Soundstream sm2.650 are another option and much more affordable at around $60 for the pair not each like these. Same compression style tweeter setup high sensitivity they sound great decent midbass and very bright highs . I've tested most of them including the new cerwin vega strokers and all of them are excellent
Listening through my ear phones and they sound awesome 1000times better than the ds18 black diamonds sound crisper and clean and More mid bass love them
Box says it goes up to 23k. But if the midrange and tweeter are connected together and the midrange itself can’t go up to 23k, guess what that translates into?.. distortion and unwanted heat to a coil trying to play frequencies it’s not intended. It’s why I don’t like coaxial speakers UNLESS I power the midrange and tweeter separately with their respective frequencies responses.
@@408SPLKINGS But I’m mainly referring to the woofer or midrange part that has no blocker for the higher frequencies it cannot reproduce at loud volume properly.
Hey Parker can we get a video with just the 6.5 with super tweeters plugged without the separate tweeters with you like walking backwards to show how far you can hear them
This is a great idea but it's not new. Infinity made the Kappa series for cars back in the early 90's. They were terrific speakers and a true 3 way design, with a woofer, tweeter and Emit super tweeter built in.
Same distance Black Diamond sounds louder, cleaner, crisper than DS18 but with 16 tweeters for highs & 8 mids for mids you can't really go wrong Black Diamond are a really good value 4$h🤪
This setup is very nice. I’ve been following you since your channel first got going and it’s been a journey, a good one at that. Now show us some videos about the bikes please. I have the same passions it would appear. I love sport bikes, sporty cars and loud music. It would be super cool to see you introduce some people to the motorcycle life. Keep it up!
Not bad, but what about compression drivers aka Horns? If people actually want to hear lyrics from their system they'll be needing horns as the homie Jerry Ain't Loud just explained a couple days ago
@@ParkerTheBasshead between what you're doing Parker, Jerry and EXO I stay pretty entertained and up to date on the newest car audio gear to hit the market 💯 thank you for doing such a dope job year after year mang
What did you cross over the speakers to to play low and did it hurt the speaker I want to use them for my motorcycle but everyone said they won't play midbass
I've been seeing this style of midrange/super tweeter coaxial style speakers appearing, so I'm curious to see other brands who have the same style tested
I found the most torturous song for a sub you might not know maybe you do but it just does not let up non stop excursion. It's called bass ballin slowed, killer demo song I'd love to see you flex it testing a sub.
I wanna see you do a ultra-low frequency rotary subwoofer review they are very uncommon it seems and Not much info on them online maybe you could shed some light onto them and show us what they can do.
Hard to tell On this end but how do they sound on that end Parker? I mean they got to be brighter you got eight more tweeters. Prolly too bright. Sound like ya cooking bacon on Saturday morning? Sounded much better once you unhook the super tweeters
Brother. I have an important question I have a mid range amp 4ch for my 4 door speaker. now I have a DB pair of super tweeters 250 watt Max should I purchase another mid range 4ch amp for my super tweeters??? Of so should I just buy 2 more super tweeter will that make it balanced?
@@Kyle_FoF These are about double the size of what would fit in your car, though you could also get some custom door pods to make them work... Though if you're just looking for a quick swap out improvement, go to your local car audio shops and do some compare/contrast of what they have in stock to see what sounds best to you. But an easy recommendation that'd work for your vehicle (if you plan to be below ~100w RMS) would be the Polk Audio DB 652 speakers or 6502 component variant for an extra $80. Can absolutely vouch for them.
the amount of anxiety i was filled with when you test fit the doors by just slamming them its like it was my build or something.... that was horrible. LOL
I’ve been running Black Diamond 6.5’s on their DIA 4 channel and it’s clean. Also black diamond is a sub brand of ds18
They sound great even with bass going through them nice and loud love it
The sound is WAY crisper and clean sounding, even on my computer speakers.
For real!
Yeah it slapps crazy
Wow! Those sound great! Could tell a big difference in sound. Thanks Parker.
For real!! I’m excited to see how they do over the next few months

Those bad boys sound amazing ! Def blows away old ones , has are way more crisp and mid sounds great. Def headed over to big Jeff’s for a set 👍🤘🏻🔊
Ol' Big Jeff Audio Hookin' it up!
Yessir!
I looked at the prices you can get the ds18. Cheaper than the black diamonds at least now I don’t know about a year ago
Listening through my ear phones and they sound awesome 1000times better than the ds18 black diamonds sound crisper and clean and

Tweeters have built bass frequency blockers ....already pre-soldered.

Sounds good, keep the videos coming

I do like the good old mercury vapour light on the garage.
Haha yep!
Sounds great! What do you have them crossed over at?
do you have a video that explains better about hooking up the speaker up...I don't understand how you ran them
Thank you Parker for your honest opinion.
Holy tweeter Batman. It seams like the new ones sound better .
I love the way they sound like really good
Same distance Black Diamond sounds louder, cleaner, crisper than DS18
but with 16 tweeters for highs & 8 mids for mids you can't really go wrong
Black Diamond are a really good value
4$h🤪
You can definitely tell the difference in the range test,the new one sounded like you were still up close to the truck.
Really digging the all black with little touches of silver
I came here looking to see how good these speakers play but your set up is amazing. Definitely subscribing‼️🤝

Good upgrade Parker, I hear the difference greatly with headphones. 100k by end of summer!

Thank you!!
Those even look better. Nice job brother
Thank you man!!
@@ParkerTheBasshead no problem brother 👍👍👍
B.D. good stuff, gave my friend 6.5's for his truck. He really likes them 👍😎
Those BD 's were shaking my TV. 😳😜
What did you cross over the speakers to to play low and did it hurt the speaker I want to use them for my motorcycle but everyone said they won't play midbass
Can you give more details on how you wired them up?
You dont think thats too much highs? Im curious to know how they sound like with out the tweeters.
which ones would you rather have between these and the deaf bonce sylvesters?
black diamond for the win
You prefer these over independent control over mids and highs using the dsp?
I've been seeing this style of midrange/super tweeter coaxial style speakers appearing, so I'm curious to see other brands who have the same style tested
How to connect tweeter & mid range speaker ? Series or Parallel ?
I got set of ds18 in my jeep and they are definitely loud!!!
💪🏼💪🏼
Looking to upgrade from my old alpine type X 6.5s...
Would a pair of the xt8s be a good upgrade in your opinion?
I would stick with the alpines
@Eddie Maravillas yeah they sound great, just don't get loud... maybe I'll have to find a place to put a second pair somewhere
@@14880evilmonkey what type of car u got
@@eddiemaravillas9879 swb Nissan patrol
So wiring each pair in series and finishing off each pair parallel at the amp channel
will keep the same 4ohm impedance ?
Parker how is the mid bass on the XT6? I know it's a copy of the DS18 ZT6 which I'm currently cross-shopping.

I wanna see you do a ultra-low frequency rotary subwoofer review they are very uncommon it seems and Not much info on them online maybe you could shed some light onto them and show us what they can do.
So should I get the mid range with super tweeter or just the 6.5 with built in tweeter?
Hard to tell On this end but how do they sound on that end Parker? I mean they got to be brighter you got eight more tweeters. Prolly too bright. Sound like ya cooking bacon on Saturday morning? Sounded much better once you unhook the super tweeters
Crispy clean....I like the new ones.
I think your high pass filter was on with old speakers.
I know what I am putting in both of my vehicles! Those are awesome for the price.
If I run a mid and tweeter together with both of them 4 ohms. Would they be 2 ohms
Thanks for the video parker...
I appreciate it!!
Really wish someone made a 5x7/6x8 like this!!!
look at infinity by harman
They make 6x9 sized ones (XT69)
Trying to find a good amp to push these… any pointers? Something maybe a little on the budget friendly “ish” side.
Brother. I have an important question I have a mid range amp 4ch for my 4 door speaker. now I have a DB pair of super tweeters 250 watt Max should I purchase another mid range 4ch amp for my super tweeters??? Of so should I just buy 2 more super tweeter will that make it balanced?
Check out the cherwin Vega 6x9s with a compression horn
How many watts you run trough those new mids? And what amp for those mids?
Got more vocals and clearer sound...gotta get a set of them bad boys
Parker I need some of those speaker grills send a link fam we appreciate your efforts and time for these videos
Wow, that's a lot of highs. What power are you giving each door?
I need to do something like this to my doors 👍🏻, great video!!
I have 10 eights in my doors and eights super tweeters all around. Need to know what size amp I need
Big difference for shore and UPDATE
Do they come as a pair or just one speaker?
What amp is the best mids amp for 2 10 inch mids an 2 8 inch mids ?
Do you think these speakers would fit in a stock location without an adapter?
Wondering the same they look thick. Might hit the windows
It totally depends on your car. You’d have to lookup your mounting depth
@@ParkerTheBasshead I can’t seem to find the mounting depth for a 2017 Kia Forte sedan, but if I had to guess these are prob too thick

isnt black diamond a sister company of DS18 or something like that?
Yessir
Maybe you should get that black brick 8k and test that out. Since you told us about the sale
I’ve thought about it! The 5k has been good to me
What speakers are you running in your super
Sounds good!!
i got 2 ddaudio vo-w6b and they scream Louder than i can handle.
How is that not blowing out yer Ears??
Wow what a difference
Hey would you consider selling the power acoustic Gothic 12s and the box they are in lmk
You should review Orion's they are nice. Anything you throw at them they'll just keep going
How do they sound , compared to the ds18
Overall better!
Could put Memphis mojo 8” against sundown x8
@parkerthebasshead do you have a discount code for big jeffs? I was going to use it if so. Either way im getting some of these
Most people over the age of 27 can't really hear frequencies above 17,000 HZ anyway
Nice full sound
When you gona fix that taramps sticker bro.speakers plays super
Way better brother thx big Jeff
Tin sounding on the ds18 a lot more mid bass on the black diamonds 🚀🚀🔥🔥
DSA team make the same one as well
🔥🔥🔥
what amp do you runn for your doors?
JP234
I have found a new 99 dollar monster of Sub Parker AkA Sound Town what a banger for 99 bucks
Awesome Video!
They are exactly the same as the ds18 ones just slightly cheaper
Looks just like the pro zt series
the amount of anxiety i was filled with when you test fit the doors by just slamming them its like it was my build or something.... that was horrible. LOL
Look like my DS18 proc6.5s
Same company
Nice speakers
Nice bugeye
anybody notice how it's getting louder as he's walking away from the sequoia?
Sounding Great looking for a set now. Do they make something like this in a 6x9 version?
I believe so!
That shit sounds clean with my ear pods on. I had to take them off😅
Weird music but great video lol
They sound more beefy
Big Jeff charges for shipping... The rest of the CA world doesn't Hmmm...🤔
Yeah...........
