This is my 180 gallon acrylic. Just fed them so it was a little "dusty" in there. These are babies from my Blue Dragonblood I got from Imperial Tropicals, a couple of other peacocks, a couple clown loaches and and four silver dollars. Very blue. May get a few maize colored ones and call it the Wolverine tank. Go Blue! Congrats on another B10 Championship.

Built this system for my tool locker at work. The speaker/sub boxes are built by me. I tried to make exact copies of the VS-100 boxes but added more bracing. The reason I have those cheap amps is they are what i found that I could fit in my locker and give me the power i need. They do a really good job though and sound pretty good. They will clip if i push them too hard, but they go pretty loud...

      They are pretty efficient so most amps will drive them, either of those will do great I think. I like the Crown because of the massive power and headroom. I can shake the block with these things if I wanted to, but really it's about having a nice wide sweet spot on the volume.

    Update, for anyone who cares. I have been hitting it heavy this winter and she is just about ready. I ordered the primer, bottom and top paint today. Wife was worried about the old motor so basically gave me permission to buy a new motor, so I bought a brand new 2023 Suzuki 40 hp 4 stroke. Why mess around? I will probably post some videos of the progress from now until splash day. Hopefully by summer. For anyone with an idea to do this, it is very costly, time consuming and difficult. So be prepared.

      No. Not an issue at all in my tanks It may be dependant on plant species but I have never heard of it being a problem. They thrive in planted tanks. From what I can tell and from my research they are mostly carnivorous. They breed quite often but eat the eggs unless you make provisions. Silver dollars, on the other hand, will chow plants right down to the roots.

    • @ericnortan9012
      @ericnortan9012 Год назад

      Satisfied? Sure, for the money they are great and were exacty what I was expecting. They are fun speakers but it depends on your purpose. They are very powerful, get very loud, have a ton of bass, decent mids and highs. Great for fronts on a large home theater, great for cranking it up, very nice at lower levels and surprisingly revealing. Huge sounstage, the produce a very convincing "phantom center". A bit bass heavy at times. Definitely a great party speaker, they can shake the block. I would recommend them if you have a large space to give them a proper set up and are looking for that huge sound. Not audiophile, but with the right equipment they are pretty impressive for the money. I don't know of any speakers in the price point that even come close on many levels, and if you like to play loud they play great with a proper amp. If you have a smaller space you may want to consider the 12s, the 15s can overwhelm a small space pretty quickly. Their are definitely better sounding large speakers out there but they are way more expensive and almost none at this price have as good of power handling ability. Hope that helped.😁

If your amp is rated 100w into 8ohms it'll do the job though, especially in a normal home environment. They are big so they benefit from a high current amp.

      IDK exact year, but they aren't "real" Simi Valley Cerwin Vegas. If that's what your getting at. Mid- late 2000's, Gibson owned, "American design", Chinese built. Though they play great, real decent boxes. They are definitely comparable in sound to the old schools. Build quality is yet to be determined, but also comparable, had them for a couple years and holding up great. I got them because they were new and I wanted some powerful speakers for when I wanted to rock out without breaking the bank. Wife would only let me get new ones. I like 3-way boxes, grew up in 70s and 80s, found these and bought them. I looked at a couple others, XLS and Klipsch, polk all the big brands. The Klipsch were a bit bright. Didn't like the XLS look in the living room. Though the XLS has supposedly better woofers (cast) the boxes don't seem great, too much plastic. Chose the SLs, very happy with them. Great speakers for the price if your looking for a powerful speaker that can get real low. I wouldn't say audiophile, but pretty fun.

      @ericnortan9012 Год назад

      @@frankrizzo2724 They sound good and can handle alot of power, huge bass. As far as comparing them to older ones, it depends on the series. If I could get a set of mint AT-15s or REs, or a couple other series, I would trade in a heartbeat, but that's more just because they are all really good, cool ass speakers. SLs have steel woofers as opposed to cast, but they are quality and sound great. The crossover may be a little better than the older ones. I own a set of VS 100s and those things thump for 10" but the SLs sound way better. A thing with the older ones to watch out for is dry rotted surrounds, we are talking about some pretty old speakers. I bought the brand new ones because they go in my living room and have to look good also, or the wife wouldn't go for it. I would recommend them, but I'm not gonna say they are better or worse. From my experience they sound just as good or better than most older series, possibly not quite as much quality in the build. Again, that's debatable too. If that helps😄

I was(and still am) really impressed at how great they sound, crisp and clear sound and great power given their size. Highly recommended speakers if you have a smaller listening room or don't require insane SPL levels. I've had them for 3 years now and have no plans of replacing them anytime soon.
