any place i can see prices? Their website isnt very helpful.

Not that I know of. Your best bet would be to contact a dealer and ask for more info.

Though I do agree.....their website sucks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

On a side note, i can get the eD 6500 components and eu-700 midbasses pretty cheap as well, so thats another option.

The midbass off the mono section of the amp wouldnt be THAT limited. They would basically take over where the subs left off.

Well if your midbass were taking over where the sub leaves off then you're getting into more audible frequencies and if they're mono then you will more than likely be screwing up your "stereo image". Sorry, that is probably a foreign term to an SPL guy.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'd like to use the amp i have simply because i got it for cheap and it does a good amount of power.

Mind you, i have ALOT of subs and amps to buy if i do my proposed setup, so i'm keeping SQ on a budget.

Yeah but want mono midbass. Midbass is stereo.

If I were you, I'd look more into processing and go active.

Scrap the mono midbass idea, i'll just wire in the midbass with the components.

I can use the mono channel to power some 8's in the console or something if i decide to.

what about an alpine headunit and maybe some rainbow compoents?

 

[bri487 5,000+ posts]

dynaudio components maybe? also i would check into an in dash EQ if you really want to have control over you highs/mids.

Everyone else has gotten the point across. I'd hardly call that setup SQ. =p

I'd sugguest the Eu700s over the XXX mids, talk to Ology about some of the tests he's made with them. A decent horn driver with an active crossover would fit them together, and you could use a 2 channel amp for the EUs and run the horns of HU power. It's a little more expensive, but I think you've made your point that a bugdet isn't a huge deal.

For bass, didn't you say you were using an seXXX for DD? That's definitely a nice SQ woofer. If you want more, a used XXX will keep similar SQ and more output. Or you could pile on Decware DHM108B (10s) in a wall or really big low tuned box. They have really noteworth SQ and don't need a lot of power to get moving. And better than Adire, they're actually available. =)

I've always wanted to do something like that. Like maybe a single 10" sub up front or something. I think it would be one amazing front stage to have a sigle 10 up front along with components then you would have no problems with having bass from the sub drawing the soundstage toward the back of the vehicle.

Unfortunately I've never had a car where this could be done. I remember the 97 or 98 IASCA finals where this guy had a camaro with a sub in the dash.

eu-700's wouldn't be a problem for me to get...

And the seXXX is in the s-10, this thread is about my other vehicle (silverado) which will become my daily driver once its up and running and in a decent condition to drive. This will also be my competition (SPL) vehicle, thus it is going to have quite a large sub setup in it.

Give the man some credit huh! He;s "Changing his ways" lmao!

He's come to learn! He's slowlllylyyy letting go the SPL clench, working over the SQL hump, on his way to SQ land!!

So let me get this straight......

you want an SQ by day, and SPL by night, all in the same car?

I'm leaning toward horns for ya. I see u got a couple titles under your belt, n i'd bet the horns might do u good.

I have 0 experience with em, but from what i've read this looks like what u wanna invest in.

i wouldn't go with the eu-700s, i'd get something like the CDT ES-600 midwoofes, a 3in Dayton speaker and a CDT tw-24s tweet in an active/ passive setup. I would run the CDT ES-600 active off its own channel, the 3in mid and tw-24s run off a crossover. The 5th channel on the amp runs a dedicated 8in in your center console. Do not over emphasize the 8in but make it blend into the mids. I would get a Eclipse 84 series or high end Alpine that can handle the crossovers and add a LCD if you need. Also what type of SQ are you going for with a LCD??? 5.1 or stereo??? 5.1 you'll need some rears to round out the sound. Maybe some coaxials in the rear.
