Is there something similarly priced that would play a bit higher without giving up a ton of mid bass?

I could make something work.

Hmm thanks.

I'm looking for some large format soft domes that would pair up with these http://www.diycable....products_id=538 How high can I cross them in the door? I'm set on locations and the tweeter will be in the a pillar or in the door right under the window. Which ever works best. The woofer will be in my door. Stefan what are you running?

Exactly!

Sitting on the patio.sweating at 130am I hate Arizona. On the bright side the news says that there is a "cooling trend" coming up this weekend.....forecast for friday, saturday, and sunday 104, 103, and 101 WTF!

God I wish we had a good place to get fresh seafood here in the desert. The best place that I have found is costco.

Isn't it crazy that they "can't sleep without you"?

Me and you both my friend.

Myself and car audio have a love/hate relationship.

My doors are about as deadened as they can be. They are pretty much sealed. I'm beginning to think the whole active thing isn't worth it for my goals.

Loud with decent mid bass. I really don't like any metal tweeter that I have heard, I prefer soft dome. That's pretty much it.

Thoughts? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Image-Dynamics-CXS64-v-2-6-1-2-Chameleon-Component-Car-Stereo-Speakers-System-/290721234463?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item43b055fe1f&vxp=mtr

Hey, I appreciate the effort you've put into the thread and not freaking and getting all defensive when I asked if you'd sell what you bought. That isn't easy to take. To make you feel better, for my sunroom I bought some RS225's as well to mate with a RS28 since I've seen it done. Well, pretty much that ain't gonna happen. You'd have to be seriously lucky to get an RS28 that'll play low enough to do that...mine didn't pass so I sold the 225's. Yeah I have nobody to blame but myself. I ALWAYS do research before I buy anything, this time I didn't. I was kind of expecting this thread to go the way it has but I was hoping I could use some of the equipment. I shot an email over to parts express to see if I can get store credit, which if I can I will have a little more money to work with. I bought the tweeters used so I'm s.o.l. on them unless I can sell them.

I guess I'll do some more reading, and try this again. Any suggestions within my budget preferably in the door. Thanks for your help so far, I was hoping you would chime in.

What exactly do you mean by this? Say I have 200 to spend. Should I get new mids and tweeters and go active, or just get a damn component set?

I can't keep the tweeter and get different mid woofers?

My original plan was to use the amps crossovers and the hu. That plan is gone, two way it is which I guess means different equipment.

I would never use a recipe that calls for garlic powder Agreed

I'd rather do a solid two way any way. And a door installation would be my preference.

Clearly I'm in over my head. I'm not opposed to selling and switching but I can't imagine that they would be easy to sell. Since I decided to sit on them for 3 months I doubt PE would let me exchange them but I'll send them an email and cross my fingers.

Yes, I know buy first ask questions later...stupid decision on my part.

Screw it. If it's worth doing it's worth doing right I guess. So kicks for the 8's? Ported or sealed? What would be the best location for the tweeter/mid? Thanks for the links Eric and Stefan I'll check them out.

Doors would be ideal as far as being the easiest. I am willing to consider other locations though. I know that a door wouldn't be the best location, but could I make it work? My doors are 98% sealed.

Also I'm willing to mod anything, I'm just not sure how capable I am. I have very little experience with fiberglass.
