TheSundownFire Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 DD germans it is then... I can't get a hold of hertz, rainbow, or really anything else that I want to hear:/ Thanks for the input everybody! The problem youre going to have is that most average audio people arent going to be running a $300 or more front stage. Its going to be doubly difficult to find Rainbow since theres only a handful of dealers in the US. I know mine came through a dealer in Jersey and Im in Ohio. So it was kind of a leap of faith that totally paid off. 1999 Pontiac Sunfire Alpine CDA-9886 Sundown Audio SAZ-1000D Sundown Audio SAX-50.4 Rainbow SAC 265.25 Components Image Dynamics iD12 Optima Yellow Top SQFire FTW.

Its weird walking into a store like- "I want the best sounding components you can get, regardless of the price" and the salesman says... "Well I can do around 140 for these Kenwood excelon components, or we can order you some infinity Kappa's. Like wtf lol Kenwood DDX 514 DD M3a DD 9512G RF 600.4 RF power series 6x8s lots of zero ga.

My local "audio shop" told me that they wouldnt stock Focal because no one would pay the money for them. I guess thats pretty accurate. 1999 Pontiac Sunfire Alpine CDA-9886 Sundown Audio SAZ-1000D Sundown Audio SAX-50.4 Rainbow SAC 265.25 Components Image Dynamics iD12 Optima Yellow Top SQFire FTW.

My local "audio shop" told me that they wouldnt stock Focal because no one would pay the money for them. I guess thats pretty accurate. Yeah but you think they'd at least be able to order some... lol North Olmsted Performance is a Hertz dealer and they are in Cleveland, Oh IIRC, if you really wanna here or purchase a set it may very well be worth the drive. Hm... I'll look into it. Even though I'm pretty set on DDs just for shear convenience and cost. Kenwood DDX 514 DD M3a DD 9512G RF 600.4 RF power series 6x8s lots of zero ga.

CHEMMINS Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I am putting morels in my ride. Hybrid Ovations and Elates. I haven't really ever heard anything bad about morels, except maybe that they don't have enough timbre for some. That they are too warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith2 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Not sure if your still looking for suggestions but I liked my hertz, for a week. Then the individual cross overs blew on all the tweets. Got them replaced and haven't tried them again. I'm thinking I had the HPF to high and they tried to pull to much. They really did sound good for that one week though. So I would also recommend hertz but maybe the one level up from entry, you should be in your price range, have great sound, and a real cross over, not the individuals. 2001 BMW 525i 12'' MTX Thunder 9500 Alpine mrp-m1000 Focal mids/highs Alpine mrp-f300 Build thread to come in a couple weeks after I source some more stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdubs Posted September 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 There's been a crap ton of input on this thread... thanks guys:) Still haven't purchased the speakers, college is pretty freaking expensive. I'm thinking I'm gonna buy the focal xs speakers for my computer before new door speakers. I've contacted Morel via email and I'm waiting on prices. Focal, Hertz, DD and Morel. Decisions, decisions. Can anybody on here hook me up? Dealers or whatnot? or is that against policy or something... Kenwood DDX 514 DD M3a DD 9512G RF 600.4 RF power series 6x8s lots of zero ga.
