.............. I switched to JBL ..GTO 528 front and 428 rear back in June. IMHO and M109Dreamer,( he did this also ) they are clear, crisp, and can do this at volume levels you won't use because they will hurt your ears .......I paid $ 100 for all four shipped to me ......they are 2 OHM and that's why they do what they do so well.............People at Spyderquest in NY in Sept. were AMAZED at the sound quality and volume ....PM Him for His opinion ..........Mike ...........PS , We have RT's so I'm not sure the 528 will fit an ST but the 428 should
I wouldn't say OBSOLETE, they have been superseded by the 429.........I have looked at the specs ...and considering the price increase I would stick with the 428.....they are still available at many outlets ............probably for less now than what I paid.....................Before you buy anything ...check the HOLE size where the speakers need to fit into....you may be able to go with the 528.......BUT CHECK IT FIRST ................Mike :thumbup:
......................Since I have them and recommend them.......in the specs you will find no materials they use to make the speakers that absorb water.......I have both the 528 & 428 and have been in the rain and have washed my Spyder and have had no problems with them...............When I removed the OEM speakers and examined them , I wondered how BRP ( or the supplier ) actually made THEM waterproof ??????, because they didn't look it...........................Mike :thumbup:........................PS.....In order to get "SOUND " improvement all the speakers have to be the same impedance ....The JBL - GTO series are 2 OHM.......The OEM speakers are 4 OHM's .....at 1/2 volume the OEM's are going to break up and that is what you will hear ............not the clarity of the JBL's .......I hope this helps ......Mike :thumbup:
You were at SPYDERQUEST ......Did you hear my speakers while you were there.............................Mike :thumbup:
..................:lecturef_smilie:...YOU DO NOT WANT ....3 OHM SPEAKERS ......I'm the guy who recommends 2 ohm speakers........for a darn good reason.............Mike .................And there are plenty of 428's on E-Bay I just checked
.........................Billy that's a great informative explanation..................................Do you now know what all of that means.....................................I'm guessing you may still be somewhat confused ....Don't feel bad most people would be ...........In simple terms ..for our aplication and needs ...2 OHMS are what you want .................If you want to get 3 OHM speakers , go for it .....However they are going to be ONLY slightly better than the OEM's ........................One of our Spyderlovers is coming down from Canada to pick up something on Friday....I will play my 2 OHM speakers for Him and He can give you a first hand report......or PM MS109 Dreamer and ask Him what He thinks ....because he got the JBL's also....................Mike :thumbup:
