I did a quick ABN search, appears WA only deal.
Seriously, any decent offer shows the exact model numbers of the sale and not just some major show-off specs.
Soundstream - yuck!
I'm not sure of your Audio background and your entitled to your option just curious why "yuck"?
To be fair im/we are not sure of your audio background either
More than happy to demonstrate their gear :-) and they don't have more than 83 industry awards for nothing. ;-)
i'd say the same of kicker.
Atleast i've won a few competitions and done a few spec builds for shows with sound steam subwoofers. I have not touched any of their low end stuff in a while i've heard no good things.
Anyways mate not having a dig, a lot of people here know their crap about car audio and some think they do.
To satisfy them the best way to post up deals here is Model number, pic, a price better than importing it (as most of us will know the cheapest price here already, post higher than that claiming its a bargain and you'l get flamed by the kids).
Specs on what your selling clearly laid out.
Then let the deal speak for itself and you don't have to spruke any awards, deal with many flamers, let the facts speak for themselves.
cheers.
Do you have their 8inch Components in stock?
They look like a fun way to lose my subwoofers weight, but keep 2x 8" cones in mix.
How do you feel about the latest range of shallow mount kickers?
I was genuinely blown away by the clarity and response of their latest CS654 range for OEM replacements. Even on head unit power.
Ran 8 of them at 2Ohm with a 40hz crossover, and all I could say was wow.
@MasterScythe: have not had a chance to look at them.
Believe it or not in my current daily im rocking a mixed setup of terrible pioneers mismatched with some jvc 6x9s, even with junk you can tune it to a reasonable level if you know what your doing.
I love pioneer but we're talking their absolute lowest range, came with the car. Was going to change them over but just decided i'd test out some new cheap sound proofing gear and some new techniques I learned off some of the guys from the US at a recent meet.
Made a terrible setup sound reasonable and we've since done a similar setup making a custom box for a mate who got suckered into buying a terrible sony subwoofer, just made him the best damn box possible for it.
@MasterScythe:
Hey mate
sorry i dont have any in stock i can get 8" subs or co-axials in but id have to confirm about splits, any brand in particular?
@acex1138:
thanks for that
yeah the entry level is not great, but suppose its there to meet a price point.
@petey bobby: sad thing is, most of the time they are too worried making them look good instead of making the parts good….
Soundstream are similar to RF, great for 17yos wanting punching bass, sh*t for everything else. If you were truly wanting to look at an all-round speaker, you'd be looking at Eclipse, Focal etc
Given that neither of those brands are shown in your list, there's no point debating about them as no doubt you will be heavily biased towards the brands you sell.
Oh, and why do a package like that without an amp? Or is that just where the upsell comes in later on? Noone would/should be powering those speakers straight from a HU pushing out about 22W RMS per channel.
Each there own but im sure if you have listen to them recently side by side, you may say otherwise like a number of customers have, and I'am a seller of Hertz and Focal and i think they are awesome. I usually leave it to the customer they have a listen and they can make the judgement.
I'm not associated with the seller, but I'm going to stick up for him in saying Focal and Eclipse require a certain type of ear.
I spent 2 years legally blind, and identify sound very well as a side effect.
I'll blind A to B DynAudio next to a Paradigm speaker and tell you which is which every time.
And as everyone has different ears, to me, focal is bright. Much too bright. I was sitting in their demo car, "fully tuned" and they couldn't impress me.
The Eclipse demo car was much the same IIRC.
Next to it was a Phoenix Gold demo car, and that was much cleaner to my ears. I could have listened to that all day.
(for a laugh I sat in the Fusion car, and noticed one sub was out of phase to the rest, lol, it was all mud either way in that thing)
At the price point in question, the latest range of Kickers have gone from "cheap shit" to surprisingly warm yet accurate. And Cadence is (IMO) making a huge comeback.
There's no denying that Focal, Ecipse and Audison are "the bees knees" for a very big group of people.
But when I'm so used to having to literally listen for every sound, in real life, the bright overbearing-ness of Focals eat me alive. Especially the lower end of their range.
The same goes double for MB-Quart.
To go to even more severe extremes, the super bright high pitched Entry level SONY speakers are my old mans favorites, as he has industrial damage, and loses high pitch sounds easily.
Ears are all different, soundstream coul be much worse! Especially at the price point.
@MasterScythe:
thanks i appreciate your opinion,
I dont like the sound of the entry levels of Soundstream, but these splits are $449 retail, that and the audio quality (IMO) i don't class them as entry level. But again each their own. I like customers to hear them, after all they will live with them. That's why we are currently building another soundboard for customers to hear it for themselves. But id be interested to get your opinion on them too :-)
Had a bit of a search and the pricing is good imo.
A few audio peeps here it seems from the above, i'd throw in the perhaps controversial opinion that if you're starting with a half decent factory system (i.e. your car is a late model one from someone that isnt Chery or Great wall) the biggest improvement is going to be adding an amplifier. Once having done this, i'd add a subwoofer, then replace speakers and head unit last.
Of course, if your car is from 1991 (like my project car), the head unit probably needs to come first as i don't own any cassettes anymore and AM is only interesting while parliament isnt sitting.
Any deals on just the head unit as i already have a pair of Alpine Type X Reference components (and a set of Rainbow germaniums in my other car) - Thanks!
I was going to see what Eclipse were offering lately … then I discovered they've pretty much backed out of the Head Unit market :( Shame, used to have good clean outputs!
Sure Matt ill have a look, is there an advertised price that you want me to beat?
Might be helpful if you put what state you are located in.
