My System Finished!! (pics)

[alphakenny1 10+ year member]

Well a couple of weeks ago i finished my trunk install and made a thread about. can be found here. http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?p=1435199#post1435199

now i finally finished my frontstage and it seems like my system if done. both tweeters and mids are 8 ohm drivers and are roughly getting 42.5 watts each. and let me tell you, these these rock. awesome midrange and the tweeter is detailed especially in the top end. These mids and tweets can get truly loud if i want them to but i'm an SQ guy so i don't play my music too loud all the time. but i did turn it up and it got loud. I got these mids and tweets for a total of $190. So they are pretty cheap. I'd recommend it for an active setup. Here are the pics of the frontstage:

I'll start off with my HU. Eclipse 8455. It does all my processing. Xover pts/slopes done on here as well as a 5 band peq dedicated to each the mids and tweets. Excellent HU here. Superb SQ.

I finally installed my new mids, Seas CA18RLY yesterday and so far so good. Had a lil trouble installing these because of the way my speaker hole in the car is built but i got it in and they work awesome. Here are pics of the final install of the mids.

Next is the LPG 25NFA.

I have them in the stock location right now and i just threw them in there. It sounds good from there but i don't like the look of it right now. maybe i'll buy the hinged tweeter mount and make it a cleaner install. actually i will buy the hinged mounts, don't like the look at all, haha.

So any questions, comments, criticism, suggestions would appreciated. thanx.

Maybe pop the tweets into a custom A-piller fiberglass thingie. get them closer to the mids.

Unless of course you have time-delay available in that eclipse.. I don't remember.

I would hope they have time alignment in those newer model eclipse decks. Looks sweet though, I just want to hear it though =P.

yep that eclipse has time alignment. i was too lazy to cut holes and stuff in the doors or a-pillar so i just threw them in the dash (stock location). it sounds good but i dont want them under the dash so ima buy so hinged flush mounts to get it out of the dash.

Have you tried em in/at the door at all? Just from experience the tweets seemed to like the location in front of the door handle. Try the old velcro or tape trick and see how it does.

Install looks great and the tilting of the tweets should eliminate most of the reflection issues those cars have. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
