[@edub3328]

Nice thanks I had the pioneer pro's they nice going to try the ds18 next summer on the bike

[@eDL713]

Ds18 usually pushes or requires more power and a little tweaking on the EQ. You can see it hitting higher decibels on the reader. They sound great when tuned

[@glubrix]

Yes, DS18 must be tuned because it is a midrange designed to work coupled with woofer/sub below 80hz thus increasing the bass; and when the bass increases you have to balance the highs too.

[@stephenwheeler8021]

​@glubrix so what is the best crossover frequency for the zt69s. I'm planning on getting 4 of them with a ds18 amp. I'm guessing 170hz.

[@theophany1770]

Just found your channel and subbed! Pioneer sounded better to me. Looking for some good 6x9's for my motorcycle. Unfortunately neither of these are water resistant. Thanks man

[@jembo231jem4]

I have them in my car and they have no bass..I am thinking of getting a small subwoofer..Too much tweeter and no bass. I also have a good amplifier.I am disappointed.

[@robsorgdrager8477]

@@thekgi1349 you have done something wrong then. I've installed these in almost every vehicle I've owned in the last 12 years and drove them off the deck with impressive results. You won't rattle the trunk with these as they are meant to be used as mid bass and highs. These things belt out guitar and snare like nothing else. If you listen to EDM these make all the middle frequency better. Using these as bass drivers can be done but don't expect them to act like a actual sub bass driver.

[@thekgi1349]

I have had them for about two days not. I installed Pioneer pro 6.5 inch at the front and 6by 9 back. Yesterday they sounded much better but I was advised to change my factory radio and I will do that soon. I was expecting the dame bass as U heard in my friends fathers car..he installed pioneer 5 way at the rear and I tell you the bass is much better than on my pioneer pro 6by 9 even though I paid more than double for the speakers.

Honestly, these speakers are designed for infinite baffle, meaning no real enclosure with only a wall between the front and rear of said speaker. That said the pioneer sounds better. the DS18 sounds too tinny

[@shushdeeni1068]

Music from KZbin has a lot of distortion in it. I've looked at tracks in Adobe Audition and a majority of the songs have high levels of distortion added to it. That distortion is sending a clipped signal through your amp which is causing some speakers coils to burn up.

[@dan3510]

If your 6.5 or 6x9 is "PRO AUDIO" that means it will play the MIDRANGE frequencies louder than a normal 6.5 or 6x9s. The trade off is little to no bass.

I agree 100% nice tuning mid and high rang sound amazing pair with tweeters and subs for bass and run a capacitor with epicenter clean up all the music frequencies! Im thinking of running ds18 and Orion in combination but run the Orion in a separate amplifier just to hit all the ranges and a single 10” sub with epicenter and tune all the speakers to correct ohm and hertz. In my Honda I’m running 4 6x9s and 4 6.5 door speakers all kicker with 4 infinity tweeters and a 2000 watt amp & sub. But it’s all tuned in and not just bass covering bad sound from crap speakers.

Mike you are doing the same error like another your video: Pioneer si 4ohm fullrange 29/40Khz crossover 40Hz. While DS18 is declared as midrange use: 4ohm 60/22Khz -crossover 80hz. They are all 2 good: the choice between one and the other depends on what you are going to assemble.

[@danielbeavers8701]

Sundown is for compition. They sound like garbage. They are for low bass. Basically flopping air! They make a couple music subs but there are ones for cheaper that are better. A lot of people new to systems watch KZbin and see everyone using sundown so they run out and buy one for every day use and there not happy because they just flop air around. Now they are the lowest hitting sub. But if you're wanting to ride around beating on music there is much better. Like Rockford fosgate power series, JL audio w7, the Orian are more towards the low side but sounds pretty good. The mtx 9500 sounds amazing, the solobarics l7 and soloy× they are one of the loudest in volume and they hit! Hard as hell but they don't get really low.

Not exactly comparing apples to apples here. The speakers need to be tuned differently to get a similar sound. The DS18 sounds great out of the Box and hits high notes relatively easy.

with all the respect Sir, how about put the rms voltage that they claim to handle nothing more nothing less? All your videos you not stating the voltage that you are using, you should set amps accordingly to what the speaker cam handle its simple as that, then do the test Sir.
