    WOOFER PLACEMENT IN 3 WAY SYSTEM

    Well I use a nice Kenwood deck that has 13 band EQ, Time and Phase Alignment as well as all kinds of other goodies. Is there anyway to use that to make it all come together? Fade up to the front and time align the midwoofers to match up? I'm going for a more surround feel anyways probably...

    WOOFER PLACEMENT IN 3 WAY SYSTEM

    Wouldn't that move all the directional sound down super low? Also Iike I said the a pillar speakers are right by my ears like right by them. Normally I would agree on the no rear fill but I think it makes the most sense here. The door speakers are like 2 feet away and not pointed anywhere near...

    WOOFER PLACEMENT IN 3 WAY SYSTEM

    I don't see how splitting frequencies to respective speakers that they are built to be played it confusing. I'm not trying to get some crazy output from 6x4 speakers I am well aware if how power handling works. The 6x4 speakers are literally right next to my head. They are the speakers that I...

    WOOFER PLACEMENT IN 3 WAY SYSTEM

    I have used NVX in the past and I love them. However those 6.5s will not fit. The only ones that fit fit are the small diameter basket "big name" speakers that will fit. Crutchfield shows my cutout is 5.1 which is tiny and not ideal and I'm not planning on making them larger I'm trying to get...

    WOOFER PLACEMENT IN 3 WAY SYSTEM

    My door speaker cutout is only 5.1 inches. Most of the good aftermarket speakers are 5.7-5.7 inches, and the big name aftermarket 5.25s like Kicker, JBL, and Alpine are all over priced and underwhelming with terrible mid bass and below performance even on a 4 channel. Spent $90 on JBL 5 1/4...

    "Hi-Fi" or "PA Style"

    How do those compare to other ones you've had? I have an SQL12 I bought when they dropped the price, but I just cannot bring my self around to spending a few hundred on a set of woofers

    "Hi-Fi" or "PA Style"

    For sure. I've always preferred silk domes over metal just because like you said they give me terrible ear fatigue since I have naturally sensitive ears anyways. I had a set of kicker CS components with I think titanium dome tweets. Destroyed my ears even with 12-20k tuned down hella and -3db on...

    "Hi-Fi" or "PA Style"

    Yuppo. I had a set of NVX Coaxials with the silks domes and they sounded fantastic but lacked on the higher end so I installed some 3 inch compression tweets from DB (I think MT-102s) and even just in the headunit with every high band cut by -3 DB, they would destroy my ears to the point where I...

    "Hi-Fi" or "PA Style"

    What do you think of the sound quality when they are driven with relatively low power? Being ultra sensitive they'd still be loud but they should be able to hit lower notes without distortion and higher notes without breakup

    "Hi-Fi" or "PA Style"

    That's what I've noticed with most ultra sensitive speakers, especially aluminum dome tweeters. I think it's called cone breakup and stuff cones made out of rigid material like metal. Not sure exactly how it works but it destroys my ears

    "Hi-Fi" or "PA Style"

    Just wanted to see what everyones thoughts on Hi-Fi speakers (I know Hi-Fi is a HT phrase but couldn't think of what else to call them), like a normal component set that comes with a woofer and tweeter, possibly a mid-range with a subwoofer for 60hz down. Generally trades sensitivity in lieu of...

    What's Good For Sound Absorption?

    Tryna make my car a little quieter. Not tryna go %100 cause I don't have thousands to spend on Resonix. I know about how to layer it and what generally works best and where to use it. Wanted to to MLV on my floors up to the firewall but I don't want to use it anywhere else. Mostly cause I've...

    Thoughts on "all in one" deadeners

    Learned that lesson when I closed the door on my truck and 3 gallons worth of water splashed around

    Thoughts on "all in one" deadeners

    I've heard that pool noodles make good deadener as well from what I've seen on XJ forums. Thought about wedging it in the door panel between the outer skin and the speaker baffle and then getting some Kilmat on there

    Thoughts on "all in one" deadeners

    That's what I was thinking. The reviews had me second guessing myself so I wanted to get opinions from people have actual experience with sound deadener rather than the laymen's Amazon review that has no frame of reference. Best to stick to just 80 mill butyl and then a layer of CCF on top...
