Blackedout Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Good luck fitting a driver with any depth in that front door. Figure out how much depth you have to work with first.... Before the window hits it. Then let us know what you have to work with. Well be happy to help you out. Alpine... Such a noob. You didnt know sound waves weren't oval? Didn't you know the sound waves that came out of by nines were like big, lopsided donuts? That's why they cant sound good. Aubreys car? Pshh...

But hearing "good" in person is more than any amount of installing will do for you. Mainly because it'll teach you that you don't know what you are doing.

For me full active with a nice procesor no passive xovers is the only way to goTo the op I would look at some image dynamic 6x9s then I would make a plate for the dash to fit a 4 and tweet instead of the 4x6 there are a million good 4 tweet combos pick a good brand you like and follow it up with a nice matching mid bass 6 1/2 not mid rang speakers Have you ever had your woofers blown?

Omega5002 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 If I had the money, I'd get myself a nice processor, and the passive x-over I have just for my tweeter works for now, but I need to look into more options, so thanks for the advice. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega5002 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'll look into those when I go looking for processors, thank you for the tip. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 WOW ... This thread went off the DEEP END !!! GREAT !!! Alot of info on here ... Technical is SO much better for me rather than blowing up hair and being obnoxious !!! Thank you guys, I will have to read alot through this thread for input, so I will work with this through the night ... I wouldn't use 6x9 speakers to start off, you never want non-circle shaped speakers, especially for sound quality. Cablguy184 is one of the best people to ever listen to when it comes to sound quality. You sure about that????I'm talking about the 6x9's Yes because of the basic fact that sound waves are circle shaped, not oval shaped. Now if you're tricking me with the shape factor, then I exclude horns or planar tweeters. sorry to bust your bubble but you are wrong sir ill quote myself I know of an awsome sq car with 6x9's in the doors id horns under the dash and super tweets in the dash the only round speaker in there is the super tweets that only play 10k and up almost never heard I really don't care, the best sounding speakers are round, end of story. I'm not gonna let you fling around that sq judge title to take you seriously, plus I wanna hear Cablguy's input on this. lmao!!!!!! you will take cable guy somone that lives a few stats over seriously over someone that builds for sq and judges it to meaning i know what the fuck true sq is k that makes sence lmao you can belive what ever you want does not make you right tho Team Bassik(Alpine) ... What did I do to piss you off Sir ?? I only give help to op's questions to help him out with what he is got to work with for the best output ... I agree, 6x9s will work great in the correct applications, but from the way I read the op's post, that particular 6x9 used in his "Caddy" is for a sub driver, which is what they did back in those days (if I remember correctly) Kenwood / HELIX / Linear Power (For The Love Of Music) / Brutal Sounds / OverKill Electric Co Questions About Sound Quality ??

White Lightning Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 aftermarket head unit now is a kewood x 895 im going to get the pioneer 80prs .Will be all stock locations of 1993 cadillac sedan deville 2 SA 12 for the subs rockford fosgate t600.4 and t1500 the dash has 4/6 plates and the doors have 5.25 and the rear deck has 6/9 thanks for any help OK ... I stand corrected about the 6x9s being sub drivers ... They used those to get alot of bottom end sound, and worked great beings the 6x9s literally used the "Entire trunk" for air space ... If you plan to go with the subs you posted, I'd delete the 6x9s and go with maybe some 5.25s for midbass in the rears, but I'd make that last on the list ...

White Lightning Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 OK then ... now for the front stage !!! IF it was mine ... Just my suggestion here ... I would get a pair of 5.25 mid bass drivers for the dash in stock locations with a tweeter almost half way up on each A-pillar, then one 8" midbass driver for each front door ... I know that there would be alot of work installation wise, but the outcome should be well worth it ... I'd start off with the dash and a-pillars passive on one 2 channel amp and the doors on their owm on another 2 channel amp ... or you can do this with one big 4 channel amp ... your choice ... Then you can get into EQing and time alignment features ... Should be a fun project !!! Please keep us posted with your work !!!
