First, I am a new owner of some RF3II and I really love them. I'm no audiophile, but I think they sound great!! I also have some low-end synergy center and surrounds, but even though they are the cheapest Klipsh makes, the surrounds sounded good enough to play at a BBQ while my RF3's were being delivered. So there you have it.
The reason I am posting is this. (this may be blasphemous for home audio purists, so read with caution) I just bought a new (used) car, and I have transferred all the car audio equipment over from my old car, except the front speakers, because they got damaged in an accident. I have torn out the POS BOSE stock system, and thought it would be fun to put some Klipsch drivers in the door panels and a tweater in the kick panels.
So these are my questions so far:
1) Can I buy just replacement speakers (w/o) the enclosures? 6.5" would be the best fit, so maybe the K-1078-SB from the SF-2. what would the approx cost be?
2) in speakers where there are two drivers, is each driver 8ohms, or are they 4 ohms wired in series, or something else? If they were 8 ohms, i could put two in to get 4 ohms for car audio
3) would these drivers work in a sealed enclosure as opposed to the ported enclosure in most Klipsch setups? I don't need the base, because I have a sub, and sealed enclosures are usually smaller than ported.
4) are there any other thoughts on this?
I know doing this would be a lot of extra work, but it would be more fun that buying some MB Quart Q series for $700 and just sticking them in my car.
Thanks in advance for any input
Andrew
