wOOt!!! Seas Lotus RW165 Mids

Recommended Posts

I have one more layer to lay down on the actual door.  Then 24 hours to dry and the rattle pad goes down, then tomorrow afternoon the Seas are going in and the RTA will be busted out :)

Who's RTA are you using? I would buy one myself, but they're rather expensive. I would just rather pay to rent it from someone.

GL with the install. Liquid deadening is actually fun to me, mat deadening on the other hand...

So they are finally installed, and RTA tuned. Time to clean the garage and see if the road noise has lowered.

I hate the garage clean part, I just did that myself . How does it sound and how much did you use?

looks sweet Justin, but your dirty secret is in fact quite dirty

I know, I know...I really didnt want to drill a hole though. It was just too easy and the wire is fine, plenty of clearance.

why not just run it through the rubber boot?

no cutting...it is fine that way. when I take the 1/0 out it will fit perfectly back into place.

The battery on my 88 is on the passenger side with a convenient grommet going through right nex to the heater core/box. It's huge too, so I could easily run 4/0 through there and have space left over for a couple more runs of 1/0. Then a simple bend up into the glove box where the fuseholder is held.

Jntar welcome to the club :domoslay: I have had my Seas for going on 3 months and the only thing I have say is they need about 150-200 watts to get them to really sing. I have mine crossed at 80 on the low side and 2500 hz on the high side and am impressed every time I sit in my truck. What tweets are you using? I have scanspeaks..(alpine F1's) and love the imaging and clarity with the combo. Changed my amps up a little, have a RF Power 800 driving the Seas, a power 500 driving the tweets and my Orion 1200D running the SS back in a sealed enclosure (yes kent, it is back in your box). Been working like a dog the last couple months and haven't taken the time to keep upwith you guys, sorry, but what a nice suprise to see what you are doing with your truck. I DO have a second set of Lotus just sitting here....anyone want them? just hit me with a PM.
