Except for that crossover that I took a jackhammer to :P
Yea, that's why I had to step up to the Crescendo MP6 mids. I had them on about 100w per side. And just couldn't turn my volume up too high. That's my only complaint for them. Everything else is phenomenal. The mid-bass is even really good at lower volumes, just not when you bottom them out.
If you haven't had a problem at 70hz with that slope, then you're fine. You'll hear them bottom out, and just back down the volume a bit. You'll know it when you hear it, it's like a loud clap or pop. Nothing to shit your pants over, just turn it down a click or two.

Finally mounted the tweets to the sails properly. When situated directly on top of the stock tweeter locations, it looks like a natural extension of the sails. I love the way it turned out, and it was sooo easy. Used some Loctite epoxy for plastics to join the back of the tweeter mount to the sail. I love the way it looks... the pic doesn't do it justice.

So, since I had to take the door panels off anyways, I went ahead and did something I didn't know I was supposed to do a few months ago when I installed these. I placed two layers of closed cell foam tape (one layer wasn't thick enough to bridge the gap) around the CL-6. The difference that less than a 5 spot worth of foam tape made is unbelievable.
Today I ran about 80 feet of wire from the inside of the doors to the trunk of my car for an active setup on this set. I was doubting that it would make a difference. The cl-6 woofer and tw-25 tweet are cdt's entry level gear and all... I was very, very wrong. It sounds incomparably better. There are no words to describe how amazing my front stage sounds now. No words, but plenty of goosebumps on my arms. Its phenomenal.

won big with that little tip. I can't believe that 1) I didn't read/hear about this when researching for my lil install, and 2) no one brings it up when answering the eight-times-a-day noob questions about making speakers sound decent. Going active and installing that foam made my $80, used, entry-level cdt comps sound like I paid waaaaaay more than I did.

I am the only one I see on forums recommending foam seals. It is vital to keep sound out of the door panel cavity. Those cheap and easy seals provide better imaging, better midbass, and more natural midrange.
You have experienced how install effort is more important than money spent. Congrats and job well done!

Sometimes it's nice seeing the speakers instead of hiding them. I think speakers are beautiful?
I used a silver hammered paint for plastics, disassembled my dash pieces, and painted the black and grey silver. I like it, but it would have been much better in a black car. You just gotta make it your own and enjoy it.
