I’ve never heard them so idk if I like them. But dang you don’t care for their normal silk dome tweeters either? lol i would prefer to go with the evil tweeters fyi, just wanted some input on the crescendo...and I got it lol so should I go with two 4ohm or 8 ohm 6.5’s ? And i think I’m gonna go with the evil tweeters as well.

Vehicle: 2003 Acura RSX Budget: $300-$450 Amp: NVX JAD800.4 Im looking to keep it simple and go passive with Two 6.5' components per door, & One tweeter per door. Will be having a fellow friend with experience fabricating doors do the install. So far Ive from a quick search, Im looking at the Incriminator Audio I6.5c's, or Image Dynamics ID65CS components...Anyone have any experience with either of these or any other suggestions? Pretty set on doing only one tweeter per door, any info on going with only one or going 2 per door would be great.

Ive got a buddy who has done awesome work with custom door panels, so I'll be going that route. Just sold the ID's yesterday as well. So now I just need to decide on drivers, or do I still need to worry about mounting depth/location etc still? I would love to run a 2 way active setup with the SSA Evil 6.5's. Now, I do have a set of crescendo sts tweeters that I have from a prior impulse buy last year that I never used lol Could I use those or is my best bet getting the evil tweeters too?

Or maybe just go active with the 6.5 ID65CS set?

Ohh she looks superb. I will definitely be trying this design out in the near future, much obliged kind sir

Alright, so ill be scrapping that idea then. I did however pick up a Kenwood DMX706S for a steal, which is active capable, so looks like this train is going in the right direction. Now to determine which route to go for this 2 way active setup in a custom door panel. Any suggestions?...... (I'll be uploading pictures for a better idea later today when I'm not at work of install locations) Vehicle is a 2003 Acura RSX btw though.

Alright gotcha. So I already have some Image Dynamics ID65CS components never installed, so just to clarify instead of getting a 2nd set, I can ditch the passive crossover, get a miniDSP or 80prs, and go 2 way with them correct? That would yield me enough quality mid bass and still get “loud”?

I just meant if I went with your suggestion of doing a real 3 way, it would be my first time going active if I did that. I know I’m saying my thought process is I would buy 2 sets of the same components, install both mids and both crossovers per side, but only run one of the tweeters per door. Would it even work? Or just sound horrible?

Would you recommend doing a 3 way even though it would be my first time going active? What issues will I run into going with two 6.5 components per door?

Honestly I’ve just always wanted custom door panels, and now since I’m going to get them finally, just trying to figure out what routes Are possible for a two 6.5’s per door setup.

I was thinking of getting 2 component sets, and only wiring one of the tweeters on one of the crossovers per door. I cant remember exactly but I think Ive read on here before that two tweeters in the front stage is horrific, but I may be mistaken. Going off that uncertain logic I have, I figured 2 tweeters per door would be too much in my small 2 door hatchback rsx. So what kind of negative should I expect from doing this? Im not opposed to going active, I just wanted to get some feedback on this multiple speakers Passive setup idea before diving back into the realm of understanding how to go active.

Definitely wanting to see that once it drops for my one Icon 12 setup

I am just curious on this topic, why does no one ever run multiple coaxial's in their door? Would kind of troubles would you run into doing this?

So I will be pairing the 4 ohm Crescendo STS-1 Silk dome tweeters with 4ohm Crescendo PWX 6.5's . The tweeters came with crossovers just for the tweeters. Amp is a nvx jad800.4 which does 125 x 4 @ 4 ohms. if I have the pwx's hooked up to channels 1 & 2, can I connect the tweeters on channel 3 & 4 and essentially barely increase the input sensitivity on those channels? Doesn't seem accurate whatsoever to me and I am thinking I could seriously fry my tweeters from the get go. Would that still be considered going passive with tweeter crossovers or am I diving into active territory? Am I better off getting a different passive crossover that I can connect both pwx & tweeter? I know you want to get a passive that is designed for the mids/highs in question, but checking the crescendo website it doesn't look like they sell them. I was thinking of getting a passive that crossovers right around the same frequency as the tweeters @ 3800khz, I found a passive that crosses @ 3500khz, would that be plausible or will I probably destroy my tweeters and have holes in my response coming from the mids? Is my only viable option here is to go active? If I did I would go with the Pioneer 80prs in that regard, due to me being a noob in the active field. I'm just trying to figure out my options.

Yeah after doing some research I figured that was the option, I just needed Expert confirmation thank you. Ive had the pwx’s for years now in another vehicle and the tweeters I’ve had for a couple months, just never got around to it. I liked the pwx’s in my other vehicle but could tell I had holes in the response. Oh well you live and learn. I am not opposed to going active, just hesitant about the steep learning curve I keep reading about. Also as a second option theoretically speaking with a perfect install Do you think even with say a component setup such as Incriminator I series 6.5 I could render a better response then if I were to go active with the pwx?

Amp: Rockford T15001-bdcp Looking to tackle building my first enclosure and would like some input on a design. Have a friend that can help out who has experience building boxes for making corners and subwoofer cutout, basically anything I cant get Home Depot to cut for me since I don't have any wood cutting tools or a truck. So getting most of it precut from Home Depot would be ideal so it can fit in the rsx. Plan on using Birch wood to save weight. I listen to 99% hip hop/rap music will 32hz be good, should I go lower? Is 29 really if I'm mostly playing decaf/rebassed music? Interested in doing a sub up, port back type of enclosure.

Yeah I have some pictures for ya. Idk if you will want them though astectially wise. The guy I bought it from cut the surround on accident and put some type of rubber adhesive on it. That’s why I was able to get it for half the price. However it seems to not have affected performance in any way that my ear can tell atleast. I will recone it in the future sometime just because it bothers me aesthetically or if it eventually rips, whichever comes first lol I have a second skin door pack that I’ve been too lazy to install so I’ll be doing that soon. I know I’ll need some more though for the roof. Here are some pics anyway. Don’t mind the random piece of wood, my hatch struts recently stopped working.

Yeah the Icon slaps extremely hard on the T1500bdcp. For sure never selling this amp. It has exceeded my expectations.

Finally got around to making that enclosure! This box paired with the Rockford T1500-bdcp amp I picked up for a steal, is slamming my RSX beyond my expectations. Looks like I may have to strip everything and sound deaden my whole vehicle. Next project here I come!

Got a dumb question. Is the 31 hz tune most optimal from the recommended range? Being that I listen to mostly rap and only once in a blue moon decaf. the 31 should be at a good frequency for regular music?

Alright thanks I appreciate it! Was able to look at the sketches and see all the measurements and im glad it will fit my available space, except I'm not able to see what the enclosure is tuned at. If anyone from SSA could chime in on what their pre-designed enclosure is tuned at for the Icon it would be greatly appreciated lol I got the Icon temporarily in a ported enclosure I got off ebay years back on a NVX 1000.1 amp for the time being. I love it so far, I just know she has a whole lot more in her once I get this enclosure built and throw the Rockford 1500 on to power her.

Hey guys, new to the forum. Curious if the Icon 15 will go back in production? I used to have an Icon 12, I had it in my shed during switching vehicles, unfortunately it ended up missing along with my whole shed during a hurricane lol I loved the sound of it. Since then Ive been running an old 2010 Fi SSD 12 I had sitting around, in a ported enclosure tuned to 32 hz. Im looking to do a little upgrade, was wondering if the 15 Icon will ever come back? Is it worth getting the Gcon 15 instead?

Ended up getting a good deal on a barely used D2 Icon 12 from someone local. Appreciate the input guys. If a hurricane gets this one too, ill do a Gcon or Icon 15 next time around Probably will be building a custom ported enclosure for the 1st time, so I'm sure Ill be posting again soon for review on my box & start a build log while I'm at it.
