How loud are Hybrid Legatia Pros?

wouldn't that cause the mids to play like this??

Is there a build log of this? Looks interesting!

Also, I stopped by the shop today to take a look at the speakers. The L6 and L1 Pro are both beautiful! For some reason I thought they'd be heavier. Very nice!

Not yet. I drop off my car in Friday at the install shop before I leave for Brazil. I return on Monday the 13th. I'll need to spend some time in my car but I'll be sure to report once I have some time to put the Legatias through their paces! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I'll ask the installer to take some pics!

Hopefully you'll be running these active and not with passive crossovers.

Yeah, along with the Legatias they'll be installing an Alpine 9887 and deadening the doors with Damplifier Pro.

Why not use the L4 for the upper end instead of the L1?
I'd rather live with a little attenuation on the top end, then deal with a potential suckout or just general nastiness in the midrange...

This is exactly what i'm doing with my L4s. I hope for the best.

I didn't know thats what you were going to do. And also didn't know you were on ca //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wave.gif.002382ce7d7c19757ab945cc69819de1.gif

I been here longer than I been on DIYMA. I just don't come here often. And yes that is the plan for my truck. I'm working slowy.

Ok, I got my car back yesterday from the shop. I decided to go passive since I didn't want to bi-amp yet. One of these days I'll upgrade my 2-ch amp to a big 4-ch for the front, but I've dropped enough on my system for now. Also, I haven't received the HAT crossovers yet, they are running off the Image Dynamics passive crossovers until next week or so when they arrive. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I won't comment on the sound quality yet since I don't have enough listening time with them (although they are amazing so far! I'm especially loving midbass!). But as for volume, I am not sure why anyone would say these don't get loud. I put in Metallica's One and I couldn't turn it all the way up. They get very loud for me! No distortion that I can hear either.

Like I said, this is a one-day review of their volume only. So far, my opinion is that there should be no question about the output capabilities of the Legatia Pro L61-2V2 drivers. Thumbs up!

Nice still thinking of going with these myself...

Yep, give them enough power they will get loud and sound very good doing it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I was told that 100watts a side would still make them pound? is that true?

I have 125w to each side from my SAX-125.2. Essentially the same amp as your 100.2, just the currrent model. Yes, they are plenty loud!

The mid bass on these is off the charts. I thought the mids from my Image Dynamics were good, but the L6 is significantly more prominent.

Sounds good.. Looking at replacing focal K2P's

I bet that L8 playing to 5khz at 90* off axis sounds simply wonderful. JFC....[facepalm]

No one ever mentioned the L8 playing up to 5KHz....the 2 way Legatia passive is offered for the L6 and the L4.
