Anybody know how these will sound in a sealed enclosure? I havn't found any T/S parameters. I don't need to play below 90HZ. There will be 6 sets in the car so I'm not worried about max output/efficiency. Maybe fill with polyfill or cut out the back holes in the back of the pods?

    Posted it for you.

    Nice looking panel. Adding polyfill will make the speakers sound as if they're in a bigger enclosure btw, and if you don't need them playing anything lower than a specific freq I'd say just use your HU or amp's built-in XO :)

    Good luck with phase and cancellation issues. Do you really need 12 mids plus tweets in a car?

    Thanks for posting the pic! I need to know what the mids will sound like in a sealed enclosure. I have used them in a free air application, just like everyone else with a speaker in a car door but I would like know what the difference in sound will be. Anybody know from first hand experience? All the speakers will be amped over 100rms, and yes, I do need all 12 mids, 12 tweeters, 2 sealed 10" in the seats, a ported 15", and over 17 T.V.s. That's what I find fun to build and see in action :)

    I'm picturing a disco inferno school bus with a psychedelic paint job. Pass it around dude.

    Might get better results at the smd forums. You'd fit right in.

    I'm a member of SMD, have been for a long while. Only problem there is, nobody uses Polk. Seeing as I am using Polk products and there are people here that also use/like Polk products I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask my question.

    vas close to 0.5cu ft would be my guess just by comparing other 6 1/2" drivers. Best i can do dude.

    I'm a member of smd as well Monkey. Wasn't meant as a bashing. Some of those guys are really knowledgeable. You're right in that they aren't into Polk now. But a lot of them have used Polks.

    Do you know the rough volume of the sealed enclosure? Did you notice any difference in how loud they are after?

    I forgot the exact size, but it was around .3. Tbh, I didn't see any perceivable difference in volume.

    Look at people's builds. I have never done it before but I've been an SMD member for years so I've seen some very talented people fabricate amazing things. I just planned and executed. Step by step. Take it slow and TEST FIT. For the love of god Test Fit.
