Sealed is like putting a restrictor plate on your F1 engine intake manifold, and then trying other tricks to make power.

Sealed with the correct amplification and processing is marvelous though...

I feel, u Wil get more impact FUL bass from a fold up fan being waved vigorously, than a sealed.

Or a 12" zebra in a pigtail bucket lined with flash band and a 3"pvc port 9.5" long.

like i said b4 i used to run sealed yrsss ago but it just lacks output, rolls off too much & not pronounced enough at d deep end

a sub that was designed to play real low & obviously a good box design will deliver those lows with authority & smoothness ...

Fellas, srs thing, no clowning, that means you timelapse... recommendations for a coaxial or component 6.5 that will work efficiently and sound decent overall on headunit power. No Subwoofer in the system so something that would sound good playing everything. Budget around $800 for a pair

The OP has surfaced

I can't remember the exact price of the JL C1's but they're definitely around that budget. Really efficient and sound damn good on lower power.

I think rovin have? Not sure hopefully he could chip in

Got some Memphis by rovin, was really good off the deck.
Would be better on a small Amp. And with these nsno amps, it wouldn't be much hassle to do
Or, run them high pass off the deck and put a small sub.

Depends on budget and power. But for the price the deltas are probably the best budget.

rollingstock · Postby **rollingstock** » February 11th, 2023, 8:21 pm

The beyma 10cmv2 is great on midbass, less than 300rms each and around $700.

Tnx
I don't want to be going an trying 10 different Speakers.

At least this will make a short list.

And compared to the regular 18 song and ds 18... What's the difference in performance?

rollingstock · Postby **rollingstock** » February 12th, 2023, 1:23 am

18 sound very loud and annoying to me. DS18 have different models but I've never used them extensively to really compare them. Beyma is solid and reputable. Never had a bad experience with them, same with the DD's. Can't go wrong with those.

What amplification you have and intended use?

rollingstock wrote:What amplification you have and intended use?

Amplification will depend on what model 10's I find suitable.
So far, the deltas are in mind.

I will audition the beymers.

Depending on which giving what I looking fur then I will decide.

Rovin · Postby **Rovin** » February 12th, 2023, 12:08 pm

ent u have ur own thread bai

havent messed with any mnm speakers in yrs, iirc they arite but nothing outstanding, good for low budget at d time - dunno what they go for nowadays

all good manufacturers have specs & response graph so check those out

i personally like faitals especially for their low mid & light weight neo magnets which a huge plus instead of 15lbs of other ferrite speakers , i used their 300 & 500 series - i like them alot ...

Jeremy good sir
I recommend the C 1s.They are made to run from headunit power.I had those for a bit before upgrading to the C2s.I just needed something with a slightly higher power rating.
When you changing car, keep the C1s.Just make sure you don't damage them.

Want to mount the c1 tweeter here, at an angle. Want to minimize damage also. Any recommendations. Tiida has no spot for a tweeter

david12 · Postby **david12** » February 13th, 2023, 11:39 am

If that's the case, and it's a definite temporary install, the coaxials might be a better idea.

Postby **Dave** » February 13th, 2023, 11:48 am

Shame of you David12...the Rockford separates you did and found the mounts on AliExpress to give an OE finish should be drawn upon.

See if the attached pic is your mirror back and don't install and have it looking botched.

That's plenty to do and source for a temporary fix. If it was permanent then I'm all for it. Keep it stealthy if the car didn't come with a factory 2 way.
