I really want these!

I really want these but have no where to put them in the Audi

Mmmmm

Would they go with minor modifications into the back panels of a coupe as i am looking at some new ones and dont know what to get.

[Fat Audi 80]

Probably, but something like that is wasted on rear seat passengers. They really need fitting into nice door builds up front.

Can you see me cutting my OEM door cards up though?

Cheers,

If they have the freq range of 30Hz-25kHz then i love 3B's

Can't see a 17cm speaker going below 55 hz, sub area that.

Bloody nice speakers though, Fatty consider some OEM+ door builds

The only way I would consider it, is if someone came along with some secondhand anthracite and carbon door trims for me to cut up and install leaving my original ones to go back in at a later date.

Some how I think I could wait a long time for those to come up on ebay - hey Bry?

No reason for them not to down to 30 Hz if a 10" sub can to 28 Hz. I don't think kenwood can afford to make up specs.

I stand to be corrected...

I believe they can get to 55 but i can't see them going down to 30HZ!

[Fat Audi 80]

I meant to say 30 but typed 55 Doh.

Like I say I doubt Kenwood would have dodgy stats.

Buy some and test them and let me know!

Cheers,

Steve.

just because it can move at 30Hz, doesn't mean it can perform well at that frequency. It could well be that, like so many other speakers they only start to play flat at 80Hz+.

......... and they're still just kenwood Don't they make blenders?

[Rusty]

They look pretty decent but ultimately are made by Kenwood an as pointed out above, the excursion at 30Hz required to produce any useful amount of sound isn't going to come from a 6.5" speaker!

Definitely suggest getting a set of spare door cars and fit them (or something similar)in. I'm going active in the summer with the Jamo approved DKC-108 dash mount and a pair of JBL power 6.5" midbass (if I can fit them in).

[Jamo]

Go for the RKC-110 in the dash, i love the 108 but it's a 3.5 inch speaker and i was basically using them as tweeters as i had nothing below 1khz going to them.

Some of my friends kept telling me that, after I was talked into buying a Kenwood amp.

[Fat Audi 80]

Point taken regarding the excursion at 30hz, but If i ran that speaker it would be filtered above 80 - 100 Hz anyway, and I would run the sub from 100 Hz downwards.

I think you will find if you listen to my system it sounds the nuts and is all:

[Fat Audi 80]

I need to sit in an S2 with 6.5" door speakers next to my car to convince me that I actually NEED to go to the trouble. How much difference will it make.

I am happy to be proved wrong.

Who wants to take the Pepsi challenge?

[s2_southwest]

Fat, i have just bought a pair of these brand new for £150 ish.

I have having custom rear quarter cards made and they will go in there.

I will post some pics foryou when they are done. Should be end of this week. They are beautiful speakers
