Hey guys, whats going on? all og my door speakers are factory. I just put in a new sony HU today, so now Im on the hunt for a Component System for the front doors to start with... So what do you guys recommend? My budget is about 100-150

 

cdt cl61's from thezeb.com

 

ant96gle got them, they sound bad *** for the price, even without an amp

 

get infinity its the stuff dreams are made of. might find kappas in your price but def get some reference at least

 

no not infininty those are egg shell speakers bro

 

egg shell? i've heard kappas are pretty strong

 

They crack like an eggshell.

Im not sure what dreams your having with Infinity, but if you demoed Rainbow,Arc,DLS,CDT,Diamond,Alumapro,etc you would wake up in a very wet bed.

 

If i had infinity i'd be having dreams of upgrading my system

 

Buahahahahahahaha

 

k im not pro- and won't ever enter a comp- but infinity is the best sound i've found for the price. im not rich either. its what i like so whatever

 

klisten to this man he knows his stuff, i just got cdt's running all around off my alpine hu 50x4... and they sound sick... i cat wait to amp.. i paid 209 from front and rears...

 

cdt cl61's..... cool .. so where are you guys mounting your tweeters, or are you replacing the factory ones in the pillar?

 

has any body heard cdt cl62? i see a set on ebay for 169

 

lol wet bed. if you dream of alpine you wont be able to afford to dream of an ending

 

Are you serious? Unless you are talking F-1 stauts, no that is not the case. If you start talking Brax, Rainbow Vanadium, THEN you won't be able to afford an ending. Regular Alpine is probably 4 or 3 on a 5-teir scale, 1 being the best.

 

I mounted mine in the stock location. aka the A piller, sounds fine to me..

 

dam is it that bad?

 

No, not at all! Alpine makes great equipment, but as with many thing with car audio, you get what you pay for. Also, many audio equipment companies offer many lines of equipment...Alpine too has base models all the way up to their uber-powerfurl F1 line. The CDT recommended by fellow member here would make a fine choice!

 

f1 line from alpine? dam never heard of it, im about to go check that out

 

F1 is Alpines highline. Its verey limited to the dealers that are allowed to stock/sell it. Extensive training courses as well for the dealers that do becomes F1 Status qualified.

lol f1 status qualified?? wtf? my dealer told me the same about eclipse amps, he was like were really not suppose to sell it to ppl like you to install only our employees are allowed to install them. but what the fawk i mean if its so good its suppose to be strong and durable right? i mean its only a ground power and remote, any tard could screw that in

 

Theres a difference between an Alpine dealer and an F1 dealer. Not all Alpine dealers are allowed the F1 line. In fact the majority of them do not have it.

Anyone can install Eclipse amps, but like Arc,Rainbow,Alumapro,DA,etc...you limit your warranty. 1 year if the buyer installs it, three years if dealer installed. With DA now its Lifetime if Dealer installed.

--Don

 

hhm lifetime warranty? o shiet im about to swithc to that. the thing is i heard one of the DA subs at a meet and it sounds like tinsel slapping

 

Which car was this? of the 4 years dealing with DA, Ive never heard that problem.

--Don

 

you rarely hear tinsel slapping from inside a sedan...

 

i dont have alpine F1s but i do run alpine type r components up front and type r coax in the rear, im happy with the sound...its also amplified

 

Alpine makes good HU's and the f1 processors are amazing. not too fond of the subs or components or amps.

 

type R is ok if you like ****. but i guess i dont have room to talk cuz im an infinity man. i've never even heard of these brands-and i thought i knew a lil on car audio

 

so whats the deal with Imaging Systems

 

??

Kinda vauge, but I can try...musci at home will sound the best because it is coming to you equally from both left and right sides for the most part, whereas in a car you have most of the music coming to you from the passenger side. So when 'imaging' the soundstage you are essentially setting where the music is coming from. Is that it or are you talking about something else>?

 

i also have alpine interior speakers. btw the car was packetattacks at a meet, it was when the trunk was open.

 

oh ok ... i was on thezeb and i saw these imaging systems ... just wondering

 

Rishis car shouldnt have Any tinsel lead slap at all. I think your hearing things. The M6 MKIIs had no issues whatsoever to my knowledge

 

lol, i know but Rishis setup is sooo clean i like it alot. but there was a stinging noise when the bass hit

 

Thank you sir,

the sound your hearing is prolly cause theyre Aluminum cones and your not used to that sound. Just a guess

 

exactly... that boy doesnt know a tinsel slap sound when compared to a blown kicker sub.

 

Very true, also know as the guy that ground an amp to an amp.

 

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!! you think thats bad, i had a guy try to power his amp from the cigarette lighter.

 

As stupid as it may be, at least he was still trying the right thing, just a Really Wrong source.

 

think thats funny that was me it was an accident the ground wire came loose, and was grounded to the amp. i heard mad staticy mumbling noise. like a brrrrrrrrr and some words. but whatever amp sold sub sold
