What do you guys think...

Something like two tweeters per pillar, two smaller mids per kick, two mids per door.


You can get away w/ smaller driver and being able to play your midrange lower and higher up w/o having to worry about beaming. Any thoughts...

Really thinking about trying two 1" tweeters per pillars, 2 3" mids per kick, and 2 6.5" subs per door.

I'm sure you're more than aware of the implications of reflections and canceling effects in a car... ;)

I've seen multiple midbass drivers in the door done with success. But not mids and tweets too. But I'm a fan of just trying anything and finding out for myself. Although building something only to tear it apart after you realize it's not working kinda sucks.

hmm, I don't think this goint to work.

reflections, more we don't have to tell you. A car is just a to small place to build up serious system. most people who have a 3-way system have problems with installing it because you have to place that 10cm mid. 6 speakers, just to much I think...

what else you can do (a friend is trying):
put a 20cm kickwoofer in the door. this is just for the low sections (let's say between 40-75hz). then a 16cm mid kickbas is taking over the kick + a little of the mid (not to much, because 16cm are not realy made for mid). then a 10cm mid is taking over to the higher sections, the tweeter goest to 25khz or more...

or you can try with double kick offcource :wink:

Never really seen it before.

2 tweets per a-pillar
2 3" mids per kick
and a 6x9 sub per door or fire wall (basically kick)
