Ahhh that sucks. What are you thinking for components?

 

Seas 27TDFC tweet
Dayton RS180 7" mid
modified cauer-elliptic 3rd order crossover

 

Damn Styx what cost more all the street wires stuff or the subs?

 

street wires stuff, gotta do it right tho

 

Sounds nice. Those mids are something I would like to listen to. I actually thought about pickup up a pair of those for *****s n giggles and maybe using them if they were as good as everyone says they are...That was before I had the Bows though

 

I can't afford the powerlines I want so I have to make due with something under 300. I know I wanted a 7" woofer and a large format tweeter. it was just a matter of finding a decent crossover design. the dayton has some serious breakup issues above 2k. so anything less than a 18db rolloff won't work

 

Yeah, that is one thing I noticed also. Above 2k Hz that Dayton is pretty rough looking. A lot of the tweeters I looked into that I would have considered running started getting scetchy before they could get down that far. Or else they needed a steep slope, which I hate on tweeters.

So do you know what your going to be going with on the crossover as far as x-over point and slopes?

 

its a cauer eliptic 3rd order network with 18db slopes at 1800. its a little lower than I'd like but it should be fine

 

Wow, that does seem pretty low, but, with that mid...

Those tweeters are still pretty good down that low?

 

most mid to high end large format tweets are safe that low. you have to remember that I'm using a seas 27TDFC which is huge compared to tweeters that normaly come with components. besides I'm using 8ohm drivers which means I only have 50 watts per channel to play with... then once you run that through 30 feet of 12ga everything starts to look better

 

Wow, out of curiousity I just looked up a freq. resp. graph for that tweet...
That thing looks like it does pretty good even to 1300-1500 hz, and even then its drop off isnt to bad at all.

Where are you going to mount that thing?

 

ha told ya, its going where the stock tweet would go. same with the 7" woofer. just gotta trim a bit

 

Trim a bit, haha...prob. wont have much of a door panel left after trimming to get those big things to fit

 

Gotta let us know how that mid sounds. I'm looking to get something with a little more punch and the rear door speakers are my only option open to replacement.

 

aight guys I need a little he'll in the design area, I was going to make a simple amp rack covered in trunk liner with the amps flush mounted. that turnied into showing the circuit boards under smoke plexy with a trim ring which has now turned into a setup that looks like the dash with the light and dark grey. smoke plexy the works. now the box is looking bland. I'm having a hard time picking the colors I want for the vinyl trim ring and the carpet inside the box. I also don't know If I want the plexi smoked or not initial planning was a dark flint vinyl trim over clear plexy with the light gray carpet inside. but now its light grey vinyl over smoked plexy with a dark carpet inside. I'm kinda stuck with what color scheme and materials I should use
