SOUNDSTREAM TRC.6N 6½" TARANTULA vs. DLS UP6 2-Way 6.5'

[alex6999 10+ year member]

I want to make quality and very load system.

First i going to buy DLS UP6 - 150 RMS (208+29shipping)

and choose power accoustic OV2-1250 amp. its deliver 220 x 2 at 4 ohms.

but.... now i found SOUNDSTREAM TRC.6N 6½" TARANTULA

200 RMS!!!!! ($140+25)

and want it, but i know that cheap amp lie, and real power of my amp 150*2, not 220.

what to do?

If i will keep my amp for future midbass and will buy poweraccoustik OV2-1800(300 rms * 2) and tarantula speakers, will my system louder than DLS UP6 + OV2-1250. louder means without speaker damages.

DLS very serious company, and will no lie about RMS power, but i dont know much about powerstream, and probably TRC.6N will be damaged with 200 RMS.

need advice. thanks

DLS and Soundstream speakers are polar opposites. Not sure how you narrowed your choices down to these two.

 

[alex6999 10+ year member]

i narrowed choice by maximum RMS power. 150 rms minimum

why this speakers polar opposites?

PS: i found in ebay BOSS BLX6 6.5" 2-Way 450W BLADE EXXTREME Series Component SPEAKERS

225 RMS power ($25+25ship) but i didnot trust to this RMS for this money.

Basically DLS is an SQ speaker and Soundstream is just mainstream, haven't heard them but I would guess they get decently loud and probably don't sound too bad.

Boss is crap.

You can't make your decisions based on RMS power. Check this thread for some respected speaker companies that make nice components: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=272594

How much money are you willing to spend on the front speakers?

That is mainstream?

you frase confuse me.

I know, I will never buy boss, but I need balanced SQ and minimum 150 RMS.

Some speaker from this list too cheap -> suspicious.

Good question. cannot answer for it

DLS UP6 - 150 RMS = $237 total - reasanable price. i think it maximum.

but.... if somebody offer me DLS with 200 RMS for $300 i will but it.

SOUNDSTREAM TRC.6N 6½" TARANTULA 200 RMS for $165 - price looks better.

cool color or multicolor LED illumination - asset, but not big, i can do external illumination.

PS: why nobody make 2 ohm speakers?

 

[VQ35max 10+ year member]

Soundstream is mainstream in the sense that their speakers aren't typically used in SQ applications. I haven't personally heard any, but I'd guess they're similar to other offerings from companies like Pioneer, Alpine, JBL, Polk, etc.

Price doesn't necessarily correlate to performance. Being on a car audio forum I would figure you already knew this and weren't a lemming like the general consumer.

Get RMS rating out of your head. My Cadence front speakers are rated at like 50 or 75 watts, but I'm giving them 150w a piece with no problems. Don't assume the factory power rating is the maximum you can run to the speakers.

There are a few 2 ohm speakers on the market, but 4 ohm speakers dominate. Look into Image Dynamics CXS62 if you need a 2ohm component set.

so... you recomend me to choose DLS UP6?

is it possible to buy fake from power seller with 4301 feedback on ebay?

And what is the difference betweeb UP6 and MS6A?

first 150 rms and 88db, second 100 rms and 92db

but i heard that i will not hear difference.

what about DIAMOND AUDIO S600s 6.5" HEX, 170 rms - $268 ?

Price doesn't necessarily correlate to performance. Being on a car audio forum I would figure you already knew this and weren't a lemming like the general consumer.

I will newer believe that good speaker cost $50

buy yes, $200 can be better than $500.

good assurance factor, but it can vary between same speakers.

which one i can found on ebay with price around $200, with RMS around 150, SQ preferably.?

my amp deliver more power, 280 instread of 220 rms per channel

I'm not familiar with DLS' speaker line too well, so I don't know the difference between the UP6 and MS6A, or whether counterfeit samples exist.

I never claimed a 'good' speaker costs $50. And 'good' is relative, a Pioneer REV will certainly sound better than a stock factory speaker to the general consumer, so to that person the REV will be a great speaker. For someone who is exposed to $500+ speakers and has an ear for acoustical differences the REV will be a bad speaker. With that said the PG Rsd, Cadence CWM-6, and CDT CL-S60A are all good component sets for under $100 that I would recommend.

Yes, power rating overhead will vary between manufacturers, with voice coil size playing an important role. Here is a novel idea for you, try to search the forum and see what other people are running to their speakers and that will give you a good idea how much the speaker you are looking to buy can take.

I don't know of any 2 ohm component sets for $200.

i dont like CWM-6, yes its looks good before $100 but i need something powerfull.

PG Rsd and CDT CL-S60A not found on ebay. this only one source for me.

i found CADENCE 6x9 600w COMPETITION - $199, it says

IASCA TURKEY last week where Cadence took 3 x First Place Trophies and 4 x 2nd Trophies including loudest 2 woofer vehicle which hit 168.3dB

maybe i need to buy this one, put it to box end enjoy? Anybody hear it?

I can only install it to boxes, I driving truck and its not nine truck, if i drill holes, i will be requred to leave speakers there.

What do you mean you're going to put them into a box? You mean fabricate some kick panels? 6x9's are not recommended by most audiophiles. Stick to 6.5" mids.

What do you mean by "need something powerful" when you mentioned the CWM-6? They can take 150wrms easily, possibly more but I don't want to risk blowing mine.

Let me ask you what high-end component sets have you even heard before? You seem deadset on throwing a lot of power to your front speakers, but from all your posts your the quintessential n00b and don't have a clue what a nice comp set with 150wrms can sound like.

To give you an answer, if you want something "powerfull" get some Morel Elates and give them 300+w a side and call it a day.

box, enclosure... like for sub.

rms rating - power when spaeker guaranteed will not be damaged

Alpine SPR-17S - 110 RMS - nothing especial.

Pioneer - TS-C160R - 60 RMS - nice but small RMS rating

Sony - XSHF137 - scrap.

all of them from bestbuy(scrap electronics seller number one)

how much it costs?

You cannot go wrong with the DLS.IMO The SoundStream are junk, the Cadence are decent.IMO

In your price range--

Pioneer 720's-You can find these for $250.00

Link to a long review from tons of people on the Pioneer. http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7302

These have also been reviewed by CA&E and passed with flying colors.

Also look at the PPI 356CS I have not heard these but they have been highly recommended many times. You can find them for $200-$250.

PG Ti Elite if you still find them, woofersect.com had them for $299.00. Rebadged Morel.

Others to look at Boston Acoustic, MB Quartz all in your price range. The POLK SR if you can get a deal on them usually going for around $400 or so.

PG RSd-Yes they are on ebay, all over the **** place. For price range from $90-$200 these are the top dog.IMO

99% of car audio speakers are not designed for boxed enclosure (Unless we are talking subs) they are designed to run IB. There are exceptions like the CDT HD M6, ES-06+ ect.

Again get RMS out of your head for basing your decision on why to buy a specific set of comps. Again not be an *** but all you have to do is search on here and you will find a ton of info.

You cannot go wrong with the DLS.

OK, thanks, i will buy DLS UP6

Pioneer 720's-You can find these for $250.00

more expensive that DLS, just 50 rms and just 88 db

PPI 356CS You can find them for $200-$250.

60 rms - DLS UP6 better.

PG Ti Elite if you still find them, woofersect.com had them for $299.00. Rebadged Morel.

this website too expensive, more expensive than even walmart(compared by lighting audio sub)

door works like enclosure.

6*9 speakers ans freeair subs use trunk as enclosure.

CDT HD M6 looks good, but too expensive, i thinking about DLS RW6 as midrange.

Again get RMS out of your head for basing your decision on why to buy a specific set of comps. Again not be an *** but all you have to do is search on here and you will find a ton of info.

thanks, i already read all topics with DLS UP6 in it. I will take it.
