My pg rsd65cs review as promised

[skydeaner 10+ year member]

200 watts a side from my diamond amp, i often wonder if its cause of the sound deadning ( do i have 2 much?)

Nah, i have as much as you, and it looks like you used clay and everything just like i did also. Do you have a link to the component set you are using? Maybe it has the woofer's specs in the manual, that can shed some light on why they dont have much midbass.

Good Luck with onlinecarstereo. My wife ordered my RSD6cs back on 12/ 5, and as of this morning (12/26) they still hadn't shipped. She cancelled the order and I bought a set off of fleabay for $20.00 less shipped.

I got mine within 3 days of ordering from their website, and many other people have as well. 87 shipped is what i payed.

I'll buy a set! lol From what I've seen everyone say, you're probably better off with one set.

yeah but i'm not going to be over powering them like everyone else. plus i'm looking to get loud and have the sets keep up with 2 15's ported into the cabin. i would just go active with front stage but i like having audio coming from the rear as well. just gives me that surrounding feeling. w/o my rear speakers it just feels empty to me. you are better off buying yours from the site. i also payed 87 shipped for each. if i sold you a set you'd be paying for the set and shipping charges. i'd rather sell them locally to a friend who is interested in a set if i don't want them.

plus i won't be installing them for another 2 months as i need to get funds for sound deadener and the rest of my install. i'm just picking up the peices before i fix the puzzle.

Finally ordered my amp today (thanks santa claus) . I will be powering my 2 rsd 12's with a directed 2400d. I will post reviews in this thread very soon.

EDIT:

Oh yeah i guess you could use some pictures of my rsd 12's right?

Just bought me a set of these components thanks to all of the reviews...

I'll post up my own experience with them as well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I dunno, a couple of things throw me off about those mids. The thin kevlar cones that they say "Flex to make a softer form of distortion than the popping made by traditional poly cones" also means reduced bass output. The stiffer the cone the better material it is for bass reproduction. That is why in subwoofers they always use thick pulp paper, thick poly, or solid spun aluminum or other metals.

Also i don't know much about this new magnet system they talk about, but maybe it limits x-max in some way. I know it is kinda an underhung design in a way. I couldn't find any x-max or xmech specs on that component set though, maybe it is in the manual that came with them?

EDIT:

Really though after looking at the aura subwoofers using the same technology nrt motor that have 2" peak to peak excursion I don't think the xmax on those would be a problem. Have you heard other people with them? What kind of vehicle are they in?

the thicker paper cones on a subwoofer has to do with a lack of having to worry about the moving mass of the woofer.

si senor i understand strength to weight ratio. But non pressed pulp is very stiff also. This was just an example, no need to overanalyze what i was saying. Coneflex = bad for bass.
