thanks.

are you asking what size hole do you need if you flush mount them? if so, yes 2 inch.

 

[01 S 10 10+ year member]

do they have the bracketry to be flush mounted? because I have kickpanels with a 2" hole for the tweeter. that was my main question.

Thanks

yes they do! if you already have a 2" hole these will be PERFECT!

here is a pic if it helps.... this is how they look flushed in the kicks... very purdy!

I grabbed mine just the other day and got them in today. Man do they sound great. tcguy, thank you SO MUCH for talking me into these. They are simply amazing. I mean amazing. For the money they simply cannot be beat. In fact, they sound better than any comp set I've ever owned. Only thing that even came close was the Alpine Type X's (top of the line when they first came out) my buddy had in his Prelude. And those were 4x the price. Great mid-bass, mellow sound, and looks great to boot. And all that on only 100w RMS total (50x2). Once I get a better comp amp, these sound REALLY come to life.

good to hear. and they will like a lot more power.

They do take a great deal more power than what the stated RMS handling is. I did notice today that while listening to a bit more complex music (lateralus) that they were losing some of the qualities that I love so much. I had to turn them down.

During regular (read less complex) music, they handle the power with ease, but during some tool and also rush they have been taxed slightly.

maybe you need even more power.

how much power are you running? active or passive?

i found, at least in my case that the mid-range cleaned up A LOT when switching to active with them. i have never heard them sound taxed like you are saying. they just get way to loud.

Gawd, these must be the bomb I think I will order mine tomorrow..do you think they will sound better then my 3 way Kicker 6X9's KS693's im running in the rear? if so I will get two sets one for the front and a set for the rear. Im running just hu power to my kickers but Im gettin a 4x150rms amp to run in the near future.

Hey tc, just wondering what you settled on for your low end cutoff on the RSD's. I initially went with 50Hz but found that they were distorting SLIGHTLY with very loud volume on thrash type metal (listening to Megadeth). For Rap/Hip-hop (Jurassic 5) they were just fine with a lower cutoff, but for metal they seem to need around 70-80hz to clear up completely.

i have settled with 80hz at a 12 db slope because of how much power i am running. i think 60 might be ok at a steep slope like 18 or 24db.

I'm running passive with about 120 rms.

Maybe I'll adjust some settings and see what happens.

Yea, I'm on a 24db slow right now. Seems like they can go down much lower than my 5000cs (110Hz on those). I've only just put them in, so some tweaking will be needed. Also, I still have to set up my tweeters in the position I end up feeling "good about them". I'm going to try some various locations and see what I think. Once I figure that out, I'll be better off.

For now I'm going to shoot for 70-80Hz. Hopefully with the 24db slope 70 will be attainable. If not, I'll try the 12db 80Hz setup your on right now. Still very impressed with these speakers for the price.

Also, what cut off are you using for your sub? Right now I'm running my sub frequency right up to the RSD's cut off. So in other words, if my RSD's are 80Hz 24db slope HP, my subs are 80Hz 24db slope LP. Any thoughts on that based on your experience with these? I'm running only the RSD tweeters, RSD drivers, and subs. No other speakers in the mix.

Also, tc, check out my thread. I made a thread for compiling data on what frequency range people are using for their component/midrange/midbass drivers. You should add your data to that. I think it will help people trying to decide a base line of frequency response for a given product or speaker size.
