I have been learning over the past year all the great things about car audio from probably the best in Canada (aka Sounder Light Owner "Lou"), the guy has been doing this shit since 1971"""" The first in Canada to do what he does. When I came to him with my new car months back, I asked him for something similar to yours, (the mounting set up) He gave me a look... then a lecture, he then showed me his old mini, he brought me in and started it up.... THE best fucking audio experience of MY life. All I can say is mounting the speakers in the door would have been easier, and possibly sound much better, I can't really vouche for their placement all that well though, I have sat in a buick regal maybe once... All I know is that if that is how it was done
in my cavalier......it would sound terrible. (fucking horrid)
From what I can see, you know your shit and have already thought all of this out. So my bashing on the install were a bit over zealous at that. ed: Ya you do know more then me, but that doesn't mean that you can't make mistakes, or be always right with this stuff. Who knows, maybe tripper could make a mistake tommrow on irc about something to do with hip hop history, and then I correct him....(I wish) + don't regals have mounts for tweeters built right into the dash ? I know our old rendevous did.
[quote:faeb4]but you get into lots of trouble with that crossover point and the drivers being so far apart. [/quote:faeb4]
-the 1.5 foot gap between the tweeter mount and the lower speaker is not an issue, not to mention the time correction feature on any decent HU can help solve this problem. Any Alpine deck offering the I-personalize feature goes above and beyond the call of tuning your system.
-In any case, I always prefer a ported solution for my subwoofer setup. Hell I enjoy bandpass setups more then sealed.
-If you want to see my new system, ill pm you in a second with my cardomain link,
