My pg rsd65cs review as promised

[skydeaner 10+ year member]

i have crystal comps....sscs models and i am am not happy with them and/or the midbass. my little 5.25 stocks with the rotted foam surround and powered off the HU dug deeper than these

Are you doors deadened? I find stock speakers a lot of times hit lower and have more midbass punch than aftermarket speakers if you don't treat the doors at all.

although the pro 60's are in a far different price category i think you will be pleasantly suprised.

lots of power and some playing around with the eq might help. try boosting the 60-200hz range and see what happens.

i have plenty of mid-bass with the RSD's though. i still can't believe the mid-bass output and extension on these things.

good point tc, how much power do you have going to the crystal's?

Thanks for writing the review, I bought these off of that review. I am currently running off of about 80rms, but was thinking of bridging my tru 4.65 (should be around 150ish bridged). How would that go? I don't run the gains on my amp but use my symmetry as the pre-amp.

Also, I have a 28 band eq on the symmetry, anyone able to help me match the eq to the speakers (is that even possible)?

Just from 1 day of listening, the midbass is AWESOME (even with my running 80 watts not setup properly) and the highs are very nice, a bit too bright for me on +2, so I put them back to 0.

So SHOULD the 5.25's perform the sameas the 6.5's??? I just have to ask...

awesome review, i too bought these from reading off of others uses and opinions. i ended up getting 3 sets for my future instal. overkill? maybe... 2 in the rear deck, 1 in each front door, a 1 set in kick pods i will glass. i just got to figure out how i'm going to power these up. or at least power up the 3rd set. i don't want anything running from the HU.

That would be an imaging nightmare.

quite true but you'll never learn w/o trying. if i do end up having too much trouble with it i could just rid of the kicks and sell them to a friend.

Can't disagree with ya there.

I'm guessing price is one reason. these things are so **** cheap. I'm going to try and make a 1.8 box over the weekend. I ordered the sub last night. Not sure how long it takes onlinecarstereo to get stuff shipped out.

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.

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

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