Dexter Chaos

This is why I have been looking for other options. the mids with this set i had originally set to high and they sounded harsh to my ears. I thought it was the tweeters but was wrong. I was able to determine this b/c of you and alton advising me to disconnect the speakers until I could pinpoint where the harsh sound was coming from. I adjusted the passive crossover and gain on my amp to get it close but also found I had my bass level was turned all the way down so I adjusted it up. This is when I felt they sounded best to me. After a few weeks of listening now I feel this comp set can not keep up with my sub bass. I am running it off a PPI 900.4 only running two channels. Also I feel these 6.5" are working extremely hard and have noticed that I have to turn it down on some songs because I hear noises from them, sorry not sure how to desribe it, but it isn't musical. Also Sundown is in alot the vehicles in my area and I am wanting an alternative to this. I normally don't like to follow the heard. Nothing against them just my choice. So this is where I am at. Now I just need guided in the correct diretion since I appear to not be after these last 2 pages of purchases and ideas. please advise

yes the 3-way set up has been put on hold. I am looking at 2 way as suggested. I will run my sundown set active to get the hang of it. While i am doing this I will be making my door pods for the SLS and the 3 in full ranges as suggested. Thanks alton and Brandon sorry for causing the frustrations. Also I am ordering the clairon as also suggested for my 2 way set up. I plan on going to. Not to cause more confusion but could I run passive filters and use any head unit?

just looking on parts express.

Just to be clear the low pass filter on my amp would be the subsonic filter correct? and any recommendations say in a 6.5 size full range to cover the 300hz and up mark. i found these Eminence Beta-6A 6-1/2" but they are a bit pricey any other suggestions.

ok forget everything i have said in the last few hours. i want to start over. If I go with said CZ702 like alton has suggested and us the sub filter to control the SLS like he has previously stated he does. where would I connect my current sub stage. will it be ok to piggy back off the same connection and use the settings on my sub amp to control my woofers?

i was told if I went with this woofer and a full range I would be ok. now I am not. what changed

How did you figure it will not play over 300 hz it stated its response is 36.5-2000hz? and yes I am listening but am being told but with no explanation. I respect most on here. thats why i am here.

i have these Peerless TC6WD02-04 Silver Series 2" Midrange I could instal instead of that tweeter with the SLS.

Just so that its clear to "M5" I understand that my head unit will not suffice. I new this from before I even starting this thread. My thinking was I wanted to share what I currently had for comparisson reasons only, silly me. This is my thread I created and wanted to post MY units specs as well. I hope that your intellect and arrogance about audible noise is no reflection of who you are in real life just a mirage of how it comes across on the cpu screen. I inparticular came to this web site for everyones knowledge but you sir make it frustrating to learn sometimes. My 2 cents. end rant I wanted to share that I have chosen to install the peerless 8" SLS and Dayton Audio DC28F tweeter. After some discussion with a fellow IAK member on sunday he said the peerless was a proven winner and also with ALTONS advise I felt this would be a good starting point. Also after some googling and reading of reviews on the tweeter its not a superior model but has great reviews for its price point, its has rebuildable parts, & should be a good starter tweeter. This is where I will start. My current plan is to build and install my door pods then I will order the 80prs to truly move forward with this build. I will post results as I go. Thanks to all for the advise and any further advise in my crusade for a better sounding vehicle.

Also excepting offers. this guy needs some 4/0 wire 125fts worth

wish I had a 2ohm set up we would have to talk. Saw chicago fans sunday and man talk about efficient and clean. very impressive equipment here. GLWS

tuned in for sure.those look pretty freaking sweet.

you feel this way because of my current head unit? explain why? I realize my current head unit will not work.

i am using the alpine 137 currentl, these are its crossover specs High Pass Filter: OFF/60/80/120/160 Hz (Selectable)Low Pass Filter: OFF/60/80/120/160 Hz (Selectable)Bass Level Control Range: -14 to +14 dBBass Center Frequency: 60/80/100/120 Hz (Selectable)Bass Band Width Adjustment (Q): 4 Choices (0.5 =narrow, 1.0 = medium, 1.5 =medium, 2.0 =wide)Mid Level Control Range: -14 to +14 dBMid Center Frequency: 500Hz/1kHz/1.5kHz/2.5kHz (Selectable)Mid Band Width Adjustment (Q): 4 Choices (0.75 =narrow, 1.0 = medium, 1.25 =medium, 1.5 =wide)Treble Level Control Range: -14 to +14 dBTreble Center Frequency: 7.5kHz/10kHz/12.5kHz/15kHz (Selectable)Treble Band Width Adjustment (Q): 2 Choices (0.75 =narrow, 1.25 =wide)

So what do you suggest for speaker set up if not to go with a 8" and 3" drivers?

I have looked at the kenwood to. I haven't found much info other than shop videos on it. Has anyone used one that could give feed back on it

I am planning on purchasing an pioneer deh80prs this summer. As far as budget it's not limitless but I would rather wait and save up if I feel that there is a better option out there. I currently am running a ppi 900.4 on my cs set. Only running two channels of it currently. I will look into those speakers you mentioned and see. Alon, Compared to the tang bang or Dayton that I have been looking at, what types of differences should I expect between them? Thanks All for the advise

Did I miss it somewhere I thought you where going with the Dayton rs150,125, & 28f???

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

video is private it states cant watch

I have a Gcon I used for 2 months sealed before my Zcons came if you have any interest in it.

did you look at there predesigned enclosure and should be able to see what they have set up on that box. this would point you in a direction.

Oh crap I didn't see they where the 2ohm version. Are you still waiting on the 3hole-4/0 inputs?
