NFrank97 Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Looking for some pointers in the right direction, building a new system and it’s time to address the mids and highs. I have one Fi 18 running on 6k, walled off in a extended cab Tacoma, and want a setup that has a lot of SQ as well as be able to keep up with the sub. With that being said I have no idea if something like a three way SQ component set would do good, or if I need to go more the pro audio route. Need to know how many of what size speakers would be sufficient enough to keep up. Also wondering what anyone recommends as far as crossovers go, better results with active or passive, or if a signal processor is worth it? Thanks.

ToNasty Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 stevens audio mb8 midbass. And then probably a large format tweeter Or even a set of thr stevens audio sa6.5 comp sets.

But some of th3 best sq systems ive heard were dine using hlcd. Which is pro audio in my opinion. It just depends how you go about it ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost me when you said Sound Quality and 6k in one post. 6k as strong as it is, does not have any where the driver control to match up the anything Sound Quality. Not in today’s world anyways.

Skullz Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Get a nice set of passive components to start with, and over time get a dsp and amps to power them with and try active. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in today’s world anyways. I understand that towards the top end of the subs output (in my case) sound quality kinda goes out window anyway. Was just curios as to weather others though it was worth it to buy a passive component set or just get a signal processor, amp, and multiple drivers. Preferably I’d like to buy things once and not have to re purchase things so to speak if I’m not happy with the results. I’m thinking about just going to processor route and getting a few mid size drivers and a couple tweeters for each door, that way I know they will able to keep up with the sub. Im still very green in this field so bare with me on some things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smbgsx Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 If you can afford it all at once get the DSP. Zapco makes some of the best ones. Then I'd look into some DD Audio voice optimized 6.5 mids (2 sets) and some bullet tweets. That would give you a good clear sound and the output you're probably looking for. Or if you're fabbing, go with one set of Voice optimized 8's one set of 6.5's and the bullets. All in the front doors. Then use the DSP to get out all to play well together. And add should deadening in layers on the door. Alternate between aluminum/butyl and vinyl sheets. Then line the door panel itself with aluminum/butyl and a layer of foam.
