hmmm I ebayed Phoenix Gold RSd 65cs
The cheapest I found was 79.99 + 25 shipping

anyone have the link as to where they bought theirs?

That ended up bein where I got mine from.

I think the place that has them for 79.99 is out of stock so be careful ordering them. There are a few other forum members who are in contact with the seller and he/she seems to be reassuring them that everything will be sent out as soon as his stock is replenished. Just thought I'd make it known.

150 will do good but the more head room you have the better.

16 gauge for the mids, and 18 gauge for the tweeters. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Ah shucks.

yea, so its still passive. the sub will always be active in any install. you'll never see a sub in a car with a passive crossover, so the sub will always be controlled actively. but your front stage is still passive.

i'll have to disagree ...I will still build a system running a sub passive occasionally....Though it is moe rare these days...because most newer amps have built in active crossovers....so more adjustability...but occasionally I'll put together something using an old school amp without built in crossovers and eithr use a pre made passive crossover or build one myself out of coils and caps.....

i doubt anyone is throwing a true 150 to their rsd's

all i know is my amp can send 200 rms to each mid and 100 rms to each tweeter, and i DO see my clip light flash very slightly at times.

Threw my rsd mids in to replace my revs and try them out. Have them running off a JL 300/4 that's rated at 75watts X 4 @ 4ohms at 12 volts I believe. I've seen reviews saying they put out more like 96watts @ 4 ohms.

I don't see how you could be sending a true 150watts to these. When I tried to turn the gain up they sounded kind of distorted. It could be the amp but I don't think it's clipping because I just had the revs on it and they sounded fine.

Trying to figure out what's going on here because they aren't sounding that great.

Why would Phoenix Gold rate a speaker at 60rms and build it to handle 200rms no problem, yes it is better to overpower than to underpower, but over 100% more than recommended seems kind of ridiculous. I'm not saying tcguy is lying either, it just seems obscure.

 

[DeboDaddy 10+ year member]

My RSD's didn't like over about 80rms until I deadnened and sealed everything. Now it seems like they are begging for more. Not sure why it made a difference, but they WILL NOT distort on an unclipped signal, no matter how much I give them.
