Terrible honestly. But if it's just to add a little bottom end to a OEM system they get the job done
I want to use it in my trunk to cover the amp rack and put lights.Not into the plexi lookkavaninho wrote:timelapse wrote:You using your door baffles I hope.... Kronik.If you are, I would recommend putting them under the riser if you using risers
Kavaninho, where do you get the metal grill material to buy?I needing some of that for the longest while
The grill I used is the regular one that does DJ guys use in PA systems. I got mine at RIK Marabella but should be available at Steve's, Gopauls etc. It comes in a 4foot by 32inch sheet which you can cut. It is not the best solution as it sometime does not always blend with the OEM grille pattern on factory doors. So if you are paying attention to detail take that into consideration.
Mobile Solutions online has nice variety online to choose from but I never purchased as I think it is a bit too pricey.
If you can get your hands on 6.5" speaker grills from a install shop, these work great as well for pressing/using small pieces.

Then if the volume is raised to 50% or higher, it plays fine, clean, warm and loud. However, if i drop the volume back to 25% it continues playing fine. Its like the tweeter needs a warm up lol, but it only happens with the left. Any ideas?
Nope, its an active set up. Crossover set on the 80prs and ran off a jl jd 400.4 which is set to full pass. Amp is new, never repairedkavaninho wrote:Jeremy09 wrote:Fellas, yall ever experience this.

This is symptoms of a poor electrical connection or cold solder. Are there passive xover components on the circuit?

Do some checks and testing. If you are comfortable and certain it is not wiring you installed, start swapping RCAs on your amp and radio to see if the problem carries over to the right tweeter.
I had that problem recently.Was a cold solder on the tweeter itself.But I figured that out after I swapped speakersJeremy09 wrote:Ill start with the jacks and work my way to the tweeter.

It may seem difficult but do it piece by piece and it will be worth it in the end. If you feel you not up for it now the C2s should be decent on head unit power. Very efficient set. It'll be better to keep them when you ready to put an amplifier on them and to not go through the hassle of selling them.*KRONIK* wrote:I actually thinking bout adding to the mix.timelapse wrote:Real JL selling in the classifieds.I wonder what they upgraded to
