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

[VQ35max 10+ year member]

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

60 rms - DLS UP6 better.

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

This guy just does not listen, wow.

Erm, your shopping at Walmart for drivers? and you want to go with DLS drivers?

Man do yourself a favor..find an authorized dealer/installer for a brand and just stick with them...

Might cost you more in the beginning but it would save us from answering stupid questions.

listen what? I asking about speaker 150 w rms minimum.

and i dont want spent too much.

Speaker rated to 100 w rms designed to handle 100 watts. 99% goes to heat, exeding this means overheating. also diffosor can jump out.

also sensitivity very important, 60 rms with 88 db will never play loud.

What do you recommend me? take $75 100W speakers and run it on 150W?

or spend $300? am i does not listen?

no, just compare prices. I found that walmart not cheap.

if you think that my question stupid, why you answer?

find dealer? my vehicle does not fit any dealer shop. and i dont want pay twice or even more.

We're answering you're questions cause we are trying to educate you and help you out.

Did you ever stop and think maybe the 100w power rating a manufacturer assigns to a driver is below actual thermal and mechanical threshold due to them not wanting to deal with uninformed consumers who will end up blowing them by clipping the signal or placing them in a poorly designed box that leads to overexcursion?

I'm done in this thread.

Dude, you sound like a bloody retarted immigrant...

Your english is poor and your grammer is even worse...

Come on, I know the Canadian school system is a tad below most standards but which district kept him from the short bus?

Not even forgetting the fact, who gave you a license?

i'm with VQ, I am also done...

Yes, i understand, but if speaker with 100w rating can take 150w, than speaker with 150w rating can take 225 w.

why bloody?

I dont understand that you say, and what short bus are you talking about. and i dont know nothing about Canadian school system

Not even forgetting the fact, who gave you a license?

which one? driver licence? I bribed exaninator.

You are knocking the 720's did you even read the **** review's I posted. You seem to know it all so no need to start any more threads on here or even ask any more questions. You have more knowledge than anyone on here. Every time you get an answer you try to come up some lame brain idea why all the replies you recieve are not correct.

A door is not an enclosure. Not unless you are able to seal the entire **** door. Thats why a door is IB and the manufactures design their drivers as such.

The DLS are fine but you just do not listen or even try to learn from anyone. You should start your own forum where you can be the expert all the time, since you already know everything.

hmm.... maybe its vented box?

in other words i can install 6.5 door speaker anywhere?

I not even close to expert. i just start.

alex, you have a lot to learn in this hobby we call car audio. Right now you are a blind man walking in a forest. You have no clue where you are or what you're doing. This is quite obvious, so I suggest you first stop what you're doing and get your bearings.

First off, you'll have to learn some basic knowledge about speakers. Understand what they are and how they work. Understand the specs and what they mean. Right now, you have absolutely no clue about anything. DLS and Boss are on completely opposite sides of the spectrum from quality products to cheap junk. In your eyes, you can't see this. This is from a lack of knowledge.

I'll start you off with some basics.

Wattage ratings are meaningless in determining how good a speaker is. MAX wattage is absolutely meaningless and simply exists for marketing. RMS wattage is good, but it's only a measure of thermal power handling(ability for the speaker to dissipate heat. This says nothing about how the speaker sounds or even how loud it gets. The purpose of the wattage rating is to tell you which amp you should pair the speaker to. If a speaker is rated for 100w rms, you might want to look at amps that will output 100w rms to the speaker.

I suggest you head over to:

http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb3/showthread.php?t=262495

and start reading. Also hit up:

http://www.bcae1.com/

and

http://www.the12volt.com/

Spend a good month reading through everything.

Second, go out to all your local electronics stores and car audio shops and demo EVERYTHING. Get a feel for all the available products and how they perform/sound. Talk to the sales people, but take everything they say with a grain of salt. Most of what comes out of their mouths is complete B.S., however they may say something intelligent once in a while and you may learn something. I can not stress enough to take their words lightly. MUCH of the information you will receive is probably not true. With your lack of knowledge, you will not be able to distinguish fact from fiction though. The key here is to gain real word experience with the hardware and to get a taste of what's there. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING. Again, your goal is not to purchase hardware, just to experience them. I say don't buy because again you have no clue what you're doing yet and most everything at the store can be purchased far cheaper online anyways(think half price).

Come back in one month and post a thread. Until then, I highly suggest you stop right now and start learning the basics. Build up your knowledge and experience first.

french ****s lol

You dont like french? you just dont know how to properly cook them.

your city, Champaign, IL, looks like was founded by frenchs, maybe you have froggy blood too?

dont worry I am not french, I am russian and dont like french too. but I know them, you dont.

Dude don't get it started, this thread could explode into like 15+ pages if all the Frenchie haters hear about it.

how do you think, that nationality should i be to explode thread as much as possible?

alex, you have a lot to learn in this hobby we call car audio. Right now you are a blind man walking in a forest.

yes, you right.

first link not working, second link very-very nice, but i know all theoretical basics of electrical circuits and not only basics.

Right now, you have absolutely no clue about anything. DLS and Boss are on completely opposite sides of the spectrum from quality products to cheap junk. In your eyes, you can't see this. This is from a lack of knowledge.

if you read carefully I told first that boss is junk. just based on it price.

If a speaker is rated for 100w rms, you might want to look at amps that will output 100w rms to the speaker.

and you didnot say nothing about sensetivety, this parameter how loud speaker.

but, i cannot understand, DLS UP6 rated 150W and 88db, DLS MS6A(reference series) rated 100W, 92 db and CHEAPER. it meant MS6 2.5 times louder at same wattage?

Second, go out to all your local electronics stores and car audio shops and demo EVERYTHING. Get a feel for all the available products and how they perform/sound.

you know, very hard to find stand with DLS spekers, i know only bestbuy, but you know what junk they sell.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING.

too late, i already bought UP6. I dint think that I made big mistake.

Again, your goal is not to purchase hardware, just to experience them. I say don't buy because again you have no clue what you're doing yet and most everything at the store can be purchased far cheaper online anyways(think half price).

yes, everything comes from ebay.
