How do these compare to Sylvania's 9005 SU SilverStar Ultra?

I used the SilverStar Ultra a few times in each of my three cars. The longevity is lacking, especially if your headlights serve as daytime running lights. I now use PIAAs. They last longer than the SilverStars.

I found several comparisons on line, (I no longer have the links) which lead me to buy the PIAAs. The PIAAs have performed well in Alaska conditions. However, to install them in our Nissan Altima, I had a mechanic do it because you had to remove the battery and other body parts, which I did not want to perform outside in the AK cold and dark.

They are 1500rms. Between 750 and 850 is optimal for these. I have a 3200.1bd Zeus pushing 2 of these 12's. It's turned way down of course. I Listen at loud volumes all the time and I haven't had any issues. You were probably pushing it to hard. Try turning the amp down. If I didn't purchase these I would have chosen a different sub. If money isn't a object try sundown audio D2's. If you want to stick with L7's then just turn your amp down so because anything over its peak watts is just producing heat which will blow your subs every time! Hope this helped

Had the pleasure of owning both. The SE535's are very good and I while I expected the SE846's to be better then the 535's, I was doubtful that they would be good enough for me to spend the extra $'s. Wrong. The 846's are a totally different immersive music experience and the difference is both in clarity (sounds that you can't discern with most other headphones) and the bass, that is clear and not overbearing. My wife won't allow me to wear them in the house (sound isolation is immense) but I seek out time to listen to them as they are a treat, every time!

they first one we bought was not too good so be sure you buy the ULTRA one. It is great.

Ultra is more cumbersome and harder to charge. One is more streamlined and more enjoyable to operate!!

They are more white than blue. I have Silverstar Ultra as my low beams and the PIAA are a little yellower than those. The Silverstar Ultra are even more white than these without being obviously blue.

I love mine , only had them about 8 months. But I don't remember paying anywhere near the $900 price for them.

If these fit your model they are the brightest you can buy. The sylvania bulbs are great but not this bright.

think the changes between models are more intense than anything else, for my Ultra Z works fine, comes with an adjustable tab, I would say you could prove it to see.

Well, they are pretty close spec wise, I can't speak to how they sound in comparison but the audiopipe are 750 RMS 1500 peak, theses are 1200 RMS 2400 peak, these are 95db efficiency where audiopipe is 92db these have a 3" voice coil where the others are 2.5" (which IIRC means it would be capable of slightly more excursion).

Yes, I think the Sylvania speakers are a very good option. They have big sound for such small speakers. I wish I would have bought another set when they were on sale.

Can't really provide an opinion based on comparison. I have not had the opportunity to hear the Polk DB6501's. Have really liked the Alpine SPR60s though. When I did my research before purchasing the Alpines Polk's rated very high. Try to visit a local audio shop in your area that carries both brands and listen for your self. I can tell you that you can't go wrong with the Alpines they produce good quality sound.

I recall when I bought my 9001 a newer version was also available. The newer one didn't seem to be any better than mine other than it was a slightly better looking unit. I don't remember other details other than aesthetics. I love my 9001.

I had one SA12 on 1200watts and it handled it like a champ. These subs are way underrated. Look into the Soundqubed HDS300's. They are about $50.00 cheaper. I replaced my SA with one and the HDS rapes the SA. Optimal enclosure specs on both. The Hds plays the lower end and the higher end quite noticeably better. But taking nothing away from the SA's. They are badass!

I have the KEFs and the ML Electromotion ESLs. Both are very good but I think the KEF is probably the better speaker overall. That said, if you have the right room either will be good. I seriously considered sending the KEFs back right up until the last second. Since keeping them I've worked more on placement and coupling to the stands and that's squeezed extra performance from the KEFs which makes me glad I have them. The logan's will be happiest if the room is larger and you can get them well away from the walls, I'm able to give them about 5 feet behind them and I don't feel like that's quite enough. I had an older pair of Aerius i in a larger room where I was able to give them 7-8 feet and the presentation always blew me away. With my smaller room now I haven't been able to extract the same magic from the newer ESLs even though I feel the new ESLs are tonally well beyond the quality of the older Aerius. The KEFs will make use of all the space you can give them too, but their different approach doesn't require it as much and with their limited bass extension they'll be happier in a smaller room.

I am not sure but I will tell you this didn't last 4 months and I bought the extended warranty and they wanted $45 to send it to them to repair. Bought a Sony one and haven't had any problems with it... I suggest not buying the Sylvania!

The 991 has a much more full sound. Both are great condensor mikes, but also have a very high SPL tolerance. I'm happy with my purchase.
