loud and low Unregistered guest | groundshaker i just interested in knowing what your goin to do with those subs. ported or sealed and what enclosure volume. i have just one power HX2 15 that i got for $300 and i have to say its very disapointing. Its litterally an overbuilt piece of crap they designed it so poorly that you get terrible lead slap on the cone. it accually will start to sand away the paper cone which could be a very big problem later. anyway it not to hard to fix but even when you do the SQ is crap and spl isn't that good either. also there wonderful 18.5 pound magnet is WAY overdone and there mostly for look. if you haven't bought them yet i would very highly recommend you look around for the money you get get a hell of a lot better. even half price there $300 and you can get an Adire Brahma for about that with 28mm of Xmas instead of 19mm Xmas. A huge diff in resulting spl and the brahmas have awsome SQ. |

I will also definately replace the HU with Pioneer or Alpine. I was unknowing when I bought my current setup, the only thing I really investigated was the sub and amp for the sub. |

Silver Member Username: TboneOK United States Post Number: 252 Registered: Feb-04 | Yeah, the first time I saw the ROCKWOOD stuff, I about died laughing. Anyway, I played dumb and the salesman kept telling me how it was the best and they had all these tropy's in competitions, and on and on. I finally asked some questions like- do they have pulse width modulated power supplies, are there no jumpers on the board, etc. He quickly ran off, did I post FUBR subs in my nightmare system, I meant Theater Research, you know, driving around in the circuit city white van. |

Tim L. Unregistered guest | ^ WHEWWW.. NICE!! how are those ID max's treatin ya? so far at least?.. i don't know if you know this or not, but the word from people and installers, now former stores that carried ID, is that almost ALL ID max's FAIL, due to poor cooling and voice coil alignment problems.. =4.. the voice coils don't stay linear and rub the sides.. =4.. heads up if you didn't know!! |
|
Ben Chang Unregistered guest | I own a stereo shop and the BMW is just our demo car for the products we sell so it's not a daily driver. As far as the IDMAX's we haven't had any problems or complaints about them from any of our customers that have bought them. I must admit though the JL Audio w7 and Orion H2 subs are my best sellers. Not too many people know about Image Dynamics. Thanks for the heads up maybe we should stop carrying their subs. |

The current set-up is in a 1982 chevette scooter, HAHA, hopefully getting a CRX |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 1647 Registered: Dec-03 | Joey, generally nice setup, but try re-tuning the ports to about 34Hz, and I think you'll notice a big improvement in bass response. tuning too low lowers efficiency since the peak output with roll of will mostly be in the sub-sonic range in your case, and tuning at or below the Fs of the subs also will cause loss of damping for the drivers, which has serious potential for damaging them. |

At least the Focus is done! - and I realize now that the setup in the Benz is not all that it can be, hence the upgrade plans, but all in all, I get astonishingly clear sound and it's perfect for me and my musical preferences. My reference CD for that is the Star Wars original score or the Chicago soundtrack, which totally rock and make you almost smell Catherine's or Renee's perfume.... But perfection is always only a few thou away, right? Have a good weekend, JBG |
