[QUOTE="djdilliodon!, post: 8866069, member: 684299"] The adire Brahma is a great choice on the sub. Great sq, it will play the low notes with authority and get loud as well if you want it to. The cdt line up can be very confusing but you are in luck since I know it as well as the back of my hand lol. If you will run the midbass drivers in the factory locations, some of their midbass drivers do better then others in an IB install. If you’re willing to do baffled pods attached to the doors that are sealed or use fiberglass to accomplish this, you open up the choices for drivers in their line up that will provide even more midbass output. There are a number of ways you can go here, mounting depth can be the limiting factor if using the factory locations but I’ll give you some options. It’s always best to piece together a set sometimes and the items I show you, before you order it would be best to call them, ask to speak with Ken and tell him you are a friend of “Don smith” who was the former owner of island sound. He will definitely give you the best prices! 1. ES-06 midbass drivers, ES-02a wide band drivers, U-500 Xovers. This setup will give tons of midbass if run sealed or IB (best run sealed) in well deadened doors and the midbass drivers mounted solid. If you will run active then there is no need for the Xovers but if not, these Xovers will do the job perfectly and make things super easy. If you like a midbass driver that is smooth in the upper range, has lots of depth to its sound, with lots of midbass output, these are perfect! The Es-02a’s will add the sparkle that is missing. 2. ES-6 midbass, ES-1200iS tweeters, EX-560CD Gold Xovers. This setup still has good midbass output both in sealed and IB setups. The midbass driver has more detail in the upper midrange then the es-06 if you prefer that type of sound. The silk dome Twitter almost has a carbon fiber style pattern, it is very smooth but amazingly detailed. A tweeter that almost all sq buffs would love. The xovers are perfect for both of these drivers paired together. If not running active this is the one you want to use. 3. This is the setup if you want to get a little nutty. ES-6 midbass drivers in doors, ES-03 midrange, ES-1200iS tweeters, and mx1000 Xovers. Es-6 in doors and those 3” midranges in the factory dash locations. The Xovers will allow you the ability to fine tune each driver separately. I remember when these first came out, I got the prototypes for testing and they are excellent passives built extremely well and can also take tons of power. I use to run a 3 way setup with 300w rms per side with no issues at all. This setup I’m sure is gonna take time to tune due to the midranges being on the dash but can pay off big time. As for the rear speakers, I’ve never liked running rear fill personally and always preferred putting the money saved into the front stage. Install plays a huge role in the overall performance.
