Speaker's sound????

[BobChestnut]

I will like to take back a lot of things that i have siad. I am a stubborn person and i was wrong here. The 90rms X 2 is correct and i had everything set up wrong. It only took the smell of my speakers burning up to realize this i went to the site on how to ajust the gain level. I found out that i was running things completely wrong. i jsut wish i would have knowen that it was 90 per speaker earlier. sr20 i'm sorry if i was an ass i just hope that you are nice enough to forget what i said.

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.

There are some COAX speakers out there that are just as good as high end componet sets. Like the PPI line I sell. You can get a nice 6x9 that comes with a passive crossover and a built in tweeter protection unit. Also, the tweets tilt and swival which is what really makes them work well.

We all have to learn somewhere, I had no idea what I was doing the first time I had a system, everything was set up horribly. Luckily I didn't damage anything, but the guy I sold it to blew the subs about 6 months later. Now 5 years later (yeah I know I'm young) I've finally started to learn. Building a few of your own amps really teaches you what everything is and exactly how everything works. Once you know that, figuring out how to set it correctly is a piece of cake, it's convincing others that they might have something set incorrectly that's tough. Normally people don't listen until half of the equipment in their car is blown, you caught on faster than most, and you didn't damage anything either (well, hopefully not)

Wowzers...

[BobChestnut]

Well i did damage i jsut hope the damage that i did was very minimal. I am soon gonna buy some new speakers to put in my pickup because of the extra power that i was avilable If there is any one out there that could give me so ideas i'll listen. I'm looking for something that runs about 80-100 rms per speaker, Just some suggestions. I'm also looking for the price ragne max of 75$. I know thats kinda limiting but there should be somethign good out there for that.

Thanks to all that will help.

Hye could any one tell me if the alpin spr-17ls components are any good. I want to buy them and was wondering if any one knew them.?

[Diceman83]

Ok, those alpines will probably sound great, but where are you getting them for 75 bucks?? I doubt there's much in that price range for that budget that's rated for more than 50 watts RMS. You could try emailing Don at Island Sound ([email protected]) for some prices on CDT comps... those are really nice for a lot less than those alpines. You might find a good coax pair as well within your price range.

Good luck!

PS. Delete the copies of this question you asked in the other thread... people may just be ignoring it because they're sick of seeing it.
