[QUOTE="Undisputed King, post: 8049119, member: 603818"] Well I took a chance and I picked up the Soundstresm Rubicon RBC.6 component set. I picked these up from auto club for 68 bucks shipped. I searched and searched and found nothing on these. So I decided I would put some information on here about them. Well first off these look to be well built. Very heavy and heavy duty cast basket. They are a bit deep at 2.38" and the crossovers are a bit on the big side. the magnet/basket assembly is wide which makes it harder than normal to make fit. Other than that I have much positive things to say about them. By no means am I an audiophile, I just like LOUD while maintaining some clarity. Anyway I have these powered off a Soundstream tarantula series amp with 100wrms x 4 at 4 /omega off a Pioneer P9400bh. Even though they are rated at 150wrms these components sound awesome at 100wrms. They get loud and seem to have good midbass at the moment even though I cant say for certain since my doors are not deadened yet since im trying to fix the problems im having with the window tracks on this civic. The tweeters are a bit overpowering at the moment, I have only tried two of the three tweeter attenuations. -0db and -3db but I think I will need to go down to -6db for my tastes as I like soft highs.
