deathcards Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 looking at Helix Esprit E8W shallow mount i would get 2 for a 2 ohm final load. i am using them to beef up my mid bass seeing as my box doesn't like the midbass notes very well. i had a feeling it wouldn't but had to try , anyways i would use them for around 80-125 Hz just wanting some opinions on if it would sound good if the box is air tight. i may go a little bit higher on frequency but i would want to hear it first http://www.crutchfield.com/p_975E8W/HELIX-Esprit-E8W.html?tp=111 would probably do factory recommended airspace skar sk2500.1 0 gauge power and ground kunukonceptz alpine HUvxi65 components on BA gt-275new build log -> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/150642-project-d-kon-deathcards-build-log/#entry2148821 2 x-15 sundowns singer alt, odyssey bat, and maxwell ultra caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin M Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Are your midbass in the component sets not giving you enough output? It looks like a nice driver and I'm sure it sounds great but I could recommend a pair that would keep you under the price of one of those Helix; that will play higher, and be better suited for midbass. Do they need to be under a certain depth? These will play up to 800 hz if you want. You would want to wire them in stereo L+R if that were the case. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=264-1102 These are deeper but they are a proven performer. I could throw out a couple more but want to make sure depth is not an issue. 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 That looks realllllly similar to a kenwood excelon 8" From personal experience: Tang band w6-1138 does pretty well in the midbass department ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathcards Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 yes i see they have similar cones would a 3 way setup have more midbass say something like this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_24363_Precision-Power-PPI-PC3.65C.html if it does maybe i will just pick up two sets of these for front and back and a good 4 channel like helix dark blue or zapco skar sk2500.1 0 gauge power and ground kunukonceptz alpine HUvxi65 components on BA gt-275new build log -> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/150642-project-d-kon-deathcards-build-log/#entry2148821 2 x-15 sundowns singer alt, odyssey bat, and maxwell ultra caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
