I like those pods. They look nice, and you can aim them where you want. But I don't understand : was it a comparative test ? Were you using both tweeters ? One in the pod and one in the A pillar ? Sorry. I did not get it...

2500 for the tweeters : that seems ok. 1500 : that's low IMO. Good luck.

I would love to control my mini dsp with an app on my phone ! I don't need a processsor for the bass, but I would love to control the processor while driving ! The mini dsp is way cheaper !

Back on tracks ! Waiting for more. SSA speakers all around. Good choice !

Something is going to change soon... What is this bad boy ? BTW those SSA tweeters are marvelous. Best tweeters I've ever had.

If you can listen to those speakers before buying, do it, and come back to tell what you liked or ot. You'll need to use wood baffle (or rings) to install your speakers so they can express themselves correctly. I like the JBL brand a lot, but I can't tell you if you'll like them better than the other. You need to test them.

NIce list of equipments. I bet it sounds good. Do you have a picture of the car ?

Nice box. Nice work, as always... Makes me want to run several 10s like that.

Those are real monsters ! I'd love to test one 15" in my car !

Thanks for the vid. That car is so clean. congrats

Thanks for the post. I'll take my time to read all.

I used to see a lot of brazilian amps with problems, they were catching fire, or breaking fast. Nowadays it seems different : I can see alot of Taramps, SD, (no more Stetsom though)... Fi sells Banda on their own site ! What is going on ? Why are they suddenly so good ? They're cheap, powerful, and now reliable ? BTW : nice choice on subs. You'll love them.

That is nice car, way bigger than the ones I can see usually ! Tuned in for more pics... I want to see how you put that box in !

Get some Xcons, and forget everything. You will never regret that purchase.

Honnestly, I think you need a better box, made for your trunk, and your car. The SSA ICON is a fantastic driver (I've owned Kicker L7, Icon, SSA Xcon, SSA Zcon, Fi btl N2, Pioneer subs,...etc). 2 would shine on a 2000 watts amp. A single 12" Icon or Xcon (more output) in a ported box should give you what you need on that same amp. Good luck.

I can't see those pics. "Please update your account..." : that's the photobucket message I can read. Like on all my pics in my build log.

Get 2 10s or 12s Xcon and have fun ! Sealed or ported, you'll love them. Icon or Xcon ? I've tried both, and loved both...but get the Xcon(s) for that 740.

Did you try an higher LPF, like at 80 Hz ? When the LPF was at 63 Hz, I felt like it was missing notes, or a little muddy on reggae music. I lifted it a little, to 80 Hz, and it was much better. On rap songs (Decaf or others) it sounds good at 63 Hz, it's mostly the lowest frequencies playing. mids : 70-75 Hz to 3000, , and the SSA tweeters are HP at 3000 Hz. Or something like that. I don't remember the slopes. Good luck. I use a box with much more port area, and I think it's much much better than my previous box (made to specs, I guess so). Maybe you could check your box again...

I tried to upload from my galley (on pc or on mac) : it's impossible. It would have been nice. All the photobuckets pictures are down on the forum. And I won't pay a dime for PB.

I agree. You have no garanties it will be better. The tinsel leads should not break easily. Are you sure you're not doing something wrong ?

I'm so happy with my active setup. It's not worth paying for a pair of crossovers you will never use. You already have a processor with the head unit. So, your budget will let you buy better equipments, and deadening products (if you need some). M5 will guide you in the right direction.

That's loud for sure ! Welcome to SSA !

Try a single pair of mids, have fun with your system. Later you'll add another pair of mids if you feel it necessary.

It's difficult to post pics. Photobucket is not working good, and there is an error message when I use the forum "choose files" after the download from my laptop. I'll try again later.

New amp in ; a little Zapco st 2x for the SSA tweeters. I'll bridge the IA 3.4 on the mids.
