awesome. nothing but positives about them... the only semi-negative thing i can say is that the crossovers are fuggin huge, and finding a spot to hide them can be a chore in certain cars.

this'll be in a tahoe probably so i doubt it will be a huge obstical. How much power were they getting? How loud were they?

i was biamping mine with a GT22 on the mids and a GT20 on the tweets. they got very loud, but linearity was incredible. they sounded every bit as good at high volumes as they did at lower volumes. i could turn my subs off and it still sounded like there was a 10" sub hidden up in the front of the car somewhere... enough to make my rear view mirror shake. and i did zero sound deadening, though i didn't really feel like i needed it. it was in an 02 jetta, and the doors are completely sealed in those from the factory. in a tahoe, definitely deaden the holy piss out of those doors though. the midrange was very warm and lifelike, and the tweets were very smooth and detailed. i regret selling them, but i needed the cash for the new baby. i am an extremely nitpicky listener, and i really couldn't think of anything bad to say about the Z's.

but finding a spot to hide the crossovers in a murcielago is no easy task. same thing in an mr2. the jetta was easy, the 540 bmw was easy. but some cars aren't //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I've got a box of dynamat xtreem left over from my other car. i'll probably order a roll of raamat too.

And i wouldn't know where to begin on a lambo... i'd be too scared of breaking clips or something. But i bet that was fun.

should i bi amp them? I plan to send them about 400 watts. what are the pros/cons? just tunability?

I think i'm pretty much sold on them now.

Now i just need to find a place to buy them.

good luck with that.

the main reason i was biamping them is because i was using factory locations, and with the 9855 in 3way mode, it gave me independant time alignment for the mids low int he doors, and the tweets in the sail panels to help get the soundstage where i wanted it to be. that and i already had the amps, i was originally running a 5.1 system, and using the GT20 on a boston pro 4.5 set as a center channel. i scrapped the 5.1 setup, ditched the rear speakers, and biamped the Z's. i don't know exactly how much power i was feeding the Z's, but it was enough to make them happy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You can get them there, but I have no clue if that is a good price or not.

For that kind of money, hopefully they sound stellar!

buy them from an authorized dealer, unless you don't care if you get a warranty or not... boston will NOT warranty anything bought online, unless it is from crutchfield. they're a brick and morter only company.

I love the set I'm currently running in my BMW 540, as said before they can get loud and still sound sweet doing it. I have no complaints what so ever as far as the sound quality. The x-over's are huge as stated, but seeing as how mine are mounted in the trunk it's really not a problem me. I've also got the Pro6.5's in the car as well and they are another sweet sounding pair as well....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i only have experience with the pro60, but they sound asesome and get loud no doubt. and only things i ever hear are how the z's are even better than the pros
