My dash dont have much space, so i think somewhere in the door is 1st option
Where you mounting the amp?
Usually I mount my passives by my amp if there is enough space.
I only familiar with cars eh so when I say near the amp I mean if the amp is under the seat or something, not in a trunk.

So i made a harness with speed wire to go to the dash harness and send the signal to the doors.
I know this isnt best practice, but it makes no sense wiring or sound deadening the doors now.
So i wanted to mount the passive crossover in the door to recieve the signal from the door's wire.
Fuse can go under the seat.Put the ground close to the amp.If you can ground to the seat bolts, better yet. Check under your dash if there's a spot you can possibly zip tie the passives.I did that before I went active.*KRONIK* wrote:david12 wrote:That look sweet boy Kronik!*KRONIK* wrote:I already cut the sail panel finisher and installed the flush mount cupstimelapse wrote:Where you putting the tweets Kronik?I put my passive crossovers in the dash itself.I know the c2 crossovers hefty, so I hear you

Right....
So thats the whole reason i kinda stumped.
I have to mount, wire and install the RTMR box, 3 terminal blocks, fuse distribution and ground distribution.
I wanted to put these under the passenger seat.
In my van, the driver seat is powered and has no usable space as the seat motor is mounted there
My thought was the amp could go behind the back seat, somewhere near the box.
So i was thinking a box with a extended panel to house the amp (one 5ch, for the entire system)

This not that bad. If you driving say 75W in 4 ohm loads, it will suffice without issues.
Its 1 amp, but its 2 systems i'm powering:timelapse wrote:Fuse can go under the seat.Put the ground close to the amp.If you can ground to the seat bolts, better yet.

Question, why are you using a power distribution block if you using a 5 channel?You probably said, but I missed it
Options are:timelapse wrote:A bit sloppy, but how about this?Attach the ground distribution to the back of the seat somewhere or under it.Ground to the seat bolts or seatbelt bolts. Take a shot of the back seat.Lemme see what you working with
Mono mids is for Raj and zessers.It will completely ruin your stereo imagingJeremy09 wrote:Fellas, adding 2 more 6" to my set up for high mid. I can get it in 8ohm or 4ohm. I have an amp that will be able to play them if i get the 8ohm an bridge to run 4ohm. But if i get the 4ohm ill have to get a bigger amp and am trying to avoid buying a next amp. Dont want to damage or over heat anything or lose to much sound quality by bridging. Besides hearing stereo, 4ohm speakers worth it or go ahead and bridge?
Ill stick with 4ohm then. Might get some lickz here. I have my mid bass playing 80hz to 3khz. I looking to go 3way an add a midrange speaker. Any budgetish 6" in 4 ohm around 75-100rms that sounds clean and bright up till about 3khz to blend in with my silks?Rovin wrote:listening to quality music in stereo is an amazing experience
it really makes u appreciate d work, talent & uniqueness that good artists & musicians put into their recordings
even when i had my loud systems i incorporated stereo into it ... once u can get d appropriate ohm speakers & ur amp is capable then i say stereo hands down
Lemme fuel the fire. How would said prv compare to the trusty fe200??rollingstock wrote:Might get flamed for this but the prv neo 6's would be perfect for you.
Take the mids up to 4khz.You wasting usable frequenciesJeremy09 wrote:Ill stick with 4ohm then. Might get some lickz here. I have my mid bass playing 80hz to 3khz.

From the specs, those would sound awful without something filling up mid bass up front.rollingstock wrote:Might get flamed for this but the prv neo 6's would be perfect for you.

Car audio isn't the intended application for these either
david12 wrote:Italian made speakers are the best in my opinion. I've heard numerous fe200 installs and they all sound very good. Keep in mind I hate pro audio stuff in a car audio install. The only thing is that sourcing 4 ohm fe200s locally is difficult.
Orion XTR, HCCA and maybe the Cobalt pa speakers are extremely efficient and will play that range of frequency that you are after very well.

I had it on 4khz with a 24db slope but it didnt sound right. I dropped it to 3khz with a 12db slope and it sounded bettertimelapse wrote:Take the mids up to 4khz.You wasting usable frequenciesJeremy09 wrote:Ill stick with 4ohm then. Might get some lickz here.

4k with a 24slope, Then i tried 3.15khz with a 24db slope, that didn't sound good either. I ended up doing 2.5khz with a 12db and it sounded good.

Jeremy09 wrote:Yea. Rovin give me some solid advice and fixed my eq problem. I got mid bass speakers in my front doors. Just looking to brighten up the high mid area.
And placement was gonna be my next question.
Was thinking something small and neat on the back dash for the midrange? An fe200 could work in like a back headrest box or what about the timpano slim? Small but effective or that will mess it up?
Something like that. Midbass and tweets infront and midrange in back dashkavaninho wrote:Jeremy09 wrote:Yea. Rovin give me some solid advice and fixed my eq problem. I got mid bass speakers in my front doors. Just looking to brighten up the high mid area.

So you thinking of doing a midbass on the front door, midrange speaker in the rear and tweets in the front?
