vroom Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Would like some ideas on drivers for my front stage. I plan on running 2 12" subs on a dd audio m4 amp. Trying to figure out what would work well up front? I want it loud but still sound quality oriented. I currently have a set of dynaudio 5.75 comps and a set of A/D/S 4" is series comps, considered running either with 2 7" Fi Audio mids but now looks like i can only fit one mid bass driver in my doors. Throw me some ideas? Or should i just run 2 6.5" components instead? Need some serious midbass to keep up with the subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowfkncar Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I would do 2 6 1/2's in each door if possible, run them active on decent power and it should keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 6.5's all day. Sundown sa series is great for the coaxials, or if you want to do components the crescendo pwx 6.5s paired with the sts-1 tweeters is also great. one of my good buddies has the sa speakers all around his car and they sound great and get pretty loud. i have the pwx 6.5s and sts-1's. the component setup needs some more power, but then again it will get louder. its all up to you. but overall I would go with 6.5's Alpine cde143bt/ Alpine ktp445u (4x45 amp) 2 Crescendo STS 1 (on alpine 4x45 on 2 channel mode) 4 Crescendo pwx 6.5's in front doors (Skar RP150.4) 1 Sundown zv3 12, SAE1500D. Box is 2.5 cubes tuned to 30hz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vroom Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Cheers for the replies. So will 6.5's perform well down to 80hz at high volumes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Yes if you buy good components they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraken Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Crescendo, Sundown, Mclaren(Never used Mclaren but always heard good things about them), Alpine R series. Ive used all of those except for mclaren and I have liked them. Its more the amplifier choice than the speaker choice. for example, you can put 100 sundown neo pro speakers powered by your head unit or even a small amp and they wont be loud or sound good, or you can put a few of them on a nice amp powered properly, and get them to sound great and get loud. Alpine cde143bt/ Alpine ktp445u (4x45 amp) 2 Crescendo STS 1 (on alpine 4x45 on 2 channel mode) 4 Crescendo pwx 6.5's in front doors (Skar RP150.4) 1 Sundown zv3 12, SAE1500D.

Liquid Arthur Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I had some Diamond Audio Hex's back in the day, Silk option, and maaaan they were good. I'da put 'em up against Focal's and Dyn's all day. I wonder if they still make those. A lot of people like the Alpine Type R's. How much you're trying to spend is, of course, important. People seem to be liking these too. I haven't heard them but really would love to try them. My birthday's coming up, but I could never convince the wife that I need more speakers.... https://www.amazon.com/XXX6-5C-Audio-6-5-Component-Speakers/dp/B0056BDRR6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
