Well I did a price-match through sounddomain and got the kicker kx 1200.1 for 440$ or so...and sounddomain is an authorized dealer so thats cool. Anyways this will be powreing a 12" XXX...hopefully everything turns out ok.

other recent purchases:
2/0 wire for alt---> batt and batt--> d.block
2ga wire for d.block --> amps
50sq ft of edeadv1.se or something... i dont remember the version exactly

so my setup now is
CDT 6.5" comps (gonna be replaced eventually)
jl 300/4
re 12" xxx sealed
kicker kx 1200
edead doors/trunk
pioneer deh5500p (also gonna be replaced eventually)

i dunno im getting there....

by the way if anyone else wants that kicker for 440$ authorized just do their price match and give them the link to the Kicker kx 1200 on etronics.com

cept i got hit cause i had to pay WA state tax for SD...anyways ..later

they sound real good (a lot better than any coax ive heard) but they dont sound good when turned up loud... i dont expect any speaker to sound clear when the volume is all the way up, but just at louder volumes I should say they dont sound as good.

dunno im looking at RE comps....Adire Kodas...or gonna look into focal/rainbow/higher model CDTs....dunno not gonna buy anytime in the near future so i have awhile to research.

I envy you now... Sounds like you are really starting to get a nice set-up, good job! I really miss having my system, but it was time to start over. Next set-up will be better I surpose, I guess that it'll all be worth it in the end.

he has the CDT CL61a set which is the cheaper version of the CL61.. by about a C note.
hey what are you using to power those CDTs by the way?
This could just be a matter of needing a good high-pass filter around 125Hz, 12Db/octave, or needing an amplifier with some clean power instead if using the head unit.
That may clean up those CDT components surprisingly well.

how excatly do the CL-61A's, and CL-61's differ?

i own a pair of the same speakers. i think they sound quite wonderful. i have mine in kick panels, powered by a jbl 180.2

theyre powered by a jl 300/4

i must have a setting wrong because they just arent loud (reasonably) the HP filter is set at like 95 or so on the amp

actualy the 61's and 61a's are the exact same speakers,the 61a's are being sold on thezeb.com as b stock because the shade of red on the mid baskets did not meet cdt's qc standards...i have my 61a's runnig off of a monitor 1 mk2.70,through a crossfire cfq 5.2 and they are loud enoghu to ring my ears,and are as clear as a bell while doing so

i dunno i have infinity 6x9's (just reference) and when they hit their bass seems to be clearer than the cdt's. I dunno... im impressed with their sound for 150$, all im saying is im going to want to upgrade.
