i was looking forward to his advice and opinion of my build but i haven't seen him post in awhile

Edited by lithium

Gotcha.

Are you trying to just replace the crossovers or the whole system?

well shit now i need new tweeters!

i rebuilt some alpine cross overs.. it was fine... but i lost a tweet!

so i wanna get new ones... and maybe some high power cross overs... or finaly go active..

i have asked many times about going active and the other members will tell you ... i never pull the trigger.

i just dont wanna get a new deck and i dont have great prossing in my pioneer 5700 dvd

but i need somthing LOUD and clear.. and full.. i listen to rap.

*cough* hybrid audio

I thought you were going to run active man? What happened to that dream?

yeah you were one of the members i speak of!

i wanted too.. but i also wanted to belive in a simple passive system to serve my needs.

You could go with a set of Kicker SS series components

There are definitely LOUD and CLEAR but also OVER PRICED

im trying to stay off the grid.....

part express

john what are you talkin about hybrid? lets talk

The L1Pro is nice, you should be able to match them to your existing woofers. Or, you could take advantage of the trade in, trade up program.

i figured i would use the CDT drivers, unless i can get a shallow mount speaker that could handle great midbass..

tell me more about this trade in.. im intrested...

john. i tryed it my way... now im open. but im still cheap.

k, well.. any idea what those midwoofers will play up to? And budget? annnnddd do you have a preference metal or textile? and, what size can you fit/show me your tweet mounting location.

im even thinking about doing double 6.5 and tweeters.....

but i think my listing pleasure is also weird... i like it clean crisp a lil tinny but not harsh... does this pan out or an i drunk?

  • Author

oh yeah location...

Picture191.jpg

if i glass i can get them in the A piller.. not really in this pic so well...

or i can put them on the tallest grey part of the door....

and you can see my current location.

i can not do kick pannels.

If you can possibly run the woofers in your door and seal it off as best as possible to give it around 1.0^3ft that will smooth out a hump at 100hz.

For tweeters, here are a couple cheapies

The 26NFA, you'll have to have an EQ on to smooth it out a little, it'll probably do better with being louder. The 25 should be a bit better in terms of quality.

Cream of the crop though... http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...products_id=908

:D

Call Ken at CDT tell him what happened upgrade to SatNet- 560 4th order Eliptic xover and get a DRT-26 aluminum tweet. That will handle power and be a nice crisp tweeter. How much power you running?

Not to steal a thread... but what is the trade up program and how does it work?

Edit:nm, I found the info in th HAT forum.
