    Memphis M series mids

    Thanks. I know there is a thin plastic encosure, not sure who makes it, that goes in the cutout of the speaker and houses the woofer...maybe about .1 cu/ft. Is this still avail and is it even worthwhile? I will try the poly unless there is a better medium to use. I did look at the deflex...

    Memphis M series mids

    The door is dynamatted all around, wonder if some poly-fil behind the woofer would do any good. The plastic pocket on the base of the door is also matted from behind.

    Memphis M series mids

    I really like these 6 1/2 components...but something just doesn't sound right with the mids. Now that I have some power running to them, maybe it's the factory enclosure (jetta-new style) or maybe it's the cone....the center is removed to allow the tweet or a cone in place of the tweet when not...

    Arizona or Florida?

    Been to Tampa and AZ many times. Phoenix hands down, why? Tampa is a decent city but the humidity is killer, plus there are too many retirees driving Town Cars and Park Avenues 10 MPH under the speed limit Both are hotter than the hinges of hell, but Phoenix is much more tolerable and you...

    They sound very good, played with the x-over looking for some distortion and it sounded a bit like a plastic bucket crossed at around 70-80 Hz...prob cuz of the enclosure but they really cleaned up around 55-60Hz, and hit pretty hard.

    +1 on that...this one seems to be more of a family anyway.

    Air compressor suggestions...?

    Get a quiet one. The single-stage compressors for low-CFM usage like nailers etc....really drive ya nuts when you try to use a ratchet, inflate tires, etc, sounds like a lawnmower. There are a few belt-drive single stages that are quiet, but you will thoroughly enjoy the quietness of a belt...

    Mk4 Jetta.....A-pillars and the mids are pretty low in the door. Door is matted but I would really like an enclosure for the mid...it plays down to 60 very well but I know i'm losing a ton of air through the swiss cheese door. While on topic...has anyone successfully built a small enclosure for...

    I adjusted some more and it sounds much better, just hard to go by the x-over freq's on the amp... If I go with an active X-over, I assume to install after the EQ brain? Been awhile since i've been playin with car stereo's, alot sure has changed since the Coustic XM-7 and the Power-Logic amps

    Specs on the X-over are: High-pass/slope 5K-18 Low-pass/slope 4K-12 I would like to cross the highs down around 2K but not sure if they can take it...I assume they can. Feel free to recommend an aftermarket X-over, passive is fine...not much room for an active but worst case I can make it...

    X-over used is the Memphis that came with the kit. I have the X-over on the amp in the OFF position.

    The system includes for the fronts: Alpine CDA-9851 Memphis 15-MSYNC6 components Alpine MRP-F450 Alpine ERA-G320 EQ All the wiring is in correct polarity, no whine, but even with the EQ flat, the highs just seem very overly bright. I have tried the tweets out of phase to no avail. BBE is...
