Recommend a three-way front stage
Recommend a three-way front stage
I need help. I have a friend who is willing to give me his cyclone. Unfortunately, my current front stage, Quart reference 6 inch, will not provide near enough mid-bass.
I do not want to run an extra speaker wires so I'm looking for a three-way set up with around an 8 inch midbass and a passive crossover. He is willing to do all of the install work and has the ability to make custom door panels or kick panels if necessary. (Nothing too extreme, I don't want to kill the poor guy).
The system will be a run using my two new toys a black ZX450 the front (it is a minivan, don't complain about rear fill ) and a black ZX500 for the cyclone.
I'm somewhat price sensitive, but because I'm getting the cyclone and install for free I'm not against the $700 range, but if you can recommend something a little less expensive than Dynaudio I am all for it.

Bi-amp a Dyn System 362. Prob best 3-way set out there for under 2 grand.
If you go to a local shop they usual qoute around 900-950 for the set and IMO nothing will come close unless you ues DIY speakers fully active.
YOU WILL NEED A 8" MID IMO too with the cyclone. The new Dyns are getting the title of king of the midbass from the reviews I've read. Save up little extra cash the extra $200 will be worth it.

Can one send others to war if hes not willing to go himself?

I used to have a Cyclone and I ran 8" XMAX subs for mid-bass. All I could say is go for Ti Elite 9-5-1 and run the extra set of wires .

Yeah you're right...but would sound great!!!AVICJR wrote:The only problem with that is the availability of the pieces.

I have not even seen a 9-5-1 for sale in a while. Assuming I could find one, I could probably shift the rear fill to an old left over XS2300 I already have. I would still have to run an extra set of speaker wire to the front. This is not an easy thing to do in my car as the floor has already been lowered 10 inches to accommodate a wheelchair and there is no carpet.
I have to 3rd the vote for Dyns. Another to look at is CDT. A local here has 2 sets of 8" 3 ways in his doors. Sounds real good.
"ZPA's will have the same sound essentially as you get from the MS, they just feature a bigger shinier set of balls."

I believe the reason he doesn't want to go active is because he would have to run extra wire, which he is trying to avoid.bdubs767 wrote:Can you go w/ a three way active front stage?
Sounds like he wants to use current run of speaker wire to a passive xover, then run wire to the three speakers from there.
tetraag-glad to see you posting over here.
If thats the case....dyn, dls, mmats offers some stuff, focal, oz just came out with a new set, andmorelAVICJR wrote:I believe the reason he doesn't want to go active is because he would have to run extra wire, which he is trying to avoid.bdubs767 wrote:Can you go w/ a three way active front stage?

I would say try the focal polyglass v2 series. They have a 3 way system using an 11" midbass, 5.25" midrange, and a 1" tweeter. It is model number 270V3.
Here is focal's site.

And I found them for sale at woofersetc. com. for $630.00 Here's a link.
