Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 2288 Registered: Jun-07 | i think i found what ur looking at rovin! is this what ur talking about? http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-DLS-6-5-US6-2-SERIES-CAR-COMPONENT-SPEAKER-SET_W0QQitemZ 290310331223QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Speakers?hash=item4397d81b57#ht_2160wt_965 im not sure if i want silk tweets. i usually like the titanium better.. but the focals make my head hurt. i like my aluminum cdt tweets.. but this is a different ride! i listened to some of these in the shop today. they sounded pretty good but its hard to tell because they were not in a car. http://cgi.ebay.com/15-MCC6-MEMPHIS-6-5-MCLASS-COMPONENT-SPEAKERS-NEW_W0QQitemZ1 20533581432QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Speakers?hash=item1c105c7e78#ht_4461wt_939 rovin im sure u know alot about this. what can i get for 500 bucks |

Post Number: 16020 Registered: Jul-05 | whats ur max budget somehow the ads on the side of ur post are blocking the numbers so i cant see it i have cdt hd62 in my wagon & they sound pretty good but doesnt do as well on the lower notes like around 50hz as it does on the higher notes like say 60+ , its tweeter is also passively crossed a bit too low so it does sound harsh with certain singers that enunciate rather heavily with S words (no i dont mean the sh1t word) artist like air supply & celine dion : when they sing words that start with or end with a S u can hear the harshness ...so id advise that u walk with ur cd or usb stick with such singers when u go for a in store demo but generally speaking the tweeter on DLS is what makes them famous & midbass is very good too ...of course ur doors shud be dampened to get the max midbass out of any comp set ... |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 2130 Registered: Apr-07 | I would try Vertex one more time: Email: support@vertexaudio.com Phone: 513-327-VRTX (8789) Mike responded great when I purchased my Wardens. My cousin just bought 2 IA LI 15s and a 50' spool of Shok wire from him with great c/s as well. Gave me/us the hookup too ;) |

Bronze Member Username: CwruckPost Number: 54 Registered: Feb-10 | i have a set of some dls speakers and i absolutely love them. excellent highs and some of the best mids i have ever heard. But they dont really push out the bass, but i bought them knowing i dont need to worry about trying to control the bass in my car from the speakers, thats the reason for having a sub. theres no way speakers can do a subwoofers job and sound good. but i guess dls 3 way speakers are very nice, but i have never heard any. i would have to agree with rovin and say just stick with 2 ways |
