How loud are Hybrid Legatia Pros?

Oh ok, Tom never told me that. Then again I never asked him lol.

moneybags runs the 3 way set and his subs do 145dB out of the trunk on music and they keep up with no problem. Excellent midbass out of the 8's in his doors...

Wait untill I ask you to help me glass another set in my doors

did i claim to be a "hybrid audio expert" ? nodid i ask a valid question and get a immature response from you calling me a turd? yes

man ur a joke //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I'm a joke? Have you ever used a HAT product? Please tell me you've at least listened to one in person. Give us something other than your insinuation about overhead costs.

Yes, they're made 100% in-house by the president of the company. He widdles the baskets out of wrought iron and paints the phase plugs with the pigment from the skin of freshly killed baby seals.

Turd. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

YOU tell us...

Well, more accurately, I have ordered them. In a few weeks I'll be dropping my car off at the shop to have them installed, whilst I enjoy the sunny beaches of Brazil.

The reason I axe is that I read someone post that they don't get very loud. I am not looking to make my ears bleed. But I drive with my windows down a lot. That's all.

But get the L8's and L1's and yes they will outperform almost any and all setups and get extremely loud. Especially those L8's, there beasts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If a dedicated midrange is used in between, then maybe. But the L8's cannot play up to a tweeter (it's a subwoofer by spec) and the L1's cannot play down to an 8" midbass with any sort of clarity or dynamics.

Any active speaker is only as good as the installer and the tuner. Until then, it's just a raw driver. And a raw driver can be turned into a paperweight pretty easily unless the installer knows what he/she is doing. Just sayin.

U obviously have never heard any of Tom's installs lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Best system I've heard to date had just the L1 and L8

They have HUGE frequency ranges.

Thats the set w/ the L1v2's which aren't as good as the L1 pros.

These are HANDS DOWN worth the extra money. Ever if that means you have to save for a bit longer. That tweeter, my words couldn't even explain how good it is!

why do people make threads about stuff they have.. if you are going to install it listen for yourself.. thats like buying a pizza and before eating it asking us what it tastes like.. find out for yourself if its in front of you

Anyone can email me if they have any questions I might be able to help with....

I have a set of Legatia L61-2 Pros. Replacing a set of Image Dynamics CXS64's. They'll be powered by a Sundown 125.2.
In terms of volume, how will the Legatias perform compared to the ID's?

Loud enough to make me want to get out. With proper crossover settings each of the L6's can handle more power than you plan on feeding the set //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Ain't that the truth...

I am still on the fence about switching to these myself.. My buddy has the 3 way pro set active and its perfection. I will be using a crossover though.

Yea, will look at the FR graphs on many drivers and you will see them showing a "huge" FR, but that doesn't mean they will perform well. I don't know who Tom is and don't really care, but if he can make something like those two play as well as you're claiming, that's quite a feat. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The FS on the L1 Pro is 700 hz and the manual states it's recommended min HP pt is 2khz with a fourth order slope. The L8 does fine until 500 hz and then starts to get squiggly and clearly breaks up after 2khz...not to mention that any 8" driver will start to beam at 1.7 khz.

Put all those together and it doesn't make for exactly an "optimal" pair. To recommend it to the level of experience with active systems and the like around here is pretty foolish, IMO. Yes, I've used the L8 in a two-way up front just to see how it would play up to the old L1 and it was horrendus due to the factors I just mentioned. Put the L4 or L3 in there, though, and it's a hell of a set.
