I like big butts!
 

I know iknow. Some of you think that the rear speakers are waste of money. But hey, I like some rears. As I have the much needed sub, the only thing missing would be the read fill.

Could someone please share the maximum depth the rears could accommodate?

Thanks.

Are these 4"??? I dont know the depth? It would be nice to know this as well because I just ordered a Focal 4ch amp so I have to fill the rears now otherwise I will have to bridge the amp. Do you plan on going coax or just a mid or maybe even a comp?

I agree with you, Rear fill really does add alot of ambiance that would otherwise be missing.

I will tell you, you are not going to be able to fit 4" without alot of modification. Find a good set of 3-1/2" speakers and cross them as high as you can. At least 150 to 200Hz and 300Hz or 400Hz would be even better as you can apply more power to them.

I used a set of JL Audio CS series and they fit perfectly. I wanted to put a set of 4" focal polykevlar midrange speakers in there but they wouldnt fit. Depth does not seem to be an issue with speakers this size.

I wouldn't bother with a comp set. A good coaxial or just a midrange speaker will suffice for the proper effect. You are not going to hear bass or highs from them anyway.

I cannot lie.

I second that!:tup:

You other brothers can't deny.

that when a girl walks in with a itty bitsy waist and that round thing in your face

So when you see a young girl

:shakes head:

Is that wrong?

yezzir

So the JL's you used are 3.5" and fit the rears? These would be perfect for me.

Pls advise so I can order today. Thanks

You get sprung?

I have Dynaudio components which I believe are awesome for the Z. I also built two boxes of subs that fit behind the seats.

People are correct about just having highend fronts....after a while you can't tell the difference. In my case what I am trying to eliminate is the noticeable non-existence of the rear speakers the first 5 minutes of getting into the car.

:werd:

lol attempted hijack fail...

They are 3 inch and I have no idea abut what size will fit there just keep in mind you have to run new wires to them as their is none there. I still disagree with rears. especially with something so small.

.....my Anaconda ........

Some may not get it due to age. :)

i dont know how old everyone here is..but im 24..and i've been listening to that song since i was like 9 soo i think others would also know it.

if they don't know it then they need to :gtfo2:

Please stop cluttering up our baby got back thread with nonsense about rear speakers.

- the mgmnt

Yes, I used the JL Audio C2-350x Coaxials.

I do not know the song in question so do I have to gtfo? LOL

exactly.

if you're the audio guy you should know that song..its got alot of bass. good song to test bass on systems.

Update:

I ordered the Infinity Kapp Series 3.5"" Custom-Fit 2-way Loudspeakers for the rears. I installed them late last night. And........................

I AM THRILLED!

1. The 'void' is no longer there.
2. Front staging is still there.
3. My system is louder (I had to use a much lower volume setting).
4. There is no negative effect to the existing Dynaudio front components. In my opinion, the Kappas complemented them.
4. Did I say, I am thrilled!!!!!!!

Is it worth it to install rears? In my opinion, based on what I have heard from my system so far, YES!!!!!!

Note that this is post/thread was not meant as an argument; rather, similar to "beatury is to the eye of the beholder", "music is to ears of the beholder".

Now that I have the custom subwoofers, the upgraded front and rears, amps, etc. I think I am done with the stereo.

hummm... im not sure if i want a full range speaker in the rear... the void is at around550-650Hz, i think it was if i remember from the base's stock fronts.

if it was a mid-range speaker or if you disabled the tweeter (just cut the wire) on the coax i can understand.

I was thinking about disabling the tweeters. However it sounds great as-is!

Here is my summary so far:

before adding the rears, I felt like listening to the music/singer about 4 feet away. With the rears installed, I feel like they are directly in front of my face. Now, that's without adjusting the balance and fader.

I did play with disAbling the rears. And time after time, 4-speakers win!

Awesome. Glad you like it. What type of music do you normaly listenn to? I am trying to get a feel for how the system is performing and how long it is actually pushing the speakers.

Hmmm! That's going to be hard as I have been told I am a complex man. I listen to Yahoo's Top 100, Rap, Rock, old school band like Rolling Stone, Queen, recent artist like Eminen, Pdiddy, JayZ, Akon , vocals like Diana Krall, you name it. It just depends on what time of the day or night or what company I am with....

Heck, I am even a fan of Country music even though this music lacks bass that I always want.

One thing I know....I seldom listen to raege (sp?)


What do you you mean by 'pushing.....?'

I was trying to get a feel for how the system was performing with the music that you listen to. Hip-Hop tends to force a system to perform harder, unlike country or pop which don't normally demand as much output simultaneously. I am used to hearing systems with a lot of distortion, but that is usually from folks that just want to turn everything up. I love booming bass, but there has to be balance. And to have booming bass, you need power, space, and correct tuning for it to sound good.:tup:

I do have a giant 1000-watt, very low THD, PPI amp powering the Dynos and the 2 long throw TangBand subs.....just in case you are wondering about my power.

Nice. Sounds like a pretty good setup. I can't wait to get back to the States soI can pick up my car and start installing goodies.
