White Lightning Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I would love to go HLCD, but I have too much invested in my dash to switch to hlcd. Besides ... I LOVE my 5.25" setup in the truck. I'm (like many others here) stuck on what to do for midbass. So this thread has me thinking ... I have a pair of full range 10s that I want to use for midbass. I'm thinking about going seriously old school and put them in the rear corners of the truck (just like they did in the Grand National) and see what happens. Got PLENTY of room there. I have plenty of time alignment to play with .... Thoughts ?? OP, I will remove this post if you think it is thread jacking. I'm on my shitty phone having trouble starting my own thread.

Deeznutz Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Thanks guys! White Lightning, no reason to remove your post. This is an open forum, and if this thread helps you decide if you want to get a set than that's a good thing! You bring up an excellent point- midbass. Eric and I had a great conversation about your question. He suggested a very strong midbass driver to match these horns. I told him I had the I.D. CX S62 (in the Camaro) that I could use. Funny how you could hear the hesitation in his voice when he responded about the CX S62's. lol. He said they were good, but recommended another midbass driver. I think he recommended his older I.D. 6.5 driver. There's a guy on Ebay selling the full bodies with midbass and crossover network for $429. But man, Xmas is right around the corner. I'll ask him again on what he recommends and let you know. Now am I missing something about midbass? In the Jimmy, I was able to go down to the lowest crossover setting of 85Hz for high pass. I get a nice amount of midbass, especially since I eq'ed it. In the Bimmer, the Alpine has a crappy eq to work with. The system sounds great for bass music since the ski port acts like a 4th order bandpass. But rock sounds like ass because I can't get the guitar riffs to sound right. In the Jimmy, rock is what sounds awesome because of how I use the eq- I'm assuming. Now, I definitely have to deaden the doors! The guitar sound is "sharp" is the best way to put it. Guitars live in the range from 60-something all the way up to 1K- midbass is smack dap in that range. How much more midbass do I really need? Am I cutting myself short on midbass? Like, I said, you brought up a good topic! -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about a cube of space to build an enclosure in the bottom of my door. Cone Area and Xmax are a huge factor in mid bass I also recommend trying a silver flute 6.5 and Eric will as well. So cheap you won't even regret not trying them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go with the 8's as well. Nuts seems to want a 6.5 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Nice work. Cool thread. I brought up a "horn" thread years ago. Only people that even cared was old Ray (Ray West) and Bill. But, they where to damn smart for me to follow lol. I just clicked the "follow" button. Stay on it man.
