I just baught a set of M class 6.5" components, havent got them yet but of alot of exsperiance with them. I love the clarity of them and if you place your tweeters properly the imaging is awesome. There M class subs are very impressive IMO to. I did an install for a guy thats on our stereo team with 1 M-class 12 with a M class 500D that does 500wrms Monoblock. He took it to a competition and did a 144 with it in the back seat of an explorer sport-trac in a ported box tuned at 36hz with 1.2 CF of airspace. Another instance is a guy that just graduated from my school had 4 Mclass 12's with 2 M class 1000D amps run to them. He was doing a 156 with his. The subs are still going and are used in 3 different daily driver vehicles and there almost 3 years old.

I personally think there M class stuff is very Impressive. There power refference stuff on the other hand is not as nice. I don't like the s/q of the refference line at all, there highs arent clear IMO and there amps are weak. There refference amps are a few steps lower than the M class. The refference amp runs hotter at 2 ohms than the M Class and is not 1 ohm stable, the M class is.

Maybe that will help some. The 6.5 components retail at 140 for the mid range, crossover and tweeter and there are coax's that are around 120. There refference line is much cheaper, i think one of there reffernce 10's is like $110 and a M class 12 is $265, i Think, not sure though.

i love my memphis 6.5" oversized coaxils to death. I've been beating them for months without many problems. They sound great, look cool, and have taken like 6 months of beating without problems.

i heard some of there subs once that are suppose to handle 1000 watts rms each and 2000 for comps. and we put a hifonics 1605d on them and it was wired to 2 ohms so it was getting 1100 watts for both and the amp wasnt clipping or driving hard or anything and those subs got really really hot you couldnt even touch the center of the cone after a few minutes of playing. id say their speakers are vastly over rated for power. they sound pretty decent and got loud. they were very expensive though

so dose any1 have a price list or im i gunna have to go to the shop and get them if i do that i will post them on here

My buddy had a Memphis 1000bd,(amp) I think that was the model. It was a great amp. I would suggest head up to the shop, and listen to the lines they have.

well i have a pair at the shop that have come apart at the surrounds and have a faulty solder joint on the tweeter cap..........

and no they werent overdriven, they were run off an orion amp ( i forget the model) and i only have them because i replaced them with quarts for the guy.

there is a dealer around here that deals memphis audio i was wondering how good their speakers are any1 heard them and can u give me the prices of the subs
