RSD 65CS Anyone Try em??

Post by **Bfowler** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 12:42 pm

depends....what kind of power would they be getting

i always use the car and engine analogy

think of your amp/deck is the motor and the speaker as the car

right now you have civic with with a civic engine

if you put in the rsd's, its like taking your civic engine and putting it in a mustang. the mustang has more potential but the civic engine just isnt cutting it. it needs a mustang engine

so if you have a stock deck, the rsd's wont be getting enough power to make a difference

if you have a amp or even a good aftermarket deck the rsds will really shine

Would a Phoenix Gold QX2180 amp be enough power to play these baby's?

lol, it sure was. however its so refreshing to see someone SEARCH on a fourm and post in a thread already going that has a similer topic!

packers fan, yep that qx is plenty to rock those rsd's. it wouldn't really be worth swamping out the kicker though. the difference is pretty negligible. if you were going to spend more money, i would say upgrading the deck is the next best step for you. the cleaner signal will really help the amp

did'nt buy the kicker yet i could get the the other amp used for like 50$ It would save me some $$$

well if you didnt buy the amp yet, this bad boy is the way to go! amazon is having a CRAZY sale. this amp was 109 at my old dealer pricing. if you get it, remember to change to the free shipping

wwould you use the built in crossovers from the amp or the one supplied by the speakers?

Post by **Bfowler** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 12:02 pm

both.

the active high pass crossover on your amp is cutting out very low notes that your speakers dont like to play.

the passive crossover that came with them separates high notes for your tweeter and lower notes for your mid

awesome, glad to hear another person happy with their RSD purchase.

I am installing a set as we speak. I actually saw the qx180.2 mentioned up above. Its funny because I had a set of these running on that amp at one point. I thought the same as you...sounds like subs in the doors! haha
