My Pg Rsd65cs Review:

[tcguy85 10+ year member]

Yea. So are you going to try it sealed?


Funny you ask... When I installed my set I "took my eye off the ball" and connected the mid bass to the tweeter input on the crossover and the tweeter to the mid bass input on the crossover. Obviously I heard an audible defect (mid bass barely making any kind of noise and the tweeter sounding like ***). I called it quits after a long day and the next day I completely forgot I hadn't fixed it and on my way to school cranked the hell out of them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif and the realized it. Well, I really thought I toasted the tweeter, but after I got home I found/fixed the problem and they sound great!

not sure on the sub yet i think i'm gonna play with the EQ a bit more, and wow that didn't even kill them huh? nice!

I really thought the tweet was shot after that, the sound coming out of it was insane. Fixed the connection and everything was/is fine. Now get to tweaking that EQ!

yea lol. i read up on the ssi and everybody complains that it's very bottom heavy and slow sounding so we will see what happens. also i for some reason have my EQ boosted a lil bit at 31.5 hz (i do like the low low end) maybe that is making it sound a bit boomy. maybe i'll get rid of that peak and turn the sub up altogether and see what happens. i just want it to sound smoother and tighter.

another thing that sucks right now is it's getting pretty cold here now and i can hear a difference in sound cause the surrounds and stuff are getting stiffer and the bass response on the whole system is weaker. so i'm not gonna go swapping stuff or anything major till spring.

z0mg the unblowzable speakurrz! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Reading these positive reviews makes me want to try them for the hell of it for the simplicity and price. Might wait until it gets warmer so I can do my horn/seas install nice.

Does anybody know the factory crossover points?

nobody ever said they were "unblowable". but they do seem to take some power and abuse. i was just simply asking if anybody has blown a set or heard of a set blowing. thats all.

ill be selling my pg rsd's (bout 3 months old, bought new from msw danny (or his friend) dealer here on the forums) in about a week or so, wil lbe installing the hertz most likely thursday or the coming weekend, if anyones interested, comes with everything.

never played at max except during tuning & ony lseen ~80watts

(They weren't blown if you read that i said they blew few pages back, it turned out to be a blown channel on the amp :\... even worse!)

 

[BigJohnson 10+ year member]

I meant to install mine yesterday, but got lazy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Maybe next weekend.

A little about my system.

Alpine head unit

Zapco 4.0

Zapco 9.0

Speakers own in it's class.

polk momo nice mid bass, nice tweeter

alpine type r ok mid bass, nice tweeter

infinity 60.7CS mid bass alright no so great, nice tweeter

Rsd mid bass is better then type r and infinity but I like the polk momo.

Tweeter I think is the worst of them all. The sound over all wasn't very natural sounding to me. For the money I think it's a great deal $87 shipped. If anyone would like a more detail review or any questions let me know, I still have all the speakers. This is my opinion best way is to go hear it yourself and decide. My next set will be the Polk SR.

My next set will be the Polk SR.

Be sure to post up a review of the SR's. I can get a great deal on them, so I have been toying with that idea for a while.

Well, I finally gave in and bought a set of the RSD's.

Their supposed to be delivered 2morrow. I have an 03 escape and i just deadened the doors 2day. Will be running them on a profile amp that does 200rms per side. I will be setting the gain to 150rms per side, since that seems like the magic number everyone likes. prob wont be installing them till tuesday or thursday, as long as the weather permits it.

Im very excited, running stock fronts right now, my old car had infinity reference comps, which really lacked the lowend.

Will be pairing the rsd's with a 12" sealed infinity perfect, but thinking about upgrading the sub in a few months to a ported 15" FI Q for more output.
