15" schnider

as a quick question...how on earth did you get a hold of schneider gear?

[Macca177]

I sell them
I work in a Vehicle accessories store.

Are you after sumthing?

Advertised at AUTO 1 here in Perth today as well.
A lot of features for $329 (model SCD 6000).
Are they any good?

[Macca177]

the sound out of it is great, the cd loading is a bit clunky in my opinion and noisy but i use a usb drive anyway. and with front acess to usb 2 its suitlable for me.


For the price its great. I get it for cost anyways so it was a bit cheaper than your price but would still pay that if i needed too.

[Tasmaniak]

I wouldn't....we used to have a catalogue of theirs. The product looks nice....but tracing it all back I found out what other stuff comes out of the same plant...

I ran some enclosure calculations for one of their 15" subs once, not sure which exact one now, but it was basically unsuitable for car use. From memory, Its specs demanded a huge sealed box. For optimum flat response i think it was in the hundreds of cubic feet. Basically it might have suited free air or infinite baffle installation.

Not saying all their subs are like that. Anyway they are inexpensive (cheap), and you usually get what you pay for. As for any sub, check the required enclosure is suitable before you buy. Don't just accept the size that the manufacturer recommends, check it using the T/S specs. Sometimes the manufacturers recommendations are spot on. Sometimes the marketing department seems to decide not the engineers.

ah, ahh, ahhh! schneider! sound like something to say when you sneeze!
either way good work any gear if better than no gear pretty much.

[Macca177]

Yup i understand all that is said.

but it all cost me less than $500(cost prices) and sounds not any different to my old stereo that i spent $3000 on and was all clarion.
Which sum barsted(s) stole anyways. i wasnt after anythin to big.
its simple cheap and works fine.

cheers
