I'm fairly sure the LPGs aren't known for their low crossing. 3k sounds about right, but like I said, I'm not sure.

I don't remember, if I come across it again, I'll post it.

Well, I did a quick look for it and didn't come up with much. A few things about crossing at 3k, one thing crossing at 1,800, but not what I remember reading. I might have been thinking of something else. I'll look more tonight when I get home from work.

Yep they are 2x more expensive. Where did you find info that the LPGs can cross that low? I can't seem to.

Well, Dayton has two way crossovers at 2k, 2.5k and 3k I think. I belive the LPGs power rating is based on 12db slope at 2.5k, so that's the crossover I was going to get.

He listens to a lot of rap type stuff, so sound quality is not really a factor. I automatically graivated toward the Daytons to keep the price of the system low. I don't know how much more he's willing to spend, but I'll see what I can talk him into. I really like the Seas and Peerless drivers. But off the top of my head, they cost at least twice as much.

What crossover point are they?

I think the RS150s would work, but I'd personally recommend a set of Seas coated paper or poly or Peerless Exclusives. For a 2-way, they're going to work better.

yeah, I thinking that too. He's got the trunk room for it. I'm not sure if he's ready to do a sub yet or not. He just got back from Kosovo, got married, and had a kid on the way. lol. It's the Air Force way ... get your girl pregnant, run off to a foreign county, find out she's pregnant, marry her when you get back. It happens all the time. lol. He is ready to do the front speakers though. He's got a so-so HU that will sufice and an older zapco amp about 50x2. I was leaning toward Dayton RS mids, which ever will fit best, and LPG tweets with Dayton crossovers.

Another alternative would be just to build a nice box for the trunk and then port up through the existing rear deck speaker holes to bring it into the cabin.

Dayton makes IB specific drivers, if you take a look at PE.

by Robert Wollenberg » Wed Jun 27, 2007 3:17 pm

That was my plan, MDF and fiberglass. Expanding foam where ever needed. When it's done, the back shelf should look nearly stock. If I don't F it up somehow.

Why is it so difficult to find T/S parameters on car audio equipment? IB drivers need to have a high Qts and a low Fs. I found some Morel and Dayton subs that arn't too bad. This is why I'm turned off by most car audio gear. I guess I look at it as, they must have something to hide.
