in the door

 

Give the Kendwood eXcelon 6.5" a try. They are supposed to be shallow enough to mount with no mods. I have them but are not intalled yet. Another couple guys on the forums have installed them with no mods needed.

 

I have the Focal Polyglass 165 V Slim in the doors. They sound awesome!

 

heres a layout of my speakers......

stock speakers in the door (for navigation)
rear speaker are empty storage compartments w/detachable grill.

HIGHS:
a pair of ILLUSION AUDIO CH1 (compressed horns)
under each side of dash.

MIDS:
custom kick panels w/FOCAL UTOPIA 165W (6.5") driver. kick panel metal reinforcements (fenderwall) was removed, recessed and rewelded, also relocated fuse box, clutch switch, multiplex modules, wires, etc. to accomadate fiberglass kick pods.

LOWS:
in the bottom(floor) are 4-ILLUSION AUDIO Nd8 (8")drivers, 1 under each floormats and another under each seat (seats were raised 1/2" only to accomadate)

ULTRA LOWS:
and in the trunk is a 15" ILLUSION AUDIO Nd15, playing below 43Hz, since sub is only 4.75" depth, box was at stock height.

did i mention the 1/2 ton of DYNAMAT!!!

love that set up al... im jealous as f&*K...

I'm running Phoenix Gold Titanium Elite TI6Comp components. They sound incredible, and I can't believe they amount of bass they produce with my amp powered to then.

 

sorry, dont ment to hog up this thread but i got one last pic.....

 

Klipsch 6.5" Cerametallic mids in the doors
Klipsch tractrix horns from a RCW-3 molded into the kicks

modded xo from the rcws ...

I had to make a MDF ring to mount the mids ... so they are spaced out a bit.

I was suprised at how little room we have to work in there.

As long as you are installing yourself ... just get creative .. you can make it fit.

Al,
Very nice install ... how did you get the nd-8s in the floor?

Is that the Pioneer premier 9?
Are you using its internal crossovers for the front 3-way setup?

jim

 

the Nd-8 are only 2" deep, so floor level wasnt raised up at all, i took out all cushon under oem carpet then replace with MDF/fiberglass, made sealed encolsures. seat was raised 1/2 to clear rails.
the P9 has built-in 4way electronic x-overs/time align.

 

Al,

Are you the same Audiomobile that used to be run by matt overpeck? (EVO, MASS, NICHE subs)

Or is that just your shop name?

Jim

 

we are in bay area since 1990, used to have 4-store chain.
1. SAN JOSE
2. CAMPBELL
3. MOUNTAIN VIEW
4. OAKLAND
now its just Oakland.

 

I'm running the PCE216's and didn't have any problems. I had the stereo shop do the install but I'm sure that they would have charged if they had to make any modifications. 6.5 in the door and the tweeter in the stock location. They mounted the crossovers under the seats because it was closer to the amp and you want to get as little exposure to heat and moisture as possible.

 

Thanks for all the hijacks... I mean replies. I have all my speakers selected.

Now............ The saga begins......... The Audience Is Listening!
