Should be right around $400, maybe a touch higher. http://www.hybrid-audio.com/clarus_two_way.htm http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/member-product-reviews/44966-hybrid-audio-cl arus-c51-2-review.html http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1004428 |

USA Post Number: 514 Registered: Jun-06 | i took a look at those hybrid audio technology clarus drivers. they seem really nice but there is one this i dislike about them. the crossover point is set to 5.5khz. this seems unusually high. and where i am going to be mounting them it seems as though there will be the sound of "seperation." i will be bi-amping them and using my cd player for the crossover settings. they got some nice reviews so i might want to give them a try. |
