Aren't you putting the tweeter in the A-pillar? and why would the mid sound like in the kick? you shouldn't even hear them down there..... the sound should be on top of the dash when they are properly set up.

the mid plays from 100hz to well past 10khz, last time i checked.... those were very directional frequencies. they are meant to be heard or they wouldnt have been made. focal themselves says it is meant to be placed near the tweeter.

and yes i am putting a 3" mid and 1" tweeter in the a-pillar..

i made up my design and im going with 2 enclosures in the door. ive seen sum rather large door enclosures. and i can fit them. thx for the input, but my equipment is already in hand, and it was alot of effort to get it so im not letting it go.

Wow!.... thats pretty wide bandwidth to use in a 3-way front end system. you're not going to cross them over?? (10K and up to the tweeter?) and have you plot the dispersion pattern of the mid yet?

buddy are you high???????? no im going to cross them over. thats wut active is. no im not going to tell u what i cross them over at. but i will start at a high/mid/low baseline and go from there. morel supremo's can play 300hz to 30khz. doesnt mean u will ever let them play that. dont give me sass. with the gear i have obviously alot of time is going into the setting up of such gear.

basically i with my processor i can cross the mid channel anywhere from 200hz - 10khz hpf or 2khz - 20khz lpf if i so desire. and at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 or 36 db slope if thats how i wanna hear it.

and if it comes down to buying a mic to tune a flat response. so be it, might as well buy that too..

NO !! It could be active or passive......... but you DID mention above you're running the mid from "100-10K" and I thought you were nuts!

I do know the mid will not work with those crossover frequency in the kicks location. but you never ask what will... cause you knew it all.

When designing a speaker system for optimum performance..... you should know the "frequency range" of each speakers is going to be doing and how steep or shallow the slope of crossover will work best before hand. Otherwise you’ll run into problems later and even the best eq will not fix it. Its basically doing the engineering before the installation.. and running the best equipment won't help that either.

doesn't matter to me....... your system.

and that will make it sound reeeeeal good i'm sure.

ok...
A) it can play that...focal lets it play that, the ****ing thing was MADE to play UNDER 200hz and it was MADE to be placed NEAR the tweeter for an OPTIMAL SONIC IMAGE.
B) no where did i say that i am going to be crossing it at that in the first place
C) a mic for flat response is used for IASCA. its called linearity.
D) as for my crossover and slope settings, what part of "i will start from a baseline tune and go from there" did u not ****ing understand???
E) i do know the frequency range of all my speakers. i am very privy to all the details of each piece of equip i have kthx.
F) i already know what im going to slope each speaker at based on the frequency response graphs of each component
G) stop ****ing responding to me, cuz i will not give u the satisfaction of my reply.
H) just to prove my point that u are a useless flamer, and a hater. i will not post on this forum until after its built. and all u'll get is pics.
I) one more thing. why the **** would i put a 3" mid in a kickpanel if it wasnt being used as a midbass. what kind of ****ing retard are you.... u seem to know what speakers i have so LOGICALLY u would think that the 6.5" would be MIDBASS. not 3" midRANGE......moron..
