If I could get 2 for under $3000 I think I would be doing well, The goal is to do the front stage including power for $5000.
Kool I could be wrong but from what I have seen the xover is only setup for the 5" and the 1" if you know differently let me know.

Gmax you are right. On the 3way set the passive xover is for the 5"s and tweets.. The midbass is supposed to be crossed over actively.

I thought so thanks chev.

Why did PG not design a proper 3 way crossover for them. It would have made powering them alot easier

Side note: I am a McKenzie now and considering the weather out side I must suggest "put it in low eh, like winter conditions!"

Maybe easier.. But many people feel 3way passives leave the midbass lacking.. Xover isnt right, not enough power. If you can afford the 3-way elites then you should be able to afford 2: 2 channel amps (Even if those are 100x2 each). Powering the midbass seperatly always gets better results then a 3-way factory passive.. IMO.

What has drawn you into the PG componets?? I've never heard them........... anyone in the Toronto area running a broken in set and willing to do a demo??? Full retail on two Arc Audio XXK 2500 with taxes included is WELL under $3000 CAN from what I can remember. I've heard that lots of POWER seems to be where it's at in SQ, as also shown in some cases at the IASCA finals. Quite a number of people running lots and lots of power. Crazy [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] but nice to have if you can afford it.

I looked into the price a bit more and it looks as if they are about $1400CAN that is very rough though, that is taking the sound domain list price converting it to canadian. They no longer have it in stock but they were going for $780 Can at one point man I would have scooped me a pair of those right now if they still had that price.

As for what attracked me two the comp set, when I first looked at them I was running my PG ti amps and loving them the idea of a nine upfront is great I have always wanted more midbass and a problem in my last car was the bass always sounded behind me, also they are made by morel and I have heard there home stuff which sounds amazing.

As far as a demo hopfully I will be able to give you one at the end of april or mid may at the latest.

On that first price........... nope Full retail on XXK 2500 with tax is less then that. That second price may have been on the CXL 2500 which is now discontinued and being cleared out. With regards to a larger driver up front, Mr. Bruno may have something for you to listen to in the next little while. He's thinking of not using a sub at all.......... he's being very secretive about it all though Evil little Italian man he is.

Well In a few weeks I am going to head up to perfect tones and price it out.

Why would they discontinue the 2500's?

CXL 2500 discontinued as it's been replaced by the XXK 2500.
