My Pg Rsd65cs Review:

[tcguy85 10+ year member]

well it's day four..... i have gotten a pretty good amount of time on them already and the sound must have changed a lil today. the mid-bass seems to have gotten even stronger as well as the 2k-3.5k area. the overall sound started to sound a little harsh and overwhelming, but i fixed it already . i had to cut 125hz, 200hz, 315hz, and also 2k and 3.5k all by 1 on the EQ. certain songs started sounding very harsh in the 2-3.5k range so i had to cut -1 on each on the EQ and it made a huge difference.

i also changed the LPF on the sub to 50hz instead of 63hz since the mid-bass had gotten even stronger. changing the low pass helped a LOT with SQ. even the bass now sounds like it's staged more towards the front. other than feeling the bass hitting, you wouldn't be able to localize it very easily.

sooo i continue to be amazed what these little comps can do!!

and bryce-man i paid $87 shipped but the seller and i were both in NY so i also had to pay tax so i think $96. they are a sick deal!

Man give it two weeks and it won't even be the same comp set that you installed.

i know what you're saying but i have probably played them for as long as most people would have played them in two weeks. hahaha. i have been finding excuses to get out and listen to them, and i have actually just been sitting in the driveway or parking lot just for the hell of it listening and tuning for hours and hours in the evenings after work.

what changed about the sound as time went on?

haha, I did the same thing. I noticed no change in the tweets, but the midbass kind of "woke up" - its hard to explain, but it's like it's a completely different driver. Me like.

hmmmm.... so you think the midbass will improve even more? the mid-bass got a lot louder over time?

It's definitely a possibility... hopefully

man, im jealous of all this mid-bass talk, i just bought a pair of CDT's for twice your price, and im not sure if my mid bass levels even come close to what you're sayin about your PG's, but then again i just put em in saturday, so hopefully itll work in

thats cause CDT has no midbass unless you spend hundreds - HYPE.........
the PG's sound like they would make most listeners happy

and they are dirt cheap too - I am all about that.......

Speaker companys overcharge and any time you can find a great speaker

for cheap you are many steps ahead of the retailers and the rest of your friends

are they in your doors? are your doors deadened and sealed? it makes a HUGE difference.

i just started put the speakers in last week, so deadening is next on my priority list! how necessary are baffles, bass blockers, and all that what not? or is sealing and deadening enough

deadening the doors will give you some extra mid-bass punch. and the baffles probably won't be 100% necessary in every install but a lot of cars need then to space the speaker out away from the windows and other things. but i do believe it is better to mount a speaker to a wooden baffle rather than just a thin metal door panel.

and no on the bass blockers as long you you have crossovers which a good deck will have, and if not the amp should 99% of the time have a crossover.

hmm, i may get the baffles, would i be better off making the wooden baffles myself, or is there a cheap place to purchase them? and also the issue of moisture and wood?
