It going in my 04 Ford Crown Vic. The car has a crappy stock speaker location high in the door, which has plenty of room, but that spot has poor left/right balance and has a bias depending on what side your on. I would like to mount them lower on the door, or even kicks, but the spot where the stock speaker was would be perfect for that large format tweeter you mention. As far as a preference, not really. Ive always enjoyed the smoothness of fabric type tweeters (silk, etc...) but I also enjoy the bite of a nice metal tweeter. I have a Audiocontrol Four1 for minor EQing if need be. Would the Dayton that you used as a example be a good pick?

Would a Vifa work? Im just lost right now.

Sweet!!!

Sorry should have specified, the onboard of the Sundown.

That shouldnt be a problem, its going to be flush mounted in the top of my doors, and their is alot of area up there. Im trying to find something that will blend well with the MLI 65, money is limited but I perfer to and will invest in quality products.

I have seriously been thinking about doing a DIY comp set and I remember looking at these a while ago. Since you guys have infinite more knowledge than me , can you point me in the right direction as far as a good matching tweeter for it? Planning on going active with a Sundown 100.4, but im not sure what tweeter to match with it. I saw the review of it months ago on here and it looked solid for my needs, just wanted a few opinions. The tweeters I have heard before include the mainstream stuff (Infinity Reference, Pioneer, Kenwood, Polk Audio, Kicker, etc...) Im not looking for SPL, more like SQ but with good output, (have to be able to keep up with a pair of 15s Ported). Any input or push in the right direction is greatly apperciated, thanks!

Wow, thats very impressive, and I bet it sounded excellent as well B)

very nice, should power those Germs nicely

x2, clean up the install a lil bit and you got a winner there. Output looks insane in that small car, whats the size of the box and the tune? Just curious. Very nice job, BTW!!!

That sounds very promising, cant really go wrong with the Mags from what ive heard period.

Thats should be insane, looking foward to that!!

Amazing, thats quite an enclosure! Good job is a understatement!

Nice, very clean bet it sounds good!

LOL, touche'

Dont we all...

Like i said before, that should be nice B)! Makes me interested in the HDc3 even more, but looking at the budget, its prob goin to be the 18 Havocs. Not to mention my good previous experence with them. Plus, who can say that they have a pair of 18s in there trunk, lol?

Cool, great amps I love mine, just tired of it sitting here trying to decided what to push with it lol. That Havoc 18 still killing the lows in the Mazda?

Wow, thats a really nice build and finished project. Thats a lot of movement for just around 1k per sub, I cant imagine when you get full power to them, nice job!!!

X2, I know that the MINI doesnt have a lot of space, but I dont see the point in install a wall unless your going with some serious audio back there. Why not a pair of really good 10s or 12s? Maybe another MT 12 to go with what you got? I feel what you want to do, but me personally, its a nice car but I would not do a wall in it. I got a 04 Crown Victoria with about 11 cubic feet of free trunk space in the center, but the only way I would do a wall in my car is if I was going to do 4 15s or 8 12s sealed or ported, just something crazy loud for a weekend/daily car.

I should hope so, im planning on running 3000 RMS when I purchase mine lol, but honestly there RMS is 1250 a peice, so a true 1000 should be fine.

Already done sort of, I only ran front stage in the last install, when I notice removing the rear speakers increased my output in the car. I also have a huge hole already in my rear deck between the rear speakers. I also thought about removing the ski hole cover where the rear armrest is in the back seat and replacing it with acoustic transparent cloth. I have never done a build log, but I have an idea how im going to lay out this system and I promise to take plenty of pics and give a detail review (well as best as I can lol, im def no expert).

Thanks devil driver, i didnt get a chance to thank you for the advice on the other thread. Your review was interesting and made my choice in subs difficult at best lol. Its just its so many good companies on this forum alone that it makes it hard to decide who to shell out the money too. In my mind, im thinking that (2) 15s ported will do it for me, but I have never ran 18s period and my previous setup (4 AA assassin 12s sealed of a Orion 1200d) had great output and very nice SQ, just didnt drop low enough for me. The Havoc 18s will fit the bill sealed and leave me with plenty of room for amps and batteries. Not to mention, giving me that low end I have been looking for!

(2) Havocs 18s, 11 cubic feet before sub and bracing displacement, powered by a pair of Sundown 1500ds sounds good? Reason im asking is thats the free space I have ava in the center of my trunk, the amps I have (well I only have one), and based on another forum members review and advice on his single, I thought about doing two. Would that be enough airspace? Too much power?

Thats a really nice setup and score. Def looks very loud. Funny thing is I have those almost exact same dimensions in my trunk, got me thinkin.....

Van dont play lol, but for real nice vids looks like the Astro gets down and dirty!
