CSTMIZR Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Not bad......not bad at all. Did you router the underside of the floor panel for the plexi insert? Did you consider "flushing" the rear-deck grill? Very clean for DIY....... props . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you consider "flushing" the rear-deck grill? Very clean for DIY....... props . yes a router was used, flushing would have been a little more work but i thought it looked pretty good so on it went.... i did alot of the work myself but my friend tom came and added the finishing touches...

CSTMIZR Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Congrats Dude, It looks really nice, and I'm sure with the staging adjustment and deck vent it sounds kickass too. Keep on pimpin'.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Pioneer Premier TS-C720PRS. I had to use a 1" spacer, with the dynamat maybe 1.25" total. i took out some of the edges out behind the door panel to make sure it wouldnt hit the spkrs. (10 min of work) imo these sound amazing, review after review you hear nothing but good things about them. i looked at many spkrs and went with these, some people whore out certain spkrs on here and im not going to knock em but for $240 (ebay) these is the deal of a lifetime. i may end up buying 2-3 pairs to have for back up, maybe even do a set of 5.25" in the kicks... but thats my future plans. check out this review: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pio/pe/images/portal/cit_3424/383243804TS-C720PRS_camag_eprint.pdf not only that but on the diy audio forums member after member of very picky audio gurus love these. My installer is trying to do this now with ~1.25" spacing (3/4" spacer, 1/4" of caulk, 1/4 deadener) and the speaker is still hitting the bracket of the window. Did you have any issues with the woofer hitting the window? Did you have to trim any sheet metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucas569 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 no not at all, how deep is the speaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Same as yours. 720 PRS. Did you take the black plastic rear part of the basket off? What is hitting is the tab of window that stops the window at the top. See the shinny metal part in the attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucas569 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 take some (2 or 3) washers and shim the window slightly, its a 12mm nut to the right of the speaker, you have to position the speaker just right or the window will hit that spot. u can even take a die grinder and grind some of the basket off. its just a cover for the magnet... LOL we posted at the same time, glad u got it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feardaram Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 how much of a problem did you have getting the door panel back on? there doesnt seem to be much room between the sheet metal of the door and the panel (to use much of a spacer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucas569 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 not much, behind the door panel is some plastic that i trimmed by the speaker. if u dont trim it will hit the spkr sourround. that is very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItalynStylion Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Lucas....what is the mounting depth on those Pioneers? I did a search but I'm coming up with different numbers from different sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucas569 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 i cant recall exactly but from poineers site its 2-5/8" (67mm) they dont just drop in, you have to trim some of the plastic tabs off the door panel so it doesnt hit the speaker cone or hinder movement. then space it out about 1.25" AND remove or grind some of the basket (dont worry its just a cover for the magnet) so it doesnt hit the back of the window stop.

ItalynStylion Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Wow....i still can't believe that the doors are that shallow. I'm planning on throwing a pair of Peerless Exclusive mids or some ID OEM's in the doors once I get my LGT. I haven't really decided which ones I'm going to get but I have plenty of time for that. I've been looking at tweeters too and considering places for them. Unless I do some A pillar work I'm probably going to put them in the stock location and try to aim them at me. I'll be running an active system with time alignment so I'll be able to make some serious adjustments. I've been looking at the Seas Neo Aluminum tweeters. Their 30 degree off axis response looks good and I've heard great things about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ean611 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 ItalynStylion, in researching the ID speakers I found some stuff that you may find useful if you're going to do active crossovers. the XS65s DO NOT have a low pass filter on the woofer. I was speaking with one of the engineers there, so I found out some useful details such as that. The tweeter has a high pass filter, but I didn't ask where it was. I was more concerned if the speaker was worth $480 compared to the Z's I have. (I'm still not sure on that). Oh yeah, another tidbit from ID's engineer, they are best used coax. (the XS65 i mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
