My Pg Rsd65cs Review:

[SonicBoom555 10+ year member]

O yeah one more question, do I leave the gain on the amp all the way up and adjust from the hu? It's only running 2x75watt rms btw. thanks

 

[tcguy85 10+ year member]

how did you set the gain?

the best way is to do it the way explained in the tutorial in the amp section on here.

here is the link, just follow what is said in there. it's the safest way to do it.

thanks for the link.

I set my gains to like 65% of the knob on the amp, bass / treble are at 0dB.

I use 25 on my hu like I always do with no boost on treble or bass, and set the gain to 65% so it gives the same volume prior to installing the amp. ( But of course the sound is more dynamic than before even at the same volume //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif )

i would still set the gains as explained in that thread, it's fairly easy and you won't have to worry about anything after.

setting it anywhere just guessing is not good. there are to many variables when doing it that way.

i was thinking about getting the rainbow cmx 265 kicks but now i'm having 2nd thoughts with a lot of people in that thread talking about problems they're having. the rainbows are over 3 times more expensive. should i just get these with a cadence 150x2 and save myself a boatload of money??!??!

Here $87 shipped

my first post. I'm wondering if all you guys can help me out.

I bought some of these after all the great reviews.

I just received my new PG RSDs from online ebay retailer. Its suppose to be brand new but I don't think it is.

the only hardware that came with it for tweeter mounting was 2 outer cups for flush mounting. and 2 retaining rings for surface mounting. From the manual it looks like i'm missing 2 inner cups for flush mounting and 2 outer cups for surface.

Am i right? or is that all the hardware i get is 2 big silver cups and 2 black outer cups that goes around the tweeters.

For people who's bought these please tell me what should be included for mountinf hardware.

Thanks

Cheers

I got them on ebay from indoaudio or w/e... they shipped next day and I got it the day after //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif But I paid like $8 more than the link above.

After reading so much about these speakers I am have a growing urge to buy them. Currently I have some polk momo 650's do you think these will be a significant step up? I have an infinity 7540a amp thats 111x4 @ 4ohms.

 

[tcguy85 10+ year member]

never heard the momo's so i can't really say.

I hear pretty good things about the momo component set. Do you have the coaxials now? If so, then yes, it will be a large step up. If you have the components already, then you might want to stick with them as I have heard they are two similar sets (the RSd's and the momo's), or look into something that is a little more "high-end." The Pioneer 720's have been getting positive reviews.
