Should I swap my mids from my CDT's with XXX 6.5's, or go with some Rainbow components.

Ha, ya well im 17 with no job . But an Audiophile will find the ways needed to get what they want HAHA.

[balls_to_the_wall]

Hell, you just got those CDT's!!!!

lol

If you change out the mids, hit me up, I might find a use for them.

[balls_to_the_wall]

NG should be able to pop in and answer q's about the XXX mids. I'm not real sure, but you might consider the Extremis or the AA mids too...

[Mannyb18b]

Don't worry it wont be anytime soon! I'm very happy with the CDT's. Guess what my next decks goin to be?....Denon Z1. my wallet keeps tryin to run away evertime i mention it.

Get Ascendants New 6.5's for $35...i know i seem like im an ascendant whore right now, but they are running the best deals. $35 and as a guy over on SSA put it when someone said there is a reason adire's Koda's cost more.

"Not really, The Koda's took more to smell, that's about it"



XXX mids are said to be iffy on SQ once they hit 800ish Hz...so horns or 3 way set up are usually required for good SQ.

anyone got any experience with Rainbow

[PaulD]

try a higher line from CDT. I have the HD-52's and they sound great - there is even an output on the crossover for a set of "image tweeters" to put on the dash

His have that too...

[PaulD]

I just ordered the image tweets ... the HRTF curve was messing up my sound and not really lifting the image that much.

[Mannyb18b]

let me know how those work out...

You can't just drop the XXX6.5's in place with the CDT xover...

You'll need an active xover, the XXX6.5's are good up to 1.2kHz @24dB/oct

I'd look into the AA Poly Mids as a drop in...
