Cashdollar2009 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I am planning to start my first fiberglassing project. My original plan was to put two sets of 6.5 components in each of my front doors. I checked pricing on some Image Dynamics and can get two sets new for $260.00. I'd like to keep my budget around $250.00. Below that would be great! Though another idea I've thrown around may be two Seleniums per door and a super tweet per door as well. I will more than likely be running the MB Quart Onyx Series 4-channel at a supposed 125watts x4 @ 4-ohms. Though on Selenium's and super tweets would I need a crossover? Or would I just run the on a seperate channel on the amp and use te crossover on my head unit? I'm running the Kenwood KDC-BT738u. Thanks for the input guys.

Cashdollar2009 Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I have been reading sone mixed reviews on the Selenium's menses response. I'll be running a pair of 15" XLs off of a DC 5k, site vocals I'd really like to pick up a bit. I sawthe Selenium tweeters mentioned in another post as only anpair being used in Gary Killian's monserrat. Any reviews are appreciated!

nickers Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 the seleniums apparently only sound the best when at high volumes and decent amount of power, otherwise sound sloppy. this is just what ive heard chevrolet all day er day.

jconnway Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 if you can get your image dynamics for 260 but your budget is 250, id say you should check the couch cushions for spare change 10 dollars is not significant enough that you should change your build for it.

Oh I'll scratch up the $10.00 if need be. Lol I was just stating that I was able to scoop up two sets BNIB for that price tag. I could also do four Selenium 6W4P's and two of the Selenium ST35 super tweets for $228.00. I will be fiberglassing whichever option into my doors so I will be workig with some airspace behind the woofers. I may even add some polyfill if it would help. Those are just two of my options. Just poking around to get some thoughts and ideas. Also some configuration options as far as settig the crossover frequencies using the head unit and amp settings only with the Selenium option.

Kevin M Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 There are tons of companies that have pro audio mids and highs. Really what you are looking for is a driver with a high sensitivity (90db+) that can play extremely loud. B&C, goldwood, dayton, and jbl make some wicked pro audio gear. I would check out partsexpress and madisound and see if you can find something there. They are raw driver superstores. 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlstrass Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 the seleniums apparently only sound the best when at high volumes and decent amount of power, otherwise sound sloppy. this is just what ive heard You heard wrong then. I play them at low volumes on the way to/from shows playing all kinds of music and they sound just fine. Not an SQ set up, but I just need them to keep up over the wind noise and sound decent tonally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
