  5. Mids/ High Mounting Question -- need help

    in Mid's and highs

    Posted · Edited by Yirgacheffe

    Suggest to start with stock / factory location for the VO-M6,5. Pods for B1 at A-pilars if you like to build stuff and experiment for greater sound.

    If you want to go really loud, think of eights or maybe active 3-way with for eg B1 + 6,5" + 8" for more punch sound from custom made doors.

    Expect to use lots of silencer / sound dampening / sound deadening in your car and seriously, if you use maximum sound levels from such a DD system.

  8. Crazy thoughts.. Would this be practical? Would be sweet though

    1. When it comes to making connection from the leads of the sub-woofer to the basket terminals.

    Would it not be cool to have a lead with a magnetic tip on it so if you were re coning a sub-woofer you don't have to solder the connection just a quick connect with a magnet and your done. May not be practical in your every day sub-woofer but for competition grade woofers when you have to re cone in the field this would be great.

    I would not want to have magnets except the motor of the speaker itself. Having direct connect leads works fine for me, and if one need it they can easily be extended.

  9. New Infected Mushroom album out 8 May!

    in Tunez - All things music related

    Infected Mushroom's new album "The Unveiling" will be out as of 8 May, which is today!

    I have high expectations because I followed I.M. for a long time now and bought all the CDs they have released so far. I.M. records are often played in audiophile circles and the song "Avratz" is known for its sound and great bass. If you haven't heard I.M. yet then check them out!

    You can get a preview here :

  10. Mids/ High Mounting Question -- need help

    Looks like your driveing SAAB, the door panels are quite stiff but I wouldn't recomend such an installation. You can use the SAAB's original place for midbass and place midrange/tweeter on your dashboard. It works fine for SQ and can be loud to if the installator is skilled!

    you can only get so loud with one tweet like i have and a 5.25 in the factory location

    some people would be content with it, but me, not so much

    If you want to go very loud I think you should go for the Digital Designs VO-M6,5 or perhaps the 8 inch VO-M8. With the sensitivity of 98dB for the 6" you could go for 122dB for one speaker at 256W, +3dB when doubled as a pair. Loud enough to get permanent hearing damage and they go for an easy fit in the stock location to. Eights can be fitted behind the door panels in both OG9-5, NG9-3 and newer SS modells.

    VO-M8 : http://www.ddaudio.com/products/mobile-audio/specialty-drivers/vo-series/vo-m8.aspx

    If such results are not good enough I think one need to build new door panels with multiplied speakers. I would put the speakers in front of the door and low. For my own car I recently bought four tens, which theoretically should be able to produce 132dB at 512W before cabin gain. As a try-out.

  14. in search of: suicide door kits

    in Interior / Exterior / Paint - Detailing, washing, waxing,tricks of the trade!

    When I did Academy Sheet Metal years ago I tried suicide doors. Short story is to open the door and look at the place where the lock case is and measure the corresponding location with dimensions from the existing hinges and do the same as for the lock case and pin. I did however extend the hinge attachment of the body a little bit. I did the work in a "Dataliner" ( http://www.datalinerusa.com/ ) for easy measurement and because of the cars damaged bodywork.

    Ofc it's easier to buy a new custom fitted kit, but I feel that some people almost forget they already got hinges and lock cases, but factory-fitted to the wrong end of the now new preferred. Nobody said it would be easy but if one can make the change with the cars own parts I think it's an opportunity to save money and also learn the basics and be even more proud of the result.
