have not heard the mille, but the clarus line is solid..here is some information about the clarus 5.25 set. the 6.5 probably can drop lower and take a tad more power, but enjoy the read May 2008: Car Audio & Electronics Publishes a Glowing Review of the Clarus C51-2 Set; Evaluative Scoring Places Clarus

One of my favorite cars that I've heard uses Nobeliums...I don't think there's too much of a drawback for either when it comes to the tweets. When it comes to the midbass, I'd rather have the L6's or L8's I haven't heard the Leg. Pros yet, that could likely change my opinions towards the Hybrid. And I've heard enough JMLabs stuff to know what a bright tweeter sounds like if you want to hear a "bright" tweeter, you should hear the audiopipe super tweets. I know a guy that had a total of 8 super tweets..that's right, 8 super tweets as his front stage. that chit sounds like crap. as for midbass, i highly recommend the clarus line.they are outstanding drivers and once you get those tuned in, it's all good from that point

yes, I have an active setup. I have (3) Arc Audio 300.4 amps and each amp controls tweets,midrange and midbass. tweets are getting around 100watts,midrange is 150 and midbass is 150 watts. keep in mind that i'm a sound quality competitor, so i don't like to shake the ground lol

I purchased my hybrid front stage without hearing any of the speakers. my friend has the l1 tweet,l3 midrange and the l6 midbass. I liked the sound of his system, so i decided to go with hybrid. I use the l1 pro tweets,l4 midrange and the clarus 5.25 for midbass. that was the best investment that i have made for a front stage. in my previous install, i used morel piccalo tweets,scanspeak 12m midrange and dynaudio 7"midbass and I have to say that the hybrid products sound better. good luck with the install and keep us posted on your progress

bigjae, The L6 pro is not available at this time. check out the product page for more info regarding the L1 pro tweet http://www.hybrid-audio.com/products.htm If you can't wait for the release of the pros, go with the legatia speakers that are available right now. also, check out the Clarus line as well. I use the clarus 5.25 speakers as midbass, and so far, most people think that i'm using larger speakers

i would try different crossover points until i had the "desired" sound. i purchased the 5.25 clarus set without hearing them first, and i have them tuned in now and they sound awesome. by the way, 250 watts rms is too much for these speakers. do you have access to a processor? if so, adjust the x-over points and see what happens. keep us posted on your progress

That is incorrect. Teamssaudio consists of more then 3 people. who are the other people? never seen or heard of them. just looked at the team section on ssa, and it states "coming sooon" Team SSA (Dave,Ramos and I) made people at the shows recognize ssa as a true force to be reckoned with in sound quality. don't believe me, ask tom shaw(former world champ),randy eddy(won elite top 30, but lost to dave in meca) if they know who team ssa is and i guarantee you that dave,ramos and i will be mentioned and the list goes on of competitors that are impressed with our cars and sportsmanship. Dave,ramos and I will be at Meca World finals. Any of you guys from ssa or "team ssa" are welcome to come by and get a demo. Webster, that is awesome that you guys have done well in MECA SQ. The thing is that we had not heard one single person come to the website, shop, or Icon support page and say they saw the Icon at a MECA SQ show. And in reality, very few people have heard of Tom Shaw or Randy Eddy, even though they are very good at what they do and have accomplished a great deal. So when mentioned in small world of MECA SQ, yeah you guys are going to come up and people will know those guys, but in the big picture, it is quite the opposite. I know that you guys gave out a ton of stickers and brochures to people that came and heard the cars, and that is very cool. But the effects of that were not seen on our end. So the relative perspective has to be considered, especially when we are solely internet based and run. Increased sales could have happened if someone came to the shows. at every 3x event i have attended, you have speakers,amps,cables etc and they have a sales manager there to setup deals. most manufacturers make that type of move because it's a great way to let the public hear a demo car and try to get shops to make an investment at the show. as for tom and eddy, local car show guys would not know about them, but the people that compete on a national level would know them. what big picture are you talking about? if you are speaking about the car audio industry, i'm sure that most companies know or heard of us. as i said before, representatives from the car audio manufactures are at the shows, and are always going around meeting and getting demos. that's how you network and make money Next, there are other associations and competitions outside of MECA SQ. We had a number of people compete early on in the season(s), (a few blazers one of whom is still active today, Aerostar van who is also still active, 2 door Tahoe, and a few others in the area of Phoenix some doing car shows too, but most important and notable of all, is the other owner of SSA, Mark did a number of shows and competitions. Mark had to stop doing competitions because we could not afford the constant expense of them. People have no idea how many hours he and I put in every week, and still make $0 from our efforts. of course their are other orgs. fortunately, most of the top competitors in iasca compete in meca as well. if you think that meca is a local hero organization, you are very wrong. So once again, we are grateful for the exposure and time you guys put in, but we are such a small company and in no way can we keep up with larger more established companies when it comes to funding/sponsoring, and we went above what most companies do anyway, that is a cold hard fact. But I am done talking about this since the "team" was "disbanded" anyway. We have to focus our money and energy on things that will keep the line going and at some point put money in our pockets. End of story. good luck with the company. i just wished that things could have been handled in a different way.

I know that Scott has decided while listening intensively the HP on the crossover. Do you please know the HP on the passives? Thank you, Kelvin hp on the passive x-over is 5,500 hz at 12db

m5, I have an audi a6 quattro. audi's are nice, but unfortunately, they are a pain in the ass to work with lol i'm sure that nick will back me up on that

contact scott buwalda at sales@hybrid-audio.com I'm not for sure if he will sell the mids seperately, but it's worth asking him. I use the clarus 5.25 speakers as midbass, and they sound good. so far, everyone has told me that they are very impressed with the strong midbass coming from such a small speaker. by the way, i have my midbass crossed at 56-250hz

thief!!!!

nice front stage. i have the L1 pro tweets,L4 midrange and the clarus 5.25 midbass. i would assume with correct crossover points, the l8's may be able to take that much power, but i'm not for sure. you should post that question on the hybrid forum on this website or go to www.hybrid-audio.com and one of those guys should be able to let you know.

you won't be disappointed with the arc products. what type of front stage do you have? I'm using a 300.4 on the mids in the kick panel,another 300.4 on the midbass the mini handles the tweets and the 500.1 powers the sub. by the way, i have the 300.4 amps bridged to each speaker so i'm getting about 275 watts to each speaker.
