What do YOU want in your component sets?

[OlogyAudio 10+ year member]

Could you have a 3 way setup that consisted of a 5 1/4, a 3 1/2 and a tweet? I wish you or someone would develop one.

That is EXACTLY what I need lol... a little dome midrange that is simply awesome... I'm thinking 2 1/8" or 3" aluminum inverted dome midrange??? With an excessive motor structure and a pair of copper shorting rings? -- it is going to be hard to pull off a 93dB/w/m efficiency or higher with it though ~~

I think the first creations will be a DVC 7" midwoofer and a dome midrange that stacks up with some of the best drivers out there (seas excel, Dayton RS... scanspeak etc.) just... available for less...

I'll see about a 5.25" woofer at some point though -- it takes a substantial investment for one driver alone -- nontheless a whole line of them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I, too, would love to see a highly "tweakable" crossover ... perhaps (and especially) something that would maybe fit in a 1/2 DIN or even full DIN slot as an option.

Mounting depth is a pretty big deal for a LOT of setups, but having a line that was pure audiophile with no regard to stock mounting locations is a good idea.

Paper cone.

Cast basket.

Actually meets screw hole locations of common vehicle types.

Dual VC is very cool. Dual 2 or Dual 4 Ohm options = even better.

6.75" + 4" + 1" balanced component sets would probably not sell well but would be sweet for some installs.

(adjustable) Band-pass on the mid-woof x-over for the component set, for folks without high-pass x-overs on the amp (or other stuff on the same channels).

Hell yea, $5 for push or screw terminals! For sound, it doesn't matter, but install time saved for the average Joe... yup.

Sexy surround material.

No stupid looking silk screens or flames or other gimicky stuff.

yada yada...

Maybe a different optin to push terminals (the first higher grade kind) would be small philips head set screws. (Like Diamond Hex mids) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

It doesn't have to be 5.25...convient for me. I would go with a 6 or 7. DVC wouldn't help however.

 

[HiAmplidude 10+ year member]

Come to think of it, yea, DVC doesn't really matter especially if there was a final impedence choice of 2 or 4 (or 3).

I know this isn't the thread to make this comment, but it would be really cool if you didn't leave out us home audio wh0res //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

A quality 4.5" or 6.5" full range driver at a competitive price would make me have to buy another pair of pants...

MUCH BETTER!

Well the first 2 I can do...

A ribbon... far too fragile for a car -- you can damage one by blowing on it after all...

$150...

I also wouldn't be leaving out the home audio wh0res //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif -- DVC 4 ohm = 8 ohm wiring option //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif -- I'm not messing with full rangers yet though -- one day -- in a few years I'm going to be doing some fun stuff though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Sure DVC matters -- option for 2 ohm -- 8 ohm -- or using all 4 channels of your head unit to power *just* your front soundstage midbass drivers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Not really all that true. I can show you a few people that have been running ribbons in their cars for years and have yet to replace a ribbon. Mainly I've seen people running the LCY130's. Some Aurum Cantus (sp?) aswell though.

 

[T3mpest 10+ year member]

yeah, blowing directly on the tweet is about the only easy way to break one. On ECA they had a thread about a pair of ribbons standing up to 15x.x dbs, still worked perfectly.

PS. I'd like a high efficiency high excursion midbass/midrange driver, maybe a 7.

I blame dan -- I never blew on a ribbon tweeter because dan said... lol nm -- anywho limited vertical dispersion should be a fun install //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

the head-unit Idea with the front and rear..... I like it but what if I dont have a rear output on my head-unit? alas though I would like just the basics, Paper cone woofers with cast frames. Metal dome tweeters just like how they where intended to be and designed to be. 180mm euro size woofer, really large tweeter. No crossover, just the speakers.... and of course aluminum phase plugs. Aslo nice grills that actually fit to speakers too would be a plus.

 

[Hundreth 10+ year member]

I want something that I can just throw in my doors with little tweaking and sound great for a reasonable price.

Something like the Type-X comps, they sound great, work very well off little power (like 60 wrms), and have excellent off-axis response. Plus you can find them for like 200$ on ebay.

Haha....I never said they were perfect for car audio //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

But seriously though, the people who have used them so far have seemed to love them over their conventional tweet setups. Just something to think about.
