I was talking to Alvin from Conceptsonwheels today and he mentioned to me that although he carries ARC Foose line he did not recommend it with my amp. Instead he got me convinced that I need the DLS UP6 components and that I can't go wrong with these. The only thing I didn't like was the price of $420+tax which is out of my budget. I will have to look around and see if I can find a better price for these. But at least I now know exactly what I want. Nice guy by the way, he was very helpful.

Experience the world of music outside of your vehicle.


This sounds like a bunch of fluff to me.... the subs look OK tho...

what is beutel rubber ? poly cones aren't very ideal and Iam skeptical that they are 'composites' (and if they are I hope its plastic and epoxy!)

do they use shorting rings ? how are the crossovers set up and do they have zobel networks ? what are the T/S paramaters ?? how much linear xmax do they have ???

I couldn't find anything on their website....

Lightbulb

^ lol, I would think they mean butyl. Must not translate well

In this price range I would be surprised if the set contained and of the fancies that you listed or if they could provide any real TS parameters.
