Wonder how those Earthquakes sounds ported?!? lol

i have a pair of those i never to install...
I hear they need to be on axis and crossed over above 3k, though.

on axis is a MUST, and when they are they're quite impressive.

To the OP: what's the big deal with removing the A pillars?

have you done any reading on DIYMA as there's a TON of info over there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

also what mids are you pairing them with? How low do you need to cross them?

i really think you should look into the ones i posted before.. i know they seem cheap and the brand name is meh... but i just hooked them up today and they sound great honestly...

I'm actually picking the tweeter first, but I was considering

Peerless Exclusive 7" woofer 8ohm

Morel MW166-4 ohm 6" Damped Polymer Composite Cone

Madisound 6102-4 6" Polypropylene Cone Woofer 4ohm

Vifa PL18WO09-04 PREMIUM LINE 7" Woofer 4ohm

SEAS Prestige P18RNX/P (H1350) 7" Poly Cone Woofer 8ohm

Mach5Audio MLI-65 4ohm

I'd like to cross over around 3 - 3.5k active

i'm running the exlusive 7"s and highly recommend them.

they have great midrange detail, and have nice midbass (but i'm only using them for midrange duty)

they're powerd off a soundstream vga500.4, 500x4 @ 2 ohm, 250x4 @ 4 ohm.. and they are 8 ohm drivers.. 125w, I guess.

I'll research the blapunkts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif , but I like that mishmash site, so

I'm more likely to pick a tweet off of that list.

like i said, dont judge these tweeters by the brand name lol... i cant stress that enough

also like i just said before, id idnt know you wanted a pillar... i dont think those would work with the mounts they come with.. the smaller flush mounts you might see in some pics, didnt come with em.. (disappointed me) but unless you find another way... the other mounting brackets they come with are just too big

those tweets are nice, but his budget allows for better.

How badly off-axis are my stock a-pillar tweeter locations?

And how bad would you say the distance from the woofer/mid is?

Would I just correct for anomalies with amp gain and eq/x-over point adjustments?
