your three speakers will be facing three separate directions which would be hard to tune,go with the 6 in the door and a 4 and a tweet in the a pillar (3 way comps) and you'll be ok.

^^^why would it be hard to tune??

cus the 4 would be facing the seats and you'll be losing some of the tones that the other speakers would not have picked up or in lay man's term ,you would not be hearing the full tones of the 4 inch.

to the OP, the simplest thing is to go with a QUALITY 2 way comp setup.

if you chose a more challenging route....a 3way kit with the midrange woofer mounted in the kickpanel would be the best option.

set ur budget and get the best in you price range, but keep in mind the 3way kit costs more...

what are you looking to get out of the system?

you have to know what you looking for in your system... as roger said eg. imaging, staging etc.. or large amounts of midbass or sub bass....try midrange kicks.....

one more ting if i using the 3way comp set up to the front do i still have to put a sub in d trunk

roger · Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 12:58 pm Post subject:

yes..it would defintely help.

the c36 based on my experience is most comfortable when high passed at about 63hz on at least a 12db slope....so you will need something to effectively fill the subbass region below that 60hz.

please post here if you have more questions. there are some other dls uses who can chime in with advise as well.

ok guy, looking forward to the build pics.

please do your research on proper custom kick panel construction, if you are headed in that direction for your midrange mounting location.
