Update: There is a set of new-old-stock MB Quart components (the old school German made ones) that I have my eyes on (they are practically free, so no cash wasting here). I found out that the HF drivers and the LF drivers used to make up this component set were also sold individually. I then...

If you have a 2 way front stage that is equiped with pasive crossovers and the manufacturer suggests (for example) 125 watts per side then you decide that you want to dump the passive crossovers and instead use an active crossover, how much power do you give the tweeters? And the low frequency...

Any of those should work well if properly installed, powered etc.

Cut the hole out and make/buy an adaptor that is cut to accept a 6.5 or 5.25 and mount the adaptor to the 6x8 location then mount the 6.5/5.25 to the adaptor.

I am having a difficult time finding a good place for my front stage (175hz and up). Kicks arnt a option and the doors are already taken by the midbass drivers. I do however have a spot that would work well space wise, but I am not sure how it will sound there because I have never tried this nor...

Does that sub really sound better facing foreward??

It is more or less taboo to have a rear stage in high end car audio as far as I can tell. Just try it without them for a while. I know that in all of my systems rear fill would be a parasite to my electrical system, a waste of an amp + rcas, wiring etc. and a waste of money + time. If you...

My advise...get the speakers out of the doors and into some kick pods. I have a 3 way front stage for my current project. The mids and tweets in kicks and 8s in the doors. The 8s will be fully enclosed in a plastic custom sealed enclosure that will be mounted in the doors. Fully sealed=no...

Is that what you say every time you are proved wrong little man??? You way of "saving your face" I guess...

0.19 cubic feet??? Getting that small might be kinda tricky.

I don't know who I talked to, but he had an accent... And about the enclosure...how big should the enclosure be? I plan on using these for mid bass, so 60hz-175hz is what I am shooting for. Making the enclosure and installing it in the door with this speaker is not a problem. My only problem as...

How big of a sealed enclosure and what is it about the specs that tell you that? The specs say powerhandling 200 watts, but how much RMS as I supposed to give it? I tried calling CDT with these questions and all the guy there told me was put it in an enclosure or IB...whatever you want and...

Clean it up, get a new srcew, ring terminal etc. or whatever you are using for a connection, reassemble and put everything in place then put some of that corrosion resistant spray on it so that it don't happen again...what I do is spray the stuff on my finger then rub it onto the electrical...

I have some MBQ premiums too (the older ones) and yes they do like to be fed. 280 seems like quite a bit, but if you have to choose then 280 up front would be the way to go...and ditch the rears. Just be carefull how you set the gain...

I have a pair of 8s and I would like to run them in the front doors in a new project of mine and I was wandering how to determine which would be best between making a fiberglass/plastic enclosure and running them IB in the doors?? Obviously the small enclosure would protect from water and what...
