Any plans for an 8" driver ??

It's a possibility, the demand is not strong enough at the moment.

Gotcha. Thanks.

 any tweeter recommendations to use with these in a 2-way active setup?

That would depend on placement. I'll be working on mine sometime next week and be providing some feedback.

I will probably just have them right next to the mids In the doors

Doors isnt very specific.  Off axis, on, partly, bottom or top, type of car etc...

My plans for these are to build a set of book speakers with the 8 ohm set and the 4 ohm set I plan on doing some testing with my carbons. Of course Aaron will be accompanying me at some points during all this.

Things are just on hold till I get my garage complete.

I will be making a baffle for the door panel In about the stock location. So the bottom of the door probably around 90 degrees off axis . Was thinking of mounting tweeters there also. Could maybe find a different spot but there Is not much space anywhere. . It will be In a 93 cherokee

I hope to do a nice line array with them once I move to my next place.

Do we have a recommended crossover points for these?

They can vary a bit on the install, tweeter choice, subwoofer and overall goals.  Meaning you could high pass them as low as 55hz if you like if your doors (pods/kicks etc.) are well dampened.  You can run them up to 3000hz if you want if your tweets are good to go there.

Any graphs available to see like other raw drivers provide? Thanks

Sorry, I have been leaking little bits here and there.  It has been a very long (a year) process to get these off the ground.  Because these buggers are NOT a basic overhung 1" or 1.5" coil, it took time to get parts and get the design right.  Not to mention some changes at the factory that caused a number of delays.

Ok, so these are a copper coil, shorting ring, solid pole, phase plug, underhung design.  In final testing, they are a very very clean, warm sound.  They were right at home in an IB rig that Neal helped out on big time, so dropping into an average car door is excellent.  The Evil6.5's have push terminals that are good for 10 gauge wire.  Nomex spiders, so they will able take the same long term abuse that the SSA subs are known for.  Also, the glass fiber cones that were available, performed a little better than the poly cones in testing.

I will probably be setting these at 120-150rms. 

Specs are below, on the bottom right.  Follow the green slope for the production model.  I had put together a slightly different model to see what combination of aspects were the best performing for our goals, so ignore the purple slope and specs on the left.

 

What about a SPL vs Frequency version?

Don't have one at this time, will need to send out a few to get that info.

Having some fun and making some grins with these! Still tweaking and tuning.

Am I wrong or isn't that a tweeter for a house stereo?

Just as much as the Alpine F1 Status set using a home audio mid.  In general home audio drivers are a better choice when run active even in a car.  Car audio companies typically rebadge, copy and bastardize to get the price down so they can include a crossover as well.

I havnt used a car audio mid or tweeter In an Install for years

House stereo's do sound better but   There in a entirely better environment. I ran some cerwin vega home audio speakers in a geo once they sounded ok. But some house speakers can go up to $1000's a set or even more for the really high end stuff so they should sound good. To me it just seems like over kill to run them in a car. I guess I like my house stereo aimed for perfect sq cause it's a lot easier and my car to just be rediculously loud like cracking the concrete as I roll down the block. In my cars I don't care as much about imaging and covering the frequency range I like really low low's and really high pitched mids and highs. I even try to adjust out a lot of my mid bass not all just some I think it might have something to do with my bad hearing but I have always preferred that sound in the car. But it's gotta be clear no distortion or rattling or anything else but music.

Sounds like you speak of just opinions and not experiences. I been using raw drivers made for home audio as well for years and better than their car audio counterparts.

How were these cerwin vega drivers installed?
