Looking good tcguy

 

What a dick move

 

thanks guys!

these things sound amazing! they totally destroy the last mids i was using! $90 well spent!

 

old mids on the left................................................................................................................................................. new ones on the right.

 

Hey man are they worth the $90? I'm ordering my 4.150 in the next day or two and I was gonna pick these ID's up off hess while he's still got them since they seem to be a great deal! I was thinking about just sticking with the RSD's active for a while and hiding the ID's from myself for a few months so I can really notice the upgrade lol...

Are they worth it though? Do they hit harder/get louder? That's the most important part for me... I CRAVE more midbass!

 

copied from my thread on caraudio.com...

so since i have no life i went for a drive and listened, sat in a parking lot for a little bit and listened to them pretty loudly, then drove home playing them a little more. so i probably have about 4 hours on them already even though its only day one. they sound really really good, i can even tell an increase in mid-bass already. i can't imagine what its going to be like in a week or two since everybody says they need a lengthy break in.

certain music i almost couldn't stand to listen with the rsd mids, no matter what i did i could never completely tame the mid-range and i always blamed the recording but i guess i was wrong. of course some recording just plain old suck but anyway. with these i haven't found anything yet that sounds harsh or edgy and thats with the EQ pretty much flat, and i sampled quite a bit of music on them. i definitely wouldn't call these "laid back" as they can have quite a kick to them when it comes to drums, but the mid-range is soooo buttery smooth.

really awesome mids, especially for 90 bucks!

for you kidwolf, also from my thread on caraudio.com...

the mid-bass is very good, really really punchy. and i am sure it will get even better since everybody claims they do after some break in.

they are definitely worth the 90 bucks. no regrets here.

i did shim them out with a 1/4" ring on each door. but a single 3/4" baffle should do. i don't think they will hit the windows or anything. but i tried simply taking the rsd's out and putting in the ID's as is and i guess the cut out is just slightly bigger so i made a pair of rings real quick with a jig saw just cause it was easier.

 

nice, im stoked to hear my mach5 mli65s. still waiting on my damn subs, blahblah. oh. this is matt62485 from diyma

 

how do the mach 5's sound? good to see that you are on this forum as well.

 

when i read this i thought u meant cheap weed.

 

i don't understand.

 

these mids kick some serious ___!!

 

hmmmm

I was looking at some of these drivers

Have you ever head the CDTs ES line?

I currently have them in the doors.

The doors are deadend and the mid is great.


I think I could get some more out of em but im only giving them like 60-70 watts per chan for the mid and tweet.

I can feel some nasty kick say like on Lollipop. The entire song has a bass kick and I can feel it in my pants with the sub off

I cant wait to add my Rockford Power T3002. 200rms per side

anywho,
can you compare em to anything but the Phoenix Gold?

 

lmfaoooo

 

hmm that pic makes em look like they are terribly off center =(
