yes down your gains

turn down your sub...

As I stated this is when subs are at full tilt. Gains are set with a dmm . No need to lower gains or things of that matter . I have (2) 18's BTW .. When subs are turned down by the controller everything blends perfectly fine . Everything is crossed correctly .

okay...

two 18"s full tilt. don't expect any pair of 6.5"s to keep up.

lol thats what im saying .. Its damn near impossible but was trying to help out the situation . Looked into some pro audio drivers but im looking for a bit more SQ ..

 

[okiedokie 10+ year member]

i'm kind of confused?

Are you looking for more midbass from up front or midrange to be more agressive with your 18s?

i dont think one single two set can keep up with two 18S!

you might want to add another imaging tweeter in dash/pillars-

or a three way /Large format tweeter-3,4 inch upper mids in your pillars.

midbass in your doors.

you can go active or passive.

Pro audio sound is loud ,just loud. If you want Sq then your best bet is turn down your subs & just use them when you want to show off.

Just looking to have more overall output but want the SQ . Just was hoping someone on here has heard the SB drivers themselves . As for what type of "overall output" im looking for its going to be hard to achieve the midbass I would need to go hand and hand with the 18's . Almost impossible in the little Jeep. Its a very small truck so im limited in that aspect . My subs are not always turned up .That would just be ridicoulous . But when it comes to demo'ing , thats when it lacks the output im looking for . I can easily get loud by doing pro audio or thing of that matter but thats not exactly what im looking for . Basically, what would be my best bet to getting a bit more output then I have now but keeping the front stage well imaged and the dynamics in check . There are plenty of easy routes such as just running , lets say 3 sets of comps but then how/where do I place the mids and tweets to get the imaging correct . Am i basically shit out of luck ? lol . There always is a sacrifice somewhere, i know that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif ... I appreciate you guys helping with this .

look ni my build thread

i have 2 6.5's per side and they do keep up with the subs fairly well.

 

[okiedokie 10+ year member]

you could go with two sets of comps that may work .

you'll have to play with the imaging to get it right for your liking in your jeep.

 

[Millertime1028 10+ year member]

I think that will be my best bet .. Ill have to try different placements of the mids and tweet to find the correct soundstage ..

is cutting the floorboard an option? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif there's usually a cavity by the firewall/kick area you can use as an enclosure for a nice 7"+ mid.

O man If I only were that crazy lol. I seen the guy with the red pickup over on DIYMA, I think he had the relevators . Has marble center console as well as part of the dash. I seriously thought about it because that would be ideal because of a few things but yea .. If I were keeping the truck for good then I wouldnt really care to much .

if you make those pods you'll be able to run a slim 8 up front.

Have you looked into Hertz?

http://www.hertzaudiovideo.com/default_en.htm

they make an slim that you could xover high that has good mid bass plus take large amounts of power, so that you can get loud.

they also can fix into small enclosers,like speaker pods.

I might up grade some day to these 8's

what a about six by nine mid from ID
