for now it's done, As far as sub goes. I've changed out tweeters and mids. I'll post some pictures up.

comparing the id8 and sa8, the sa8 is a lot bigger but you can't beat the sound of the id8 for it's size it's also pretty loud. Just wish i could fit 2!

this tweeter:

Morel MDT 12 1-1/8" Neodymium Tweeter | morel neodymium compact dome last_chance_save_green | Parts-Express.com

this mid:

Tang Band W6-1139SI 6-1/2" Subwoofer | subwoofer 6" subwoofer neodynium subwoofer tangband tb speakers tangband-22008 | Parts-Express.com

but will soon change out the mid, due to me crossing at 1.7khz, the mid cant take the power it would handle and tends to break up at higher volume.

Got myself some new mids!:

Here are the specs on them:

here is the old mid and i will soon be changing it out, I also have another tweeter i might try out maybe in the future, for now the morel is staying

I also forgot to post that the mids are in apriodec enclosures, they used to be sealed:

and here is the old tweeter/new tweeter

SO i thought the mids would be a simple 20min max installation, but no. Made new mounting rings and am waiting for resin to dry to so i cant paint them.

Here are some pics of the old/new:

Modifying my enclosures:

Dont think you heard the morel tweeter or tang band mid but now that mid is out, this new one is a lot louder and more efficient.
