Anyone Here That Competes?

my buddy had one of the 1001 DXs but it cooked prematurely...and it would often go to impedance protection when it shouldnt have...running a pair of dual 4 ohm Morel Renaissance subs...it would always go into impedance protection on a really hard and low note...

do you really like the way the Alpine speakers sound? I have never been a huge fan of any of their speakers, including the DDDrives...

what has been your MAX SPL score on the dash (no portwars or outlaw scores)?

have you listened to any of the Focals? the only strike against them is perhaps the titanium tweeters...but they are an awesome sounding speaker...so are the Morels, the Dyns, and the Rainbows...and have you heard of a Canadian company called AVI? they are about a half hour drive from me and they have phenomenal sounding speakers...perhaps the best sounding speakers these poor ears have ever heard...the set I am talking about is called the Tri-Star 3 ways, of the BSM line...if you can listen somewhere, I would highly reccomend it...

not saying that the QSDs are bad speakers either, but so often I hear people refer to one brand as being the best by far...I always like to provide a variety of options, because there is a lot of personal preference when it comes to speakers of this calibre...
