HIFIGUY Unregistered guest | Would an 8 inch speaker placed up front in a small sealed enclosure produce good mid-bass?? |

Silver Member Username: Riebread77Post Number: 587 Registered: Jun-05 | depends if its made for midbass or designed as a subwoofer...buy a midbass and it will provide good midbass |
|
HIFIGUY Unregistered guest | How do you tell by looking at the specs if it is a midbass or not? By the Hz range, correct? If so, what should the range be for a midbass? What does everybody else use for midbass?? |

Silver Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 165 Registered: May-05 | im doing the same thing with 8s except not in front im putting them on the roof behind the a console the ones i got are midbass\subs the HZ range wont tell you everything because its up to the manufacturer how the rate it. For instance two speakers with ranges from 30hz-1khz but one may only just barely have an audible signal at 1khz and the other be obnoxiously loud at 1khz. That and one can be heavily distorted at one of its limits. I do prefer 8s as midbass drivers but you have to find the ones that can be used as midbass the only ones I know of are CDT, kicker, and adire audio. I went with the cdt myself. they werent very expensive only $60 each |

HIFIGUY Unregistered guest | I saw the Kickers on car domain for 250 dollars...a bit spendy. Where can I buy the CDTs that you have? Where can I buy Adaire Audio? Do they sell direct? Is there an online store that sells them? |

HIFIGUY Unregistered guest | Cool, thanks for the link. What is it about them that makes them a midbass? Do yours perform well as a midbass? They are a 4 ohm svc correct? Do they ask for a small sealed enclosure ( 0.35 cubic feet), is that what yours are in? |
|
Silver Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 168 Registered: May-05 | they go in small enclosures or infinite baffle they just have a usuable frequency range which makes them play well at higher bass frequencies. The only way to really tell what a speaker can do is look at raw data of their performance. They are 4 ohm svc |

Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 201 Registered: Jul-05 | Hey Jase - Was by Glenn on Friday = $2500 complete kit . Right now i'm trying to get a hold of the guy who makes them for Glenn & a whole lot of ppl in central . He lives in Edinburgh on the main rd , heard he does a very good job , original & hardly any fillering to do after . He has a regular job in Chaguaramas doing f.glass work so he's a hard 1 to get to so i will have to make a spin by his house in the night lol . BTW today i did a small budget audio install on my bro in law's new shape Wingroad wagon . He did not want 'too much loud bang' so i installed a Jenson cd/mp3 deck , used back the stock door speakers but with an added pair of 1" tweeter up front & a pair of Power Acoustic 6 x 9s each in a separate box that i made (came out factory looking)in trunk facing back hatch . I know its cheap brand but sounded damn good for that el cheapo equipment lol . What about u ,got your w7 hooked up yet ? BTW too - where do u usually buy rims/tires ? - i'm looking for some 15s ..... |

HIFIGUY Unregistered guest | Ron, I got a pair of the CDT speakers coming. Thanks again For the link! 14.99 dollars for the shipping....per speaker.... Ouch!!

Silver Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 174 Registered: May-05 | you went o the wrong link did you use the one i gave you it shouldve been one cent for the second one. well anyway whats done is done I beleive i have 200 rms going to both I wouldnt recommend putting them in doors though |
|
HIFIGUY Unregistered guest | The day you gave me the link, it was 14.99 dollars for the first one the one cent for anything additional. Then I asked the seller a question about the item, and all of a sudden he goes and raises it to 14.99 dollars each. Money hungry ba$tard!! What kind of enclosure do you have yours in? How happy are you with them? |
