It's ALL ABOUT THE INSTALL! My crescendo pwx 10s sound awesome. Everyone that's heard them likes them unless everyone lies. We are in a snow storm right now but if it stops I'll go do a video with only the nendo 10s playing.

Thats because sound is subjective, some people like it and some dont. PWXs sound horrible to me compared to other pa drivers, yeah they can get the job done just not everybodies cup of tea.

I bet the use of a zobel network in a simple pasive filter can help with some of the huge peaks and dips of the driver or simply eq them. I am not sure why someone earlier said its a bad idea to eq pa drivers.

he was saying its a bad idea NOT to EQ them.

Thanks everyone! If I had to build a set with raw drivers, I wouldn't know where to start. Somewhere I read that Dayton Audio drivers are great in a car and I looked at Parts Express and thought for the low price how could they sound any good. I know the install plays a big part. Back in the day we would put the mid low in the door and the tweeter high on the door. I see a lot of tweeters on the A pillars and have mine there too now and I think they sound great for what they are the mids are in the stock location about 2/3 of the way up the door. They are A $40 Hifonics set that I picked up to get my foot back in the door. I was amazed that $40 separates could sound this good. Back in the day $40 would get you Audiovox or Kraco which are junk by comparison. I know there is something better like the Polk separates I had back in the day. I have a pocket along the bottom of my door panel that I could remove to make room for possibly some 8s.

Also check out madisoundspeakerstore.com and usspeaker.com for more raw drivers as parts-express is limited.

here is my solid recommendation. Try a vifa P17 with a morel mdt 30 tweeter, match made in heaven. If you could fit the vifa p21 I would do that, but its an 8" mid/woofer

if you were feeling ballsy enough I could get you a passive xover design that is +\- 3db from 60hz-19k

OK then that makes me wonder. Would a 6.5 high in the door sound better than an 8 low in the door? I could probably do both. I have seen kick panels with midst and tweets in them and can't imagine that would sound good. I have seen SQ builds with pods in top of the dash and can understand that.

i did a dodge charger with this set up but used the 8" in the doors instead of the 6" I ran the tweeter up in the dash, I ran a 1200 watt amp bridged to each door. The sound was amazing, everyone who heard it commented on how good it sounded, he was running 15" fi subs that was outputting 148db's at 30hz and could easily be heard keeping up.

Would the crossover be for a mid only or a mid and tweeter combo? How would this compare to having them on separate channels?
