Pretty decent tuning capabilities for the price also. Might have to look into one of these for my daily driver Thanks, i try to do my research and on a $100 budget i thought this would do well. Considering i am upgrading a late 90's SuperTuner 3 it will be a night and day difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwking Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 shame the CTs didnt sound great. those were the strato line right? I know one of my meso sets sounded brilliant off of Alpine HU power. now if only i could get a response from them on when the AT200.4 will ship so i can test the on amp power...

bcbrassard Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 NO Vids guys sorry. Really kinda of a pain in the ass. I did more testing today and i prefer the speakers with woven or paper cones over the Plastic type. The sound is so natural from the Focal, JBL, and even the Faital Pro's. So i had to hook up the Focal crossover and tweeter to get the whole affect and holy shit these are the Best. Super clean and natural sounding these will really shine in the Malibu. So i ditched the CT crossover and used a FR T2 65 comp crossover and it really made the CT 5.25" speaker sound a lot better. I even ran the 4" Faital Pro with the CT tweeter and that combo sounded real nice too. Not as good as the Focal but a close second or tie with the JBL's. I will not be using the CT sounds crossovers at this point. Testing speakers with different type of music trying to test there range. Higher end ones keep shinning in all categories. Where the lower end speakers sound ok on rock, rap,and dance they fall short playing Eagles, Styx and Foreigner, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcbrassard Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I got the stereo adapter harness and FAST RING kit in today. I plan to solder it up after dinner. Wish my Tesa tape was here. Ordered some off amazon and waiting for that and 5.25" FAST RING set to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoundguy Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 So what would be your opinion on running the JBL 4" speakers in the kick on their own channels on 75W @ 4 ohms power? I was thinking this might be a good option for my kick panels in my truck since they have a 1 15/16 mounting depth. Can you do me a favor and measure that the depth would be from the rear mounting ring on the JBL's?

bcbrassard Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 They are 1 7/8" and i don't think you want a small coax at your feet. Its a solid mid-range, tweeter driver for up high in a stage imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcbrassard Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 So i got called up to work for the week. So build takes another delay but hard to turn down $1300+ dollars for a few days work. Plus Vegas is a moth away so some gambling $ would be good. I set up my testing area to try the 5.25 for midbass with the 4" & tweeters taking care of the mids & highs. Sounded pretty good for left & right side play like that. Might take the time to wire everything up correctly using all the speakers i intend to use on this build to see how it will work. Just this temp set up sounded pretty good. Oh, the box with the blue led on is a small converter to run the HU for testing. 5 Amp, 60 watt off amazon for $12. I love the FAST RINGS advertising...... The Right way...... Well worth the $50 and i got sets for 5.25" & 6.5" Speakers for which ever way i go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
