Loud, But SQ? **need advice**


Lab audio

Recommended Posts

One set of comps won't easily keep up with 2 15"s that can hit 150 db IMO.

You may need 2 sets and turn the bass down if you wan to hear the mids & highs clearly.

Look at the pro audio speakers, but don't go cheap if you want them to sound good !

I'd look at some JBL speakers, or other high end ones. I don't know how the Crescendo sounds, but......I doubt they can be on the SQ side !

You may need some processing if you run separate tweeters and mids.

I was just stating some that get loud,....and sound ok doing it....

You really think he wants true sound quality???????? Come on....

JBL pro audio speakers sounds good if set right, and are loud too.

But you're right, he just wants LOUD !!!

My image dynamic horns keep up with my wall and have pretty good sq to boot. You're looking at 400 just for the lenses and compression drivers though. You will spend that much for a couple good comp sets so it evens itself out. They mount under the dash so all you need is a 8 or 10 inch pro audio midbass and you are in business.

Good news is they are so efficient you only need like 30-60 watts. The 10 inch in the doors are on 240 watts. Only four speakers in my frontstage. Even with moderate tuning from a clarion eq these things kick ass.

A single high end PA 8in in each front door and HLCD's under the dash would do it. No need for rears

On the note of "keeping up" my Polk mm6.5 comp sets keep up fine with 2 12's on 2.5k.... That being said if I was much louder I think I would need more. Pro audio or 2+ comp sets up front would be needed to hear things clearly over that much bass IMO

Pionner d class components. The over sized 6.5. Two sets of those will run you $200 for both sets. Fiberglass them in ur doors correctly (sealed) run about 125 watts at 4 ohms to each speaker/tweeter combo and it'll keep up.

You don't need pro audio to be heard at 148-152db's.
