Anyone have any recommendations??



This is for a dash/a-pillar install. My criteria is as follows :

Can't be anything nasty big size wise.
Should be reasonably cheap.
Should not sound cheap.
I need this thing to play down fairly low and yet play clean and reproduce without coloration at moderate volume levels.
Don't give a F*** about cosmetics, name brands, etc...... it's just gotta work.
Has to be new.
Will purchase from just about anywhere as longas the price is right....... Bob.


Yes, I generally want everything for nothing. This IS CCA afterall isn't it !!

Freshi......... thanks.... REALLY !! LMAO.

Goalie 35...... thanks for the recommendation. I will look into that as well. I've had Peerless in the past with good results.

The 830883 is the 7inch from peerless...not the one you want hehe.

When thking of a 3inch, peerless also came to my mind, this is would be a brilliant pic.

Fairly low wattage drivers. Hmmmmmm.......... little monsters is correct. Those get down there for their size. But I wonder how they sound !?!?!? Any experience with them AAAAAA?

How about 4.5"?
These sound really good in doors. Not so sure about free air.
Will you be enclosing them somehow?

Edit: NM, just read your note about budget. :P

whoops got my numbers wrong it the hds series model number 830881 again oops! also try to find the pioneer ts-m101prs.. damn nice

How about check out the new Hertz ML700? I am not sure what your real budget is here tho. That is going to likely be my add on to go three way up front. I also have a mille set currently so that does have a bearing on my decision. I have also been told really good things about Hybrid Audio's L3 driver and L4 too for that matter. There are literally a ton of options out there tho. Morel, Focal, Peerless, Seas, the list goes on.

Zaphaudio.com is a dangerous place as it's going to cause me to spend my money. I'm thinking of those DIY-er 3" full range units for my home theatre to replace a BOSE system. $17 a piece for the driver and x-over parts. That's under $100 parts wise for 5 pieces for HT roughly. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
