[QUOTE="djdilliodon!, post: 8775320, member: 684299"] with the power you will have, they should be plenty loud. Of course we all have a different standard of what we consider loud so at the end of the day that along with sound with be purely subjective and will vary from listener to listener. The alpines aren’t on the same level as the DLS set IMO. The last time I was amazed by an alpine set was very long ago when they had the F1 line that the mids where based off the scan speak drivers.
