If you hit "I want one" takes you to Car Audio Giants and it's 375.00...

BUT, if you take the Car Audio Giants link to Al&Eds Autosound, they will price match it and sell it to you 100% authorized...

[HonduhPowa]

^Didn't know that, Still $375 is pretty good

Your on xceed aren't you? Small world, lol.

[Aaron'z 2.5RS]

Yep, I'm all over the place..

375 is awesome considering we just got my GF a Pioneer 3300bt for 345 shipped...

[WRBear]

I like the 3300bt more. I've considered replacing my 4100 with a 3300, because I hear the Bluetooth works better with the iPhone contacts and such. And I never really utilized the larger screen anyways.

Sweet...!! Keep us posted on how it goes, what you get(pics), service...ect.. thanks..

[Benhart21]

Will do. I still need to get an amp and some sound deadening/ensolite for the doors, so I have no idea how long before they're actually in the car and working.

[Aaron'z 2.5RS]

You could get some pics, maybe a depth measurement..

Cadence Audio 6.5" comps/coax cheap...

79.00(comps)/59.00(coaxial) Direct from Cadence.. http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductC...idCategory=126

59.00 for the comps on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Cadence-CWM-...-/290534910925

The review:
Last weekend I had a chance to catch up with Kevin. The install was nothing short of professional. His friends mounted the Cadence amp in the rear next to the sub. They also installed two small fans within the amp rack in a "push-pull" array to ensure that party will never stop. The mids were installed in the door and 1" silk domes were mounted in the dash. Ensolite and Rammat were installed in the doors and rear area of the hatch.
Kevin fired up a CD that he recorded with his jazz band at school and a few other "test" cds. First thing I noticed was how wide and deep his soundstage was. We all know that soundstage depth is hard to achieve in many installs. Midbass was solid, very solid. The type of midbass you can feel at the bottom of your legs. Vocals were strong, but maybe not as strong as some would like. B.B. King did sound very natural within the stage. At times imaging would "wonder" a bit with some tracks, but nothing seriously bad. Kevin noted that the 1" silk domes were a tad bright and his friend made some cuts with the 880. The entire time I couldn't believe I was listening to a $75 dollar pair of comps.
After further investigation, I found out that the install was running active?? Wow. His friend did a hell of a good job, but meanwhile in conversation, Kevin's friend works for a local install shop part time and views this forum consistently LOL!! Small world. I was also informed that the comps do sound well with the passives, but due to the tweeter mounted in the dash area, Kevin's bud wanted a little bit more control. Smart.
The tweeters are being driven off of the Pioneer 880, Mids 150x2 and 600x1 to the ID sub all from the Cadence Amp.
Side note: I had forgotten how good the ID subs were. In fact, I don't know why they are not more highly regarded than the IDQ. The ID digs deeper and $$$ cheaper than the IDQ. Better build quality as well in my book. It's 2008 and the IDQ's are still using spade terminals???
Overall, this is a damn good comp set. I think this should be the new value leader. I feel this comp set would still be worth the value if priced at $150 shipped. I ordered another pair just to have. I know the PG vs. Cadence question will pop up. After spending time with the PG set, I would have to go with the Cadence, only because of the extra saving. Performance wise is close, maybe the PG set taking the victory. PG's have just a tad more midbass, but both are smooth movers. For $ 75 bucks, I'll go with the Cadence with some minor tuning. On overall great value that should be looked at.

Better can be had for less (see the cadence deal above)

Power Bass is also the company that is now "Image Dynamics" or basically shady mother-effers.. IMHO.. I have not and will not ever buy a PB product.. That is based souly on principal and reputation alone though..

Could be a decent deal... In all my time, I've never herd anything about PB, good or bad really.. just not on the radar..

Hmmm so you are angry because they bought ID (me too), but their stuff is actually quite nice. I have a brand new 2xl 10 sitting right here next to me waiting to go in the wrx. Those are very nice comps, as are the cadences but both will be hard to fit in subby doors because they are so deep.

[Zachfeen]

On that note, here. Great sq small sealed box sub that can get very loud (and easily handle twice the rated power)

No, I am angry because Eric got screwed out of/pushed out of ID by his "partner" from my understanding..

Powerbass will keep the ID name, but it's not/won't be the same, and everyone is MAD.. so mad they are dumping all of their ID gear (lots of deals right now)

It's messed up, but the outpouring of support for Eric is incredible

[Zachfeen]

Eric will get back on his feet. No doubt in my mind. The story is what I heard too but thats not really powerbasses fault, its his partner's fault. What I heard is the product will remain the same, but of course the support won't be.

[labcoat]

ID just not being the same is sad it is just the most recent in a long line of audio companies to fall.

The only thing I can say about Power base amps is they are just like VIBE light amps all from U buy. So they are the same design who knows id they are the same parts. Me thinks Vibe is overstating there power.

Very possible.. I mean for the money, the topology is the same, but I doubt the components are.. So it's possible...

BUT, FOR the money, it's STILL hard to beat..
