Silver Member Username: InvictuzSeattle, Wa Usa Post Number: 207 Registered: Jan-05 | I quit playing WoW and have decided to get back into car audio so i have a question: Vehicle - 4 door SUV Would you go with 2 sets of 2-way components or 1 set of components in front door and 1 pair of midbass in back doors? Looking at either 2 sets of CDT ES 620s or 1 set of CDT ES 620 and 1 pair of CDT ES6 midbass (both solutions will be sharing an Audiocontrol 6xs xover) this is me before my eCrack attack: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/784031 The vehicle for my new mobile audio adventure will likely be and 05 tahoe |

Bronze Member Username: HairbandloverPost Number: 11 Registered: Apr-08 | Abarca, did you even bother to ask if he plans on having passangers in the rear?? You are right if he does not need rear speakers if there wont ever be passangers back there but... if there is they suffer especially if the sub or subs are in the back the passangers do not hear any highs at all my system sounds like crap in the back seats because of the " do not get coaxile speakers, and dont worry about putting speakers in the rear. you dont hear them." Just something to think about. |
Silver Member Username: InvictuzSeattle, Wa Usa Post Number: 209 Registered: Jan-05 | all good input! I have been entertaining the idea of a midbass in the rear doors and a tweeter set in either the front dash or rear pillar...gonna start a different thread for the tweeter question tho...thanks for replies here. |

But why put midbass drivers in the rear, you want midbass up front near you to enhance your frontstage. But Pm me Invictuz. |
Silver Member Username: InvictuzSeattle, Wa Usa Post Number: 210 Registered: Jan-05 | i will have rear passengers but not often. My goal is sound quality and a "full" sound (too often i see installs that are all highs and lows with almost no mids). To this end i am considering the 3 way ES series...and maybe a midbass under the front seats. i already have all the amps i need (pair of RF301m mono, pair of RF301x 4channel and a pair of Orion 2500d mono). My head unit is a bit old and may get replaced; alpine 9831 |
