ah. hmm... well.. here what i have...

http://soundstream.com/AudioProducts.../tarantula.htm (last version. new ones look different)

recommendations?

Hell, given what I can find/see...

Your crossover points a 2KHz. So as long as the mid you pick out can hit 3 KHz you will be fine. You will want a speaker that can handle at least 75 WRMS, maybe 100.

What amp were you powering these with?

cherrington17 · 05-13-2009, 06:14 AM

an olde..

power output on the gain isn't maxed, either. 2 channels go to the front, 2 to the back.

Ryan from Ohio · 05-13-2009, 09:36 AM

OMG toss that relic ASAP.

10% THD? OMG.

Get a new amp! Replace your mids or just buy a whole new comp setup.

cherrington17 · 05-13-2009, 09:42 AM

i'm eager awaiting for a good deal on a replacement amp... but as it stands... i haven't seen anything to fit as a decent replacement

Ryan from Ohio · 05-13-2009, 09:44 AM

Ive looked at Parts Express and I dont know if they trimmed their speaker line up but they certainly did change their website layout.

Silentalero · 05-13-2009, 01:48 PM

have you ever looked into cadence cherry? THey have some good stuff to.

We just had the owner of power acoustics/soundstream in here this morning and he was telling us that slowly they are reamping that line but as of now its not the greatest quality

Im getting the specs for the subs, but since we just got the info 2 days ago I gotta have him forward me the email

I got to agree with silent that my cadence amp has served me well since I got it....Ryan turned me on to them...haven't heard him say much about them recently?

I got the TXA-3002 600watts rms...and I feel it...lol

cherrington17 · 05-13-2009, 02:19 PM

I'm definitely waiting for the next cadence summer sale. I almost jump on one last year, but money was thin. I'm already saving for one now.

They still got some good ones left and for 129 to 179 you get more then you pay for.

Well the good news is, the new shockwave line that we're coming out with is cadence's design with better internals, connectors and whatnot. Platinum circuit boards, 100% waterproof and a 100 fully lifetime guarantee. Even against physical damage. You just pay 10% of retail and you get a new speaker.

There wont be any internet sales either so this way you know where it comes from

Ryan from Ohio · 05-13-2009, 02:45 PM

Cadence is OK for the money. But theres way far better out there.

Ryan from Ohio · 05-13-2009, 02:54 PM

Heres a cheap option Cherry:
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=290-308

The RS Lines a little more costly, but its a better mid.

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...TOKEN=24864009

If your interested you could just go with the RS's and a value tweeter and pick up a 4 channel amp or 2 two channels and a crossover and run active. Yes its a lot but its more rewarding.

cherrington17 · 05-13-2009, 03:00 PM

run active? / (elaborate)

and as it stands, couldn't i keep the tweeters/xover i currently have... along with those RS woofers?

Ryan from Ohio · 05-13-2009, 03:06 PM

Yes, just plug and pay different woofers.

cherrington17 · 05-13-2009, 03:10 PM

ok. i'll keep that in mind. I'm not doing anything yet, due to ASS funds and Fiberglass pods.... but maybe toward summers end.... hmm

anyone else have speaker questions they want to throw in here?

or have a 4chan cadence amp they want to sell, cheap?

one 4 chan or two 2 chan is the same difference.....and for little over 200 thats cheap....look on there forum members there have some deals on there from time to time on expensive stuff.

cherrington17 · 05-13-2009, 03:20 PM

i don't have the room to do 2x2chan. My sub amp takes up half the wall.. and my current 4chan takes up the other half. the 2chans would be overlaping each other.

Like? don't hold out on me!

best bang for the buck. I'm looking for clarity, not necessarily obscene power. $200 isn't my limit, if something is far better... i just don't want to try to justify spending 500 on an amp
