[QUOTE="Bobby.b., post: 8775839, member: 684541"] Hey all new member. Skip to 2nd paragraph for the short version. My last set up was 2 15" incriminator woofers sealed about 4.5' with an orion xtrpro 2400 and 4 silver flute 8s in the doors with some vifa silk domes all active in a single cab chevy. Its a good set up but theres just no bass in the doors. I did everything to treat them got tired of it and even fiberglassed an enclosure for them, better but not great. Tried goldwood woofers, same bass much worse sounding voice. Before this setup Ive done 6.5 components and then double 6.5 mtm. So that's my experience so far with door speaker set ups and imo they all completely lack substance from 60-150hz, which matters! Anyways I'm working on a new setup for my 05 chevy van and the door panels got plenty of room and depth to put an 8" SUBWOOFER in the door. I'm hoping putting some actual bass in the front stage will allow me to use a simple sub set up like 1 big ported 18 that wont reach very high. Where I'm utterly confused is what kind of midrange speaker I should use for a 3 way front stage. I'm planning on using the same 1" horn loaded timpathy tweeters again unless someone has a better suggestion. I can make anything happen as far as fitment if I have to hack the doors up make fiberglass pods ect I can do it. So what are most people using for midrange speakers, 5", 4.5"?? Also open to suggestions on some 8 woofers with good xmax that work ok for a door install, I'd rather not have to make a box for them but if I have to I can. Any input on midrange and woofers appreciated. [/QUOTE]
