Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

I saw a review on some forum where somebody said they're pretty similar to the JL XR components. If that's true, I could understand their value in the price range. Don't know if that's how they sound or not, though. :confused

I'm starting to lean to rigid cone drivers when done right. A lot of that is because of how good they've gotten with improvements in motor design via FEA modeling. The first time I heard SEAS Excels, I had chills up my spine. Depth and clarity was unreal, the only cone speakers I've heard that can rival electrostatics. With the Lotus, same applies.

The Polk SRs and the Boston Z6 comps are some nice sets, too.

we just put a set of cs650's in the front doors with the tweet in the pillars and a set of cs525's in the kicks and a set of cs650's in the rear doors all of a dx80.4.........sounds beautiful.....i got wood!

"i install elevations component sets weekly and they sound fantastic....we have about 1000 dollars worth of mb quart q series components gathering dust because for our vehicle we like the elevations better."

So that's like...one set of them :D Unless you're talking about dealer cost. I like Quarts, but only if they're run active. Run the mid up to 5-6khz and put the tweet in pillars and they can image like a mofo. Can't comment upon Elevation, never dealt with the product.

I will say my favorite component system is the SEAS Lotus Reference system (not talking about DIY). [url]http://www.seaslotus.com/[/url] Haven't heard anything that can touch them in detail, clarity, realism, and overall neutrality. They're just incredible.Going to those from Dynaudio System 360 components if it says anything, though the Dyns will find use in a future vehicle.

i install elevations component sets weekly and they sound fantastic....we have about 1000 dollars worth of mb quart q series components gathering dust because for our vehicle we like the elevations better.....it also doesnt hurt that elevations concert series are half the cost of quarts q series and i cant tell the difference.......


elevation is a hot button topic around here right now and its a matter of a few bad apples spoiling the bunch......dont let anyone who has had a bad experience dissuade you from giving these speakers a listen.....there are a whole lot more people running around with smiles on their faces about elevation than there are people who are unhappy.....

[quote="broosky333"]i see that everyone here likes elevation audio....i haven't ehard much on them...what are some brands they stack up against in SQ...i am looking to get some component speakers so if you have had any experience with them...reply[/quote]

What kind of power are you going to be running to them? What size are you looking for? Whats your budget?

i wouldnt say everyone likes them but some of their stuff is alright. first of all what kind of music do you listen too and what kind of tweeter do you like a metal or a fabric? metal can be harsh and fabric can be lacking but it depends on the speaker and how they are powered and what you like better. whats your budget on comps? also their is the possibilities of making your own comps too i dont know if you have thought about that.
