Still can put the Trinity in the kicks, though. I'd try both before you glass anything in. You might have a very bad PLD issue with MR's in the bottom of the A pillar. Just sayin. Also consider the dome Illuminator tweet if you cannot get the 1" rings pretty close on axis. Maybe even the 3/4"...

By your rationale, we should be matching amp size with speakers and efficiency to efficiency. It's not a pain in the ass, it's just the reality of situation. I've ran enough "high efficiency" PA drivers to tell you the paper ratings and real world are vastly different for lots of different...

Out of everything listed so far, I'd contact Mark at H-Audio and see what he has for your app. He has experience with a lot of MR's and would be able to either fit one of the H-Audio drivers to your needs or point you in the right direction. I have no affiliation with him or anything, just...

.2 cubes is more than 5L. That's pretty big for "small sealed." Might want to determine how large you can make the kicks, before you buy anything. The other option is just to make them as large as possible and then reduce the Vb to optimize the driver that calls for a smaller air space. Put...

How much room for a sealed kick do you have? Any idea how large of a Vb it will end up? You really should model your candidates to see which will play best, in what I'm guessing will be, a small sealed kick...if you haven't already.

That's just silly. There are numerous things wrong with all of the assumptions you just made. Are all sensitivity measurments = across manufacturers? No. What about baffle diffraction? Off axis listening effects? Amp efficiency? Also, why can't one effectively level match where it counts...

You cannot eliminate noise, esp in a car. 1 lb/sqft of anything is good for about 25 STC. Blocking noise is frequency-dependent. That means, there's no such thing as a broad-band blocker of noise. Long waves easily refract (bend) around stuff...MLV included. Also, CLD mat performance is temp...

What's the purpose of the foam?

That's because that "clay ****" is not all the same. The clay YOU used was probably wax-based and only good to about 150* F. A door can get that hot, esp in Fla. Alumilite has the highest temp rating I know of...and it's synthetic-based. Also, why would one put a soft decoupler between a...

Just use silicone or rope caulking for the air gasket between the ring and the metal. Also, if you can, coat the MDF in fiberglass resin or liquid deadener to seal it. Better yet, don't used MDF at all...solid birch ply, hard plastic or some other solid material. Something like HDPE (aka...

Yes they do. Which is why you're going to pay extra for brand-named component sets. Now don't everyone jump on my nuts for that statement; it's meant for within the context of this thread. And x3 on staying with 3-way active. To run 4-way, you're looking at at least another $500 in expenses...

If your Alpine deck has 3-way DSP capabilities, then you're all set....you'd just need amps. If not, then look at Kicker SX or the latest Kenwood amps that have DSP boards built into them. Why buy a passive comp set of you're not going to use the x-overs? What size midgrange/midbass will you...

You mean like the link in my sig? There are over 276 threads on PnS on this forum. How many times has Rudy, myself or others completely dismissed any anecdotal claims about the effectiveness of mylar-covered asphalt as a damper? This used to be kind of a fun forum. Was waiting to get into it...

^^ see what I'm saying here. It works. Why are there so many using PnS for deadner like ED, Sound Destroyer, FatMat, and tons of others you can get for great deals on eBay? Maybe because they finally came to their senses and marketed their roofing products to us for OUR benefit? Yea. Butyl is...
