TI265PS MSRP?

Interested in the new Ti point source speakers. Curious what they will sell for and when they will be available. Also, maybe Morgan can give his opinion on how these would compare to Exile XT65. That is what I am using now and love them! I did buy some HAT Imagine mids to try out but have not had th...

Re: Why no subsonic filter on 5 ch. amps?

Thanks Morgan. It is not mentioned in the features list on the site, nor in the 2013 catalog descriptions. Manuals are where I finally found it except ti2 manuals do not seem up yet. Will the app amp have a subsonic filter?

Why no subsonic filter on 5 ch. amps?

Just trying to decide what amp to get next. I was hoping to go with something PG of course. 5 ch. would be ideal, but 4 would work. I am going to be running coustic dr-326 bass pumps which have 6" woofers. I would love the added protection of a subsonic filter but it seems that none of the PG 5...

coustic bass pump?

Does anyone here have experience with these? Specifically the dr-326 with the 6.5" drivers? How would 2 of them compare with say a pair of HAT I6SW in vented enclosures? Or a pair of JL 6W3v3 in sealed? They are designed to be mounted free air and drop into the 6x9 holes. I have found a pair fo...

Re: 6x9 subs?

I might try some of the CDT 6x9 subs free air. But I am toying with the idea of building ported enclosures for some HAT I6SW and mounting them under the deck. I might also try and find some old school coustic bass pumps. DR-328 or 330. Just for fun. If I get motivated enough, a 6th order bandpass I6...

6x9 subs?

I am wanting to attempt an install in a 2005 Hyundai Sonata that takes up zero trunk space. This means using the rear deck locations for subwoofers. 6x9 stock. I can fairly easily seal off the trunk and reinforce and deaden the deck itself. Is there a set of 6x9 subs that play will IB? Free air migh...

When I bought my current car, a '95 VW GTI VR6, my plan was always to do a system in it. Of course, getting married, having kids, working, and other priorities took over and it has been 3 years.

Re: Receiver Options

In that price range, I would look at the Marantz NR1403 and NR1603. 5.1 vs/ 7.1 being the main difference. The 1603 also has all the network features which the 1403 does not.

The Pioneer SC models (class D) are pretty hard to beat sound wise. I would not hesitate to try one out.

I know you are supposed to use both sets. The one i just picked up on eBay looks like it had been used with only one set connected. I have not fired it up yet. What could only using one set of the terminals cause? The inside looks really clean. No dust on the fans even. I hope it works ok. It was ch...

Re: Zed sayed Blaaa blaaa bla

Without getting into any argument, the quote you just posted is based on facts. Power output of an amplifier is completely dependent on the design. Some will not do more power with more input voltage or with lower impedance loads. Others will do more power with more voltage and lower loads. Just dep...
