hell you could fit four of them where your 5.25 used to be. They rock. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Hmm i believe my rear door speakers are 2"ers.....

dont think of getting any midbass out of them, and i hope for gods sake you dont give them more than 10w each.

but yes you could put alot of them in your door.

why only 10 watts? why no midbass?

 

[Twistid 5,000+ posts]

why no midbass x2 ? i thaught thats what these things were, or are they a mix of tweeter/midbass ?

You're asking an awful lot for a 2" driver to move enough air to have decent midbass response, especially when not horn-loaded. Get enough of them, maybe, but then you're looking at some funky off-axis behavior when you get above 10KHz or so...

what about a Line Array system with say... 25 of them? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

like that new alpine thing that just came out.

i dont know much about those setups but it sounds like it would be interesting to try

just one in a plastic container sealed off with some alumnium tape had plenty of midbass for me, so I dont know what everyone else is talking about, considering I have one sitting on my desk and I know what I hear comming out of it. I know *I* will end up buying more for my doors when I go for modified MECA SQL.

This would be good fiberglass practice project =)

if you had a line array of them IN YOUR HOUSE, i would say maybe.

but in car, you will have a terrible time having a CORRECT sounding frontstage. and even so, they will never move enough air (maybe 10 of them will) for a proper frontstage.

and they are only rated for like 20w RMS. so giving them more than that daily is not a good idea.

ive had mine for a while and ive listened to alot of music (i have been using one channel (15w) off a sonic impact T amp, with the two 8ohm fullrange ran to 4ohm) and they do get tinny at times.

furthermore, if you wanted to use them in home for a line array, they arent really for sale anymore. and on another note - you would be better off using these anyway;

all in all, they are good for small projects in home, but are not sutible for your car. you are better off getting a nice pair of these tweeters rather than shelling out $100 for a line array of 10 of the 2" aura speakers -

and guy who said they had plenty of midbass, you dont even know what midbass is if you think they produce enough //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif come to my house and you can compare the aura's on my desk versus my car's frontstage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

lol, I think your refering to me, and let me tell you, do not attempt to grow a brain. I didnt compare it to the comp's in my vehicle //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

See, this proves you cant post a single thing on caraudio.com without some tard posting in your thread "oh my sh!t is better then that" to make themselves feel better about themself.

lawl, you must be kidding.

you are telling me what midbass is?

claiming of all people, that i am a tard because i corrected the fact that you said these produced "midbass."

so what my friend, is your definition of midbass? because i have a pair of them sitting right on my desk, and they do in fact PLAY MIDBASS FREQUENCIES - they are very very lacking in authority for my tastes.

and if you didnt read into it - i was joking and adding a bit of sarcasm. so before people start calling throwing disrespectful terms like "tard" and "douche", get your facts straight.

and for your information, i have quite a nice brain //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif - and i was not trying to say that my stuff is better, if you read my words, it says "ill show you MY AURA's versus MY FRONTSTAGE" wich has nothing to do with your expierence with your equipment.

and mister twisted, please sit your ass down. you have nothing to do with this and you most likely have not had expierence with the equipment. with an attitude like yours people will not like you on this forum for very long.

thank you for your time.
