used the mb quart psd 216 all last yr and placed no lower than 2end at any iasca or usaci show. i took out my dynaudios for these drivers and i loved my dynaudio. no one can dispute there winning record at any sound off event over the past 15yrs. so people can say what they want but i will back a PROVEN winner.

 

I'd tend to agree with defro13....Any speakers I install sound better than anything else I've heard....take the time to find a good installer and let him work his magic...the speakers are just parts on the counter until they've been installed. A car door has got to be the farthest thing from a good speaker box there is, so spend some time and cash on the install, and whatever's left over, buy the best parts you can afford.

 

DLS, Macrom, Dynaudio.....

 

got the same Question guys my budget is 150-200 per pair front and back. don't laugh but I have xscargo speakers 5.1/4 in the front and stock in the back baught them for sale for $12.50 I feel like such a cheap a$$ now.Any suggestions would be appreciated guys, may wait till May 1 to look up at your shop Paul and Chris.was wondering what kind of power to put to the speakers what size of amp would be sufficent.

 

What kind of car?

 

Its a 1997 Hyundai Accent Hatch back still only has 50000 original on it.

 

Well in regaurds to the quoted part this is my personal take on that. I myself have never been a fan of real fill. When I first got my truck like 7 years ago, the only time I had rear fill was for the 3 weeks that the system was stock. Personally it is always in my recomendation to say screw the rear fill especially in your case were you have a hatch back and take the money that you were going to put into the rears and get yourself a better set of fronts. Like I said I personally hate the sound of rear fill and if you are concerned about rear seat passengers hearing the music..... who are you building your system for?? Forget passengers you are the one spending the money, and you are the person that will spend the majority of the time in you vehicle so make it the best it can be for you not other people. Just my $0.02

 

DLS,</font>[/QUOTE]Based on what?

DLS sets are in the same price bracket as Focal...except that DLS doesn't have a set with a Berillium tweeter and an $8000 price tag.
DLS is nice, I'm not disputing that.....I'll stick with my Utopia's though, thanks.

I just personally like the DLS Iridium 6.5 comps. They come in around the same price as the utopia 6.5 set and have, non pressed paper cone, neo motor, 3" coil and soft textile dome tweeter. In my opinion no set sounds better then the next, they all sound different. It is all in the eye of the beholder 100%.

If we were only limited to price and it did not have to be a component set, I would say that a set of HLCD's with a good mid bass driver will smoke anything out there. Again personal opinion, I have heard and owned many many high end comp sets and three way sets from Rainbow, Focal, DLS, Macrom, MB Quart, Alpine F1, Dynaudio, and others in that realm and am yet to hear a set that could compete with an Image Dynamics HLCD component set which is their entry level horn and mid. When properly tuned they will blow any mid/tweet combo out of the water and still be at the $1000 Canadian retail price range, which is like any good high end comp set. Again I say in my opinion.
