[QUOTE="rodneypierce, post: 7647335, member: 639381"] Alright guys, Im pretty new to the whole active thing. OK, really new. I just put a set of Aura 5.25 comps in my 98 Grand Prix. I thought they sounded great at first (coming from blown factory speakers) but now the more and more I listen to them, the less and less I like them. They just seem to be missing something. So, I went active, and dont think I will ever go back. There is so much adjustment. BUT, no matter what I adjust (crossover and slope only, as I dont have an RTA to start messing with the PEQ) I cant get them to sound like I had hoped. They just dont seem to have a good transition if you will, and just dont sound good. So, long story short, Im looking to upgrade to 6.5" midrange/midbass driver, and a good tweeter. Im all for the "DIY" stuff. Below is what I have for specs: Eclipse CD7200MKII HU MB Quart 5 channel amp. 55x4 @ 4 ohms to power the tweeters and midrange/midbass. Im not worried about the sub, as I have that picked out already Im thinking. (10 inch Polk MM or IDQ) And, speakers are mounted in the factory door locations. Tweeters are on the a-pillar or can go anywhere on the dash. I dont really have room on the door panel to mount the tweeter. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks guys!! [/QUOTE]
