New member Username: BigbobbyhowardPost Number: 8 Registered: Jul-06 | ...that if I get a 15" I need to get a 10" or 12" to catch all the bass? Somebody told me that a 15" only catches the low bass. |

Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1289 Registered: Jan-06 | lol, noooo. Most subs can handle frequencies from 20 to 100 hz, some higher, some lower. In order to have a fine balance you will need what you call Mid bass, like 6 1/2" or 5 1/4" in the doors or kick panels folowed by tweeters and maybe smaller components. I am a bass head so the components are not that big of a deal to me but I still like to listen to a lot of music that requires a great deal of component output, that is where a Kicker sx900.4 comes into play, lol. Maybe others can chime in here... Polo.  |

Bronze Member Username: RiskybPost Number: 69 Registered: Feb-06 | It all depends on the 15'' sub's range. But yea If I were you I would pick up some nice Mid bass drivers like Polo said. |

Most 6.5" midranges woon't roll off smoothly to a 60Hz point, so you usually want to consider using 8" midbass drivers between the fifteen(s) and 6.5" mids. In my car I use a single fifteen, two 8" midbass, and 3" midranges with 1" tweeters. works very smoothly. |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 4026 Registered: Apr-05 | Hey Glasswolf, where are your 8"s mounted? I have a similar setup, but I just put both of mine in a sealed enclosure...they were just too big for me to make a kickpod etc. for the doors... |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11538 Registered: Dec-03 | Mine are part of the DynAudio system 360 front stage. I have them up front with the mids and tweeters, but these are shallow mount, sealed midbass 8" drivers, not 8" subs. I'm also working with a 1966 Dodge, so I have very deep doors and a ton of legroom to work with for kickpods. I don't have the problems of most modern cars for speaker location. |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 4059 Registered: Apr-05 | That's cool, do you have any pics? I'd be curious to see how you have your drivers placed. |

Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1338 Registered: Jan-06 | Curious Wolfman, You have a set a quiet turbos on that Dodge or are you running glasspacks. Reason I ask I remember having a system in my 79 AMC AMX with a 401, I always ran Thrush tubos but had issues with the exhaust competing with the system. Don't get me wrong it was loud but soo was the exhaust, lol. Polo.  |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11547 Registered: Dec-03 | no pics at the moment. I have the panels all taken off for paint right now so the car looks like a big shell. I have them in fiberglassed pods though, to angle them, since mind cover a lot of lower midrange with a shallow slope XO. Polo, my exhaust setup consists of ceramic coated hooker supercomp full length headers to a 3.5x10" set of collectors, to a 3.5" to 3" reduction X pipe, out to two dynomax superturbo mufflers, and 3" pipes out the back. this was the engine with open headers at idle, up to 3KRPM: http://www.glasswolf.net/misc/440.mp3 |

Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1344 Registered: Jan-06 | LOL, that means you play your sterio with the car not running or you have a lot of deadening material and windows up, sounds sweet! Polo.. |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11556 Registered: Dec-03 | entire car is deadened. spray-lined from firewall to tail lights inside, roof to floors, engine compartment is sprayed with a rhino-lining typa material as well. Then the doors, trunk, etc have dynamat material, and I used expanding foam to tighten up spots matting can't reach. On top of that I have an electrical system that lets me run for quite a while with the car off, isolated, and yeah I tend to play it with the windows up, too. it works out.. but with the superturbos, it purrs as long as I don't put my foot in it. |
