Wow, I've never seen a printed template be used for mock-up. That's an excellent idea :thumbup:

Those should be very unobtrusive visually with those huge pillars. Looking good so far!
RS75 vs ND91... what led to your decision to go with the reference instead? Just curious :)
Re: Lanson's 2013 Ford Flex
Nevermind, just read your other thread. I can't argue that decision since it's based on keeping aesthetics where you want. By the looks of it, those should be very compact and should work out great for you.

There's more to the issue, which I'm sure you're aware of is the sensitivity. The Reference are lower inductance and also more efficient by 3dB. I realized that the ND91 is a beast and probably would work best in an array of two or more, to work well.
Re: Lanson's 2013 Ford Flex
You CAN use the ND91s in arrays because of their versatility, but they are great as a dedicated midrange as well. Either choice is a fine one though and I'm sure you'll like the RS75 as well.
Any idea on which midbass you're going to run?
Re: Lanson's 2013 Ford Flex
I'm almost 100% on going with the matching Reference 8".
There's a paper option now, and the old but good metal one. The metal one has a higher QTS in 4ohm form and metal, so I'm thinking that. I'd like to build a shape that fits the door like a pod, but I'm not 100% sure I can do that without resorting to fiberglass.
Here's the door (this is off my 2010 and before I did any deadening, but same shape)

I was thinking, first try them IB and seal the door up the best I can, and see how that sounds. And then if i need to, work on making a small sealed box somehow.
Re: Lanson's 2013 Ford Flex
I'd be more inclined to do paper in the midrange than the midbass so, yeah I would likely do the aluminum cone 8" RS225 with that setup as well. Should be easy to get them in those huge doors. Is that stock trim shape (on the outer plastic panel) measuring larger than the RS225's OD or would you have to cut and reshape that piece to fit? With a mounting depth under 3.75" you may be able to make a new stock baffle to mate to the door and still keep that driver well below the doorcard panel.
