Speaker's sound???? - Page 2

BobChestnut · #16 05-09-2005, 05:05 PM

yeah kinda
So ther is no real difference in the making of the speaker its just the difference in what sound is pu tto the speaker? I was thinking that the component's had a different type of voice coil that made them better somehow.
Yeah i had a little comp rage too, i'm just sick of everyone telling me that my stuff is shit so yeah.

Well, components are generally better quality. The main thing with components is creating a good sound stage. Being able to put the tweets where ever lets you experiment with how the sound reaches your ears. This is usually much more important for the front speakers.

Feel free to add your insight, other more experienced peeps, cuz I'm still a noob with this sort of thing.

The way everyone talks about components it makes them sound like their built some amazing way but if its just the fact that they have removable mountable tweeters there's not much special to them besides the crossovers. I have a that pair of 6x9's that have crossovers not as good i supose and romovable tweeters and they are damn good sounding, great lows and awesome punches. I guess what ever saves me money.

I wish some other people on here would help me out a little bit. I don't know everything about how speakers are made, I just know that components generally perform better than coaxials with an amp.

I hear ya i'm a complete noob to some of this stuff although you give me some tools and tell me to wire soemthing up i'm shure i can do it just as good as anyone elese

well, at their heart coaxs and components aren't that much different like you're seeing. With components you have more freedom with the tweeter placement, and components also have a MUCH better crossover (coaxs typically have a 1st order highpass on the tweet and nothing on the mid, yuck). Components are obviously inherently better that coaxs because of the freedom with placement and the better crossovers, but the speakers themselves are basically the same. BUT, because all else being equal, components will sound better by nature of their design, companies focus all of their time and money on improving and perfecting their component sets, the coaxs are basically thrown together on the side to appease the masses. The component sets will be designed better, have higher quality parts, have no hole in the midbass taking away cone area, have more freedom with tweeter placement, and actually have a crossover, not a crappy cap in series with the tweet.

Sounds like overpowering to me.

Ok, I havn't read all the replies, and I don't intend to.

Audiobahn full range speakers are rated as pairs, so the pair of 6X9's you have is rated at 90 RMS EACH.

Diceman, Audiobahn amps, while not the best, are not as bad as you make them out to be. The first amp I ever bought, which I still run my front speakers with is and A6601t, it does rated power easily, doesn't get hot, and with a little flat black paint, wouldn't look too bad... the only problem I've ever had with it is it doesn't like to turn on when my trunk is extremely humid, and electronics don't like moisture so that's acceptable. It always turns on, and works properly.

Audiobahn amps are ok... audiobahn speakers, from my personal experience, suck sweaty balls.

Well if you have run into speakers rated as a pair i don't know where u saw that. I know that i don't have the highest quality stuff in my pickup but what i have suits me. I have recently got it tuned to where i relaly like it. I am running a powerakoustic amp the ov2-820 gothic series. Its a good amp from what i've seen of it the only down side is that it takes a while to turn on, might be because of size idk. But it puts 180 per channel at 4 ohms, and i have the gain literly all the way up and the speakrs arn't being overpowered their nice and loud and sound good. The rep that everyone give audiobahn on the net these speakers shure suprise a lot of people around here. I don't know much about this stuff and i know what people say, but i also know what i'm hearing, and its not bad.
Thank you for your input, who knows mabe audiobahn is getting better.

no, they are not.
here is where I saw it:
"Q: Are your power ratings for your speakers and components listed as per pair or per side?
A: Our ratings for speakers and component sets are rated in RMS per pair. This means each side can handle half the rated power. Our subs power ratings are listed as total for both voice coils."

that's a good way to blow the amp and/or the speakers (if you haven't already)

whats the deal with the gain? what does it actually do? i assume it controls the about of power going to the speakers, if so how do you know where to set it? like on mine, i have to guess cuz its jsut dashes, there no numbers.

L|_|da · #29 05-10-2005, 03:37 PM

damn nvm, i got owned. ignor that last post.

BobChestnut · #30 05-10-2005, 05:09 PM

Well i exagrated on the all the way up sry its about as high as the amp should go. Now about the speakers only taking a cirtin ammount of power idk abou thtat cause i'm pushing 180 and they take it fine no distortion no blows???
