Cool, I just knew you would all come around. But I did learn something. When a kid has $129 speakers and a $136. amplifier and asks how to improve his sound quality. Just recommend he adds some $49 “Pro Audio” woofers to his lowers and that will solve all his problems, lmao... give me a break

The difference here is the rest of us have tried multiple speakers and in different locations
you asked American hardbag what was best and you went with their suggestion and now that’s what you recommend
and that only. Your theory has so many holes in it and honestly it’s too bad your allowed to keep posting. I have heard two
speaker systems that would blow yours away guaranteed. It would be nice if you didn’t offer anymore confusing thoughts
tonanyone on here as it really clouds up what the rest of us are trying to accomplish here.

Mike, I am glad Bates got you the info you needed. I will say I had a set of mlk 1650's in the fairing and although they had soms damn good SQ they just didn't have the volume that a pa speaker has. Same with the lowers as when I put them down yonder, they got drowned out by the pa's in the fairing. I ended up selling them.

Actually, I think you should add another tweeter to each speaker. That would be phenomenal.

U better toss all that shix out. I just ripped all my stuff out too.

U really should not mismatch amp brands either so toss that stuff to.
