I really wanted the 110's but not available for some time, the 130s are just to big so decided to try the 108's as I could get them right away, thanks to npdangdaman:):)
The car has no interior, no dash, no headliner, carpet, etc, etc, the doors are mostly done now but very reflective, installed the mids last night anyway.
No time to work on the kicks for the 4.5's and the 108's so just hung the 108's on the A pillars and layed some ensolite across the opened up dash area.
No time to hook up an amp so used the deck power, 8443, active 24db, 2.5khz crossover, 63 to the sub at 24hz as well.
Threw some ensolite around the car, floors, etc, to at least smooth things out a bit, this is the worst audition setup I have ever had to use but we had a show to attend today. It was a small event so really not a big deal that we won 4 trophies, lol!
Anyway, these are the finest tweeters I have owned since my Rainbow References and I really wish I could do a proper A/B, been to long to just guess but these things are good enough to go up against them and do a fine job I have no doubt, which is best? No idea, both are incredibly good.
I still have to try out the 110's when I can though;)
The Seas midbasses really did well, no time to EQ so just dropped 315hz as bit as I would normally end up doing, very dynamic and punchy midbass, again off the HU power!
I was listening to one of the ISACA tracks as had alot of changes to do for the SQ judging and was not quite done when he poped in and after ten seconds or so, said, wow! You win SQ right now, lol! Then I told him I was not even done setting it up and running on HU power and he about crapped himself.
Anyway, this was just a little comp we threw some gear into the car to make it to and had a great time, demoed the system to a few guys that are asking "where can I buy those tweeters?" etc, of course I told them:):)
After owing the Rainbow Refs(properly installed and tuned) and hearing many world class systems, judging ten top cars one day a few years ago, etc, I can honestly say this is the first time I have truely fallen in love with some speakers again.
