I've had them. They're definitely not worth the money. They're usually around $100 or so new, and at that price, there's a tonne of better options out there. There's just no clarity and definition to them, they sound really muddied. I was just reading on another threat that for that price...

Congrats on the upgrade! Never heard the CK-S60A myself, but I've had two pairs of the CL-61A and they were great for the money. At $108, they're unbeatable.

At that price point, you definitely want to check out CDT Audio's HD-62. Honestly, I've never heard those MB Quarts, but I've read extremely good reviews of the HD series. I have the EF series myself, EF-51s, sold to me by djdilliondon, a member of this board, and they're very impressive...

Today, I received my beloved new components: CDT EF-51 with the upgraded DRT-26 aluminum tweeter. Bought them from djdilliodon (Island Sound in NYC) for $245 shipped to Canada! Shipping was quick (one week), and the components are amazing! Quite an upgrade over the MB Quart Discus (DSF-213)...

The CDTs, as most good comp sets, only sing if you give them decent power. I feed mine 70 W and they sound fantabulous. Your distorsion is no doubt head unit-related.

I've got an MTX Thunder6304 powering my CDTs and they sing beautifully. Got it off eBay brand new for a lil less than $100 U.S., and the birthsheet says 67 W x 4. This is my second MTX amp, I used to have a Thunder4244, and I recommend them highly. They usually underestimate their amps'...

Just had my car stolen a month ago and entirely rebuilt my system like so: Head unit: Eclipse CD3414 Front speakers: CDT CL-61T Rear speakers: None Amplifier: MTX Thunder6304 Subwoofer: Pioneer TS-W255C

FYI all, this is an e-mail that I got from Eclipse in response to my query about their HUs playing at more than 128 kbps: "Hello Jean, This is true depending on the head unit some of our head unit will not guarantee play over a 128kbps. Thank you for taking the time to writing to Eclipse and...

Thanks! Yeah, I know, only Sony and Panasonic that I know of seem to have that feature, that when you're in random mode and you skip a song, it skips to the next random song. I know that on Alpine and Pioneer models, it also skips to the next song and not the next random song...annoying indeed.

I'm considering the purchase of either an Eclipse CD3403 or CD3414 head unit. I've been reading conflicting information about whether or not you could play MP3s encoded above the 128kbps bitrate - does anyone know whether or not this is the case? Can you play VBR (variable bitrate) MP3s as...

I recently purchased a Pioneer DEH-P4500MP but am having second thoughts as I can still return it. I am considering either the Eclipse CD3414 or an Alpine CDA-9827, but I'm missing one piece of info: Does anyone know whether Eclipse decks have a random feature and, if so, can you limit the...

Indeed it is. ALARM SYSTEMS FOR EVERYONE! Mine's getting one, anyway. Though my insurance adjuster has been of good counsel through all this. He says to, yes, get an alarm system, though not a great or too expensive one, because thieves can foil almost any alarm. He says something like...

Hi all, As part of the upgrading process following the theft of my original system, I've switched subwoofers, going from a Pioneer TS-W29C to a TS-W255C. This new one has greater power handling and, from what I've heard, is just a better sub. Sounddomain.com says the TS-W255C can use a sealed...

So that my friends in Canada don't think that I've robbed people, those prices were in U.S. currency... But I think I did well, though I'm not all-knowing in car audio...

Hi everyone, To my absolute dismay, I stepped out of my house last Monday morning only to find that my beloved Integra had vanished. Luckily it was found 12 hours later, but stripped of my no-less-beloved system, as well as anything else that was worth anything. But at least the car's back...
