I watched them. Thank you for your effort. Is there any sound advantage to reverse mounting ? Any sound advantage to the 45* bevel (horn) around the woofers and tweeters ? How does it sound ? It's helpful that you tell us the products that you use. When I saw you mixing bondo, I thought...

I just lost my passenger side tweeter, it's dead. I hooked the tweeter line up to my door speakers, Boston coax. This meant I could turn down the hi pass xover to 1kHZ 6dB, as low as the Alpine can play tweeters. It sounds really nice.

Not quite as bad as it sounds. It's a swapped car so much of the rotary wiring going to the PCM was gone anyway, the GM PCM is under the carpet. The driver side WAS a issue and I still have some routing to do there. NoRotors is a site dedicated to converted RX7s and I made a post there about it...

Maybe I should build a "home audio style" test box to get a base line of how they should sound. Everything I've read suggests a 28 liter sealed box, or .99 CuFt. Here are the woofers specs: Fs: 37 Hz, Qms: 3.3, Qes: 0.36, Qts: 0.31, Vas: 27 liters, Re: 3.5 Ohms, Le: 0.11 mH; BL: 6.7 N/A...

Mechanically yes. I used 16ga Scosche wire. The Adire were marked, wide spade +, narrow spade - so the stripe wire went to + on the 6.5" and + on the amp. Acoustically ? I don't know. Both sides are firing toward the transmission tunnel; not aimed. Maybe I'm getting some bass reinforcement or...

They are in the kick panels now. It took a lot of work. Please see my post in Enclosure Design & Construction Help and maybe (your time permitting) suggest ways to solve my frequency response issues...

I built one for my RX7. Not all spare tire wells are round so I don't know if someone could build you one without a Charger trunk to reference. Here's what I did, maybe it would work for you. You need a 4' x 4' sheet of 3/8 plywood, screws hold better in plywood than MDF. You need a jigsaw...

I made a quick & dirty spare tire amp rack. Avionixx 800.2 (200x2 wpc) for the woofers and Coustic Power Logic (65x2 wpc) for the Max Fidelity MFDT neo 30mm tweeters. I have a old Alpine HU with Bass Engine Pro (no Imprint) set to 3-way operation. I set the hi pass and upper mid to 3.2mhz...

Maybe it's possible to use existing bolt holes in your design. Sometimes manufacturers use plastic rivets into unthreaded holes in sheet metal. If this is the case in the '10 Camaro maybe you could replace the rivet with threaded rod and nuts/washers on each side of the unthreaded hole ?

Some reading material for you. Quarter Wavelength Loudspeaker Design Transmission Line Speakers Here is a cabinet I made a long time ago that is a Ron Clarke folded horn design with aspects of transmission line/QTWP wave action. "Where to start" ? You need a software calculator to model the...

Hmm, 125 views but no replies. I thought there would be more interest. They're in there. I listened to the 6.5" with a 65W amp cuz I don't have the second amp hooked up yet. No tweeter yet. The passenger side was clean, female voice was well produced. Bass was nicely balanced with the rest of...

I had a 94 with the Mach 460 system. The 6x8 in the doors use one amp and are bridged mono. The rear deck 6x8 use the other amp, also mono. Both amps are in the rear deck and the speakers are NOT 4ohm. All 4 "tweeters" are powered from a small amp/x-over in the console under the HU/CD and are...

Hi CarAudio fans. I'm hoping you can look at some of these pics and give any comments or advice to make my results better. I'll use this sticky list to get the particulars out of the way. Vehicle : 93 Mazda RX7 with '01 Z28 LS1 engine and 6 speed trans. Location in the vehicle: Kick panels...

I have parts for a FD RX7, anything you looking for in particular ? I have a LS1 flywheel, needs a bead blast. Most of the 7 parts are tan interior but if your 7 is a FD, I'm your huckleberry. I'm also interested in the FA 2150

Hey, I have a FD too. Where do you have the sub ? In a box between the shock towers or in the spare tire well ? Where is the amp ? That Polk looks like a nice amp but maybe we could help more if you told us what HU (radio) you have. Your amp is TriMode capable so that is prolly why it's working...
