Thank you for your vote and comment

Just bough 2 Alpine amplifiers one is 4 channel 4x100 and another is a mono 1000 watts, 3 10'' jl w3 sub woofers, Epicenter audio control just need the speakers to ger my audio system complete.

 

ID all the way, wouldnt have a doubt in my mind. type in imagedynamics ctx into diymobileaudio.com and be prepaired to read alot of happy reviews. Also dont forget to look into hybrid audio technology they are compairible to id and other high end speakers. Just make sure u can fit the depth Of 2 3/4" and dont fforget to sound deaden with mlv ccf and cld tiles. U can have great speakers but im they will sound like crap if u dont isolate the back wave and tame the rattles

 

Out of those two? iD

 

Massive audio ck6v

 

Im pretty sure ID went out of business. No warranty. I have IDQ Subs and find them just ok.

 

I have the ck6III and a massive audio amp... and honestly notsure if i would buy again...got it used so good for the price but i wish i spent more. the tweets are harsh and they are not that sensitive of a driver and the cross over isnt tuned properly too much vocals out of the tweet. If i run active im pretty sure i could correct for most of the issues but this defeats the purpose of buying a passive set of components. The amp also has to me a high noise floor but it makes good power. For what its rates at.

see if anyone can let u demo the set before u buy i wish i did

 

I'm running the SPR-60C and they are amazing! I suggest them and you won't be disappointed. Crisp and deep on all levels even without being amped.

 

im going with image dynamics

ID all the way, but yes they did go out of business so that is something you need to think about.

 

just got my id's they do look bad ass installing them after work will let you know how they sound.

 

they didnt go out of business. the guy who started the company eric stevens left. they are still in business tho http://imagedynamicsusa.net/

 

Thanks man get some pics

 

Just reading those 'features' of the Alpines makes me want to run away. Fancy acronyms and terms like 'high-performance' are marketing gimmicks. Tell me wtf its made out of, tell me how much power it handles, its sensitivity and range, and then let me hear it. No way in hell would I buy a car without a test drive, so why buy speakers without hearing them? Anyways, I see you already made your choice...

Let us know how the ID's work out for you. I still have yet to hear any of their stuff in person.

 

i have all ID stuff in my trans am. sub, components, coaxials, and 5 channel amp. sounds good, and i have basically the woofer part of their components in the access cab of my tacoma and use them mostly for bass and they do what i want them too just fine

 

sound awesome, but they will be needing an Amp. Very soon
