    Cool.

    Im most curious to see how your experience with Acaraudio goes.

    Theyve got some awesome prices, Im just leary of them for not being authorized by anybody apparantly. If all goes well and you dont get some rebadged Sparkomatics, I may give em a call.

    actually im going with either cbrstereo or onlinecarstereo...cbr is cheaper at 212 but doesnt include shipping...with shipping i think onlinecarstereo is only a couple bucks more expensive...ill have to look again, id rather go with onlinecarstereo since ive ordered from them before without a hassle

    Dont ya think Acaraudio looks a little more reputable.

    Their website appears to be high quality which is usually a good sign.

    acaraudio lists them for $269 and i think they have free shipping
    onlinecarstereo lists them for $229 with free shipping
    cbrstereo has them for $212.63+$14.14 shipping=$226.77
    so im probably just going to go with onlinecarstereo on this one

    Cool.

    Be sure and let us know how it goes. Im really curious about this.

    I just dont understand where these companies get their products from if theyre not authorized? Im sure theyre not all crooks but I still want to know.

    I think they would be best. Ive never heard CDT's but have never really heard anything about them either. I know the Diamonds are awesome speakers and youll be plenty happy with them.

    Youre getting a good deal on the Diamonds. They go for $360 at my local shop.

    CDTs are excellent speakers
    for $150, you would be getting one heck of a deal
    i was considering the CDT Eurosports for for my 3-ways before i knew i could get Iridiums for almost half of retail...

    Man, I would love to give some Iridiums a listen. There isnt a DLS dealer anywhere nearby me. Hell, this area is a black hole when it comes to speakers. You have to go all the way to Atlanta or Nashville to get anything like DynAudios or Morel. Chattanooga is a really big city and I dont understand why we dont have any local dealers. :(

    Where will you be buying your DLS stuff from?

    Is there an online dealer or is there a shop near you?

    You should check at an ATM. My bank's website takes a freaking week it seems to update but the ATM should be accurate.

    Im curious about the Diamonds midbass. I keep hearing that its not that spectacular. Ive heard them before in showrooms and in a demo car and they sounded awesome although I didnt get a chance to audition them extensively though.

    Hell yeah!

    So you should be getting a all new stereo about the same time.

    Cant wait to hear the reviews.

    But you know whats going to happen next dont ya. Those RF amps are gonna start to look awfully old and plain next to those spiffy new speakers and subs and before ya know it youll find yourself veiwing USAmps or Hifonics amps online and counting your money!

    oo i already have plans for new amps
    lol
    the main contender is USAmps
    they have a single 3000 watt x1 @ 2 ohms that ill be getting to power the brahmas
    then like a 300x2 for the fronts...rear speakers off the HU...but theyll be faded off unless i have passengers and im not listening to music
    i might go HiFonics or Cadence
    those are the top 3 contenders right now...
    but those come after the new truck and the high output alternator:D

    300 watts to each front channel? :rolleyes:
    You just wont be happy til you blow a hole thru your door panels will you? LOL

    Cadence amp? I dont know much about those.

    And Im willing to bet youll have at least one new amp before the new truck! I know the feeling. I was just gonna buy 1 amp for my mids/highs. Well the second I had another $250 lying around it was gone on the 2nd amp. As soon as another $200 finds its way to my wallet itll be gone on a sub (looking at the Orion P10").
