whats tha difference in tha two foreal i don't understand does one out perform the other, or do they perform on tha same level but one brand is a lil bit cheaper, and do they make either in some 5" or 6" for tha doors, i was gone deck my insides out with memphis m-class, but i keep thinking bout how them selenium and eminence sounded when i was in fla, and that shit sounded good and now i think thats tha route i should take, so i cn bring some new shit to these bama boys ears cause dont'nobody up here rock them and don't know body up here bring that concert sound to tha block, up here it's all about bass so i'm trying to kick something off, and a site where i could find them at would be nice

selenium sounds better

partsexpress.com
crownvic02
ok i found a site parts-express that sells them both, and only selenium makes 6inch drivers, Selenium 6W4P 6" Woofer is that tha correct driver i'm suppose to be looking at.................and what else would i need to bring the sound stage together pretty good, or is that all really for tha basic setup or is there anything extra, and should i take out my co-axial would that make it sound kinda crazy with running both

Mister Terrific
Should be enough room in your doors for the 6s not sure how deep they are though, are you planning on using the stock opening or fiberglassing some door pods?

I got ya homie, I still think you got plenty of room up there. Local shop was considering putting another 6.5 in the same spot where you talking so I know its room there.


I kind of like caps idea, but if I was going that way, I would do (2) 8s and (1) super tweeter in the bottom of the doors.

Selenium man is here!!!!

he can do 6's, they all loud as hell, give em power. The mounting depth fir the 6's is 2.9"... my personal rule of thumb is to use half the number of tweets to your woofers. meaning if you going to buy (8) 6's then buy (4) Tweets. depends on your sound preference, i know dudes who got nothing but mids in their cars (no tweets) and all you hear is talking from blocks over. You dont need 100 of them either,a couple of them in a car will hurt ya head after while

glassing doors for $150? I hope that is just a small pod... materials will cost well over that for a full door.

Im going to try my own or let DC do it. But when 727customs was open they did doors for the L-O-W...i was talking about a full fiberglass dash and they quoted me $600 painted. They did that blue cutlass with the top cutoff on 6's round here, his entire interior is basically fiberglass and he paid more for his lift kit then his fiberglass.......

Depends on where and who you got to .


and i will be running (2) Kinetik 2400's in my car.

I also will be running (8) seleniums to start off so I got a 2-channel amp. (4) Seleniums can be wired down to 2 ohms, so (4) on each channel with at least 300W RMS is what you should look for, I mean even if you underpower them alot they still get loud as hell.
the727kid
No wonder they went out of business QUICK. I'm not sure if I would trust fiberglass work that cheap. I know 727 did a half ass job on my boys alarm.
