Got mine on tuesday and like them. I don't see how they sell these for so cheap and

still make a profit.

Because other companies have HUGE margains where PG is going for smaller margins but greater sales.

Sorry I'm reading about supply demand right now but I bet they decided that the equilibrum price was higher and went under it but also increased supply. Just a great situation for us really.

Other companies go for fewer sales but huge margins. I think PG actually makes more money this way *shrug*.

Not bad, but for 30 more dollars, I perfered my Pioneer Premier 720c's much more. I actually had better bass response out of them than my PG Rsd's.

Good for the money, but for a little more dough, would be much happier IMHO.

Just picked up another set of 720's since I have decided to get back into the swing of things.

Well, technically it'd be better for the economy for making bigger margins because it uses up less natural resources and pollutes less, however, it adds more jobs. But since they're probably outsourced, I doubt it matters to us, really.

But OP: I installed a pair of RSD's in my ex's car. Her muffler rusted off (it was an old G2 Integra LS), and they easily drowned out the muffler, and while they did miss some low end sound, and sounded really hollow with out subs. But, I think that's how most comps are.

I heard there were a set of comps that were going for like $40 bucks or so that were also a good steal. But, I don't remember the name.

Might be this set: http://www.millionbuy.com/pows6c.html

How much power would you have going to the RSDs? They need more than their rated power (100w RMS per side would do the trick) to sound decent IMO.

I highly agree with this. Ive heard both the Pioneers and the RSD's and currently own the Pioneer 720's which are in my wifeys car. Def worth the extra 30 bucks .

Although if your budget is strictly set at $60-$70, definitely go with the RSD's.

Maybe. I can't really remember to be honest.

my rsd's off of my alpine pdx 2.150 are slammin and i have had them over a year now. replaced a set of focal k2p's up front. in fact i decided to use the pg's expecting to go back to the focals, but never did. i enjoy the set very much

I'll still doubt them until i hear them.

ca.com reviews will not sway me to try them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm not sure if those folks knows what midbass is.

Maybe PG will come out with a 10" midbass for their next RSD set and then you'll give em a try //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The PB comps were surprisingly good for the $$$. Had some decent snap on metal and the highs were pretty loud and clear. I've heard worse comps that cost a LOT more...
