what an incredible and fun time to be into car audio. Stuff is very affordable, powerful and sound great. I'm 53 and back in the 90s having a decent deck and 6x9s was all some of us could afford
Not that long ago, Audio Legion was selling their ME6 6.5" mid bass woofers for under $20 per pair! They have a nice big vented magnet and sound great. I got 2 sets when they were cheap. Now they are discontinued. They were a great brand. I bought one of their audio legion S2512 subs (sundown sa classic clone) for $60 shipped! It was open box but still, thats insane cheap. So basically i got 1 12" sub and 4 mids for $100 off of audio legion, thats gotta be the best deal in history. I wish they were still around.
Those do sound good but they can't handle a lot of power so unless you're running 8 or more (which I don't have room for) they won't keep up with loud bass. I had 4 and blew all of em. I was running almost 150 watts through each of them (no clipping) and their only rated at 90watts RMS. They did last for a few months before they started to go. I then bought 4 Skar FSX series 6.5' and they take over rated but they don't sound all that great, their not that efficient and you have to set your high pass at over 200 or you get horrible distortion at high volume. Anyone that has ran FSX probably knows all about that sound they make if you give them too much bass. I still have my Skars but I'm now running 4 D4S USCMR'S at over 200 watts per speaker for almost 6 months now and so far they are holding up strong. I have my hpf set to 120 and they are much louder than the Skars. I had to turn my gains and my hpf down. If you're gonna run overrated power through them just make sure you're not clipping (I have a clipping light in my dash for my mids) or you will blow them. For extremely loud budget mids ($30 each) you can't beat the USCMR's.
What’s your take on Arnold’s vs those machete have the Arnold midbass ac w I believe I like over the ac m . Midrange I’ve had both right now I have the Arnold 8” midbass in front doors and arnold midrange 6.5 in rear doors. But I’m thinking about going too sundown vex 8 in front doors and sundown neo 6 in rear doors
man the deafbonce tweeters are great id totally be running them, i got the ds18s for free from a friend, and yea i am impressed with them as well, either would be a good choice, but the deafbonce tweeter will eventually be in my doors

It sure is!
i just ordered the 8 inch version.
great mids really brings you audio system to life. I run the DS118 EXL
Awesome 👌. Is the ds18 exl four channel amplifier good enough to hook up 8 speakers?
@@drvictoria07 it may be able to but I would not

Very cool!
Audio Legion didn't discontinue lol ,, they were forced out of business by Skar if my memory serves. Same build company
Id like to drift off.. but i still.run my T1 and T2 Rockford speakers... 1 day ill change it up. Great video brotha!!!
Take a listen to Cerwin Vegas cp65,I chose them over the Skars Pioneers and the Black Diamonds nice video no one talks about mid bass drivers.
I’m still rocking all of my Recoil shit. But I’m gonna have to try yours.
they really sound great, if you like to rock out!
Same here my entire system is recoil and sounds unbelievably good

i like the arnolds and sylvesters too, the 3 sound very close. cant speak on the sundowns, havent heard enough from them.
off topic...what is your front sub and how much juice do you feed it

man the deafbonce tweeters are great id totally be running them, i got the ds18s for free from a friend, and yea i am impressed with them as well, either would be a good choice, but the deafbonce tweeter will eventually be in my doors
