The Dynaudio MW 172 looks like a nice driver for my application too.

Yeah lol I was thinking of Dayton drivers. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=295-366 Dynaudio is def not on the cheaper end. I have the rockford fosgate 360.2. It has 31 bands of EQ per channel.

I'm really only concerned about a 3 way system, I have CDT HD 4 1/2 components and two 2 1/1in AVI center channels. They do a great job of producing the higher end of the spectrum. It's just the midbass that I'm lacking. It really looks like the critical mass drivers are becoming the most...

awesome review about the 8's. My subass setup is def. not a truly SQ setup as you can see by my signature, but I'm trying to get my frontstage as tonality accuratte with as much loudness as possible, to "attempt" to keep up with the sub stage as much possible. I find since the DD drivers are...

Definitely and interesting discussion about the 8ohm drivers. I did not know that, but physically it makes perfect sense. I've been playing around with the EQ today some and still feel the CDT EF-8 drivers aren't going to produce the kind of sound quality that I want them too. I really believe...

I'm wondering if I were to replace the deep 4 1/2in EF-8 with the shallow MB82 if i could seal the enclosure somehow. Some kind of baffle perhaps. Would the MB82 benefit from that sealed airspace as opposed working IB. The driver would sit on a 2in thick MDF baffle and the doors have been built...

I'm gonna try and EQ it and see what I can come up with. The critical mass speaker looks pretty **** sexy. I'm not concerned about price I have a lot of money in the vechile already and want it to sound right. Thanks for all the replies

I was considering these. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=297-066 http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=297-056 I'm not exactly sure what the difference is. Does anyone have any experience with these.

well the doors had to be fabricated to meet the CDT EF-8's mounting depth which was fairly deep. I'm having a hard time finding the exact number, but if I remember right it was around 4 1/2 inches. 4 ohm impedance (typical car speaker), and no buget in mind. I want to try and drop in the best...

I recently installed CDT EF-8s as my midbass drivers to go along with CDT HD4in components and 2 2 1/2 AVI center channels. These 8in drivers are in heavily deadened doors. I love the way vocals are percussion sounds on the top in of my front stage, but honestly I think the CDT EF-8s are poor...

i stand corrected. I've never heard such a thing, but then again i never had a ground loop issue here are a couple of threads. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4481&highlight=ground+rca http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4481&highlight=ground+rca...

well maybe somebody can explain grounding an RCA to me, cause I've always just plugged my RCA cable into my headunit and run it to the amps or eq and then run other RCAs to my amps. And then find a good ground with a DMM and cleaned it with sandpaper to get to bare metal and ground all my stuff.

You don't ground RCA cables. They are just cables that connect your headunit to amps/eq etc. You ground amps, headunits, eq's, and other hardware. Yes make sure your headunit is well grounded. The only way you'd screw up your SQ from grounding your headunit is if you induced a ground loop. As...
