anyways, why would you mention $8,000.00 speakers?
diamonds are kick *** speakers and don't hate on every other speaker out there because you were sold on one brand.....
also please don't talk bad about ny96maxse or wicked will get mad......

Who's hatten'? I'm not. I've said that all brands mentioned are great speakers. But it seems other are. And I'm sorry if I came across harsh in my last comment, but with a comment like "gimme a break, Boston Acoustic Pro Series $hit on Focal, Dynaudio and Rainbow? speakers." what do you expect? I never said that Diamond, CDT, Boston were $hit. I recommend all of them quite a bit. But they are not at the top of the food chain so to speak. The High end models are Focal, Dynaudio, and the newer brand Rainbow. That's not putting down the other brands mentioned. It's like saying that Maxima's are at the top of the food chain. They aren't. They're a great car. I love mine. But it doesn't mean that they are the top of their class. I consider Focal and Dyn as the BMW and Mercedes, where Diamond, MB, CDT, and Boston are the Maxima. And the comment he basicly made was " Maxima's $hit on The 330 and E420" It came across as an uneducated comment that a person made with experience with only one brand, not having a knowlege of anything else out there. Again, I'm sorry if I came across wrong in my last post.

your music preference...
I've heard most of the speakers you guys are talking about, but they're all good at producing different types of music.
For example, the diamonds and MB quarts tend to give that bright accoustic sound, and dynas, focals, and boston's have pretty hard hitting midbass...although I've never had the opportunity to listen to rainbows. I say, go listen to them and choose. I like them all...For $400 you can purchase nice mids...
Good luck

Thanks for the advice!
I actually brought the dimond 650s Hex compoent set and it sound very good.
Now, the only thing I am worry about is the rear deck speakers. Should I keep the factory speakers or get a new set for the rear. What kind of speakers is good for rear??
Oh..I had the sony xploder 75 x 4 channal AMP.

A/D/S is right up there with Focal, Dynayudio, but not Rainbow. A/D/S is EXTREMELY! underrated.
Can't you tell I'm a proud owner of a 336im set

i must say, mb quarts, bostons, are great speakers, for consumer use, but for competition quality, i must say, FOCALS and dynaudio are very well known for clarity

Do you have any idea how many systems with MB Quarts have won IASCA competitions and received excellent reviews from magazines (like CSR's Sound Check)? Thousands.

yes i am aware that many competitors have won iasca competitions using mb quarts compenents. However, i'm just saying dynaudio, focal utopia line are still amoungst one of the higher end competition grade speakers. i'm not at all saying mbquart or boston is junk, just saying that they are in different tiers.

All good, just a few definitely sound better than others!
Hey Jon, ever get the MD 140's installed? I still want to hear how that system sounds with a 600 Hz crossover point. There was a good point above about difficulty finding a place to listen to the best speakers. I have only found one place that has a/d/s on a board and the shop didn't have the board set up correctly, so they sounded like crap. Boston makes decent speakers but the current pro series dies in the upper midrange. No female vocals or ripping guitar. The MB Q series does a little bit better job but it could all be in the crossover. The Focal and Dynaudio speakers are definitely better than either. And I have never heard a bad comment about the DA's in my car. 2 pair DA 500 HEX, 2 Pair DA 600 HEX, 1 pair silk tweets, 1 pair DA 8.6 HEX. All actively crossed over. But I can't compare this system to store systems because the crossover and gains are all set by ear - my ear. I can honestly say I have never heard a better use of 600 watts for front stage - but I have never heard another system with this much power for the front stage.

Re: All good, just a few definitely sound better than others!
God I still want a pair, and since I finally got a job Thursday(!!) and I start tommorrow, hopefully I can get a pair one of these days. What I'd like to do is to get the new TubeDriver Blue, and feed it to the 140's and tweets, take the 2 existing Tubes, and feed them on to the 2 woofers, and feed another amp (Thinking ESX)to the Sub, at around 500 watts. we'll see.

Sounds like a plan. I've been too busy working and vacationing to do much with my car this summer. But I have to start working on it again to be sure it's done before the temp drops again. I initially was just test fitting the eight's in the rear doors and then I got lazy and never completed the full install. I'm surprised they haven't fallen out. Good thing they are high passed at 60 Hz.

Ya, it's been to friggen hot here in Tampa to do much. I finally built a pair of fiberglass pods to replace the stock mounts this weekend, and I have the driver's side done, and just have to do one more thing to the passenger side one and it will be compleate. They sound great though. They've been the best baffles I've built yet, so they'll be keepers.

Well, I can see that you have absolutely no knowlege of car OR home audio. Boston Pro only wish they were as good as Focal and Dyns. And you've not heard of Rainbow? Their reference series 2 way is $8k. I'm not saying Boston are bad. I think they're as good as Diamond and CDT, but come on. And you're an installer? Where at Best Buy?

Wel, if he was talking about speakers only in the $400 range, then he shouldnt have made a comment including Focal and Dynaudio, as both are well above the $400 mark.....
