MurdocGTP Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have tried searching the forum for reviews and there is a mixed bag for feedback. Most reviews say the component set is decent. The midbass drivers perform really well but the tweeter is mediocre. I mentioned in another post that I am going to get the SAX125.4 with a couple of 8's on the rear. Am i going to get a good sound environment running the 6.5CS on the front stage? Or would i be better off spending an extra 100-150.00 on something like a tempo 6 or unity 6.5 or ID 6.5? Another option i was presented was getting the Neopro 6.5's and buying a tweeter/XO separate. Anyone try this approach?

MurdocGTP Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 The main theme of my post was the tweeters but how does the mid bass compare between the neo's and the component drivers? Would i get more mid out of the neo's? I was talking to a guy that is running the HAT tweeters with the Neo 6.5's and says the combo rocks. The only issue is trying to find a set of tweeters with passive xo'ers.

MurdocGTP Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Fair enough. Thanks for the feedback. I am just trying to get my head around it.

sundownz Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I am convinced many people judge the tweeter by it's appearance; I am very picky about my tweeters and I think it's a great tweeter (not just good) -- easily one of my favorites on a set under $300 or so. I would run them in my own car any day. Objectively it has a very flat response curve -- unless someone doesn't like a flat response and prefers a sharp sound they would most likely enjoy it. Response is excellent on-axis and 30 / 60 degrees off-axis.

MurdocGTP Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 It does say alot for you (the owner) to be passionate about your product and provide feedback. Judging is actually the one thing I can't do. I am not able to hear them so I am relying completely on people that have/had them installed. The closest dealer, Seductive Sounds, is 4 hrs away. Stephen has been great and provided tons of info and I realize there are so many factors that have an impact on the sound (ie amplifier, car interior, music genre etc) that it's impossible to make a decision based solely on opinions. I guess I just have to make a decision and go with it.
