run off this already:

then we can battle

I know a chap with almost exactly the same setup, even down to the IDMax in the ski hatch, except he is running a DLS A6 and an Alpine HU.

He drives a bimmer though.

Word of warning, he bought the Dyns from Indo and they had no tweeters with them, they claimed he was trying to rip them off and refused to send replacements so he had to buy new ones. Still a large saving though.

Any ideas about how you are going to mount the Dyns?

 

[Tom]

Just looking at the amp, don't use it for full range! Its a class-T and they suck.

Patrick is running an Arc 2500-XXK for the front end.

Good question!

its going to require some serious modding to make it worthwhile. i am aware that i need to keep all three drivers as close as possible, especially tweets and mids. Possibly put those on dash and a pillars. then put some work in with the midbass units in the door locations.

any thoughts yourself?

unless i take the chance with indo i cannot afford to get a tasty install.

 

[Tom]

Midbass in doors, dome mid on dash and and tweet in the A pillar. Thats how I've done mine (but with a cone mid) and I think Brendan someoneorother also did the same. Supposedly his Bravo was one of the few cars to get a full 50 points for soundstage in an IASCA UK comp.

 

[thomas]

ok. i really want about 300W rms to each channel.

agreed, this would appear to be better suited but how much is it!?:

[thomas]

better still i could bridge this:

but i'm scared of its price tag!

 

[Tom]

Another chap I know has the 2500 paired with the Dyn 340s in his car but no sub.

Pop over to the nearfield forum, Matt might give you a discount

 

[thomas]

will he recognise if i say you sent me there?

 

[Tom]

Yup.

Wish me luck...
