alright kids, here is something i have been thinking about as of late. I bought the nine5 at the great price and wasn't planing on buying a nine5 so soon, but couldn't pass up the deal. Now that I have it, i am thinking about changing my front stage and going active

The car is: 01 z06 corvette

amp: nine5

No rears

sub: 2 cubby hole 9kv2s

The specs on the amp are:

Model Name : NINe.5 Amplifier
Large 5 Channel Car Audio Amplifier
RMS Power @ 12.5v : Front Channels
4 x 100 @ 4Ohm @ 0.05%THD
4 x 55 @ 8Ohm @ 0.05%THD
4 x 175 @ 2Ohm @ 0.05%THD
2 x 350 @ 4Ohm @ 0.05%THD

RMS Power (Subwoofer Channel) @ 12.5v :
1 x 250w @ 4Ohm @ 0.09%THD
1 x 450w @ 2Ohm @ 0.09%THD
1 x 600w @ 1Ohm @ 0.09%THD

I am wondering what to go with for my front speakers. I am not necessarily looking for a already made comp set with passive crossovers. I'm going active so I can mix and match I'm assuming. Here is a goal. Keeping budget in mind, not cheap but something quality that won't break the bank. I don't want muddy midbass and no harsh highs. I currently have 6.5" cdt cl61s and I would compare these to the ed 6000s. I have time and am in no rush. Any input or suggestions would be great. I am not really sure what I am looking for. thanks for any help guys.

seas neo silk tweeters, and a midrange that can play up to 3k smoothly or so.

The seas neos are roughly 6000 times better than the cdt tweets, give or take ~100.

 

the 7" dayton rs180's are on sale at p/e for $31 a pop

 

thanks for the suggestions guys. Much appreciated.


btw, i have the eclipse cd5000 HU. have to find out if this HU can run active and have the ability to set crossover points from the HU.

 

I'm doing active with a 9855. I have a spare one I've been trying to get rid of cheap... if you dont mind glide touch.

 

my buddy has that same amp and we are going with the Seas CA18RNX and the tweeter that kale recommended in his first post

 

hmm, don't have any experience with the glide touch. Let me think about it and I'll get back to you on that.

 

scott do you have a part number of that tweeter. I try a google and nothing comes up.

 

look up seas neo textile on madisound

 

ok so now which one. to me they all look like they have the same freq response and all the graphs looks the same for each tweeter other than them looking different and costing different, i dont see much of a difference on the graphs. im pretty sure im looking at the wrong thing and have no idea what im looking for as far as specs
