Derek, yep got them a few days ago! I ran them in a friends prefabbed box for about a day before I wanted to make a new one, so they're in the basement for the time being.

Rick - I am running Two Alumapro Alchemy RXs off of an Arc Audio 2500XXK in 2-ohm. It ran me a little under $1k for everything. My car is sound-deadened to hell and back, but 100sqft. ought to sufficently provide enough weight to provide and immediate response in SPL increase. The Alchemy's RXs are a top-of-the-line SQ sub (one of many out there, mind you).

I am just about finishing up peicemealing a DynAudio 360 3-way set, sounds fantastically loud with metal. They are designed to provide a very smooth, mellow response, which I thought was needed. I had titanium tweets in before and though my easr were going to explode...mind you, the response was EXCELLENT, but a little tough on my easrs.

[QUOTE=Ricksi30]

Does anyone run CDT comps and how do you like them??



[/QUOTE

I am running CDT EF-61CF with the image enhancement tweets and the upgraded 560 crossover. I love the sound of these speakers, and i have found they sound better with metal, as opposed to rap.

i'll sell you my 2-15" eclipse TI and box for 1000$ I promise these subs are in top notch shape, but because of the opening of the trunk i simply can not get a bigger box. the box is a sealed box approximatly 3.02 cubic feet. please note if you want these subs i hope you have a powerfull amp.

Me personally in my maxima i have two 15's in a 12.5 cubic ft box in my trunk. So in my case spl was more important than trunk space. Believe me it is pretty loud although I feel I have some room for improvement. Ive been meaning to get some pics up for a while now but have been out of town a lot. I'll try to get some by the weekend.

I'm hoping to get to put 2 15's in my Max this summer, but it would take the right deal on what is now some rare subs, and it's kinda low on my priority list right now, but it could happen.

No enclosure of course

Image Dynamics IDW's. They were made in 15's and 18's. Very efficient SQ subs, rebadged proaudio stuff.... Haven't been made in a while, but rumor is they're being re released. I wouldn't do it unitl I think ALL other aspecs of my system are up to snuff and done. Every once in a while you'll see some pop up on Ebay, but I'm hoping to get some new ones if Image re-releases. 15's or 18's hanging (glassed) from the rear deck would be cool.

All of you are on the I-Hate-JL-Audio bandwagon here on this forum.
You guys are only about Rainbow speakers and Arc Audio gear.

Why do you so quickly dismiss JL Audio?
I can tell before hand the answers im going to get.
"You can get other brands for cheaper that are just as good"
