Default drool-ness maximus...

just got my newest shipment of DLS stuff in, among them are two pairs of hte new nobelium 6.5" component sets...these are the new top of the line stuff from DLS, a step about the iridium...man...i am drooling lol...too bad these arent going into my ride...but one lucky Z forum member will have them soon haha

the speaker just reeks of quality, like all dls stuff...the tweeter is especailly impressive...the basket is all aluminum on the tweet the damn little thing weights as much as many 6.5 speaksres!









cant wiat to get my set in my new car

Funny! I was just looking at those speakers on DLS's site this morning after reading your other post about DLS quality. I wish their site were a little more user-friendly and detailed. I seemed to have clicked on those by accident! How much does a pair run? And what is their RMS wattage?

Please wait a minute while I go pop my eyes back in my head.

No. These are up there with some of the best you ca buy. Rainbow is the next step. That, or some Seas Excel and some active EQ

THANKYOU! I've been pushing Rainbow and Seas for years and noone ever backs me on that. I got a chance to hear a Seas Excel system not 3 days ago and it was amazing. I'll be using them in my home audio install (next on my list of things to do). And I still argue Rainbow makes the best components in the world.

By the way... these Nobeliums are mine if you haven't figured out. I got one of the boxes today (I'll be running 2 sets of 6.2s... one in front kicks and one in rear) and all I can say is wow. For starters... the tweeters probably mount deeper than the midbass. It's nuts. And these thing reak of quality. Beautiful. Makes me want to just put them in some plexi box or something so I can still see all of them when they're mounted. I can't wait to get everything installed.

Thanks Bing.

By the way... those of you in the Atlanta area that want to hear them (and then immediately go running to Bing to buy them) let me know. It'll probably be a few more weeks before I assemble all the parts and then I'll spend a few days on the install. Then tune tune tune.
