Ah yes the XT25 series. It's supposed to be a very very nice tweeter.. But, It's called XT25SC90, is this the same as the XT25SC50? Check the bottom tweeter on this page: http://www.mamut.net/controls/shop/shops/4/standardplist.asp?wwwalias=dynabel&subgid=43&gid=42 Those are pretty much the ...

Awesome review! Thanks so much for detailing your active setup for us. I know numerous people have been asking about running the RSDs active, but we have had little experience doing so until now. I have moved this post to the reviews section for safekeeping! When I listened to the RSDs, the tweeter...

Yess so I've had them for a while now! :) I went active today.. and it just sounds f*n amazing. Some observations. I gotta say if you're off axis with the midbass like i am you do not want to cross it over higher than say 2.5k. I dunno if it is different on-axis i.e. in a kickpanel install but if yo...

Well i dunno! The tweets seem harsher today than they did yesterday :( I think it's from reflections in the dash. I am going to make some cloth patches to dampen the reflections. Oh and the midbasses can go f*n LOW :o I have them running at 50hz now and they love it :lol: Ridiculous :lol: They're do...

And the RSD comp 10" would be kickass but if i factor in shipping and taxes I'm looking at $300+ easily and i scored a brand new Hertz HX250D for $120 or so with full warranty etc :? This is supposed to be a really kickass woofer though, dunno if you've heard it but it generally wins about eve...

Wow! That's an excellent review! I didn't think there were any other metalhead audiophiles out there. :lol: What kind of sound treatment have you done? Deadening your doors will yield a huge improvement. As for break in, I noticed a significant improvement in Fuzzysnuggleduck's setup after only a f...

Is that a bad thing?

Sometimes i get wacky flashbacks from a distant past time


I really like the smell though

nice! yeah, they aren't to impressive to look at...but the subs are the same way. the tweet can come out of the housing.give it a quarter turn and it should pop out Yeah the basket was pretty thin. Overall it also seemed smaller than my old speaker set, but no worries. I figured out the part bout t...

I'll have to solder them. A lil more work, but at least I'll get a good connection. Heating the iron as we speak I solder ALL my connections. For mids and tweets (18-14ga) I use a cordless Cold Fusion unit - Father's Day one year? For big gauge (subs), I roll out the extension cord and take the 150...

Well I've packed them up and started on the install. The midwoofers seem kinda flimsy compared to my old ones but they look really nice. The tweets look really good too but they're really large though which makes fitting them a bit hard. Too bad the midwoofers don't come with a screw-type connector,...

You guys are overcomplicating math

So your ports are 4". There are two. You only want one.
Use this formula.

D x √n

Where D is the port diameter and n is the number of ports.

In your case:
4" x √2 = 5.66".



You can even type this into google: 4 * (sqrt 2)

Not to hijack thread, but i burnt (yet) another sub today, so I'll need a new one. Is the RSDc 10" as good as the RSDc12"? I could do both but the 10" enclosure i have is a really good fit in my car. Oh and stipud I'm asking you since i guess our musical tastes are quite similar (I l...

X2 on the RSD comp sub... Simply the best woofer I have owned. It just an extremely well rounded sub, which has no problems playing anything you can throw at it. It blends magnificently well with your front stage, even when it doesn't have dedicated midbass. It gets quite loud off of little power a...

What amps are you active guys running on them? I thought I'd might go for a RSD 500.4 mostly because it's fairly cheap and seems decent.. but i dunno if it'll deliver enough oomph to the midbasses?

It's pretty bad if the actual CONE gets hot :shock: Unless it's metal though And you don't need to clip for it to get hot.. sending too much wattage to it will do just fine. But if you're playing real music and not just test tones and stuff like that there's enough movement and variation going on so...

Lol this is totally not relevant to your discussion but the Hertz ES250D i put in today kicks all sorts of ass. Not even close to muddy or boomy, and plays nice up really high (but soundstage will suffer). This thing plays music, not just generic bass. And it packs a real punch.. i need to deaden my...

thanks for the info I do like the sound of a 10 but my car had 13 speakers with 2 8 subs under the seat the only problem is the mids are all 4" front, rear door and rears I am using the 8" for more of a mid bass I used a orion hcca from 2000 with a ported box very nice. The choice doesn't...

Thanks. I just assumed the cones were metal, lol


Thanks for the replies, I'll see how it goes

-the off axis is still pretty great, you might try flipping one out of phase depending on the car i haven't experienced the ringing in any i have installed. they have a silk dome, so it shouldn't be present. they are a bit bright if mounted high in the door or a pillar, so you might have to attenua...

Hi :) New PG owner here :) I bought the RSD 6.5 kit since i heard it brought lots of midbass for the dollar and i love me some midbass. Actually I am a total midbass junkie :lol: What power are you guys running to the RSD 6.5 midbasses when you run it active? I have an Audison 2x65W, but i guess it'...
