Re: Opinions On New System

Well Id rather wait longer and go all the way. This is not really my first time workin with a system, ive done installs in my neighbors and friends cars like for 1.5 years now. ITs just that it hasnet been this tricked out, usually just the hu, sealed subs, and coax speakers. I dont want to regret my purchase, and pay more to get beetter after some time, plus im gonna take my time on it, im only 15 and a half and prolly wont be able drive the car until im like 17. I bought this as a project car so i can carry time out as long as i need to. Im just trying to plan out everything to be able to be able to save up more and more. Plus i live somewhere where the people get really jelaous of what you have and try to beat u by buying like 100 subs to put in the back of their escalade with their parents money. (LOL ALLITLE EXAGERATION ON THE 100 SUBS). I dont like to be beat! Ive decided to wait it out now until hopefully the xxx components will come out by the end of this year. Im might get two sets and buil kicker panels. Till then ill just be workin on the exterior of the car ... ANYONE HAVE AN ESTIMATE, like WHAT MONTH, THE XXX COMPONENTS WILL BE OUT, AND PLEASE DONT TELL ME IT MIGHT BE MONTHS, I ALREADY KNOW THAT. LOL

Re: Opinions On New System

Hell no better to go all out the first time instead of upgrading.... btw I'd go Koda's over HD62's reviews say the midbass is mucho better.

Also, DO NOT put components in the rear...fucks up your imaging! Nice powered components up front will be enough... IF YOU INSIST on rear fill get some coaxials...peace

Re: Opinions On New System

Why the hell is putting the active crossover( using the xxx 6.5s and lpg tweets complicated)? I mean sure it takes time, but its not hard or impossible, i do have time on my hands and want this system to be best, and i dont want to think to myslef l8er, what would have the system been like if i got the xxx's? It really doesnt matter to me if it take a month to acuratelly tune them, its not like ill be driving it anytime soon. All i need to know now is out of the three, koda compnents, cdt hd's and xxx 6.5s, which have the best quality in midrange area? which one out of the three is the best?

Re: Opinions On New System

Well, since this is a huge IN THE FUTURE THREAD...that has NOTHING to do with anything at the immediate time (since you're 15...and don't has SHIT TONS of money) then it doesn't matter. Go with whatever you feel comfortable with.

In all honesty, I'm sure by the time you ACTUALLY get around to this stuff...there will be something else EVER BETTER out. So keep that in mind. peace

Re: Opinions On New System

Ya well i took that into consideration to and i understand where ur coming from, but i doubt much will change by the end of this year/beggining of next. If you havent noticed, production on anything these days is being constanteley delayed and delayed and set back for some odd reason. I just wanna make sure which brands and what products of theirs will suit me best. I actually like to compare the old models to the new and see if the new ones of certain products are acutally better, because nowadays manufactururs, as i said earlier, delay thing, and once then really come around to production, they wanna zip through it no matter wut just to get the product on the shelf.

I wouldn't be so sure

Adire is supposedly working on 2 separate component sets to replace the kodas (one of which is supposed to compete with the xxx set, maybe a 4ohm extremis?). Plus Ascendant has a 6.5 that should prove to be a worthy competitor, and I'm sure there will be more on top of that.

Another company is also coming out with a KILLER component set (which i even had the pleasure of fondling in my hands)

TONS of stuff is happening this year...TONS!!!!!!

NG

Also, when i talked to adire...no plans on 4ohm extremis as of yet.
