My first attempt at car audio was an 3-way up front and subs in the 6x9 location. No box, 2 sets of clubs, 4 pairs of shoes, and a bunch of gloves. My rolling locker room. Here is a picture of my setup.

Hmm. i too will be running a 3 way at some point this year. Im going to have my id xs65 as my midbass, hybrid L3 as mid and still in the air on my tweeter but either my xs28 or one of the hybrid tweeters. Since my headunit is only 3 way active capable and i still plan to run at least one of my idmax subs im going to have to run the L3 and tweeter passive, yet active if that makes since? my mid/tweeter will be in my a pillars so time alignment should not be an issue.

oh and im going to buy another dls a2 and run one dls a2 to each midbass and im going to bridge the dls a4 and run each side of it to my mid/tweeter. Should be a fun install //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

time alignment won't be much of an issue, but level/balance might, 'cause the T/A setting will affect the midrange freqs more than the highs.

why not just stick with 2way if you have the xs65 set?

i get bored and like to waste money //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

but yeah i suppose the level/balance might be a bit of an issue. Im going to get the most out of what i have now before i make any drastic changes. I want to make sure everything is as ideal as it can be before purchasing more. However, Im going to deaden/mlv the rest of my car before any other equipment is purchased. That will help out a bit

plus i need to get a proper tune on my current install. Im just waiting on my new a pillars to be finished so my tweeters will be in final resting place before car goes on the rta

Tweeters/Mids on the dash or the a-pillars, midbasses in the doors. Makes tuning much, much easier and gives you great depth/level.

I don't know how you guys can drive with that big of an intrusion in your field of vision. I'd rather see someone chatting on a cell phone than driving around with obstructions like that.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif
