ok, bought this for $150 at Walmart, thought it be lulzy, but it actually does work, and has 1 year replacement warranty

sound quality sucks on my cell phone, but it shows the power atleast...

can't wait to see what Ryan says :p

My friends is running some of those cheap Duals in his cavalier off of my old Hifonics amp. They are seeing close to 600 watts a piece. Don't sound bad at all for the money imo.

I'd be willing to bet if you faced them both towards the rear and got them as close to the back as you could, you would gain a bit.

you mean right behind the seats? yeah i had the single like that, but the two wont fit side by side...

I mean all the way to the rear. When I ran my two 15"s sealed I would gain close to two decibels by having the speakers almost hitting off of the trunk latch area.

I bet you'd gain a few dB if you mounted them on each side of the driver's seat... so the cone bounces off your ear lobe. :p

How could I have overlooked this?! And if you ever upgrade to the VR3 co-axials from Wal-Mart, Cherri and I have came to the conclusion that speaker placement under the seats creates the "best" stereo imaging. :lol:

also... replacing your windshield with speakers gives a GREAT front sound stage.

really shakes the nose hairs.

I dont see whats so spectacular?

Other than its Dual and it works!

:lol:

Now enough joking. Its all about whats good enough for you. Comparing that to nothing sure its good. Compare that to a set of Fi Q's and you wouldnt hold a candle...

Its all about perspective. When you have none then... well you get the picture.

:lol:

That is exactly what i was getting at, in the alero i had Dual 6X9's in back and I blew em up in a week, these are so much better quality than the speakers were, and they also blow my 10'' kickers out of the water, and are using 1/2 the wattage

what I'm getting at is for budget audio, these kick ass, not that they could ever compare to anything like JL or Fi Q's

HaHa...I like the water bottle and change demo....LOL!

No need to spend a fortune on sound for a daily driver...unless you are in comp...but that's my opinion.

no they don't really distort like that, just the camera's crappy frame rate...

As crappy as Dual brand is... I respect their subs for the price.

Those preloaded bandpass boxes w/ the LEDs in them may not sound good, but they get decently loud.

anything sounds good to an inexperienced ear. (everyone who hasn't heard quality yet)

which is why I hate car audio. You think your setup is awesome, till you meet someone with their car's value in sound equipment w/ good imaging.

then I die a little inside.

When its all said and done the only thing that truly matters is how it sounds to the owner.
