shogen Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Alright... so currently I have a shitty front stage since I was not looking to go "crazy" with the audio... that plan did not stay.. I went from some old school JL audio 10" w3's to a Pioneer Premiere 12" and then to a 12" SSA Icon and now I currently have a 15" SSA Xcon sealed enclosure... so far I loved the sound... My front stage consisted of just Alpine 6x9 for a while and then I added some Polk Audio tweets in the dash... Not having alot of options on the EQ side I think I damaged a tweet which is whatever I don't care... I didn't have the right amps to do this setup and that is probably how I did that.. I was using a BA GT2-125 and no separate xover so I know the tweets were going too low.. So this is the setup currently...: 1" Polk Audio tweets 6x9" Alpine Boston Acoustics GT2-125 I want to keep that amp and either do a passive/pre-configured component set, like the Polk Audio MM6501 or maybe try out some other drivers ... One thing I was looking at were these Oxygen Audio drivers ... xover on the amp to about 100hz and call it a day... Should I do this???? Then I came across this xover .. which I know might be home oriented but I think could work ... If I did this what could I add as a tweeter??? Any help or suggestions would be great....

shogen Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I want to start kinda fresh.... I don't think I'll want to put in the effort for an active setup... At least not now anyway... What I do want to do is possibly make a "homemade" passive set... Possibly using pre-made xovers and some nice drivers..... Would maybe using the Selenium or maybe the Peerless 830657 in conjunction with that O2 driver on a 2-way passive xover be any good??? Just trying to see if I can be somewhat creative in that manner instead of just buying a made set first.... Thanks for the replies so far though.

6berry Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 the equipment you showed in your second post would work together but you would be lacking in your highs. i would add a tweeter and try to find a three way crossover so you can run all three. another option which you said you werent sure about is going active and using a separate amp to power the midbass, midrange, and tweeters. You can do this with a 5 channel amp and an active crossover like the kx3. have 2 channels for left/right mids, 2 channels for left/right tweeters, and 1 channel for your seleniums Quote 1999 Audi A4 1.8T::: 4 - DC Level 3 10's in a 4th order Rockford P6002 on Subs for now (3-3.5k coming eventually) MB Quart ONX4.60 for Mids and Highs Boston S50 Components in Front Boston S65 Coaxials in Rear 40 Sq Ft of Second Skin Damplifier Build Thread UBL 1948 Plymouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 having the wrong crossover to a comp set is like having a sub in the wrong box. it just wont sound right. plus it looks like you want the 8ohm oxygen speaker wired together with a 4ohm tweeter. 100w 8ohm midbass driver on an amp that im guessing will do around 50w at 8ohm. its just not enough power to really get some kick out of them. but by the specs i would go with the peerless over the seleniums, having never heard either. if i were you, i would just get a comp set and call it a day.

shogen Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 My badd... Thought I put the budget in.... I was looking to do around $200 .... $300 would be a breaking the bank type budget right now... I saw the CTX were at $160 now... I also saw that Image Dynamics website is stating the company will be no longer... which might be the reason why.. I was suggested the Image Dynamics CSX series over at SSA but haven't been given a solid reason as to why I should spend the extra and do the $315 dollar set.... Thank you to all who have posted thus far..

skittlesRgood Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 its just a better sounding set. they are known as chameleons. if they were a little bit shallower i would have had them in my doors a long time ago. but i put the ctx in a buddy's car and we both really liked how they sounded. i would get a set while you still can. the only reason ID is closing is because one guy was an idiot. the real designer left and should be working on a new product line as we speak.
