ED Eu-700 or CDT EF8

Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 846 Registered: Jul-04 | From what i have read about the 700, it is more of a mini-sub then anything else. I wouldnt really recommend it as just a midbass because the SQ on it shouldnt be too great. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 70 Registered: May-05 | okay thanks. I heard of one guy using it as a midbass but it was as infinite baffle not a box like i intend to do. Do you have any other reccomendations |

Silver Member Username: Riebread77Post Number: 516 Registered: Jun-05 | kicker makes an 8" midbass...if kicker is good at one thing...its bass and you'd get a pair for $150...cheaper than both models that you've looked at...might be worth taking a look at |

Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 851 Registered: Jul-04 | and 8" is not intended to be a midbass speaker. If i were you i wouldnt get anythign larger then a 6.5" |
|
Silver Member Username: Riebread77Post Number: 519 Registered: Jun-05 | i don't agree with that statement...have you ever seen DJ equipment...some use 18" speakers to hit up to 1khz...and do it well, it doesn't go really really low as if it were a subwoofer, but plays clear hitting midrange frequencies...depends on the engineering... you want a midbass to hit between 60 hz and 250 hz...an 8" speaker can without a doubt do that especially since its not being used full range and only for a range of 200 hz...8" midbass are a great way to bring some bass to the front stage rather than all rear fill from the trunk. |

Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 855 Registered: Jul-04 | Actually, i would have to say that an Adire Audio Extremis would be the best choice. DJ equipment is a hell of a lot different then car audio. As far as an 18" speaker hitting that high of a frequency well, i wanna hear from glasswolf on that one cuz i DONT BELEIVE it. Looking at some higher end component sets such as the DLS Iridiums with either and 8 or 6.5 midbass, the 6.5" comp set had better results and better SQ, and the Iridiums are one of the best sets you can get. Most 8" subs are not intended to be used as a midbass, they are essentially just mini subs. They way they are setup will make a huge difference though. |
|
Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 857 Registered: Jul-04 | Besides, you get better SQ when your speakers are dedicated to play in a certain freqency range, that is why highpass and lowpass filters are designed for. Would you realy want a 12" sub to try and play higher frequencies??? It is just not a good idea. Even worse would be to set a set of comps to play only the lows. |

Bronze Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 71 Registered: May-05 | Id rather not go with kicker midbasses I looked at them before and I dont consider their freq. to be high enough. I emailed a guy at CDT and he told me that those would be perfect as mibasses. Actually their freq range is much higher than that of the kickers and the response curves they showed me are more of what I needed. I looked up the iridiums and so far I only found the 8 in comp set. The price nearly made me fall over..... I think I will go with the cdt its only $120 shipped well unless someone has something better near or at that price besides I know 8s are what I want Ive had one before as midbass\midrange driver in a car where all speakers were in the lower regions of the doors. Thanks for the suggestions |

Silver Member Username: Big_osoPost Number: 312 Registered: Jun-05 | I have heard a lot of good things about the RE XXX midbass 6.5 they have massive magnet motors structures people think their subs. Have great sq and response. |
|
Gold Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 1010 Registered: Jul-04 | I would still have to say that the Extremis is the better of the 2. The extremis would prob give good bass and ahve even better SQ then the XXX. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 79 Registered: May-05 | It took me awhile but I finally found the extremis. Adire needs to get their website up and running... I also found the koda 6 both I believe are what I am looking far as the data is concerned. Are they sold in pairs or just one http://www.acoustic-visions.com/~acoustic/products/speakers/car_audio/adire_koda _6_midbass.shtml# visions.com/~acoustic/products/subwoofer_drivers/adire http://www.acoustic-_extremis/ |
|
Gold Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 1105 Registered: Jul-04 | I would say that the Extrmeis is a better bass and SQ performer then the koda 6. I can remember, but does the koda 6 have XBL2?? |
|
Silver Member Username: TboltCollipark, GA United State... Post Number: 639 Registered: Dec-04 | xxx would get louder, though. Has anyone seen ascendent audios new midbass? it looks like they took a dustcap off of a avalanche 18 and put it on there. |

Gold Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 1120 Registered: Jul-04 | Are you sure teh XXX would be louder then the Extremis??? I am sure glasswolf would know. By the way, have you hear either of them?? |
|
Silver Member Username: TboltCollipark, GA United State... Post Number: 644 Registered: Dec-04 | Nope. I'm sure aa new midbass will be better than both of them. |
|
Gold Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 1128 Registered: Jul-04 | that thing looks hella sweet man. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 81 Registered: May-05 | the koda doesnt have xbl2 Yeah it does look nice aesthetics was going to be the next thing in choosing which one I will get because they will be mounted to roof where everyone can see. The adires do seem to a bit of an eyesore LMAO I went to AA new website and couldnt get any info on the new midbass. I think I will look into those two companies a little more on the future they dont seem to overprice like cdt does on some of their products. Are the extremis sold in pairs. How much do you think the new AAs might be |
|
Gold Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 1188 Registered: Jul-04 | Another option which i must brin up is the Iridium 6.5 middbass from DLS, They are really expensive though, but they are extremely accurate and pound for such a little speaker. |
|
Gold Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 1189 Registered: Jul-04 | The Extremis is sold seperatealy and i beleive they are 100 buch apeice. Go to acoustic-visions.com to order them. |
|
Silver Member Username: TboltCollipark, GA United State... Post Number: 670 Registered: Dec-04 | Prolly like 100 bucks |
|
Gold Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 1192 Registered: Jul-04 | No shizit ice, i got to it first. You really do need to get a little faster. |
|
Silver Member Username: Riebread77Post Number: 522 Registered: Jun-05 | the extremis is made for home use...but can also be used in car audio situations...however it is an 8 ohm speaker...which means that you will have to use either 2 speakers and run them in parallel to get a 4 ohm load or get something like JL slash series and bridge it (get same load between 3-8 ohms) |
|
Bronze Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 85 Registered: May-05 | Damn I was hoping they would be in pairs.... Would you say it would be worth it to pay the extra $80 over the cdts. I am a little more interested in the cdts now though because AA is making one of thiers out of carbon fiber much like the cdt. makes me wonder |
|
Bronze Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 86 Registered: May-05 | ill just wait to check out the new AA midbasses hopefully they come put soon thier forums were saying late summer for their release but there isnt even a price in the air yet |
|
New member Username: ChriskleinPost Number: 3 Registered: Aug-05 | The Extremis is not specifically for home use. in fact i would have to say that most people that own them use them for car audio. |
|
New member Username: CnafetsPost Number: 5 Registered: Aug-05 | The AA midbass driver also comes in regular pressed paper |
|
Bronze Member Username: ChriskleinPost Number: 11 Registered: Aug-05 | Anyone know around how much it is going to be going for??? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 91 Registered: May-05 | The only way to find out is to ask the head guy over there. Yes i know they come in paper or carbon fiber I just think the carbon fiber is somewhat unique because very few use it |
|
Bronze Member Username: ChriskleinPost Number: 22 Registered: Aug-05 | I would have to say that a Non-pressed paper cone like what is used on DLS iridiums is one of the best cone materials ever used. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Zero43Kyle, TX USA Post Number: 99 Registered: May-05 | What would be your 2nd preference under the iridiums |
