I myself own a Kenwood KDC-X679 having changed over from the Kenwood 825. I really really like the 679. I do not have direct experience with Pioneer head units because I've always stayed away from them. Roomates that I've had in the past have had back luck with them and all the home audio...

They probally will "work" but who knows how well. Components are designed as a set. The crossovers are usually designed for a specific set of speakers to be attached to it. The Inifinity speakers may have a slightly difffernt reactance than the Kicker ones and as thus the crossover point may...

I do most of my thesis research on Microwave Impedance matching structures in microstrip and the same thing applies here. The impedance (real and reactance) of a load can change the resonant points of all the resonators in the entire structure. Resonant points are placed to create a certain...

I bought these from eBay, not an authorized dealer and didn't have the option to get the silk tweeters. I contacted Diamond and they say I can buy the silk tweeters for around $100. For that money there may be better tweeters, like CDT's or Focals. If it's bad to mix and match though then...

Scenario: I have some M661's by Diamond and I don't like the Aluminum tweeter. I was considering buying some other brand tweeter, maybe the CDT silk dome tweeters for around $50 or maybe some focal tweeters or something. My question is this: is it OK to put these tweeters in with the DIamond...

I got the aluminum speakers and they are very harsh. I will probally pull the door panel off this weekend or something and set the crossovers to -2. I wish there was some way I could sell the aluminum tweeters and get the silk ones. The speakers sound real crisp but the tweeters are just...

I'm not the one with 4GB of gay **** on my computer... maybe there is something you should tell your wife.

you're just jelous

Well Kurt you don't have to put them in. Seeing as you're my friend though I would appreciate the help. But since it's such a hassle to you I won't bother you with it. Nick you've only heard the Diamonds for no more than 5 minutes max, there's no way you'd know if they were fatiguing.

I went ahead with the Diamonds. Thanks for the response.

I have a choice to make between the two today. Problem is I will not have a chance to hear either one and just have to rely on what y'all say. I heard the Diamonds once and they sounded alittle bright but good. I have yet to hear the focals but I know they have a good reputation. I have...

You could probally fix all this by no longer picking up little kids in your car and molestering them. BTW it's inductor.

I myself had problems with zeb. I think if you'll read through the forums people seem to speak very highly of the CDT's. I have some CDT coaxials in the front of my truck (being replaced this week with Focal Slim components) that I think sound excellent. Alot of people seem to think CDT's are...

IMO CDT coaxials for 44.99 are an awesome bang for the buck. I like mine.

I have Sirius and absolutely love it. I had it disconnected for a couple days while I was installing the Kenwood tuner and taking out the old Audiovox (which btw is now for sale..). When it was out of my truck I missed it. I almost feel like I can't live without it now. I don't have any...
