Title says it, I'm looking into the Massive Audio Ck6's for the fronts... but what about the rears? Can you guys recommend me something good that can work with my interior aftermarket amp...

At the moment I have on front and rear Infinity Kappa forgot which model...

this is the amp Im using for interior speakers

Alpine PDX 4.150


I am only using a single 10" Kicker L7, this amp is helping it bump
Alpine Vpower MRP-M650


plus I'm using a Clarion MCD360 ( don't mind me on this had it on my previous car thats why i installed it back )


any help would be great...

I think I can predict the general response you will get to this question. Something like, "Leave the rears alone and use the extra money for better fronts"

That's it. Dump the majority of your money into the front speakers if sound quality is your goal.

Noob! with the good response!! Excellent lol


I agree here. We need to know what you like the least and your budget for this. If it were me, I'd bridge that amp and pick up some components. Factor in money for deadening (and sealing if you can) or it's only 50% done.

Absolutly, thnx IHC

I like crisp and clear sound, loud at the same time not just bass.. I have infinity components up fronts but sound like crap once i hit 33 on some songs. They start "crackling"

why the new avatar? lol

looking at the clarion unit

you're subs are lowpassed at...50hz

why?

I hate cars

Good catch... I wonder if the mids are at 80hz or higher, it's kind of hard to read. I had Infinities and 80hz is a good highpass if you're putting any power to them. I could make them bottom at will with 75w and a 70hz highpass.

It would be interesting to take the sub up a little higher and re-evaluate.

Eggy- I've read a lot of great car audio post from you but I got to know, what do you drive and where in the bx you located?? Lol

Also, Abp doesn't have a clue why his lpf is at 50hz... this install is probbly 4 years old and he's never touched it.

Thnx Arn... Dejame ver que hago.

I bumped up the hertz and boost level plus front speakers to the max.. Sounds much better i just need to play with it a lil more, some songs i cant hit 33-35 on sum songs without these infinitys crackling

eggyhustles

boost should always be at zero

It would probably be better if u deleted that clarion unit all-together

keep what u have, just revamp everything. Put the sub in the right box, get a better front stage, etc etc.

Lol. Have you gotten your Max yet?

Yeah I got it. His packing was god awful, but I inspected it and don't see any rips, cracks in the basket, etc. Guess we'll see when I fire it up. Pressing on it & it sounds quiet so that's a good sign. He literally put 1 wrap around the sub of bubble wrap (not covering top or bottom of sub..just sides) and then found a large box for it. Filled the box with the twisted, cardboard feeling paper they sometimes use and then just stuck it in the box. It could move around, roll, whatever..pretty obvious as you can see it punctured a hole in the side of the box. Dude is a freakin idiot.

He told me it cost him $56 to ship. I told him to go to UPS and have them pack it so it would be insured properly, just in case. He tries to pack it himself and did a horrible job.

Ill take a pic of my box and post it up

I hate cars

You've got to give him some horrible feedback along with pictures of the packing. That's why I save every sub box and packing because it makes shipping so easy if you ever sell one. I've got a box of peanuts and bubble wrap at home and I rarely buy/sell anything. In fact, I just shipped my Dyn speaker grills to a guy off of DIYMA and bubble wrapped the grills, put them in a box, put that box in a bigger box surrounded by the peanuts. Shipping a sub loose like that is irresponsilble and should not be taken lightly.

On the bright side, that's a badass sub if it works.

Yeah lets hope! Building the box tomorrow and should only be 10" deep, so I'll gain 7" of my trunk back. Win!!
