Phoenix Gold Phorum

I need a little help here, as I am too old school....

I need some 8" mids for my old-school install, but I cannot figure what speakers to use (from the 90s..). So I might go for some 8"s from a newer date. But if the mids are going to be "new-school", I want to use some PG-mids, not other brands...

So.. the question is:

What 8" mids from Phoenix Gold are the best? I'd prefer if they could handle the wattage of a bridged MS275.

thanks,

Pedi

Xmax8´s are from the 90ies! I just bought a set for 100 Euro Ivar. And they ar able to handle a MS275 every day!

Xmax8...

I never even heard about them before...

thanks for the tip, Joerg...

I will check it out...

when I owned a pontiac fiero I know pos but it was a good car to me I had 4 jl 8w1=8 they were great

Or another suggestion that just came in mind! The Orion XTR8MB They are from the mid 90ies as well

But that is not Phoenix Gold... And They are even hard to get in a decent shape.. back in the 90s it was Orion and Lanzar Pro Series that rocked 8"s here in Norway...

yeah Joerg. Those Orions were grrrrrreat!!!

I had 2 each door in my very first car! I spent more on those mids than on my subs!

orion xtr8 funny I sold my set to a guy on the forum last xmas
you can pick them up cheap if you can find them

I know that shaheen bought a set this year from someone in here!

I saw them but never paid attention? Do you know those gonzos? I think dbincognito mentioned them at some point in a conversation i had with him.

I just stumbeled over them 5 minutes ago...

I could not believe that Gonzos could replace the good old XTRs???

And I guess the Gonzos are cheaper new (se add) than what I would have to buy for a set of 15 year old XTRs??

Strange...

And even cheaper without the tweets
