Not bad what midrange speakers you using in the 3 way? hope not the pioneers ":/
ha, no the Pioneers are gone.
I'm still deciding tbh. Ive gotta decide on mounting location first. I think my brain almost broke deciding to buy the pair of 8s. Big thanks to Jeffdachef for helping me there.
My mounting options can be right next to the 8 in the door or up in the factory location in dash or in the corner of the A pillar by windshield (which really isn't far from factory dash location)... as long as I keep mounting depth under 2". Just not enough room in the kick panels to do much (I really don't want to be kicking them all the time). If I don't care about them mounting on axis to face my head then the factory dash location would be the easiest.
When I messeged Eric Stevens with Stevens Audio, he suggested this 3"
FaitalPro to go with his 8". However, that thing just doesn't seem like it could keep up with my other speakers as it only has 20 rms.
I"ve been looking through this product page for
CDT AUDIO.com. They seem to have some nice offerings... Was even wondering about using a
4" coax in the dash corners (easy way to keep the midrange and the tweeter together right?). I don't see people talking about using coax speakers when going for SQ so I guess their not as good, but what do I know?
I think I just gotta keep talking to people, watching videos, and reading about how 3 way systems work so I start to really understand and then get the right thing for my situation. I hate to go to the trouble of spending money and time on an install and it not sound great ya know. You guys have been a big help to me on here.
I'm not in a big hurry though to pick out the mids. I need to fab the doors for the 8's, finish sound treating the doors with deadner, CCF, and MLV and sealing the holes. Then I think I'm gonna pull the interior of the car out and run deadner, CCF, and MLV throughout the floor, run my power wires to be setup for my amps and mount my mids amps under the front seats. I still need to do my big 3 as well. I got a lot of work to do...lol.
All that to say, I got time to think this through well about what to do for midrange/tweeters.
Here's a pic...
