I just replaced the rear speakers on my suv with a 2 way component speakers from Ct sounds, the 6.5 with tweeters and crossover and let me just say wow!! They added so much bass that I had to lower the bass from my dual 12 subs. And that's without a 4 channel amplifier running the car door speakers. I can just imagine once I power them with the amplifier. I was planning to get skar or Hyanka but when I saw this company is from my hometown and new in the game, I decided to give them a chance and I don't regret it at all whatsoever. Not to mention, most reviews are positive and that's a qualifying factor hard to please nowadays. I only regret not knowing about them sooner. If you have a doubt, make your research of course but I guarantee you that you won't be disappointed. I used to be skeptical with lesser known brands but this company makes quality, it's worth every single cent.

I like how the cat was called a person at the end. 😀 Cool that CT is bringing a budget friendly 3 way to the masses!

[@cargatube4473]

Bro those sound super clean on a side note that GTO is nice as well man great vid

[@c0c0asauce]

I'm about to get a set of 3 ways and a meso 15 for my Dad's CLK430. I think he's going to be happy with that system. He would probably never spend that kinda money on speakers for himself but he got me into audio so I want to build him a good daily system.

[@runthis8738]

I'm about to install the coaxial 6.5s from CT they seem beefy and well made. After door's are replaced I'll be adding a set of these I believe after seeing this. Really nice products!

If you ever want to give those away I'd happily take them off your hands. I've been eying those for a while now. Glad to see that they're everything I had hyped them up to be in my mind!!!

Great job parker!

[@4DSCdude]

i've been running a set of 3 way and a set of 2 way mesos on a ct80.4 for 2 years. they still sound great, super loud, super clear. such great equipment for the price

[@legendarytruth_t8265]

Is mid bass pretty good and how much power are you pushing them

[@4DSCdude]

@@legendarytruth_t8265 i'm running them on a ct sounds ct150.4 now, it's listed as 150w rms x 4 but it actually puts out a little more. the midbass is decent in my doors. the speakers(in my opinion) are very good for the price

[@legendarytruth_t8265]

@Jeff Sanders Have you ever heard midrange budget Focal, I was going for those but the price range on these I can buy both sets for the price of one Focal set, I'm just trying to get an honest review

[@4DSCdude]

@@legendarytruth_t8265 i have never even consider Focal because of the price. my guess would be the Focal will have a better overall "flat" sound. i have been under the impression that the ct sounds, especially the MESO line are built to get loud but not necessarily the best overall sound. that's just my thoughts. i can tell you that my two sets of meso components even on the 80w/channel amp were extremely loud and clear.

[@legendarytruth_t8265]

@Jeff Sanders I am going to give it a try running a set of 3 way Meso's in front and 2 way in the back ct.80AB, should have my Tundra equipped in about 2 weeks.

I've always ran Pioneer..... In everything ive owned speakers amps subs... Gunna get a ct sounds 3200.1 mono.... And give their speakers a try love ya videos man

They sound great. I already got the 2 ways but want these in my truck.

Loving CT Sounds. Want the Exo 12s. They need to make Exo 15s an 18s. That would be nasty

[@bojow8102]

I'm switching up my setup and going with CT sounds this time. Meso all the way 👍

Are you running the system off that battery ? And how did you hook everything up would love a video explaining how you’re powering it all and how does it get power to the battery

[@linc0292]

I work in an audio store and i get to try all this speakers and they sound really good

[@ElPatronPR]

Which component speaker out of the ones you have listened to has the best sound quality?

[@lanewarriorillridez3739]

How you think these Meso 3 ways compare to the JL Audio C5-653 3 ways?

[@cleebolt]

Great video bro! Thanks.

[@OutworkYesterday251]

hey Parker! would you say the meso 6.5 sounds better than the mids you have in your door panels?

[@drvictoria07]

Awesome 👍. Can you use that kit with DS18 6.5 Speakers?

[@mikecicero6177]

I am about to pull the trigger on a set of these, but have a quick question. What is the Ohm load at the input terminals of the crossovers with all three speakers connected? I would assume 4 Ohm?

[@bigbub54f100]

Bad ass Parker Grab some spacers so you can run wires in between the wall and crossovers and amps

[@jonadkins9339]

Lets see more of that GTO!

[@itdoesntmatterwhatyourname6128]

Jon Adkins and the Subie! I like the GTO but if much rather have that Subie, especially since that Goat appears to only be a factory 5.7l engine. When it comes to that model of Goats the 6.0 is the only way to go.

[@juliosandoval8244]

I been wanting to try these out in my car but wasn't sure how loud n clear are they.

[@VegasElement]

Did you have the high-pass filter on the amp, or were you running it with a full-range output? (EDIT) O.K., so I got to the part in the video where you said you had the HPF on in the deck, while setting the amp to full range....never thought of that, interesting.

[@alejandromunizramirez2991]

[@MrChamz99]

I'm getting this setup and was wondering what other amp would you recommend? I don't have much space so I was looking for a smaller profile amp

[@randybradley4151]

Does anyone know if you can use the CT Sounds Car Audio Passive 3 Way Crossover for home speakers and if so will it sound different. I am trying to wire a dual 12" woofer, 8" midrange and a 1.5" tweeter home speaker but cannot find a proper tutorial video on how to do it. Every tutorial that comes up is wiring the speakers to your amp/AVR.

[@zero_to_1000]

Do the 6.5's put out decent bass? My little car only has two speakers and I want some bass without adding a bunch of weight.

[@wherelilbubbyat]

Looking to run those 3.5" mids, already have the silk domes

[@dwaynevukoder1687]

I need those speakers!

[@llg7456]

Sounds good dude! Been wanting more high tweets for two separate 10's im running off of a 1200 watt amp. Only thing though how would I add some 2 way 4 inch speakers to the rear window? There is a factory sub in the window but no regular speakers except for in the rear doors... It's going in a 2007 Lexus ES 350 and every installer I ask is afraid to fool with it! I personally do not want to connect to my door speakers in the rear. I'd much rather to either splice into my factory amp or if it is possible hook them up to my aftermarket amp. But is that even possible?

[@MacRilla]

Bass Head kitty is a soldier 😁

[@lielie4055]

This will fit in a 2000 c230 komoressor? Front doors are 6.5 if so you think it’s a good start all my speakers are blown

I only watch for "bass kitty" 😂 jk good vid brotha

[@txddyfarquh3916]

As a Noob, I'm thinking about some component speakers ( be it 2 or 3way ) my question is, if I purchase a stand alone DSP will I still need to use x-overs?

[@irishmanbd8447]

They sound good

[@zachfrye-lofley184]

I know this is an old video. But could you hook up the 6.5 to the same output at the 3.5 if you wanted to have the same frequencies playing out of the 6.5?

[@williamtoth6186]

Open miss and woofer in the same airspace isn’t ideal

[@byronportilla5502]

Yeah those 3” mids won’t last long acting as passive radiators for the 6.5’s

[@shaggnasty3068]

They will be just fine it's not like a subwoofer that has 2 in of peak excursion there's plenty of air space in that box for those 6 and 1/2 and those 3 in

[@williamtoth6186]

@@shaggnasty3068 it may work but nonetheless it's modulating the cone of the mid which means increase in distortion of your music. And the whole reason to go 3 way is for less distortion and better soundstage.

[@bleachstain9785]

He could just seal those corners of the box up and they’d sound world better.

Got some orion hcca 6.5” loud speakers and I’m upset because upon further research came across these and I’ve heard from many that CT sounds is pretty good in terms of clarity at high volume. Might swap mine out to these..

[@MrFindoutman]

You technically don’t need the HPF on the stereo since you have the physical crossover that blocks out the lows.

[@ryze_tox9414]

parker i rlly need some help man, i got a evl 18 and a RP 2000.1 and i dont know how to wire it up ive tried and tried and i cant get it right, i just need to know how to wire the sub to the amp, i dont have abox just yet i just want to do an air test to make sure it works good.

[@shaggnasty3068]

Brr ya right lol we be bumping @ -60 below zero here in AK. U have to turn it car on an warm it up u also have to turn on ur subs super low volume so they warm up also or you will break em. Lol stay warm

[@majorwilkesjr.5827]

When amplified . Run head unit to amp . Amp to crossover . Crossover to speakers ?

[@SheDevilsGarage]

Parker im new to the channel so far lovin your videos reviews etc i would love for u to do a ( wiring installation like meaning explain on what size gauge power/ground wire and speaker wire a component needs and recommends for what wattage so no wires gets melted or catch fire .... what watt amps require what gauge power and speaker wire please and thank you

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Good idea I just might!

[@SheDevilsGarage]

@@ParkerTheBasshead awesome that would help me out on what gauge wire to get when i upgrade to more power, more bass and more rms amp

[@stateofemergency4966]

@@SheDevilsGarage 0 gauge ofc

[@SheDevilsGarage]

@@stateofemergency4966 i got 4 gauge atm only running 800 rms at the moment got a video of them on youtube here

[@itdoesntmatterwhatyourname6128]

@@SheDevilsGarage just ask us we'll tell you. Let us know what amps you have & I or someone else who sees your comment will give you solid info. Just remember you can never go too big with wire, only too small. So when in doubt always go the next size larger when it comes to wires. For most your 4 channel mids/highs amps 4 ga ofc power/ground will be plenty sufficient. Some only need 8 ga ofc but no more then 4 ga ofc wire costs I'd just go with the 4 gauge. Now like for 1200 watt rms and bigger sub amps I would run nothing smaller that 1/0 ga ofc. Always wanna make sure ya use wire that's gonna allow the amperage to run freely. If your power & speaker wires aren't getting warm after running your system hard for an hour or longer then you know you're using the right wire.

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

Is the crossover for the CT Meso 2 way components the same as the 3 way one? Another-wards I have a pair of 3.5” speakers and was wondering if I bought a new CT Meso 2 way would the crossover have a spot to hook up a 3.5” to it?

I just got 2 sets of the Meso 6.5’s and a ATv2-150.6d to drive em. Gotta do a bunch of crap to get them installed in my 06 IS250. I've studied SO MANY HOURS of wiring diagrams and different OE integration systems every spare minute I've had the past few weeks...Nightmare install but they're gonna sound better than the OEM, Pioneer amplified, non removable HVAC intertwined clusterfizzle that's EQ'd up the wazoo(another $500+ for an aftermarket fascia, but that's Phase 2ish, gotta eat the 🐘 in front of me first) 🤮😖😩😩 Subs eventually but seriously, to do this install, the $850 or whatever in speakers and amps is hopefully almost half of the whole price once finished... And I'm doing the work myself, can't imagine letting some rando freshly blazed off lunch break hack my ol' girl up. She's particular and knows what she likes. Gotta warm her up, be gentle. We'll EVENTUALLY get to the pounding we all love so much but ya gotta build up to it, ya know??🤣🤣
