if you make those pods you'll be able to run a slim 8 up front.Have you looked into Hertz?

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

that would be a good choice. they have just about the same cone area as 8"s, and they sound sweet.

hmm, looking into those now .. Friggen hard decision . Just have to bite the bullet and pick a setup out I guess . James have you ever heard the SB acoustics mids before ?

 

[James Bang 5,000+ posts]

nope.

remember those SB's are very low power & you said you wanted to go louder!

those speakers would sound much better active as well.

I've heard most hertz lines & i'm thinking about up grading to those fro my cdt audio 62i mids, which i'm starting not like my new mids.

going active doesn't automatically make speakers or a system sound better.

going active doesn't always work for all speakers, but those SB would easier to control going active vs tring to make a passxover for them or trying to use a premade one.

I've played around with passive & active, & i would it mostly depends on your placement for your install, & deadening, headunit,& car acoustics

not one car brand is alike.

how is that? going active is just being able to choose your own desired xover points and slopes. If you were to choose a xover point and slope that would be exactly the same a certain passive xover, it should sound just about the same, other than the passive xover stealing some power (given the same setup, car, speakers, amps, ect) .

you'll have to find the points & slopes.

Every one doesn't have the time or money for all the processoring to do it right.

that's badass!

yep

a lot of people have the money for processoring, but I dont' think the majority of them know how to use it correctly.

I like to decorate my car by processoring.

when you add external crossovers or EQs, you would then be processorizing your system.

if you're not processorized, then you're missing out.

im processorized lol

 

[okiedokie 10+ year member]

processing can be good & bad, I like to Keep It Simple now.

oh you where saying that active & passive can sound the same? I think active can & will sound better by opening it up. some drivers need that to correct it. I have a pair of cdt audio 62i which i have run active & they sounde dso sweet on 250 per channel xovered as i want it to, but when i went back to cdt's passive xover it didnt sound right.

when a company test there drivers it isn't always done in real world testing or it wasn't done in my car door, so what i'm saying is that on my scion tc door which is very lagre for a car typical car door for the best sound would be for me go active & do lots processing.

plus if your'e going to use home drivers vs car drivers car it will take much more processing to correct a driver to a car acoustics.

Qts,Qes,Fs aren't alike.

like home drivers better
