so what your saying iss you cannot afford this project?

you want a tweeter that is going to be stupid loud but you want one smaller than 2"s?

your not going to find a sound Q tweeter that takes 100RMS 1" LARGE and thats going to get 130bd.. im sorry but its not going to happen.. this is why irecommend increasing SD by adding another set of tweeters...

again if youd read the thread, youd see my situation. im not the typical CA.com teenager saying "yo dawg, i want my ears to bleed, but i want dem to bleed to some high quality soundz!" ive been running this f***ed set of rainbows for years now...literally ive had no sound on the left side for a couple years....im just sick of it now. ive been to broke to do anything, but i cant freakin take it. i can get something good cheap, i know i can, it's just going to take some research...hence this thread.

If your going to run active and want loud get just get pro audio drivers and be done with it. You can get the drivers for a decent price and be much louder than even 2 sets of components. The drivers I'm using cost about 800 total and are high end PA drivers, that total could drop to under 100 if you really needed it too. At any pricepoint your looking at a MUCH better value than car audio drivers. I'd put my equipment up against anything CA has to offer easily. I've messed with the image dynamics gear alot. My tweeters are their horn bodies with the drivers they rebadge to make the cd-2 neo's. That's a 900 set of speakers right there in car audio, I think I paid under 500 total and again, the CA brand horn was the expensive part. I ran the XS mids as well, the 69's for abotu 6 months. I paid WELL under retail for them new (250) and the full on PA mids I replaced them with are still a good step up and I got those straight from the US distributor for 300. The XS's were being pushed to the ragged edge with the 250 watts I had on them. Now that I have 8 ohm drivers my new speakers only get about 150. They are still considerably louder and alot cleaner at high volumes since they are only at like 3/4 RMS in the first place. I could get the XS's to smell and they still didnt' provide that kind of output. All that being said, the XS mids were still the loudest actual mids for car audio I ever played with and had the best midbass. Even vs some SUPER overpriced "SQ" gear (looking at you focal)

obviously you cant comprehend that i wouldnt be going for SQ with a TAILGATE setup

this is what ive been hearing, which is why i was so interested. i have a $30 gift card to amazon, so im thinking about picking up those selenium mids. then i could put a selenium PA setup up against the diamond hexs i just bought, my CMX kicks, and the seas textiles and several other CA setups ive owned. i want to see (hear) what PA setups are all about...just gotta fit it in there somehow lol

 

[Big Ry 10+ year member]

well i finally got the seas in tonight. i honestly expected more. i cant seem to get th EQ right. it is rather raspy and bright. and i have everything above like 2k at -4 at least. i didnt get a whole lot of time to mess around because i had to go in because i got work early. and i just did an eyeball TA job. perhaps backing down the gains would help. i thought that textiles werent typically bright, similar to silks. was i misinformed here?

Textile is silk.

The Selenium 6s would be great with a good bullet. Did you ever hook up the ST200s to hear them? I would think that they would go together rather well.

If you want a setup out back for some sound, just tweets alone wont sound good. You would need to get the Selenium D250-X with the long throw horn to play vocals well.

i just installed my ES02s and there freaking amazing.. there abit too inefficient for your install but on aixs there freaking loud.. i have about 110 clean to them and they don't break a sweat.. i have to say other than maybe a hand full of super highend tweeters like the focal utopias there the best sounding tweeter ive yet to hear.. easily surpasses any 1" tweeters midrange detail depth and output.. too bad you want to go freaking deaf and not enjoy the bliss...

textile is silk? i always thought it was ceramic? dont they use ceremaics for sound reproduction? ill be ****ed. well anyways, i messed with the EQ for like a **** hour trying to get things right. i basically have to keep anything between 3k-5k at -6 just to bear it. theyre sounding pretty good now, but they dont have the output i expected. i know i still have a nuked mid, so thats going to play a role in the output and EQing, could be all head games for all i know. i have them on the dash in swivle cups, directly on axis. ill have the diamonds i ordered next week and im about to get the selenium mids on amazon now. so after a week of these, ill throw the diamonds in. depending on how that goes, i may or may not be using the seas again. i want to try the selenium mids too. maybe left side selenium and right side DA for a side-by-side comparison? lol

i threw one ST200 onto my buddy's roommates sony 7.1 receiver. im not sure of the model, but it was a little dated but it still does 100W/channel. i didnt use any filter either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif but i only let it play for 5 seconds or so. it wasnt very loud to be honest (compared to his towers), but the again i didnt touch any settings on the receiver to see what was up.

if i end up doing a tailgate setup, i probably wouldnt mount anything under the car. it'd make more sense to simply build boxes with some mids in them and an xover. so i may do that with whatever mid/tweet combo i end up not using in my car.
