The type R subs are a great value, one of the best. But if you're wanting great SQ, that's not the direction you should go. Wish I learned of them sooner, but they're marketing in the U.S. is terrible, and the amounts of retailers is just as bad. Hertz, and Audison which are essentially the same...

Currently using a JL XD500 to power the Hertz HSK 165's and the Hertz HX250D. It doesn't provide enough to drive the sub to its potential. So pleased with the Hertz after only learning about them a few months ago that I ordered a pair of Audison AV6 components. As I understand they're...

How's it going fellas? Have been very impressed with the Hertz HSK 165's I put in the front. Just ordered a pair of Audison (same company essentially, they're both under Elettromedia) AV6 components. They appear to be pretty much the same speaker performance wise, but would any of you...

Have a 10' Alpine SWS D2 that I'm using with a rectangle shape box I built. Thought it'd be best to do a simple build for the car before I do the dual opposing driver enclosure that I want to build for the house. The volume of the box is 1.5 cubic feet, (11.5 x 15.5 x 19) which is a little...

Found a set of HSK from an international Ebay seller at a very good price. With the talk of fakes I would normally dismiss a seller like this immediately, but he's sold over 70k items with a 99% positive feedback, and accepts returns. Would you guys order from a seller in Europe like him?

The specs don't show a significant difference between the two lines, yet the HSK is in another stratosphere per everyone I've heard make comparisons of the two.

Evening Gentleman Got a pair of Hertz ML 1600 to put in the front doors. Only got the woofers as the complete 2 way set was more than I wanted to spend as well as already having a pair of tweeters. Have a set of KEF Uni-Q tweeters that I want to use with the Hertz, but if the installation is...

Deciding between these 2 models by Hertz since eliminating Focal due to the tweeters. Would like to purchase the MLK 1650.3 yet only at the price I've seen them for across Europe, particularly Italy & Germany, but having difficulty with communication on shipments to the U.S. the ML 165 is...

Those look good. Does it take just 1 screw to mount them to the panel? Really would like something similar to the those. Only exception being I'd try to mount without the grill cover. Really like the look of the tangerine wave guide. If I were to use the 15 watts RMS provided by the head unit...

How's it going gentlemen Trying to figure out a way to use a pair of tweeters I have, just not sure how to mount them. The picture I took of them was too large to upload. They're pictured in the link below. It's listed as a 1 inch tweeter but measures 1 14/16 around tweeter, and is 2.5 inches...

Outside of of a demo or listening to a friends the test bench on sites like Audioholics, & Stereophile are the best resource I've found for home audio product comparison. I've yet to find one for car audio. On home audio/theater there are a large # of companies most have never heard of that...

Learned that a law allows the companies a loophole to give bs wattage ratings, but was under the impression that the physical specs such as voice coil measurements, xmax, etc were legit. The only way I could see them using inaccurate ranges is if they're allowed to measure them with sine waves...

What amp are u using? Sundown is a good choice, if your amp provides sufficient power you should be very pleased. Let us know when you've had a chance to break the sub in. What are you setting the crossover at for the sub? Any of you guys using Focal subs? Noticed something in the specs on...

How's it going fellas Looking at component speakers to buy now that I know the 6.5 adapters will work. Thought of a better idea on the speakers opposed to buying new ones. Have some KEF 6.5 drivers I can put in the front, and purchased the Uni-Q tweeter (link below) for a future build. Would...

Apologies for late reply, had family fly in unannounced. Based on what you've told me I recommend the JL Audio 10w6v2. You can get a used one for 200 that would allow returns as well. Have a feeling you went with Sundown which is a good quality sub. Know their transition to the home audio...
