I love alwayses and nevers... The bed of a pickup truck is purposely isolated from the cab where the shock sensor is, so the only way to get good bed coverage is with a second shock sensor - behind the taillight, for example. But properly installed shock sensors do actually work if you expect...

I took out the Alpine SPX-F13Ms in the Acura TSX and replaced them with DLS UP6 comps. These have a 6.5" mid with a 2"voice coil and a neo-hybrid bagnet structure - so they fit where the Alpine SPX-F17M's hadn't a prayer of fitting. They are installed with mating spacers that mimic the OEM...

The DLS tweets are all silk domes above like $150 MSRP. The tweeters have a rear tuned chamber like the Scan-Speaks so that they have an ultra-low Fs, allowing them to go down and meet the woofer well. Of course, if they thought the two-way was perfect, they probably wouldn't make a kit with a...

I have not had any problems and I have been selling these for a while, but I would NEVER buy a refurb of anything. That simply means that they THINK they fixed it, but if they were sure, it would have the "new" warranty - which it doesn't have.

Because "rear fill" is a Communist plot designed to weaken America?

My CR-V has been running a set of MB Quart 6.5 coaxials with the Musicomp upgraded xovers for about 5 years. In 2000 I installed a Nak CD-40, an Alpine 50x4 so old it's black and has an 80 Hz LP/HP switch : ), and a JL 10W0 Stealthbox along with them. I've decided to start upograding the system...

Yes, 6x9's do **** ass, pretty much. They're jkust loud, not good. I try to only use 6x9 woofers in my systems if I can't have a sub box in the install.

Well, depending on the year LC you ahve, I think they used a Pana speaker with a neo magnet that is ultra.small - so you may be physically limited. Kenwood has a set of "higher"-end speaks with the neo mags that sound very good for KW and very good for a speaker that will fit there. If you...

They are optimized for infinite baffle, and I suspect that they are tuned too high in this box, and that the port is too small to accomodate the amount of travel the MBQ has, which will cause the port to compress the air going through it at high volumes, and compressing the volume output at...

Isn't that the door that people are cutting the OEM driver frame struts out of the spacer, and mounting 5-1/4" 's in?

Louder? Why would you buy these if you were worried about which one was louder? I think that properly installed the DLS will have more midbass, but your installation has much more to do with the midbass performance of either driver, than the difference between these two good drivers will have...

The T-taps are not part of the CE light problem. However, they may have forgotten the 2nd accessory as has been said, and they also may have wired their own StK relay and made a three-wire bridge on the relay that makes warning lights come on. Bottom line - Consumer Reports says an alarm can...

Are you LOOKING for a three-way kit? If so, check out the DLS and others - skip AB. Three-way passives are hard to design and I have no reason to think AB spent any time or money on making a good one. Your amp power is fine - don't confuse power handling with efficiency. Or AB power ratings...

Well, since you're on a forum... I'm going to suggest a different approach. Get less parts, but better parts. Those amps are not that good, the subs really aren't either, and the C6's aren't much of a DLS setup. When someone said lower end DLS, I don't think they meant the Classics (maybe...) at...

Morel Israel is the driver maker... Morel USA has some weird grandfather right to sell some spekaers in this dountry with the name, and some are "Morel" and some seem to not be... anyway, Morel the real company is pretty obvi by their website.
