how much power did you have going to them and did you seal the doors if so how good was the midbass and how clear and loud did the highs get

did you have them on passive or active

why are you wanting something else

[Macklessdaddy]

haven't heard many comp sets but the midbass is very good to me( i have very good upfront bass) they are getting 150 aside run passive and they scream

[king ranch]

good i plan on going with these and running about 120-140rms per side

I wouldn't put any more than 120rms to that set...the CL-61 isn't that strong of a mid with the xover they're giving you with it.

[king ranch]

well what set would u recommend to handle a good amount of power for under 170 bucks

i am planning on either getting a kicker 650.4 or the 850.4 model to run my fronts and rear fill

so either 120rms
or 175rms

what bout these on 120rms or 175rms

[ToyTundra]

Dynaudio System 240MKII, son

[dumple]

diamond d661s

[tcguy85]

well what set would u recommend to handle a good amount of power for under 170 bucks

the rsd's take a lot of power and are way under that budget.....:D

[king ranch]

do they have good mibass and very clear and loud highs

i just find it crazy that something that cheap can sound better than a set of 200 dollar comps

[DD_Dave]

i run different sets in different vehicles

[DD_Dave]

Here is the set i run in my Saleen nothing fancy....8" German made /MB Quarts..with image dynamics mini horns through an active trunkmount eq crossover....

[dak0ta_g33k]

how do those kickers do and do u have them free aired

will be installing them tomorow, they will be free aired and hooked to the cs1.x crossover with the ID horns. picked them because they were on sale

[tcguy85]

i just find it crazy that something that cheap can sound better than a set of 200 dollar comps

yes they do. they are cheap, but sure don't sound cheap.

[king ranch]

well let me kno how those kickers sound

and i might be buying a pair of rsds if they are truly what everyone says they are

Try to find some CL-62's with the DRT-25 tweeter and a better xover (I happen to be selling a set of CDT CL-62's with the DRT-25 silk tweeter and upgraded 560i xover...not trying to get you to buy them...just saying that the CL-61 is the bottom of their line of mids).

[tcguy85]

i might be buying a pair of rsds if they are truly what everyone says they are

read all the reviews man.

[king ranch]

i have read them and i am still the kinda person thats has to hear something to believe it you kno what i mean

[tcguy85]

i have read them and i am still the kinda person thats has to hear something to believe it you kno what i mean

i too was skeptical but then i bought them and quickly realized what the hype was all about. for $87 take the chance. i bet you will like them. i have mine dialed in reaaaal nice.

but as long as your doors are deadened and sealed and you have a good 150 watts per side you'll be set.

[king ranch]

well i plan on getting the kicker 650.4 so they will have around 120-140rms per side or if needed i will go with the kicker 850.4 so i dont have to crank the gains

[tcguy85]

well i plan on getting the kicker 650.4 so they will have around 120-140rms per side or if needed i will go with the kicker 850.4 so i dont have to crank the gains

why a 4 channel? unless you are going active get a big 2 channel. i had mine on a ZX550.2 when i had mine running passive.

[king ranch]

well i carry alot of people with me and in the back they will have 2 12's l7's right inbetween of them so i figued i need some rear fill and i personally like rear fill

because this is how my setup will be its a f150 king ranch with bucket seats so i am taking out the rear console and getting a custom made ported box to fit inplace of the console inbetween the rear seats so it might be necessary for some rear fill

i will prob by 2 sets of comps and not hook up the tweeters for the rear unless its necessary

so would the A pillar be a good spot to mount tweeters

[tcguy85]

ok.

in trucks, A-pillars on-axis, seems very popular.

[king ranch]

axis???

dont laugh but whats that mean

and if i need the extra tweeters for the rear for passangers so they can hear the music as well where would a good spot to mount tweeters in the back so it doesnt mess up the front stage

would behind the back seats be a good spot like in the back rear corner about 1ft from the back seat headrest or should i mount them on the door panels or in the kicks in the rear

this is if i only need them

[ProgMtl]

If you're going to go with full-range in the rear don't waste the money on comps...just get a decent set of coaxs

[king ranch]

so if i need highs in the rear go with good coaxs

[RAM_Designs]

real men run active :fyi:

[king ranch]

well i am not too experienced so what all do i need to run active

[tcguy85]

real men run active :fyi:

yup, nice powerful, active front stages with no rear fill. :D

[ProgMtl]

real men, huh?

[tcguy85]

axis???

dont laugh but whats that mean



on-axis means pointing right at you... off-axis means not pointing right at you.

[king ranch]

yup, nice powerful, active front stages with no rear fill. :D

well what will i need to run active and for my first set of comps should i go active or passive

[king ranch]

on-axis means pointing right at you... off-axis means not pointing right at you.

well if i mount them in the a pillar they would be facing the windshiled only way i could do it

[ProgMtl]

make sure you guys tell him just how much is involved in running active...all the time it takes to tune, deaden properly, proper HU, etc.

[tcguy85]

well what will i need to run active and for my first set of comps should i go active or passive

going active isn't THAT hard but you still have to know certain things. and you'll need either a hu capable of doing it or an external processor to control it. its easier all from the HU.

in a pick-up i think just a nice powerful front stage will be plenty.... even for the peeps in the back seat.

[tcguy85]

well if i mount them in the a pillar they would be facing the windshiled only way i could do it

make pods for them

[ProgMtl]

agreed on the powerful front stage for a pick-up

[king ranch]

how would i make pods for them


ohh and whats a good hu i can go active with

[tcguy85]

how would i make pods for them


ohh and whats a good hu i can go active with

fiberglass for the pods

9887 or 880 for active capable hu's.

[king ranch]

well i was looking at the 9887 or the pioneer d3 because i want a 2din with nav

and for the pods seems like too much time and work i am not too expereicend with glass

[tcguy85]

well i was looking at the 9887 or the pioneer d3 because i want a 2din with nav

and for the pods seems like too much time and work i am not too expereicend with glass

yea i'm not into fiberglass either. i did a little ghetto work with hot glue to get my left tweeter on-axis. :D

[king ranch]

thanks for the help guys

does anyone know how to get door panels off a f150 97-03 years

i love that truck.

[king ranch]

well i like it to besides the lack of space to put a loud system in it its almost impossible especially if you want it to look stock where its not odd looking

only other thing which i plan to do down the road is do a port in the cab from the bed bc i have a tonea cover so i plan on doing 6-8 12's in the bed ported into the cab should be really loud

[NoobieAudio]

that is just madness. trust me by the time your expirenced enough to do an effective cab port form bed you'll have a new truck. and you'd be surprised what can of bump you can get out of a few shallow mounts.

[NoobieAudio]

my dads f-350 is loud as hell

[king ranch]

if u love it enough buy it i will sell it lol

actually i wont never sell this truck its a 01 and only has 70k miles on it not bad at all i dont drive it much and i plan on turning into a show truck with 26's on it since its 2wd and putting around 4.80 gears in it and a supercharger and load it out with the best audio equipment possible including drop down tv's plan on doing a 17 inch drop down which will be huge in that truck

and getting custom made kicks that have are made to match the interior it will be a wood grain finish to it and plan on getting all the seats leather redone and stained back to original color and all new carpet when i deaden the floor so it will be basically brand new

[king ranch]

the thing is with shallow mounts i dont even have room for shallow mounts without taking out rear console

and no i wont have a different truck i will keep this truck even when i get a new one for what i will get for it for trade in isnt worth it to me to do that when i can turn it into a fast azz nice looking king ranch sitting on 26's and a loud azz system and decked out tvs and interior

this year with a supercharger is one of the faster trucks ford makes look at how slow the new models are even with a s/c

[jmanpc]

sig.

[NoobieAudio]

oh the console is constricting you? pictures please. im sure you can do two seperate boxs. glass them to get max cu ft out of the space. do two shallow mount 12's in there

[king ranch]

well i was told seperate boxes kill one another and doesnt sound as loud if its in one box

and where might i possibly be able to put subs under the seats i have about 4 inches high and about 10 inches wide if that and there is no room behind seats

only place i have room which right now i have one 10 mtx in a small box in this plce is between the rear and front console

[NoobieAudio]

seperate boxs aren't that bad. in a single sealed box the airspace should be divided anyway. well i can't help you unless i was there. not familiar with the rear console. **** fancy truck

[king ranch]

i will get pics tommorow and in about 2 years this truck will blow peoples minds away lol

but i am going to get some rest i will post pics tommorow

[skydeaner]

sperate boxes are optimal. Pics of truck please.

[NoobieAudio]

sperate boxes are optimal. Pics of truck please.

optimal = better

three measurements please

[NoobieAudio]

are you all sure 150 is safe for those RSDc6.5? everything i find says it is 120max

[spinlock]

Currently infinity ref 6.5's which sounded great till they blew (at a massive 60W) a while ago. Rainbow CMX 265's in the mail bound for a JL 300/2v2 also in the mail :D

[-shred-]

active is just powered by an amp correct?

[doitor]

Hibrid Audio Technologies Legatias L831-3.

L8's getting 300 watts each.
L3's getting 150 watts each.
L1's getting 150 watts each.

Total power to front stage 1,200 watts.

[DeboDaddy]

PG RSD's

[tcguy85]

are you all sure 150 is safe for those RSDc6.5? everything i find says it is 120max

yup.

i am running mine active, with 200 watts rms per mid and 100 watts rms per tweeter. they take it fine. they sound crazy.

[-shred-]

tc so thats a 4 channel amp per pair?

[tcguy85]

tc so thats a 4 channel amp per pair?

one 4 channel run active to the pair.

[azbass]

i gots cool ones

[NoobieAudio]

one 4 channel run active to the pair. im really interested in your active set up. you have a 2ch running to an external crossover and then the tweets off the HU like normal speakers? and what crossover do you have, you seem to love it. i ordered some RSDcs6.5 and a autotek MM 125.2 i need to know what else i'd need to throw my money away on

[NoobieAudio]

i also got about $400 of sound deadener on the way and two RSd 12" coming. i wanna do things right.

[Ignatowski]

see sig

[NoobieAudio]

yes i see it? one of those an outside crossover or something? i don't know everything made for car audio

[tcguy85]

i have the 880prs head unit which is active capable, so my HU is acting as the crossovers. the amp is a 4 channel with staggered outputs. 200x2 AND 100x2.

you would need another 2 channels of amplification, and either a HU capable of controlling it all or an external crossover. i prefer to do it all right from the HU though. much simpler and any setting can be changed right from the drivers seat.

[Navy guy]

come on guys.

thread jacking much????

just list your comps, there is no need to discuss how to run active setups in this thread.
