BOSE over CDT HD-62?

[APitBullT 10+ year member]

Ok for some reason im not feeling my CDT-HD62, it doesnt give me the loudness as my Escalades BOSE speakers. I have the CDT's up front and have a US AMP running them, they sound like they are maxed out at half the volume and im afraid they will pop.

is it the amp or is these speakers not as good as people make them sound out to be?

would you choose BOSE over CDT-HD62's?

please let me know as i would like to buy them and install them asap.

thanks,

Sergio

You like the Bose sound because its eq'ed to death in order to make the cheap drivers they use sound decent.

If you have some way of eq'ing your CDT's you might be surprised how much better they are than the Bose sound you remember.

Give them no less than 150 per side with HP at 100hz and solid deadened doors.

My thoughts exactly.

Dont sell the HD's... At least not for Bose equipment.

 

[99galant 10+ year member]

put like 175-200rms if you have the 560i crossover and really get them sounding good.

OK this is what i have...

-US400x amp

-CDT HD-62 speakers

-PIOAVHP5700DVD indash T.V.

this is what the amp settings have...

100Hz - High

Low

Full

and its set on "FULL"

I dont know what the gain settings are at, becuase there is no writing around it.

i would guess they are at 25%.

I dont know what the crossovers are set at becuase they are inside the doors.

i havent touched any of the EQ in the indash Tv or my iPod.

i had them installed at a car audio shop.

hope this helps.

thanks guys,

Sergio
