have time alignment, and 13 band eq's for each side. So I was thinking about just getting an active crossover like the minidsp. Now as far as tweeters go, I like the look of the Seas Prestige Fabric dome tweeter. It will play does to 2.2khz according to its specifications. Anyone have any experience with these? Or any better suggestions?

    Check Madisound and PE for drivers. Using a 10" driver may become problematic due to tweeter mating, and beaming. Since you're installing in a door look at drivers that are suited towards IB.

     

    See thats why I was thinking 3 way, because that way I wouldnt need to worry about mating it up with the tweeter.

        Now ill be the first to admit that I really don't know a ton about a good proper speaker setup upfront.. Iv mainly focused my attention on subwoofers for the first few years of my car audio journey as I'm sure most of us do.  I'm really looking to up my game as far as my front stage goes.  I'm kind of leaning towards making my own 2-way or 3-way setup.  Depending on whether decide to go with a 2 or 3 way setup, I really wanted to try a soft dome tweeter along with a midrange speaker (if 3 way is the best option) mounted in the A-pillars.  Then have either an 8" or 10" midbass driver in each of the front doors.  My goal is obviously not perfect sound quality.  I want a less harsh tweeter than the metallic one that is in my setup now, and would like for the highs and midbass to keep up with the subwoofers when Im giving demo's ect. At the moment I have a kenwood x996 headunit and a Phoenix Gold 500.4 as my amplifier that will be running the frontstage.

        I guess I'm just looking for a few pointers, maybe some good speaker brands that I should be looking at.  Any input would be helpful, thanks.:)

    Way way behind on this build log.. Ill do a little update, no real pictures. I finished the box, 10" aero firing forward tuned to about 33hz and was able to pull off a 146.6 db with pretty bad voltage drop. I finished ordering my new amp (bc3500d). Ill try to get some pictures up soon.
