wL<3bass Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Prefer to have opinions or recommendations from people that actually have experience with this sort of thing, also Ray, Ryan, James, skittles feel free to chime in as I trust you guys opinions. I was gonna focus on more of an SQ oriented build, but realized I'm after shear volume... I wanna have ridiculous amount of treble and vocals... Hopefully more than necessary... So I'm gonna sell or take my current Rockford Power series comps out of the Blazer and put in my DSM... This is my current setup: Power 6.5 comps and tweets in the door, Power 5.25 comps and tweets in the A-pillars. So the new plan is 4 8" Cadence Midranges in the front doors (2 per) and 2 or 4 Cadence Tweeters... 2 in the A-pillar and possibly 2 additional ones in the factory dash holes. Power will be a Rockford T8004 on the mids and a T4004 on the tweets. Mids I'm looking at: http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Midbass-Speakers/4-CADENCE-FX8M4-8-1000-WATT-MID-BASS-SPEAKERS-MIDBASS-/%284%29+FX8M4.aspx Tweets I'm looking at: http://www.woofersetc.com/p8232/CVLT60--Cadence-1"-100W-CVL-Series-Titanium-Bullet-Tweeters.htm I know they aren't exactly fantastic on SQ but not exactly horrible either, I'm just tired of not having enough volume...

Mikesmith0890 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Price on the Comps? and I've used the Cadence Mids you're showing before. Actually sound pretty nice, I liked them. ran them from either 80hz-4k or 100hz-4k I forget.. AlphaDamp Sound Deadening CDL Mat - The best Vibration Damper Ever! I'd hit that so fucking hard whoever pulled me out would be King of England. Lol... looks like we were on the same page. Car-B-Ques suck.ya, tires and paint burning make the marshmallows taste funny.

wL<3bass Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I also tried tripling the power on the rockfords, went from a lil over 100wrms each channel to over 300wrms each channel, and gained no more usuable volume as the tweeter over-power protection limited me. I'm really hoping the tweets and mids are as loud and good sounding as I'm hoping, prolly gonna keep ahold of the RFs just incase these doesn't satisfy my SQ to loudness interests.

mlstrass Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I've installed several sets of Crescendo super tweeters and for $20 each shipped they can't be beat. Also have had good luck with Selenium mids 8's and 10's. The Seleniums are midrange speakers though, not midbass, so they'll need a HPF around 160-200Hz. You'll lose some lower end punch unless you can play your subs up higher. SQ is solid on them if tuned properly, but they're made to get loud, not sound smooth as silk. I do mid 50's on music and they keep up no problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
