Lucky 76

Thing is I need to play my subs on the low end because they are 18s. I wanted to cross over around 50-60 hZ to around 800hZ. Do you have any experience with those 6x9s? Will they deliver the best midbass out of everything I have posted? I am more concerned with midbass that is why I am asking. Like I said midbass and highs are key to me. Someone told me they have more cone area than an 8 but i do not see how that is possible. If A=pi*r^2 Then pi*4^2 < ((.5)*pi*4.5^2+(.5)*pi*3^2) So I am not understanding how a 6x9 has more area.

The thing is I have tried the REs. This was with the 2 sets but still should have been louder. Someone on image dynamics told me the xs69 by image dynamics would be perfect for the horns. They were made to match one of the mods said. There is also more cone area in the 6x9s and they play the freq range needed. They also have a 92 db sensitivity, 4 ohm, and take 150 rms like its its job. Only downfall is the price at 450 a set =(

Yes very true. I was kinda loving the idea of a db meter on it but I think I will just buy one.

I agree 100% with this. If the box is too small pick another driver that will perform better in that box. If your sub is choked it will not be as loud and it will sound like ass. Not to mention there is the possibility of damaging the subwoofer and amplifier.

I saw the way his is setup. I am not cutting my doors more than they already are. He has two sets in the doors. Gonna have to find something else. I wish I could find an 8 inch sub that could extend to around 700hz lol. Or a midrange that would fill the gap between an 8" sub and the tweets but also be able to blend well with the output of the others.

He uses jbl and I hate jbl. These daytons were looking like the best sensitivity and power handling that I could find. Also have a nice frequency range since I plan to cross over at 50-60 hZ http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=295-100

Oh ya I completely forgot. The owner of pts hahaha.

I found these but they are 7". They have a great sensitivity however. http://www.parts-express.com//pe/showdetl.cfm?AID=1457539&PID=440939&Partnumber=295-374&DID=7 Would these be nice to compliment the horns? These are also looking nice http://www.woofersetc.com/p5554/Esotec-MW-172--Dynaudio-8"-Mid-Woofer.htm

Ya I understand that but I am saying I will have to try it.

Does the epicenter help increase you spl or does it just act like a bass boost where it will just cause the amp to clip. Would it be a good idea to buy one if I mainly use an ipod?

That is sick! Im gonna have to try that when mine is finished.

Honestly nobody can answer that question can this get louder than this setup (or give you the best and accurate answer because their are to many variables). Sometimes you just gotta find what you want and if its not loud enough for you add on or upgrade what you have (thats what car audio is about upgrading till you have what you want). I would go with the horns and a nice mid-range and if thats not enough for you then step up to a three-way setup or buy you some speakers with a high sensitivity, take a lot of power and good amp. There is a dude on here that has 4-15 xcons and look at his buil I think he has a three way in his doors, ask him he will be able to guide you in what will be loud enough or close to for your setup. Do you know who?

Would a 3 way have the potential to be louder than a set of id horns and midbass?

I planned on buying a set of image dynamics horns. The ID Horns get so loud I do not know what to use to compliment them. Should I go a midrange and a midbass or just a midbass because the horns tackle such a large range of frequencies?

You should buy 2 or 3 of my icon 12s and preorder 2 or 3 of the new sae-1200s. You can run each amp individually to each sub. That would do work! You would have more cone area and would be around the same price for 3 of them. Plus if you wanted 3 of the sundown amps it would only be 750 and you could probably get a discount on that! My icons were used for a week and I took them out because I wanted to build a ported box but now I am taking the time to build a wall of xcons so no need for these subs.

Forgot to mention that. The way the box is built plays a key factor in the power handling of your subs. My friends ported box blew up both his subs and he was playing them with less than recommended power. However they were pioneer premiers so who knows.

The ids play such a large frequency range. Would it be better to just do a 2 way and stick an 8 in the kick?

Aaron pm me a combo price on 4 of the 1500s please.

The 1500s are way overrated that is why I am asking. Its a possibility 4 1500s will be louder. Actually I forgot that I asked Aaron this question already. I already know the answer ahahahahaha. The 3500s would put out like 400 more watts I think. You mean under ratted? i could only buy one in september unless the package deal was like 900 for two or somewhere around there You do realize 900/2=450 which is more than the sale price.

Also if that is the sundown 1500 it will put out close to 2000 watts rms. The bl will still be able to take that power if you have those options. Which amp do you have if you do not have the sundown?

Did you get any options for it? You should be fine if you have the flatwind, hyperpole or p chamber, and cooling.

i might be able to fit an 8 in my kicks. Would that be better than in my doors?

Nawyce! Dont know if I want to duct tape my aviator though. How is my box prints coming out?
