Well said, but i think we all know I can do better especially if i drop $150 or more. Don't get me wrong, id like to change it up AND get something better. That's my question to you, what do you think I could take a look at? Just want to view my options. Because its been over a year since ive changed anything in my car...Almost feel like im itching to so something. And let me add on to what I said before. I have only owned a short list of comp speakers, most of which were nothing special. Partly the reason for wanting something more of the mid to upper level cost and performance.

Honestly, the Rsd's have been great ( in low response and the tweets). Especially for what I paid for them. Just seemed a bit better all around from what ive owned in the previous.

Got the deadner checked off. As far as going active, I really have no want to do so. I am very pleased with my setup now for what I use it for. Having better speakers with better tweeters would be more then enough on my plate. It's something ive considered but didn't want to get involved.

Yeah, the tweeters and bass response didn't impress me in my setup. But they weren't the top of the line CDT's.. Ohwell I'm fine with and up to 200$ for a pair of good comps...But obviously, if I can spend 150$ on a great pair and improve on performance from where I am at now...Id consider that money well spent. Thanks M5 Seems like your always helping me.

I owned CDT aswell and to be honest my PG definitely seemed alot better. BUT, my issue with CDT is that is so many damn models...God knows what I had lol.. thanks for the input.

I mean ill spend the money on a new GOOD set. I like these RSD and on my Alpine digi amp its been really good clean power. And yes the tweets definitely let you know when they got dirty. They have lasted a year so im decently happy. I was thinking these Polk Momo Comps.... http://www.woofersetc.com/p2571/MM6--Polk-Audio-65"-Momo-Competition-Component-Set.htm or these.. http://www.woofersetc.com/p7105/MM6501--Polk-Audio-65"-Component-Speaker-System.htm What do you guys think? Appreciate the help and after seeing the difference one crappy tweeter, I am a big believer of having GOOD quality stuff in the frontstage.

Alright. I understand. Well, what are my options as far as upgrading then. A; buy a complete new set. B; new Cross Os and tweeters. Suggestions please?

What could be the problem of using the existing cross o's with just new and better tweeter?? Thanks man.

RECONE! I had the same thing happen (smaller tears) to my BL that was about a year old. I believe that going below my tuning and over extending my sub was the cause. I noticed significant output loss after I heard it bottom out. Once I removed the sub and saw the tears I put two and two together.

For box purposes, I am looking to get an idea of the weight of the 15 inch HDC3 and the 2009BL. I know my old BL was around 34 pounds but I know the new ones are heavier. Any info would help. Thanks

He is knowledgeable but he doesn't have to be a dick about it. I am going to be doing 5 subs. A ten pound difference in this setup is a big difference for all you "know it all's". Suspension in this car is now insufficient for this build. Thanks for all that help and no thanks for the dopes that have big mouths.

The weight has NOTHING to do with the design of a box, nothing. Are you my mom? For what im planning I need to know. Dope.

I am running 2,000+ on my BL. Ran daily for about a year no problem. I did run into a problem with the suspension tearing but I think it was due to the fact that I went below tuning on my box and over extended the sub...Several times. Was time for something new anyway.

I need to find out asap so I can calculate and design the box. Pretty important in this potential design. I remember reading that the new BL was upwards of 10pds heavier but I cannot confirm this at all. Got the weight for the AQ.

The previous BL weight was about 34pds IIRC... How much weight are they up to now with the new driver for the 15inch?

I have a 2008 bl 15 w cooling and flatwind option on a us amps 2000x (2000w easily). Have had this setup for bout 9 months now running with no issues but it seems as of late that it just doesn't seem to be as accurate as it used to be. Also feels like I'm missing some punch. Being that I've been throwing a lot of power to it, possible that the soft parts properties changing from all the movement?

Good point but I have a very good sense of feel. I race cars and gokarts professionally and we tend to have "spidey like senses". And I def agree that it went thru small changes in the first few days. I shall check the coils, didn't think of that. The 2009 version sounds tasty especially if it turns out to be a nice upgrade from the old model. Thanks guy.

I have a BL 15 D2 running at 2000W (bridged) 4ohm on my US 2000x currently. Would hooking up each coil to each channel yielding 1000W at 2ohm to each coil make any difference? I would say no because 4ohm is more efficient? Thanks

Good info. Thanks

Id disagree on that one. My friend acquired one of those amps and I thought it was performing quite well. For the $ I wouldn't say anything negative on it.

Is there any info (approximate date, type of speaker etc..) on the "new line" that is going to be released?

I called alpine and they said this happens when the LOUDNESS setting is ON. When it is off it doesn't change at volume level 22...But in my case it is! Guess I call back alpine and tell them.. Ready to put my damn 9827 back in

Having a small issue with the 9884. The H/U automatically decreases the treble (noticeably) above 25 on the volume setting. Same problem when using the tuner/xm unit to which I have the gain at maximum on the xm or else it's too low. How can I turn this automatic function off? My old Cda-9827 used to crank the volume way higher with NO problem. Now I can only reach 90% of its limits before it starts changing the balance and sounds like chit. Pisssing me off

I turned the gain up on the amp to keep the setting low on the H/U and that seemed to help alittle...Also put the xovers at +3 and that helped too but still am having this problem.
