    With such a large delta in efficiency between the woofer and tweeter of those drivers, how would a guy balance the output?
    Simply throw a lot more power at the woofer (or less at the tweet)?
    Those actually look like they would be a great candidate for pillar/dash mounting.

    I generally do it with either the gains, the DSP or a combination of the two. It mostly depends on which way results in the lowest noise floor.

    Got the urge to upgrade so I went to a friends shop and got a good deal on a pair of Focal 25kx subs and their dsp with remote. Also got a Raven 12xl to replace my computer sub for a deal too good to pass up.

    Re: '98 C5 build

    I'm looking forward to trying the Raven. It will replace a B&W asw610 which for the $30 I paid for it at a thrift store sounds pretty good already. Going to do the car enclosure first so it may be a bit before I get around to it.

    Pulled the mag and threw a temporary enclosure in while I rework the enclosure, night and day difference how much better the JBL sounds compared to the mag even with half the power going to it.

    Got the subs in. Going to rebuild the enclosure at some point to get rid of the ugly adapter plate but it works for now.
