comp or coaxil

[jellyfish420 10+ year member]

ive always heard comp sets are better for sq then coaxil. which would sound better(in your opinion) a set of cheap comps off ebay, under $50, or a set of CDT CL-5X?

When going comps, don't go too "cheap" or you'll be wasting your money.

Some good budget sets are the Infinity Reference, Peerless Definition, RE comps and the like

COMPS!

usually (from what ive heard) the high end companies that make comps have their 'low end' and 'high end' and i suppose the low end ones will always be better than the cheap $50 pair, but im getting my cdts on thursday. from what ive heard. go comps all the way. you can change the frequencies unlike coaxial. you have dedicated midbass and high, overall quality is much better than "sell more worth less" idea that companies like rockford, audiobahn, and pioneer have.

so get comps. =)

Not too many comps have variable crossover points. Most just have tweeter attenuation.

quality really doesn't have much to do with the difference...there are excellent coaxials out there and really bad comp sets, just because they're comps doesn't automatically make them better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

so i'd just be better sticking with the CL-6X up front unless i want to shell out some big buck on a nice comp set?

if u are going to do a small amp 50x2 ish or HU power i say get the cdt coax's but if u wanna do a more power full amp dont get those cheapo comps off ebay save your cash and spend 150ish a nice decent set.

**** satnet 560 doesn't even have that

well im just gonna stick with the CL-6X up front. cause i don't have that much money right now.should i high pass the coaxils? what would be the optimum freq to high pass these at?

 

[supa_c 5,000+ posts]

120 hz 100hz.

 

[jellyfish420 10+ year member]

would it hurt them to pass them at about 60-70hz when i get my 15 back. cause my hcca didn't really go much over 50-60Hz. its kinda weird cause my cheap sonys are loud all the way to alittle over 80 by the expensive orion don't like high notes.

60,70 is bassy. but im shure it wouldnt hurt them

 

[jellyfish420 10+ year member]

well if the sub didn't play over 50-60, wouldn't i want to do them lower around 60-70, so the two can kind of blend together in the middle? if i did them at 100-120 i'd have a "hole" in my music from about 50 to 120hz. . . wouldn't i?

a "hole" thats funny.

70 is good if you can do it.

are they gonna kinda sound muddy. my 6x9s do, they'renot high passed. but when the bass hits they get muddy. they're cheap sonys too. maybe thats why
