candykid Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 Hello everyone? I was just wondering i just reworked my wires on my 4.1's This is what i have in them for the new wires! 85ft of monster XP 16 guage wire and radio shack gold plated mono plugs. Now i've heard that when you do this, it really improves the sound alot. Well after i did this upgrade, i didn't hear very much of a difference in sound quality? Anyone whos done this can you tell me if you got alot more out of your speakers after you did this and what kind of improvments you got? Also on a scale 1-10 please rate how much more of the improvment you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jealousy Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 honestly not much of a difference. used radio shack 16-gauge wire and gold-plated mono plugs. i've just come to realize how bad horn speakers sound and how much of a lack of midrage promedias have. no wires will help. peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 Jealousy, What version of the Pros do you have? I have the 4.1 and I think they sound great. They aren't perfect but then again.. nothing is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jealousy Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 hey paragon, i have the original v.2-400 with the second preamp. k27-R: yeah, i think you are right in saying that the clearness makes the lack of midrange more apparent. cause i feel like somehow it sounds worse now, with the new wire. oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 ya.. I guess the old crossovers weren't teh best.. the new ones sound good.. altho I never had teh v.2-400 so I can't compare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
