Some phase issues will likely occur between the 5s and 6's, but if you can get them in phase, you should be quite pleased.

Do you think I will still have phase issues if the speakers are crossed over at the same level? For my set-up, Diamond has mid-bass crossovers that have a low-pass filter to the midbass from 200 or 400 and a matching hi-pass to the midrange, so I figure there should be limited phase issues, other than maybe right around the crossover point.

I worry about all those drivers sharing the same (backwave) airspace in the door

is this an issue even with sound dampening material covering the entire door? I thought back wave was not a big deal if the speakers are baffled well enough.


As for the type of car, it is a Kia Rio - and I don't know if I'm quite ready to build enclosures for the door, but I am installing those plastic cups or whatever they are called to set the 6.5s into. For $15 a pair its worth a try anyway.

I say keep the sub!

 

Look at the Morel 6's, I'd say you won't NEED a sub, tho .., it won't hurt

 

NO SUBS???? are you guys crazy? what's next factory amplifiers and stock speakers? Enough of this crazy talk, go to your nearest car audio shop and buy a couple of subs right away, wash your mouth out with soap and dip your typing finger(s) in rubbing alcohol. This is 2005 not 1905, every car should have a subwoofer or 3. Even the factory is putting dual subs in their cars(2005 stang-shaker 1000). Do you guys want to be laughed at, called names and not allowed to join in any car audio games. It's just crazy!!! Anyway to each his/her own!

 

I agree with Veeman,

Do you want to live life as "The Man With No Bass"

 

Ha! ha! ha! fatty matty has got no bass! see, you don't want that. Don't do it man, just don't do it!

 

Well, after further deliberation and listening to music in my car... the sub will stay [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/jammin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

Thanks for all the input - all I need now is a more powerful amp to push my Diamond Audio TDX 12 to it's sonic nirvana sounds I know it is capable of!
