Anybody using CDT Audio?

Looking for opinions on the 2 ohm CDT Audio 6x9’s for the front doors.

I love them. I have them in the front and they are way better than the infinity and OEM. I have the Alpine system.

What do you have for factory system? I know the Alpine uses 3-ohm speakers. I have the 3-ohm CDT Audio speakers in my front doors

I have the alpine system. Already changed all the other speakers with JBL GX series, but wanted a little more bass punch in the front doors.

Are yours amped separately or just using the factory amp?

I have a pair of CL-69SUB in the front doors, with 75W per channel. Originally has the CL-69, and these are great. But, tuning them makes all the difference in the world

What do you mean by tuning?

equalizing, but At a much more detailed level (you need a dsp to do this). You can tune Out the distortion, and for mid-bass specifically, smoothing the transition from sub to mid bass speaker has a big impact on the mid bass speakers’ performance.

Got it, thanks! Went ahead and bought them.

Did you install a DSP? I’ve been looking at doing this in my truck but am unsure what one to get for the HK system.

I had a Helix V8 dsp/amp in my 2021 Bighorn with the Alpine system, but wasn’t able to get it out prior to trading in. eventually, I’ll get another Helix for my 2022, which has the HK. There are quite a few options out there, Helix is very well regarded, and worked Perfectly for me.

So you fit the regular CL 69 speaker and not the slim one in the doors?

I just checked my receipt. I have the slim one now (CL-69S), but previously had the CL-69SUB, which is deeper. I put a 1/2” spacer on it, and it fit just fine-probably could have used 1/4” or less

Would you say the regular sub or the slim one performed better? I was going to replace my current setup with a couple pairs of these

the sub was better, IMO. But I was running a 3-way active system, so could really fine tune it, and had it crossed over very low

Awe got it. I would just be using it in place of my infinity ones with the HK system that I have currently so no DSP or aftermarket amplification

I installed the CFS690’s in all 4 doors in 4ohm and disconnected the sub. Very happy with the sound and the improvement in quality of lower frequencies. Classical, Jazz, classic rock all sound great, even songs/ genres which are bass heavy sound so much better than the OEM woofers.

just ordered cdt 6.5” midbass for the front doors to replace the CL-69S. one Of my 6x9s has been getting staticy, I think it may have been slightly damaged while stored in the garage. I really wanted the sound integrity 6.5, but didn’t want to drop another $400, just for 70-250hz

Anyone using the CDT 4" coaxials in the dash on the HK system? Considering swapping out the 3.5s for something with a silk tweeter and the cdts are reasonably priced.
