Dayton PA165-8 6" PA Driver

Well I got these in a while ago and ghetto installed them for now till I get my box built. For now they sound real nice on slowed down music and good but not the greatest on rock and indie rock but still not bad. For cheap little speakers they are great and get hella loud. I am not even giving them the full 50 watts that I planned to give them yet. I took a video of how loud they are the distortian is from the camera not being able to pick it up because of it being so loud, I also asked my neighbors before hand and showed how far away you could actually hear them from, I could of kept walking but I didn't want to leave my car running un attened and being out of eye site. These are located behind the drivers seat. I custom slowed the song down with acid pro.

Yah they get loud as hell for what they are, I asked my neighbors that were home before I did it so no one would get mad after I did it my neighbor said well if you told me they were that loud I would have said no lol.

how do they sound

I like the way they sound they have a annoucement speaker sound if that makes sense, I don't know how to describe it because it sounds like a normal speaker just with a little edge to it, its a love it or hate it sound.

all depends how u set em up !Mine sound pretty **** gooood!

an EQ helps a lot....they are a different sound, but I wouldnt say in a bad way

Nice, Ive never been a huge PA driver fan, but it seems good sound quality can be gotten out of a setup using them, minus a lil midbass.

Setup are def loud though, which is always a plus in my book:thumbsup:

100hz playing at my full volume, 63hz cruising around...with a 50hz high pass on the amp too

I have mine around 100hz also no way to tell really thoe since my head unit dosent have built in high pass and I have it running the high pass on the amp.

x2 they still have good sq I gues they have sort of an echo if that makes sense.

What eq are you running I might have to invest in it if they sound even better then.
