stipek Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 So I've been researching for sometime and now my brain is mush so if I could get some advice on what would work best for me in what I'm looking for and the equipment I have. Equipment: Sony Dsx-s200x HU has 7 band parametric eq, listening position, Hifonics Zeus zrx1000.4 amp (125w x 4 rms) Drivers will be factory location in doors and tweeters in the a-pillar. This is not entirely sq or meant for competition reasons however sq is what I'm looking for otherwise I would just buy something and not care. My choices for 6.5 comp sets in $250-$400 range: JL c5-650 $325 Focal 165 VB $249 or maybe 165 V30 $429 Morel dotech ovation $372 HAT Unity. $399 CDT hd62 $298 or cl 62pro $278 (don't know too much about CDT so others suggestions are welcome) I heard JL and they sound nice but remind me of Bose where you turn it up and it gets loud but you don't really "feel" the music if that makes sense. Maybe the midbass is lacking.

Omega5002 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 JL don't make very good components, even the ZR set(heard in 2 different vehicles), in my personal opinion, but I've heard good things about Focal, and Morel 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stipek Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah I made the mistake of buying it for the power but we will see. I may end up getting something different. Originally was going to run hertz hi energy but got hosed with a fake set. Lesson learned.

stipek Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I was looking at the cdt cl62 pro cuz on their site it says to NEVER put your main tweeter in the a pillar and these have 2 sets of tweets so I could put 1 in the door too. Anyone confirm this is truly a no no.

Omega5002 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I don't see why not, a lot of sq enthusiasts put their tweeters on the a-pillars since it's the best spot for them. Maybe CDT says that cause the sun could hurt them or something. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stipek Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think the morel ovations I found may be the best value. Used but a good price. Not to get off topic but any amp suggestions for these comp choices at say around $200 - $300 Headunit - Sony DSX-200X Subs - (2) Modified American Bass 18's Monoamp - DD M4 Front Stage - CDT HD62-AS components with 4 Crescendo PWX 6.5 4 Channel Amp - Hifonics ZRX1000.4 Cadence 0 gauge Singer 275 amp Alt D7500 XS Power battery Quad 1/0 input Toolmaker terminals SMD OM-1 RGB LEDs BUILD LOG CURRENT ABOVE SETUP http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/191602-2003-bravada-2-18s-ab-dd-xs-singer/ BUILD LOG (2 MTX 7512's)http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigancapri92 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Cdt has two types of tweeters main tweeter which is soft and has lots of range to fill that sound band and they have there upstage tweeters for the a pillars for imaging ... they say to keep the main tweeter as close as possible to the mid range to keep the sound close together so all the sound is in one place and not scattered Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
