Component speakers where you have the option to mount the tweeter coaxially, or directly over the mid usually utilizing a bracket attached to the basket or a pole scewed into the center of the speaker. You get the quality of a comp set without having to cut holes in your interior. Plus, many say...

I have it narrowed down to: Polk SR6500 Cerwin Vega V-Max 65 Image Dynamics XS-65 Any other convertibles I'm missing? I am an SQ guy. I listen to EVERYTHING from classical to metal, folk to electronica. Would like a speaker set that can handle it all. They will be powered by an Alpine...

Can you adjust the angle of the tweet when mounted coaxially or is it static?

Looking for 6.5 comps for a small car…2002 Saturn SL1. I am partial to the convertible/braxial type comps because I would rather not cut up my interior and many on this forum (and others) say imaging is better when the tweet is close to the mid…plus my cabin is short, so I don’t know how much I...

What are the best "convertible" comps, where you have the option of mounting the tweeter coaxially? What's the best bang for the buck set? Would like to stay under $500. Would feed them with 100-150 watts. I have a 2002 Saturn SL1 with a pair of Polk DB675 coaxials. Will I hear noticeable sound...

I understand the this set comes with titanium cal25 tweeters. I have heard many harsh sounding metal tweeters in the past. How do these compare? Is the cal25 smoother than most metal tweeters? How does it compare to the cal25 silk tweeter in the SL 265 line?

Thanks for the reply! So you think dual IDQ12s might get me what I'm looking for? Sealed or ported? One chamber or two? Which direction would you fire them? To the rear? Up through the back deck speaker holes and off the glass? I tried to check out your Saturn setup but the photo links are dead.

I have a 2002 Saturn SL1 and am looking to find out my options for bass. I am an SQ listener, but I also like to feel enveloped in the sound. I am looking for accuracy across the whole frequency range. I listen to everything from metal to country to classical to rap to jazz…you name it, I’ve got...

I am about to pull the trigger on some Rainbow CMX 256 Kicks. I have a Premiere 880PRS HU and an Orion 4004 (50x4, 150x2-bridged). So far, have had no problem with the HU. I am debating whether or not to go active (2-way). If I understand correctly, in order to take full advantage of the time...

Thanks for the replies. I would not mind going as high as $300 if it would really make my sub shine. I Just want to get all I can out of the IDQ while not taxing the alternator. Would you run that VIper at 4ohm or 1ohm? Rated Power @ 4 ohm: 275 x 1 Rated Power @ 2 ohm: 400 x 1 Rated Power @...

I need an amp to push my IDQ12 D2.V2 (sub) in a Q-Logic QLH-1.0012 (1.0 cubic feet) sealed enclosure. I have been using my old Lightning Bolt B2.300.2 (bridged) but it's very floppy. Upper range sounds awful. I have to cross it at below 60 just to make it listenable. I need something that is...

Thanks for the replies. I figured I would take it on the chin for the lightning. I bought this amp years ago for my first setup and I thought I might be able to get away with it because IDQs are known to function well on mid to low power. But the combination is not working. Bass is flopping all...

Hello. I am a first time poster, long time lurker who is looking for some components. As you can see from my signature, I am in desperate need of your help. My current setup sounds like complete and utter crap. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that the doors have no deadening (that...
