[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8592332, member: 650438"] I've had the ES -06 and es 02 before and in every crossover point and slope configuration, treated doors, EQ curve, on axis, 30 degrees off axis, tried positioning the driver in every nook and cranny of the vehicle you can possibly think of they ****** complete @ss compared to every other driver i put in with nothing else changing but a driver switch and a basic tune, almost every other driver did better without extensive tuning in both sound quality and output. Spent over 40 hours of tuning with , adjusting and positioning and the CDT were just not performing at all. Even PA mids easily outdo the cdt in sound quality, didnt take me anywhere near as long to achieve great soundstage, clarity, detail and presence and midbass strength. I even put it in a bookshelf cabinet with their proper crossovers and they sounded worse than the dayton b652 airs that were originally inside... on home theater receiver power which is hard to swallow since a lot of things sound better on my receiver(with dual 32 bit high grade DACs and very beefy power supply and amplifier circuit) in a proper enclosure than my vehicle. I honestly expected more out of cdt for the price they charge. The performance just aint there, just a simple direct driver swap its a massive difference in sound quality and loudness even free air. Those ampere dream series ****** too no offense, not just experienced way better products that have night and day performance capability difference. I'll wait to hear the "installer error" comments lmfao. [/QUOTE]
