Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 737 Registered: Jun-07 | i have not been told great things about the DD comps either |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1Lake Charles, La. United States Post Number: 1241 Registered: May-07 | talk to exige about some CDT comps... I've only heard the mid-grade CDT's, and they sounded sweet. |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1196 Registered: Aug-07 | mark which CDTs did u hear? im not trying to bash im just curious... |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8341 Registered: Jul-06 | I have heard several CDTs.... HD are the mid level those are good but the ES are high end and definetly better, those are what I have...... |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1203 Registered: Aug-07 | you got the ES now M.S.? bumped up from the HDs? |
|
Silver Member Username: Chevyfan502AQ HDC315Elemental De... Post Number: 138 Registered: May-06 | k whats wrong with EA??? and what could i get then for 5.25's for around or under $200...for CDT or other??? |
|
Silver Member Username: Chevyfan502AQ HDC315Elemental De... Post Number: 139 Registered: May-06 | i also do not need a whole wiring kit, just 0 guage...at around $3/foot if i could get it for that, 25ft would be $75 or so.. |
|
Silver Member Username: Chevyfan502AQ HDC315Elemental De... Post Number: 140 Registered: May-06 | one more question...if i find good deals, such as off woofersetc or other, is anything of CDT good? |
|
Silver Member Username: Chevyfan502AQ HDC315Elemental De... Post Number: 141 Registered: May-06 | because i found some deals on CDT sets that are close out for $150 or less...so please opinion on that and also MS y do u say Excessive Amperage is not good? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8345 Registered: Jul-06 | Many people have had problems with EA alts more than most other companies.... Don't buy CDT from woofersetc it's a major ripoff, exgie has MUCH better prices. Abarca, I blew the mids when doing a stupid expirement  |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1209 Registered: Aug-07 | aww thats right i remember that thread...so you stepped up to the ES? x2 on not buying from woofersetc, they are also older models |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Es DEALER, GA USA Post Number: 2339 Registered: Mar-06 | Alt wise, yea alot of guys have been having more and more issues with the alts. Your stock will probably put out more amps at idle than EA's, and they are over rated too. Spend a little more and grab a good alt. Kevin |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8353 Registered: Jul-06 | Yea I am running ES-5 mids and DRT-25 tweeters on an Alpine 250w x 2. Not at full output of course. |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1210 Registered: Aug-07 | where can u find that amp M.S. for cheap? someone had a link a few weeks ago and it wasnt that much... ///sorry for thread jack/// |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8358 Registered: Jul-06 | It's the Alpine MRP-F550, when I got mine it was $220 at onlinecarstereo but they don't sell it anymore, they replaced it with the MRP-F600 which is even better: http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19060 But you can still get the 550 for ~$220 on ebay |
|
Gold Member Username: Hittin1Lake Charles, La. United States Post Number: 1243 Registered: May-07 | Abarca,Yes it was the HD's..,. I also run the F550.4.. Solid mid/highs amp. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8396 Registered: Jul-06 | Another option http://www.motorcityreman.com/97grpr3.html Both of those are very good but I recommend DB due to their excellent customer service. |
