Anybody heard this brand? I'm having these installed tomorrow

Never heard of them, but just looked at the site. 6.5 "Kevlar" comps handle 250w RMS?

Must be pretty damn good.

 

I like their retro no cheesy LCD graphics look! Unfortunately their data sheets are too anemic to tell if they are great, but they look good. It's funny they crammed 160W amp in the HU when audiophiles use external amps. I hope you got a great deal. I look forward to a comprehensive review.

 

Thats what I thought too. The Polks I have right now have no ***** at all. The midbass is really weak. I think they're a pretty new company.

 

I did get a great deal. I'll be sure to post a thorough review.

 

I have heard of them and seen them installed in a tricked out Audi TT sponsored by DTM Autohaus. They are supposed to be pretty good. Let us all know how the product is.

 

Well it turns out the woofers are far too deep for the door enclosures
It could've been done but not without alot of modding and extra $$. So, we installed the crossover and the new tweeter that came with the comp set and disconnected the tweet on the two-way coaxial Polks I already had in the door enclosures. This kinda makes them midbass drivers. I think it sounds alot better just with the good tweets. The plasticky factory tweets are just WAY too peaky for me. The Swiss Audio units are very smooth and don't kill me. The imaging is much better. Still, I'm bummed about the drivers not fitting. I was gonna amp them to extract the most potential. Oh well. At least I got my KCA-IP Ipod adapter installed. But, since I didn't have a BUS switch I had to temporarily disconnect my Sirius radio. Now I have to buy another $80 piece of Kenwood gear so I can run them both. On the bright side I got the Swiss Audio tweeters/xover, installation, parts and installation of the iPod adaptor for $60 out the door. Still sucks about the 6.5 drivers.

 

I have looked at their stuff in person before.. they are no better than Pioneer or kenwood or the like.. just another company trying to make a buck.

 

There's a guy on the forums that has them in his car. It's a red showcar... don't remember who. It's my favorite car on this site. Though yeah... Swiss isn't as good to listen to as it is to look at. There's a shop here that sells them.

 

just so you know...
swissaudio = audiobahn

i dont know what that says to you but it surely makes me not want one...not that audiobahn is total junk, but not my thing

16psibrick, your site is down. I like looking at pics of your installs and wanted to check the site.

 

yeah, the engtire elitecaraudio.org site is down and i cant find any info on it grr...most of those pics will be gone forever if they dont fix it sigh

 

Since I know all of jack **** about car audio manufacturers and their reputation it means very little. I do know that A. It sucks that I didn't get the better drivers. and B. My car sounds much better with the new tweeters.

 

then thats all it matters

 

Right you are

 

hey BENJ-AMG,

Is that pic in your avatar from the BBC version of The Office?

 

c to the rap

 

Yep. Ricky Gervais is the man.

 

You can try the pods we make, I am sure that will be sufficient to get them in the doors.
