Posted April 3, 201114 yr CAR: 2002 Grand PrixSub: 1 Fi BTL 18" (Second Gen)Amp: Waiting for the Crescendo 2kBattery: 1 XS d3400 and 1 d925 up frontStock Alt. 110More 6 Cadence 6" Midsand 6 crescendo tweetersRan off a crescendo 4 channelStay tuned!!
April 3, 201114 yr Im tuned in, when you get the Crescendo and use it for a bit, tell us how you like it. Crescendo is supposed to be coming out with new amplifiers soon, so im thinking about ordering one up.
April 5, 201114 yr Author Yeah I don't think I will do that though. I only ordered 1 more pair Of cadence mids, and crescendo tweets. And I also got 2 audiopipe 1500s for the btl 18, not sure about the crescendo, since the efficiency won't be very good at 2 ohms. So I'll do the audio pipes at 1ohm on each coil. And have the sundown amp for mids on way. Will take a bunch of pics for you guys.
April 6, 201114 yr 6 tweeters and mids sounds overkill. Tuned in though Overkill on the tweeters but not the mids... I just put in two cadence 5.25" components with tweets and two 8" mids along with two Dayton 2.5" pillar speakers and infinity kappa 6x9s in the rear deck and I still need more mids. I AM A get four or eight 4" Dayton mids from parts-express for like $15 each, hopefully that does the trick.It's just a test fit for the doors/tweet locations, panels are still rough, and the sub is OFF Check out those Dayton speakers for some quality inexpensive mids, they have all sorts of sizes and alignments... no coaxial bs either. Assorted crossovers to match. go easy on the tweeters: two supers tops. Edited April 6, 201114 yr by SubSam

Assorted crossovers to match. go easy on the tweeters: two supers tops.I agree with mids, I've actually toyed with the idea of doing a couple 8s or 6s in my doors, but can't fit'm all Oh and, got a link to the dayton mids and crossovers?Okay I see these: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=295-328and below they show their 80hz hpf, what about lpf?
April 6, 201114 yr also check DaytonAudio.com they got ts parameters like WHOA for all their effin 200 speakershttp://www.daytonaudio.com/loudspeaker/crossover_components.html lots of crossover components available
April 6, 201114 yr @stefanhinote they have two way and three way xovers on the site, the lpf for the midrange and the hpf for the tweeters usually coincide, same with the woofer lpf and mid hpf on a three way. I strongly recommend the 3.5 k or higher xover for a supertweeter. If I had a choice I would run my mids, highs and tweets off all different amps and only active xovers, but I'm not ballin like that. Yet
April 6, 201114 yr Author I bought my cadence mids for 13 dollars each on amazon like 1 week ago. Their now 30 each on their. Their pretty damn good, and their loud!! Sensitivity is 100db. And it's all about fitting. If I could fit 4 more, I totally would, but for now I'll just add two more. BTL should be here in the AM

I can't imagine they came with crossovers for 13 bucks.
April 7, 201114 yr Haha noooo shit! You did end up going with a 2nd gen 18" btl afterall?? I hope you enjoy it i know i enjoyed mine for sure.
April 7, 201114 yr Looks good I wish i had the money to do a build like this. Just bought two Rockford 1500, still waiting to get them..
