trainman0978 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I know the manual with my JL 3 way comps says the woofer and midrange cannot share airspace. not only risking airwaves or air pressure working against each other, but when that starts happening, sound quality will logically be affected.....according to the manual...

Team Bassick - Kimo Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I run 3-way components in both my camaro and s10. I went the cheap way and used the Q0Logic Kick Panels. Imaging is a little low in the Truck but the Camaro is fine. The Camaro has a MB Quart 3-way and the S10 has a Boston Acoustics 3-way. Seperating the air space for the 6" mid-bass and 4" mid range is crucial. However, sounds like he might have the crossovers adjusted to a real high pass filter in order to have no vocals. Putting the 4" in the A-pillar is something I was definately contimplating. In Steven Meades Tahoe he has mIds in his A Pillars and they sound great. I think for a truck its the best way to go. For a car you can probably pull off the kick panel fine but, if you want that imaging stage right in your face then an A Pillar seperates and a center channel is the way to go.

mcnaught82 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I have JL 3-ways in my yukon, and I am not happy with the sound, the 6.5" and 4" are in the front doors and the tweets are in the a pillars. Quote Team Deadly Hertz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to ge that 4" away from the 6.5" or make a seperat enclosure or baffle for it. I listened to the JL Audio 3-way and didn't like it either. Thats how I ended up with the MB Quarts Quote KIMO @teambassick http://www.teambassick.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only downside really to my kicks is they really don't get "LOUD". They are clean as hell though. If you can fit the 6 and 4 in your door why not step up to an 8" in the door and pair of 5.25 components in the kick or A-Pillars. It'll give you a nice mid bass kick with that 8 and the 5.25 components will be more than loud enough. MPO.

trainman0978 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I got the JL 3-way set, and a the moment I am a little unsettled with them too. When I heard them at the shop I was impressed, but I have my 6.5" in the door and the other two in the dash up against the a pillar.... The sound needs to be better.. I just found out that a place called wicked CAS does make some A pillar pods for the FJ cruiser and a few guys on the FJ cruiser forums have them with my components and they are really happy with them, so when the tax check shows up I am gonna shell out the 270 bucks and get them , they look really good and the 4" stays in the dash with the 6.5" in the pillar. ( the FJ A-pillars are really - REALLY - wide ) then I can get my 6x9's back in the front doors , along with a new sundown 4 ch. amp to power it all. I think then I will have it about where I want it.... Quote 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Voo Doo Blue my upgrades and "build" thread.
