Posted October 2, 200717 yr Hey everyone i am Ryan. You will here alot from me while i am building my new setup!I have a 2000 Isuzu Hombre (same as an S10), std cab, 5speed, 2.2I had twelve RE 8's in the truck before the teardown, and now i am upgrading: here is an old pic:and for anyone interested it did 148 on the TL mic with a modified MTX 1501D amp.My new setup will look something like this: with 10 ascendant 8's ported with 6 aero ports tuned to around 45hz or so for comps, and if i plug up 3 ports it will tune the box to around 32hz for daily drivenand i will be putting in four 5 1/4's or 6" mids in each door, along with 4 tweets in each door. i have yet to decide on brands for thoseany comments or suggestions on mids/tweets are WELCOME!!!!!!oh and here is a pic of my truck:
October 2, 200717 yr i love installs with lots of small woofers other than that, i'd go with 2 good 6.5's and 2 good tweeters. do you want to try an active 2-way system in front ?

October 2, 200717 yr Author THANKS GUYS!!!!!!!! yea i lucked up on my truck, i have yet to see another like it in person i guess they are kinda rare....and with the wheels i am going for the road race look, low lean, wide spoke wheels..... i have some engine mods, and i am working on a turbo kit for it too!!!anyone have any suggestions on mids/tweet brands?
October 2, 200717 yr Author Also if some of you guys are wondering, i will be using 1/2 mdf on the bottom and back of the box for alittle extra room.as i figure it I need .5 cubes per sub, so say 5 cubes total plus sub displacement. so .07 per sub.total 5.7 cubes, plus aeroport displacementaeroports will be 18" long, so roughly .13 displacment for each 4" flared aero port.total .78 cubesplus the 5.7 would be 6.48 plus a little bit for the braces so roughly 6.5 cubes would do itthe box will be:24" tall12" wide bottom9.25" wide top54" long bottom57" long topshould be 6.48 cubes at just 54" long for the total box, not adding the extra 3" of length at the top of the box that will be 57" long instead of 54" long like the bottom

You can easily get 2 sets up drivers and tweets to keep up with 150+db. but it depends on what your looking for in your speakers to give recomendations. SQ or just a set that can be as loud as the subs?BTW, i saw the first pic and thought you had 12 subs in a box build into the headliner!!

October 3, 200717 yr Author really i am looking to just try and keep up with my bass.I have talked to a couple of people about this and i have pretty much made my mind up that i am going to get 8 classic 5 1/4 Dayton mids, and 8 Audax silk dome tweets.It's only going to cost me 250 or so for all 16 speakers, so i won't be out much. And if i want to upgrade later i can just by removing the cheap ones and installing new ones.i knw those aren't the best brand in the world, but they will be better then most, and with me using a bunch of them they should keep up really well with my bass.
October 3, 200717 yr Author just in case anybody was wondering, Ryan is gay. This josh? Sup man!!!! you sending me an amp yet?i gotta have a 40.1!!!! Nick shot me a price, see what you can do for me
October 3, 200717 yr Author also i bought me some new door panels today.....2 piece with the fabric on the top and plastic on the bottom, 62.50 shipped so i think i did good...here is a pic of the door panels.
October 3, 200717 yr Yep, dis be me. I'm sure Nick is going to take care of you. Why not be a man and cut that bed out!!!!!!!!!!!!Here is proof that Ryan is gay

I really hope your not driving around town listening to music at that level... (will it even play 150 on music or is that a burp/tone?)keep us updated though!

(will it even play 150 on music or is that a burp/tone?)keep us updated though!my old system would do 145 or so on music with the re's. and that was with a sealed setup.so this one being ported with more power and better subs, i hope to get alot more out of it.but i am more interested in having a setup like Tommy Mckinnie's, like a bass race setup......
October 3, 200717 yr IMHO, you could deffinatly get away with 2 sets of speakers. To keep up and be LOUD you could get the RE XXX 6.5's. their 2ohm so powering them enough shouldnt be a problem. If you still decide to go with 8 speakers, the daytons will do fine. But unless you want to enjoy some kanye while geting metered, 4 drivers will easily be enough.

But unless you want to enjoy some kanye while geting metered, 4 drivers will easily be enough.well it's either 16 total 8 mids and 8 tweets, or 8 total 4 mids and 4 tweets then i would need 4 ohms per tweets and per mids to get 4 ohms at the amp.so what good brand can i get for around 200 bucks for 4 mids and 4 tweets that will work well with 100 watts per speaker?
October 4, 200717 yr Author well i have decided to do 2 mids and 2 tweets per door.the mids i am looking at are these:http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.c...tnumber=295-480since they are 8ohm DVC i can get them to 2 ohms at the amp for max power.now as far as tweets go, i still don't have a clue but they need to be 4 ohm, 6 ohm, or 8 ohms a piece, i would perfer 4 or 6 though so i can get some decent power to them as well...anyone have any recommendations on Morel tweets, some where in the 20-30 dollar a piece range?never mind on the morel's they are all 8ohm....
