Sold, to someone on another forum. This was a good chance to pick up a nice set of HAT Unity's for a great price. You guys miss out, caraudio.com peeps.

A few people have written asking about the 'scuff'. It's very light and minimal and can only be seen in certain lights. I didn't know, but I had a small piece of ensolite stuck to my sleeve, with some sticky side out. I reached across my door skin and the ensolite brushed the speaker cone...

I'll take $200 plus shipping. That's insane. I'm not able to edit my first post. I'm not sure why.

New Price. Don't be shy now!!

Item(s) for Sale: Hybrid Audio (HAT) Unity 6.5" Component Speakers Item(s) Description/Condition: These speakers are like-new, with all original packaging, parts, etc. They have about 4 hours of play time on them, and were only driven by a 50 watt amp, so they weren't abused and are not...

Anyone local to Sacramento that can help? I've been installing my first build over the past month in my 2003 Tacoma. Somewhere along the way, things started to sound bad and I don't know why. Listening to my build hurts my ears. It sounds hollow and has a pronounced mid range, but I can't seem...

It's weird. I can't pick out anything when I'm listening that sounds too loud/crisp. And yet after a few minutes my ears feel bothered and I keep turing the volume down until OFF. I work in Rec. studio, have 2 18" subs at home, listen on headphones at times during the day, go to a rehearsal...

Well, after a few days with this new HU, it too is also fatiguing my ears. Even more so than the old one. I'm not saying it's the HU, but something in this system that the HU is bringing out. At this point its probably the speakers distorting or the coloration of the amp. I'm going to put...

That's kind of what I'm doing. With my amp gain where it's at, I have the sub level on the HU at +15 for the songs with weaker bass but I have to bring it down to +7 or +5 for the songs with stronger bass. It seems like a big margin, but I don't hear any clipping, just the sweet sound of panel...

BTW Jeffdachef, I see in your sig. you are running 6x9's in the front stage, but you told me to stay away form oval speakers. Do you not like yours? Do you find they distort easier?

Turning the HU up more made a world of difference!! That was the veil I spoke of. I wasn't driving the signal enough to excite things. As for the bass, I've read a bunch of tips and I understand that you want to put your sub level at the max before you set the gain, that way you can't bump...

I just went out and tried things with the volume at 95%. With it that high, I don't even need to raise the gain on the door speaker channels. It's already at the threshold of pain. As far as the sub, should I boost the signal on the HU or the amp? The HU has a sub output that goes up to +15 dB.

I just did some reading and found what you are saying about the signal being clean up to around 95%. I'll have to re-do my gains tomorrow and see how that changes things. Edit: I typed this before I read your last post.

The bass guitar I speak of in this instance is reggae, so it's lower and has some sub tone added. It slams with the old HU but is more mellow with the new one. Kinda like the same bass player is playing the same thing but is on different drugs. I'm not using the filters on the amp, just the...

Another weird bass thing between the two is: On the old HU, no matter what I do with the crossover, the kick is always PROMINENT in the subwoofer along with the bass guitar. On the new HU, its mostly in the door speakers and the sub is just all kinds of silky smooth bass. Or its seems that...
