Silver Member Username: Vivi2000Lansing, Mi Post Number: 259 Registered: Aug-07 | I currently have a pair of CDT Cl61i's powered by an orion cobalt 600.2(100wrmsx2 @ 4 ohms, 150x2@2). I like the way they sound but i want something louder. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for a 2 way component set around $150. |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfPost Number: 14180 Registered: Dec-03 | If it's really 50 RMS watts from an amplifier, then certainly. If you mean "50 watts" from a head unit, then what you really mean is 12 watts RMS, and no, they won't be any louder than any other speaker with a crappy IC based amplifier lacking a transformer putting out 10-15 watts of juice. |

Silver Member Username: Vivi2000Lansing, Mi Post Number: 262 Registered: Aug-07 | Well my current setup is 100wrms to my components from an amplifier and they are not as loud as i would like them to be. |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfPost Number: 14186 Registered: Dec-03 | gain set properly on that amplifier? what kind of car? any sound damping in place? where are the current speakers mounted? there are a number of factors to ponder here that may also help in respect to your concerns. |

Silver Member Username: Vivi2000Lansing, Mi Post Number: 263 Registered: Aug-07 | I set the gain using a dmm and 0dB test tones, I have a 2001 chevy cavalier, no sound dampening and they are mounted in the door. I also forgot to mention my substage, 2 sealed 12" RD Classics powered by a hifonics bxi1206d(set to ~850wrms) |

Silver Member Username: Vivi2000Lansing, Mi Post Number: 264 Registered: Aug-07 | I would have no problem trying it, but i have never done it before and do not know anyone who has. What would you suggest doing? |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfPost Number: 14191 Registered: Dec-03 | check google. there are a ton of guides online for how to do fiberglass kick pods for cars. that'd be your best solution. kick pods. makes for good imaging, and signal path length. |
