I had those Daytons and took them out. My Rainbows SLC 165 Kicks are WAAAAAY better than the Daytons.
Either my Daytons were F'ed up from the start, or whoever said they sound better than SLCs is retarded.

How were yours installed?

IB...?

That's personal opinion. Nobody is retarded for having an opinion. Like my previous post, the Daytons need some work to sound right. But when done right, they sound amazing. Most people that have problems with them, have implemented them wrong.

I agree with this sentiment. His words came off a bit harsh, and I personally can compare these to the SLC's as I've run both, and having the proper setup on the daytons, they are much more musical and crisp compared to the slc mids. I am VERY happy with my switch over and would do it all over again if I had the choice.

I also tried the aluminum cone 7's from dayton that are in that link. They were very very nice in hitting the low low notes. I could cross them at 31.5 hz and they would shake the shit outta my seat lol.

I am sure some "cool" person that is on here 24/7 will say repost, but i think this has some valuable information. Both Dayton 7's did really well in this test.

ok, i think it would be better if i didnt try to do an active set up for now, im thinking i may just needed to buy a good set of compnents, so what component set should i get. i know there are so many different brands out there and each person prefers something else. I dont want the tweeters to be real harsh, so i guess i need to look for some with soft dome tweeters. price is prob going to need to be under $200. also i have a small power acoustik amp in my 300zx, i think it may be broken or maybe i blew the fuse but do you think its worth trying to get it working to run the componets off of. i think its a 2 channel amp, but i dont know the specs on it or the model number right now, i can check when i get home. I tend to ramble on these things but i pretty much have 2 questions: what is a good soild 6.5'' component set with NON harsh tweeters that can be had for under 200 and should i pursue trying to fix my amp or is power acoustik to crapy to run speakers off of? thanks for any help

Rainbow slc's, and no don't use the power acoustick on them please //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

how much are they, where can i get them, and what amp should i use, like whats a good brand thats somewhat cheap

 

[nismos14 5,000+ posts]

6spdcoupe $230, a good 100 rms each side, or up to 150 rms. I have an amp available for a good price you may want to consider.

the poster of this threat have just take the components option, so i can jack this threat , joking.

I have been reading about this woofers a bit and i like then, i have already had comps and coax, but right now i want to go active, but i want to be pretty loud.

Are this mids loud, and what about some horns insteead of tweeters to complement the setup (proper installed of course), cause they xover is a little low, and the horns go lower than a tweet.

The system i want to install is 8 RS180, 2 in each door and 2 horns under the dash, and 4 mids in the back with two more horns, i will put a carpc soon son i'll have 4.1 capability. Or is better to stay with tweets??

Buddy has a pair of Reference 7's in each door of his BlazerXtreme. Says they sound really good and have good midbass. They get pretty loud too. But he's taking them out and putting his Eminence's back in because they are waaay louder.

Sure they are louder but they sound like chit as well.

If properly setup and powered... and paired with a decent tweeter...
They can sound as good or better than a lot of entry-mid level component sets.

seas neo the metal one you can get them from either Solen.ca or madisound.com reral cheap and some of the best tweets I haver heard smooth as butter and those Daytons rs-180s are very detailed but do lack some midbass but sound so **** good.
