I have thought about using a full-range. Haven't quit the idea but since processing and power is available why not go 3-way ? Although I'd preffer to buy a full-range, in case I can't fit the tweeter. Large format is pretty much out of the question since the pillar's aren't big enough to fit both midrange and tweeter. Kick and dash are out of the question for midrange locations.

Hey guys. I'm trying to piece together a 3-way active front stage in a friend's car and I need some help in selecting speakers for this application. The car is an '06 VW Passat if that is of help more than pictures of the A-pillars. Planned locations are A-pillars for midranges and tweeters and doors for midbass. Processing is going to be done by a car pc, all software, no limitations there. Power is going to be plenty, 100w@4 ohms for each midrange and each tweeter and 200w@8ohms for midbass. Odds are that the actual install is going to be done by me so atleast the doors will get a good treatment. The main goal for the install is to build a very good sounding front stage with high output ability. Budget will be around $600 for speakers only. Some pics of the A-pillars and a 4inch midrange. So far I've narrowed down 3 midbasses, 8's do fit, mounting depth for these isn't a problem : Creative Sound - Product Details Peerless SLS 830667, 8" Paper Cone Woofer from Madisound Hi-Vi D8.8+ 9" Woofer NLA from Madisound A 10 is too much for car doors over here so it's out of the question. For midrange I think a 4 inch would be better considering that they should provide highish output. But a 3 inch would make things easier on the installation part. Would preffer something to play as much of the spectrum as possible. One option I was pondering because of the shallow mounting depth and grill. Parts-Express.com:

As far as I know AGM's have acid (VRLA). Kinetics on the other hand have gel. And under heavy loads bubbles form. Gel is thick and it isn't good at "disposing" of the bubbles, further reducing the capacity of the battery. Now this shouldn't mean that gel batteries are bad. They are not ideal to use as started batteries.

The HC800 is TINY to use as a starter. IMO using a gel battery for a starter battery is not a good idea.

I call it heep jokingly

I'm $180 away from buying the fronts for the heep If the dub sells, first thing I order are shocks.

Naw I never caught that but my friends used to hate me because I could always catch slip ups in movies and such, sometimes I think Im too observant. I think I have it on DVD. I will look for it next time. Anyway, German cars should have Bilsteins anyway. Mmmmmm, Bilsteins I love mine.

Love the sound of the engine. Interesting to hear a Mercedes with all the cracks and pops of the exhaust though. IIRC you posted the link to rendez-vous on ca-f.com.

That is a very fucked up bitch.

Uh-oh, orders for enclosures are starting to come in. Second time it happens during finals. Everybody gets scheduled the day after my last exam and my 1 week of vacation turns into work.

After fixing 2-3 GPS units that went down out of the blue and beeing lead on a wrong route by one my favourite gps unit is the old-school map

Happy birthday. May it be filled with lots of BOOBS

Among all construction work I kind of like putting up drywall

Get an 11th so you can run through it on video when you are done. Never thought about that...might do try it if we have an extra after finishing the country house

Happy BIrthday ! ! !
