8s up front!!!

[00goobs]

I have to admit, I love car audio. My drive to work takes about 10 minutes, so I take the super long way to make it 20 minutes. My system is pretty simple, ZX600ti to a pair of JL 10W3s (haven't found a pair of RSDC 12s yet or made an enclosure for my cyclone). A ZX500.4ti front to the RSD 6.5 comps and rear to stock 6x9s in the rear. I have some car audio just laying around, so I decided to test out some NIB Helix shallow 8s up front. I made a ghetto enclosure, duct tape and the cardboard box they came in and hooked them up to the rear channels of the 500.4 at 2ohms stereo. I put the 8s on the front floor and adjusted all the crossovers on the Alpine 9887 and the rear cross on the 500.4 so the 8s get 60-150hz.

I am hooked! Even in the cardboard enclosure, guitar strings and vocals sound full and it seems there has been a void in most car audio I've heard. I thought the 10s would would work with a simple 3 way set-up using the RSDs to play everything from 100hz up. I even went as far as giving the RSDs a small enclosure in the doors. Really, the closest thing to a killer SQ set-up was a T-bird with ID horns, 8s in the kick area and 15s IB tuned with symmetry. I am pretty excited to see and hear the cars at the up coming USACi meet locally. Maybe I'll be able to listen to a great system and be able to work from there.

the Ti elite 9s are really shallow and easy to put in a door.

I almost bought Morel 9s last week, but will try to wait for a PG set to surface (if ever)...

keep yer eyes open. I was a little lucky and bought a used set, and then a week later I found a NIB set for almost the same price. Had to break out the credit card for the 2nd set but now I have a back up set in case the new one goes....

I have a set of TI9´s with grilles for sale but another member is interested as well. I have to wait until he´s getting back to me. If he doesn´t take them u can have them for 310USD shipped to you.

Goobs,

I know a guy that had a pair of cd2 horns up front, 8 IDQ's in the kick panel and 2 15IDW's IB in a beretta. The SQ was amazing to say the least.

Funny, that was his speaker setup in a thunderbird. Someone at Ford put a pocket in the kick panel area for 8s, hehehe...

That's nice. I would love to have some 8's in the kick, but I'd need to do some serios modding though.
