CDT Components are they as good as some people say??

[Iluv2zmzm]

since they are not very popular just want to make sure that they are a good set of components and coaxials:

CDT makes high quality speakers but I'd skip the CL line and spend a little more for the EF series.

^ not bad advice. And in that price range, also look into the Rainbow SLC265's.

I've used CDT Audio for about 10+ years now and like it alot! I have the HD set, 2 way, but am converting back to the 3 way from way back when. I've also used the ES line that was very nice as well...blew the 6.5's, so went back to the HD's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Looking at replacing them, just getting old. Might try the DLS stuff, Uridiums maybe this time.

Hope this helps!

I hope you meant DLS Iridium. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Out of curiosity, what are you amping those with?

CDT does not make a bad product. Their top end stuff is very nice. Their low end stuff is acceptable for the money. If you like their sound then that's what matters.

CDT is my brand of choice for kickpanel installs. Also, if doing a 3-way, the HD, and ES 4" component sets are fantastic. I don't like CDT's midbass response though. The HD's aren't horrible, but not great when compared to some other brands out there.

For top end clarity, without being brittle, or rough, in other words, very easy to listen to, then CDT is great.

Well, actually, that's not what I meant //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I'm looking at the UR361 set...The Ultimate. It's late, I'm tired...I was thinking URxxx and seeing Iridium in my head...and no, I don't do drugs! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif

Thanks for catching that!!

Yes, mids are 'ok'. I just replaced my titanium tweeter with a silk done CDT unit and it's MUCH better up high! I've always seemed to have a midbass hole in the system...that's why I'm adding my 4" driver and the 3 way xovers to try and help cure it. I still have my 4" ES mids...I'll have to use those in the kicks instead of the HD 4's.

I did use the ES 3 ways and the midbass really picked up nicely!

i didnt like the cdt cl61's much. so i got the kicker ss65.2's *big smile* they didnt have much bass response at all, with my install. they got 'kinda' loud, but for 120w i expected more. clairty could have been alot better. it wasmy first comp set, so overall i was very happy. but im very picky when it comes to clean sound. so i ordered this Kicker SS652 6.5" component set. see how i like these. CDT's are good, but like some people said id opt for the EF series and skip CL

I have the same set and I'm running them off of a Tru 4.65. They are seeing about 80 rms. Pretty nice sounding. Not harsh at all. Mids could be a bit more powerful though.

i have used mb quart discuss, infinityref and kappa, polk ex and so on and like the CDT CL series better.

All of CDT's lines are great and have great detail and accuracy when properly installed and produce awesome results when using the correct one for what you are trying to achieve. CDT also makes some of the most feature rich passive crossovers in the market. Course I'm a bit biased //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
