Re: My Mercedes project is finally complete


the driver fit very well. the stock speaker was attatched to some sort of plastic "enclosure" (for lack of a better word) so the magnet barely stuck inside the door. a combination of that added space and the mdf baffle rings- it worked out great. because of the way the stock speakers were set up- that made the door panel deep on the inside also. i ended up with about .75" clearance on the front side and magnet side.

they are crossed over around 70hz @18db. the midbass out of these things is amazing- especially considering it's roughly a 7" driver. i could cross them much lower if i wanted to.

i originally wanted to go with the sonosub for 2 reasons- 1) it was original/different (at least for car audio) and 2) it was light weight.

it sounded great, seemed to be really sturdy, and looked good (outside the car). it just didn't "fit" the install or the car. the cups or stands that i tack welded together looked pretty trick to. i saved the setup- i will most likely use it for something else. most likely when i get around to installing a sub in my girlfriend's car.
