Audio-Concepts Posted December 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 I also have been in the process of rebuilding my enclosure. I need a little more output in my life so i am going to run my old 12 in a ported enclosure still keeping it under the rear seat roughly 1.5 net cu ft tuned around 30-32hz. This is my current progress on my enclosure, using the stack fab method. I am also in the process of saving up for new goodies for the truck....performance goodies and possible audio fun.

But i havent seen any reviews so i went with audiofrog I felt the Stevens Audio had a bit more warm natural sound when I heard them in another car that was running an active setup with DSP. My setup is just a passive network component but the midbass feels strong and not overbearing....currently really dont even need a sub for Blues and Classic rock songs. They really dont miss a beat. The tweeters are very precise and natural. I have them running -2db out of the xover and they just sing. No harshness from passenger or drivers side and can get really loud and still stay true. I was thoroughly impressed from initial turn on and now have months of listening and still get chills with certain songs. By far my best set of components to date including a set of Hertz HSK 3 ways and Hybrid Legatia tweeters I had in prior setups. I dont plan on getting rid of them anytime soon.

I came from hybrod audio legatia. But in my new truck wanting to try something differant. Regulat cab silversdo using stock locations. 1 issie i have is the dash area is where i was going to put the tweeters. We all know how mounting tweeters that fire off the dash sound. It harshens the sound. Im hoping the audio frogs do me good but if not ill order up the SA. I did speak with him a little about them though ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did speak with him a little about them though That's why I built the pods for my tweeters. I lose a little bit of stage depth because of location but not enough that it bugs me. Have you thought of building a pod for yours? Even up front on the dash you could build a pod in the corners. I've thought of doing that and using some high powered magnets to hold the pods in place so not to drill holes. The cover pieces I built mine off of are only like 15 bucks my cost...so I wasn't worried about them.

Makes sense. A good way to help with the reflection you'll get is by putting a dash mat on the dash. That will absorb the reflection with out hurting output Pioneer AVH480 Zapco ST5XII amplifier Stevens Audio 6.5" components (passive) Onyx Subwoofer Sky High OFC wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may trythe tweeters in the sail panel and stick some sort of 2 or 2.5" fullrange in the dash. I know i say i want simple but you know how that goes ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i say i want simple but you know how that goes If you run a fullrange you may not need a tweeter. Ive seen a lot of setups that way. Then you can put them in those removable panels right above the door panels.
