My Pg Rsd65cs Review:

[Towncar 10+ year member]

I would like to hear a review of these mids sound without deadening the doors. I'd like to avoid having to deaden my doors if at all possible.

Doors deadened or not, they are monsters of midbass..

i wouldn't know..... but they are sick in my deadened and sealed doors. i did not have to EQ in any extra bass in the mid-bass area.

I wonder if my XR 650 mids will have more punch if I deaden my doors?

it should help, we just can't say how much.

i got my set the other day. they'll be powered by a cadence amp giving 150 to each side. can't wait to hear them.

Now I have disided to get Pg Rsd65cs and its cost is RS.10,000 in India. My existing amp is JBL-CS60.4. Is it enough for Pg Rsd65cs?

well after 3 months of running my rsd's, my right front tweeter went out last night. I dont even know what caused it. volume was close to off the whole ride home after work since I was on the phone. after 2 hours of the car being off, i turn the car back on, turn it up to about 60%, i hear some cracking sounds, narrowed it down to the front right tweeter. So I faded all the sound to the left so I can deal with it in the morning.. in the morning I fade it back to center and now there isn't sound coming at all from the front right.

Connection at the amp is fine nothing loose, nothing loose at the speaker or the tweeter or xover... Now with the front right not working, the front left doesn't sound clean (kind of like it's about to blow too) when i turn it to about 50% -- everything sounded perfectly clean for 3 months --. I'm pretty sure it isn't distortion that caused it, I got the system professionally installed and installer did gains with DMM and test tones.... any ideas why it would go out by just turning off and on the car??

... don't know if I should just get another set or to try something else.. suggestions?

Did the speakers come with any type of warranty? If so, I'd think they'd still be covered if you've only had them for 3 months. If they are covered, I certainly wouldn't tell them you've been running them with an amp that produces more than double the power rating for these speakers. That I think would certainly void the warranty.

As far as why it blew, do you push your system pretty hard? 150 watts is a lot of power for those speakers. Or it could have just been defective from the factory. It does happen from time to time.

what i have read on here many recommend it be pushed to 150 watts, which im with you personally i think its a little to high for rms wattage

they were only being fed 75watts per channel, its a 4 channel amp. they were powering my fronts & backs.

I got them off MSW Danny here on the forums (Him or his friend has a shop or something) brand new, just PM'd him earlier today.. hopefully its covered

i usually listen at about 50-60% daily and ocassional 80% if I were showing a friend the system

Then that shouldn't hurt them. My guess is the tweet had some kind of defect from the factory and it's just now showing up.
