Yes...those are some of the sexiest xovers I have seen. The speakers that go with them are just as hot too.

with all the jumpers in there it reminds me of the old xtant amps. The ones you HAD to read the instructions to install, they were sexy too.
You certainly are not going to hide those up in a dash of any of yer benzes are ya???

Audi RS4 and yes they will be hidden. I hide everything now a days. Unless the client states to floss it or the manufacturer gives me the gear for free.
the Audison amp will be hidden also, along with the separates, and the Mille sub... I'd hide the radio to but it wouldn't be easy to operate

Mount them in the doors and put a removable cover over them. When the cover is on make it look as though it is a seam?????

why? who cares as long as it sounds great? I wouldn't cut up the doors to install them anyways unless it was a demo vehicle or a customer request... I rather him tell everyone he only has a radio installed

since it is the only visible sign of a modification

door speakers are the Mille MLK2's from Hertz... my god the detail and midbass these things have... 100x better than the Morels/PG Elite
Here is a pic I tossed some scrap Hushmat around the factory ABS mounts to add some mass for resonance control... and about 6 sheets to the door panel itself...

I like hiding everything... you really need to hear this to appreciate it though... everything is there, impact, stage, height, volume, output, width, and separation... It'll be here to Thursday if anyone is around

looks good as usual man, good to see your work again.
Although I am suprised to see you are using scrap pieces. I figured if you didn't have a fresh sheet that was new and unwrinkeled that the germans would stop the delivery at the door.

no scraps, had to cut it at scrap lengths
mille is $2k
The eBay ones are used, which I could never buy used.

Dat, all is good, hope all is well with yours.
I changed some stuff at the last minute though, I did end up putting a grill on it, as per the customer request, though for some reason he only wanted it from the handle down??? I will get some pics

If you were to install the speakers active, what crossover/signal processor do you use or would you recommend?
