front 6.5 question
Wednesday, December 20, 2006 9:08 PM
i love the sound of my car, but i wish i could crunch a little more bass out of my 6.5 components in the front (they are boston accoustic 6.5's powered by a 100watt alpine, ill get models later)

any ideas that i can do without pushing them out too far from the door so the panel still fits? i dont wanna buy or make kick panels either, i have huge legs.. lol

The best bet if you dont want to relocate them is to use some sounddeadner so theres less vibrations in the door and more bass

if you can find out the exact volume you could port the door

If you put sound deadener and cover up most of the holes, you should get some more mid-bass.

seal the door as best you can covering every hole possible. so the door acts as a sealed enclosure. also make sure you mounting point is solid. good solid wood to speaker. speaker tight around the entire mounting ring so no air escapes. and maybe feed them a little more power if possible.

yea there is sound deadener all around them on the door, and i guess ill just rip off the panels and make sure they are tight against the wood frame.

its 130 watts a channel to them, enough for me

boston rc620 compnents and alpine frp-240 i think something like that


thanks for the suggestions

You mean with different speaker configurations?

Elaborate on your idea, please.

you go to your local speker shop and ask for low ohm speakers most speakers are 4ohms pretty high very crakly sounding but lowere the ohms and you get more mid and lows to learn more search the ohms law

My 4 ohm speakers don't crackle. If they're not running a clipped signal they don't crackle.

dropping impedence doesn't provide more low signal, it allows the amp to produce more voltage (power) due to the less resistence. you get more available power= lows need that power increase (compared to mid/highs) to make the sound known.

scotty every time you lower the ohms you double the distortion going from 4 ohm to 2 ohm or 1 ohm will do nothing to make the speaker sound any better it will just give you more power and more distortion.


and by the way dirty elf, im 6-5 210lbs and i have no problems with kickpods.
