i would experiment with the doors, keep in mind it will be impossible to get decent image and stage without the use of time delay when using the doors

What volume (sealed/vented?) does the manufacturer recommend? I know reading the directions is somewhat unmanly but...

^^^ CW17E002

The drivers came individually with no instructions. I already had the kick panels from my last install. I wanted to see how they would work with the Seas. If they won't work then I guess I'll put the mids in the doors.

Yea, vent them. THey do require a lot of space but once you have them in a sufficient amount of space, they will rock...your gonna love them believe me. Which set did you get? The silk dome tweets or titanium?

I got the silk dome tweets. Have you heard this set before Brandon? How did you like them compared to some other high-end sets? </font>[/QUOTE]I liked them so much I was about to buy a set...in fact they were in boxes ready to be shipped, then I had to back out because of a finacial situation that popped up out of nowhere.

The mids are VERY nice..really accurate excellent midbass as well...they are a very fast speaker. The silk dome tweets ROCK! One of the nicest tweets I've heard....the set I almost bought had the silk dome's but they were still a proto type tweeter...probably not what you have right now. I heard that set on an active crossover though, so I can't comment on the passives, I've heard they are a real nice crossover though.

Tweets and mids in the kicks. Was a Toyota Solara I believe. Very nice sounding car....ran off new Xtant amps and a P9.

Here is a link to the specs on the Lotus Reference mids.

i looked at theb t/s and that is a really poor speaker in a sealed box, the speaker would be optimized in a vented box, but that might be impractical, my advice would be to run them i/b in your door, unless you have the time and skill to vent in your doors, good luck
