SMF93 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 Ok guys im thinking about switching out my alpine coaxial 6.5" door speakers for some of these It will be for my s10.,,but i have no idea where to start or what to use to deaden the doors also should i make rings out of MDF... and what else lol. Also would need to make a spot for these if i went that route Maybe the tweeters are overkill... idk maybe something different would e better suited. I want my midbass to be louder and play with more authority and want my highs to be louder. Any insight is appreciated. its just a possible idea for the future thanks guys
bcbrassard Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 Pro audio isnt for everyone. I would never run it. I understand when people need to get hella loud to keep up with a high DB substage. I like my mids and highs to be super clean and be able to get loud as well. Tons on options out there. Good luck man.
OldsBoomer Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 Those won't get you true midbass. That's not how pro audio mids are built Suburban Coming Soon
White Lightning Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I'd take those alpines and amp them up, reinforce the doors, and call it a day before I wasted my time buying more drivers for possibly the same output ...

catch 22 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I have a 97 s10. I deadened the shit out of my doors and sealed them up completely. I replaced the stock speakers with a set of image dynamics xs65 comps. They allow you to mount the tweeter on the woofer like a coax, this is what I did cause it was easy. They sound pretty good and have decent mid bass. Spendy though.
SMF93 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Posted June 17, 2015 Oh i forgot to add I have a small U.S. merlin amp for my door and dash speakers...but I guess im going to deaden my doors then go from there. Anybody know a good set of 6.5" coaxials that are loud and sound descent?
aculous Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Well...if this gives you a idea..... 1 of my door speakers was $150 and that was cheap, I only have 4 speakers. So you may want to change up your budget a bit if you can. Precision power has a really nice passive 3-way component set for like 240$-300 that would sound really nice with the mid-bass in the door and the mid and tweet up higher by the sail panel I think its called. If not keep what you have and spend the money on install items such as sound deadening. deadener + mass loaded vinyl or second skin luxury liner. db3 is cheap MLV but its a pain to work with.
