A while back my friend Leo (300z) put in his car Dayton RS tweeters & Dayton RS180s 7" drivers. The are installed in stock locations in a Corrado VR6.
My first impression was how open & clear it sounded. The Dayton RS tweeters are amazing & coupled with the RS mids they are good enough to rival speakers many many times their cost.
I thought my OZ were it, I swore this is it... it could be better but my OZ sound very good. Well thanks to Leo I now have less money in the bank...
I ordered the same tweeters but they are not in yet. But I did get a chance to put in the 6" mids to replace my OZ CS-130 5.25" mids.
I'll keep this short & sweet... the mids are bandpassed 3400hz-160hz 12db.
Vocals are very airy, open. the truck had a nice wide stage... I think it is wider now. Females are more detailed, high pitch female tones are a breeze for these speaker, you expect them to break up & it just wont happen. Males were no problem before with the OZ, and the Daytons match them in that regard, but I think the low end of male vocals are a bit more balanced than before due to the larger speaker having a bit better response down low.
My ref mid-range driver has been the Focal Utopia 5"... BobG has these in his car & can't wait to listen to his ride again. They used to be in Beef316 car & that car got 1st @ SBN in IASCA Street class a few years ago ... I feel that I have found a driver that can match the Utopia I so loved for a fraction of the price.
I am currently runnung LPG 25nfa tweets (4 of them) & I hope to soon drop in the Dayton RS, since Leo currently used them I have not found another ref tweeter that I like better... yet
