Well i've had the idea to expose my crossovers since well.... like day one and i finally got bored and did it.

But talk about a pain in the *** these things are massive. hahahaha

had to screw them in, put the cover on and then drill the holes. i already did the drivers side door but i figured i'd snap a couple of shots before i threw in the passenger side door.

so here ya go

i'd do them on icix but nobody is there to approve them so photobucket it is

as you can see i have the holes marked out to drill just need to do it and pop them back on tomorrow after i finish deadening the doors

nice. i like the angle. much better than my kickpanel mounting.

yeah i dig it, i decided to try and get some smaller gromits to clean it up.

die die die die die die die die...err i mean diy diy diy diy diy diy diy

i'll do a diy and put it up tomorrow. its pretty easy actually

i did the same thing with my JL crossovers

yeah i have some red led's that are in there as well. can't wait to light those bishes up

pretty nice. i put mine in the glove box. they fit perfectly and no drilling needed ;)

glove box was an option but i wanted them exposed and i have my ps2 and emanage in my glovebox

Looking good Nebster. BTW, I saw your car on Caraudio.com, nice to see more tC's over there.

yeah i need to post more over there but i forgot my pw hahaha and i'm too lazy to fill out the damn form

Me Likey!

Good Work! :D

got the pass in. i'll do a DIY for the drivers side here when it cools the F down

thx

done done and doner, i'll work on a DIY for people this weekend

I like the idea but not the implementation.

thats fine, they're not everyones cup of tea but i love them

I like it. I am debating if I am going to fiberglass them in the trunk and the glovebox, or the door.

??? wth are crossovers

as in what's the purpose of them

as in what's the purpose of them

They separate frequencies so that the woofer gets lower frequencies and the tweeter gets higher frequencies.

Maybe I can do something cool with mine when I put the 3-ways in. :)

tweeter? :doh: Audio is def. not my forte

yep this is purely temporary until i get my dls ir 6.3's. these are going to be going in a pod in the back with some monitors and all 6 crossovers will be going in the trunk / back seat area when the project starts but this is just to get me through the end of the show season

that is unless i decide to run everything active, then thats a totally new story

And if so then you'll definitely have to show them off since active is so damned expensive. You should get Bing to fab up something pimp for you.

or i'll just make it myself.

and active isn't that expensive. just have to get a good eq and a beefy amp. can you say nine.5 ftw

as in what's the purpose of them

They separate frequencies so that the woofer gets lower frequencies and the tweeter gets higher frequencies.

tweeter? :doh: Audio is def. not my forte
Very simple explaination...

The tweeter plays the high frequency stuff... usually cymbals, most vocals probably... high stuff.

The woofer (or mid range) will play the medium-low stuff. Usually the guitar, rhythm, that sort of stuff.

The subwoofer... well, you should know what a subwoofer does. :)

The crossover is generally for the first two - so that he proper frequency goes to the correct type of speaker. One line in, two lines out (one for the tweeter and one for the woofer). And you'd have two crossovers in total - one for each side.

gotcha :D thanks for the explanation!

active?

Active is having a dedicated amp channel for each tweeter and each midrange, and using no passive crossovers to split the signals.

yeah sorry i didn't say that. i figured everyone knew that.

also this would help

so using the high pass and low pass? is active?
or the actual channel

setting the hpf and lpf with your eq / sound processor is active. crossovers typically do that themselves (thats passive)

its much more expensive to run a setup in active than it is in passive because you need to have an external processor / eq as well as a channel for each speaker powerful enough to power the mid and the tweet (NOT just the crossover)
