^I would tell you how deep they are but I can't seem to get to their site or find any specs on them probably because they haven't really hit the market yet. I'll have to keep checking and see if anyone's tried to get them into our door panels when they come out.

What is the maximum mounting depth in the coupe door panles anyway? The Koda is under 3". The Image Dynamics CX is 2.8". The RE from a picture looks pretty deep - definately over 3 inches - probably somewhere near 4 like lud said - not sure though.

RE XXX 6.5

WhiteRabbit

oop, almost forgot. if you are considering the ID chameleon series, you can think of them as more of an upper midbass driver, rather than a pure midbass driver. The ultimate low frequency response cant touch that of koda, DD, or some of the super SQ mids out there...

I might throw out CDT HD midwoofers as something ot keep an eye out for on a demo board. I dont know if they sell them seperately though, and they kinda retail for $450 for the whole set....

^^^ yeah CDT is a good choice for mid bass too. i actually have a set of CDT HD-62 (6.5" components) i bought with intent to install. but now i have almost 1k in unplanned bills to consider. if you want to go this route i can sell you these for about half of retail, and they only been hooked up to test/demonstrate, never installed in a car.

faultyscrew

^Hmmmm that's an option. They seems pretty good - how do they compare to the Koda as a pure/dedicated mid-bass driver? I forgot to even consider CDT when researching for a driver. I usually associate CDT with component sets and such and not as separate/dedicated drivers.

Would you be selling the entire component set or just the mid-bass drivers? I'm unsure of what I would do with the rest of the comp. set - just get back to me on some details and maybe some pictures if you have any?

You could prob fit some Illusion ND-8's in that door with a little cutting.

faultyscrew

^Nah - I'm trying to go for no modifications needed. Thanks for the suggestion though!

WhiteRabbit

its not possible to get any speaker in there with the front wave separated from the rear wave around the speaker directly without either a spacer, cutting the door, or both.

you can get away with a store bought spacer and no cutting if the motor is small.

but the hole is just too oddly shaped to get a seal with nothing

WhiteRabbit

and you CAN NOT fit the motor of a koda into the door without some minor cutting:




edit: that hole was made FOR a koda driver, and it fit beautifully with tons of window clearance with a 1" spacer.

no door panel modifications were needed. only the 1 inch spacer and that hole cut and hammered

faultyscrew

^I guess there no way around it - alomst everything I want to put in requires some type of modification - at least the Koda has only small modifications needed and has good window clearance. How much mods do you think the ID CX will need?

WhiteRabbit

same as the koda. Ive put a pair of those in a wrx, they have the same motor size and same 3 inch depth. no difference in installability from the koda whatsoever.

cdt woofer has 2.75" mounting depth needed, so not a ton better. but some

i'd rather sell the whole set because like you i don't have much of a need for the tweets, i'm going to use a set of koda tweets in my scaled back setup. but i'd consider parting it out i guess. never had koda mids so i can't compare them.

I have some spacers laying around somewhere. Now that I have kicks I don't run door speakers anymore.
