Try your RF amp and see how it does. It's a good amp. If you feel they still need more power go out and get a bigger amp.

The k2p is finally installed today. I've spent about 1 hour with it so far and I can say that I am very impressed. Every single part of the sound is better than the CDT EF and I hear things I did not hear before. The high is smoother yet more detailed, the mid-range and mid-bass "blossoms", especially the mid-range. However I still wish there's more mid-bass to it. I need to turn the volume up a bit to hear the mid-bass. Overall I am very happy with the purchase and think the RF 451S amp actually sound great with this speaker. I know the k2p can do more with a higher amp, but now I can live with the RF amp and maybe one day I will want a better amp, will see.

The install was done by Audiolines and they spent 5 hours installing it(what I'm told). That's longer than what I've epected but it's ok the install was pretty good.

How about some pics or a sound clip......

Since the speakers are hidden under stock grills there's no point to take pics anyway. Sound clips...how do I do that?

Just did another listening and found out the mid-bass still not strong enough. I think it's the setup rather than equipment now. Maybe a sealed box in the door is needed but I don't know if it will fit.

Have the speakers had a chance to break-in? I bet you'll get more midbass once they do.

No, it's new and just got installed today ^^

I can actually feel the mid driver excursion pretty well in the doors but there's just not much mid-bass.

just switch the camera to movie mode then record.. then upload the file to a video hosting website like You Tube or Photobuckets etc. there will be some degradation after the upload unfortunately. but it still give you a glimps of what it sounds like.

Here's an example:

JBL pro 12" midbass/custom enclosure..... Clicky

Midbass sounds ok(quite good actually) by playing it on my computer speaker but it actually sounds weak in the car.
