Do you have an amp?

It's power hungry. You will need at least a REAL amp with 2x150W RMS.

Am currently using MK240, which is the older version. It doesn't perform to its optimum with my current amp. Still sound okay, just not enough.

good comps set. Its one of my choices when getting my comps but i end up with a ETON comps set. Yes it need a powerful amp to fully juice up this comps set. Dont ever think if u got a 100W rms amp to pump it.

It is a recommended set. Not too bright. Unlike a brand everyone recommends EhemfocalEhem.

Dyn is nice, warm.

Bridge your amp. won't regret.

Be prepared to splurge on amps. The dyns generally are hard to please. Plenty of headroom is what it usually needs.

Wah.. no need kwa, such 'expensive' amps.

As far as the Dyns go,
1) Orig passive - 150w x 2 and above...
2) Active - 120w x 4 and above... but 100w x 4 on an amp with plenty of headroom could be just enough
3) Custom passive with impedance correction - 100w x 2 and above...

Tested, been there done that.

Yeah, I am currently hooking up the Dyns with JL 300/2 and AudioSystem 2.150, running on active, with Alpine 9855, and it still doesnt sound right.

The audioshop i went to suggest me changing to the previous model of Tru Technology, T3250, which has power of 250 per channel. So i am wondering should i change or not.

Just a 2 cent thought, be prepared to spend ALOT on amp, to make the Dyns sound like a Dyn.

Nice, but I doubt there is any problem with your power right now.

Maybe your install and tuning. I used tonnes of time and advice from friends to figure out the x-over points. And I'm still trying to get the best out of it.

What is your dissatisfaction rite now?
