Be as specific as possible and they don't have to be car audio drivers. Include prices if you know.

View Full Version : Alright, at Togglehead's request, lets start a list of 5" or 6" drivers with decent midbass/midrange HIS4 01-18-2008, 02:58 PM Be as specific as possible and they don't have to be car audio drivers. Include prices if you know.

HIS4 01-19-2008, 12:51 AM MacSub 01-19-2008, 04:44 AM without custom door builds. S4Per 01-19-2008, 08:47 AM no custom door build neccessary. HIS4 01-19-2008, 12:28 PM S4Per 01-19-2008, 02:34 PM ..so the driver would fit in. there was a difference (for whatever reason) between drivers and passengers side. I only needed to do it on the passenger side. 5speed6 v.2 01-19-2008, 07:08 PM 5speed6 v.2 01-19-2008, 07:13 PM Art series amp. Was really amazed by how well they sounded in the car. It's really harder to get good sound in a 'vertible, and this setup rocked! As always, it depends on the amp/headunit you push them with. I'm not saying they are the best out there, but they are much better than just "decent". Togglehead 01-20-2008, 05:59 PM I have an old set of MB Quart 5 1/4 components...i should dig them out and see what they are... 5speed6 v.2 01-20-2008, 08:17 PM 5speed6 v.2 01-20-2008, 08:19 PM Togglehead 01-20-2008, 09:47 PM They are QM 160's. 2 x 5.25" 2 x 1.75" tweets... 2 x 218.03 xovers. Anything worthwhile? A friend handed them down a while back when he upgraded, but they never made their way into a car yet... HIS4 01-20-2008, 10:09 PM HIS4 01-21-2008, 12:27 AM I really wanted it but I decided to wait on it until I found out more about it. I'm kind of happy I didn't buy it through him since he kind of fell of the face of the planet. Togglehead 01-21-2008, 08:41 AM MacSub 01-21-2008, 03:01 PM baffle for the speaker to kick against. Mounted on flimsy hardboard door card will drastically limit the quality & mid bass of any speaker. If it's a B6/B7 then the speaker is mounted to the actual steel of the door so it's not a problem. HIS4 01-21-2008, 04:39 PM I just didn't really like them in my install. Yours could be different. 5speed6 v.2 01-21-2008, 11:26 PM Hit up the front doors with some Dynamat. Use an amp that has a built in x-over where you can filter out the lowest bass frequencies. Togglehead 01-22-2008, 06:29 AM 5speed6 v.2 01-22-2008, 11:11 PM Hex168 01-29-2008, 01:03 PM I've got more of a home audio perspective, but good drivers are good drivers. As with nearly any metal cone, these need a high slope low pass crossover, notch filter, or both. RS-125 is good for a smaller driver. http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11&highlight=dayton<ul><li><a href="http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=295-372">Dayton Reference</a></li></ul> |
