ok so i got some ideas just wanna know what you all think

audison srx mono and 2ch
hertz melle 2ways or hi energy 3ways or focal k2p
idmax12 duel 2 ohm



question i need answering is has anyone had expericance with this gear

[~Spyne~]

new audison srx are very good, and at least on par with the previous lrx range, if not better
focal k2p are very good speakers, esp in the midrange area. hertz mille are supposed to be very good too (more pricey than k2p?). wouldnt bother with the 3-ways - for the price, it means ur compromising on sound/build, plus it will take alot more effort to install/tune
idmax are nice subs, but imo not the best sq (yes they do quite well, but i think there is better out there for sq)

[2LOUD2OLD]

Which Hertz Mille the MLK165 or MLK2, I will assume it is the 165 set in comparison to the other speakers.
I havent had experience with the 165 set but I have had a good listen to the MLK2 and they were in my top 5 out of the speakers I have listened to to date, make of that what you will but also take into consideration that the MLK2 are decidedly more expensive than the MLK165.
As for the Focal K2P, I liked them but I cant say that they blew me away as some other speakers. Although I do think that they may have been a little underpowered. But there are certainly plenty of people on here that rave about them.

Havent has any experience with those amps or the max but havent heard anything bad about them. ONly thing you might want to check is that the srx mono is stable at 1 ohm, unless you plan to run at 4 ohms that is, as a dual 2ohm sub can only be wired for 1 or 4. But having no experience with the audison amps i cant tell you for sure

[N15TURBO]

yea they are 1000watt at 4 ohms...

i was thinking the 3ways just for more like you know.....how about just the melle 2way or hi energy 2ways....keep it simple......does anyone know there best placement....eg on or off axis etc

[2LOUD2OLD]

just checked website and the Srx1D is 500W@4ohms and 1kW@1ohm so looks like it would suit the max well

[N15TURBO]

what is a good sq sub within $500

[ar3nbe]

Dayton HF, or HO series

Or for something more local. Check out the Peerless XXLS range of subs.

As for your fronts, really go out there and give some sets a listen. The Focal K2Ps are a nice speaker, a very nice speaker, but are very critical of install. The Hertz Milles are a little easier for install, but, didnt seem to impress me asmuch as their price says they should (the tweeter mainly).

I ran an older SRx Audison, and found it a good amp, the new ones can only be better.

[N15TURBO]

how are you dls tweeters....i am looking for mainly really good highs.....will be building custom A pillor mounts........as for the bass not to over the top...but still want to crank it when needed for spl reasons without it distorting

[N15TURBO]

so this is it so far

Audison SRX2S
Audsion SRX1D
Hertz HSK165 OR MKL165
HERTZ HS300/D OR ML3000

1x optima D34
0AWG to boot
4Awg earthing kit in engine bay

I already got a jvc dvd head unit and screen

[2LOUD2OLD]

sounds like a nice setup to me

[ar3nbe]

The DLS Nobelium tweeter is the best ive heard to date. They are very detailed, and very smooth once tuned correctly (the stock passive crossover has them a little to hot). At my first SQ comp both judges commented on just how nice the tweeter actually was. They play high (as tested by me with test tones and my ears).

Other tweeters I have been impressed with have been the Seas Lotus tweeter, and the Morel Supremo not being to bad either.

The Tweeter used on the Boston Z6s is nice, but, imo, lacks the detail, and crispness of the DLS.

As for your setup, unfortunality I havnt heard the Hi energy tweeter, or the MLK tweeter, but, going off what the Mille tweeter sounds like, I would take the DLS, Seas and Supremo over it. Its not that its bad, its just that it lacks in the highest octaves, and, with price factored in, dosnt quite cut it IMO,

[2LOUD2OLD]

I would also recomend to get a listen to some Rainbow's but I dont think anyone stocks them in Perth anymore.

[N15TURBO]

where can i get a set of dls and how much would i looking at paying

[Hens]

dls have a huge range and prices to suit different products in their range.

alberts and audioart both can get you dls speakers, but alberts are more likely to carry stock in store.

[N15TURBO]
