Damn I want to hear this when it is done!

Very nice equipment. Glad you were able to pick out some tweeters for your active set up

Nice car, I'll be tuned in for this one. I just bought my first Lincoln the other day, an old '92 LSC.

oh a sweet mark very nice. what color,.

thanks guys. i just got most everything installed ups fucked me on my 4500D remote gain.... so i gotta wait for that. im ordering new subs from sundown this week.

and these tweeters are very nice!

I think it's the medium regatta blue but I'm not 100% on that, I'd have to check the codes

Looking good. I'd like to hear how those BG neo-3s and Sundown neo 8s sound when you have some time. Text me, I'll take the suburban so you can take a listen to it.

Nice lookin car man. I bet this is gonna sound great when its done. Keep up the good work!

sure thing, i would really like you to take a look at it aswell.. and perhaps you could take a turn at tuning it ..

cant wait to hear yours!

Im really interested in how you got those 8s to fit behind the door panel, because I know the TC door panels are similar to mine on the inside. Did you have to cut a large amount out?

Also from what the video showed it sounded great.

i didnt take pics of what i cut.. but on the back of the door pannels it has a 5x7 shape on the door pannel its self.. so that it meshes with the factory location so the 5x7 is kinda sealed to the pannle... i shaved that flat, used two 8 inch MDF rings.. mounted siliconed, and then dropped my speaker in and put the door skin on..

the driver side took me alot more time(it was the first) i had to mount it a few times..put the door back togather.. then try again,,, 3 times... the passenger side i got it with out shaving.. but then when i got my amp installed it made noise.. so i took it off shaved it and it worked fine.

Thanks for the reply. Thats kinda what I had to do when I put my crescendo 6.5s in the door make a ring then mount panel, shave repeat.

Can I ask why you made 2 mounting rings?

a few reasons.. it was the only way the basket would sit into the 5x7 hole and its an 8 so its a little deep, and the depth on these cars is shallow. so to insure i had depth, (so the window would roll down) and do make it to where i did not have to cut the sheet metel in the door up.

So you used 2 3/4"

So you used 2 3/4" rings per door to allow the magnet structure to clear the door and cut and shaved the inner plastic panel to allow the cone side of the 8 to clear?

Also how loud are those 8s compared to a normal 6.5 comp set?

not so much the motor, but the basket,and the terminals

shhs i thought the CDT m6's were decent, but damn i was wrong.. i have used alot of midbass speakers, all 6.5's but i never ever heard a drum snap the way they do now with this 8, i mean you hear and feel the snar drum .. its nice...

rap and shit.. well i have never heard rap sound good, but im still playing with the adjustments... but i think its hard to make rap sound natural

side note.. my mom had a demo yesterday with just the mids playing.. nothing else.. and when drum solo came on she light up! she was yelling " i like that shit did you hear it!" yeah mom i did lol

shes gonna be stoked to hear these neo 3's paired with the 8s and the bottom end from my NSs

What do you have the neopro8s crossed at. I am having trouble finding a good spot for them. Right now I am at 85 and 24dB, I want lower though.

What do you usually pay for your town cars? We have this city that only retired people can live in, thats where 95% of the lincolns are and when they sell them.... they aren't cheap! 01s start at 10k

How much do the neo 8s sell for, and do you like them in a 2 way setup?

I checked the SSA store with no luck.

Also kudos on another nice TC man.

nice build , but regarding the question the sundown 8's are around the 100 dollar range

New wheels since last time i saw it. not too shabby.

I heard this front stage today and it sounds absolutely fantastic. The range those tweeters have is ridiculous. Not to mention how well the Sundown 8s blend in. I really like how you kept them in the doors without exterior modification. The V1s were ridiculous on the 4500D... while they were still there. :drink40:
