What's the point of the CDT M6?

[KojiroTakenashi 10+ year member]

I'm kind of curious as to their logic with this thing...sure, it's the bess bass response ever out of a 6 incher, but to GET that response, you need to have it in a box!

For the amount of money and the amount of work involved, isn't one of their subs simply "cheaper", both money and install-wise? I'm kind of failing to see the logic there...

Pics??

Also, if this is a door speaker. Which I am assuming it is b/c it is in the speaker section of the site. I've seen ppl who sealed up their entire door and made a sort of enclosure out of it using MDF...I've even seen ported doors. lol I looked for the link but unable to find it. It was a car on car domain that had them done to it.

Some vehicles dont have room for a sub. Or the people who drive it need the trunk for something else like strollers or tools.

If you've got the need for strollers, then why do you have the need for a bass response down to 10hz? What, you want to kill your baby?

Edit: Oh, and according to the spec sheet, optimum response takes a box size roughly that of an 8 incher...Although I suppose turning the door into the box is more to the point.

its designed as a better midbass response driver than the HD-6 or ES-600 give. It can have the same range a larger 8in driver gets. Its quite nice as I'm using a set.

 

[KojiroTakenashi 10+ year member]

Well...I mean the range of response looks nice and shiny, but is the accuracy of that response as good as or better than the other drivers? I mean, the thing sure is a good few dB less sensitive...

Just because you want freq response down low doesnt mean you have to play it super loud. Im thinking these are made for a sq setup not spl //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

People with kids still enjoy good sound.

I was talking about SQ.

About the kids, I'd think subsonic frequencies would be dangerous to a baby or small child, considering that 11hz is actually capable of sending most people into convulsions...or at least give them some pretty serious nausea.

 

[Railrocker 10+ year member]

I dont think your right on that isnt 10hz inaudible. At 10 Hz the sub would be barely pumping you could count the strokes.

 

[KojiroTakenashi 10+ year member]

It registers as inaudible, but that doesn't mean you can't still *feel* it. After roughly 25hz, bass tends to become something you feel with your sense of touch. The 11hz thing is...wierd. Does something with your brain/nervous system, is my understanding. It's the basis of the "Sick Sticks" from that movie Minority Report.

Edit: Again, I wouldn't want anything under 25hz to be going through a kid anyway. The sound waves aren't going to just disappear because you can't hear them.

Just because people have children doesn't mean you can have a nice system, you just don't play it when they are in the car. I always turn my sub off when my daughter is in the car. But on my way to work or school, thats when you can let it go full tilt.

 

[KojiroTakenashi 10+ year member]

True, but how would you 'turn off' the low notes on the M6 if it was set up in a conventional midwoofer setup?

 

[T3mpest 10+ year member]

Sure 11hz at 130 decibels might hurt you, but even a standard driver has SOME output at 11hz, it may only be a decibel, or fraction of one, but there's still output. In this case a M6 has enough bass to integrate into frontstage, without the need for a sub in a SQ setup, a far cry from enough to hurt a child..........

My understanding is that this thing has already hurt a lot of small children.
