DLS UP6 review / install

[Nebster]

Let me start off by saying that the guys at eD have always been fantastic. They really know how to treat their customers and they do a great job making you feel comfortable spending a couple of bills.

Now being an amature installer myself i had never done a component install. I talked to ben milne and he was talking about ben hansen so i decided well lets give him a shot and see what he can do.

Install started around 130 and let me say i was very impressed. Ben v2 did a very good job and was very complete in his install. Not only that ben v2 is a funny guy. Opened up the crossover and smelled it and goes "ahhhh swiss" (that was funny in my head) but I'll let him post details of the install bc i think he took more pics than i. But he gets props for the creativity of mounting the crossover. But i digress.
Once the car was fired up i got antsy. i couldn't take the smile off my face when ben came and said it was done so i hopped in and took a listen.

First impressions were "HOLY **** ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!"

They were very crisp and they clarity of the DLS to anything i have ever heard before just shocked me. One of my favorite things is i was listening to a tool song and there were parts of the song that i didn't know existed such as echos and just amazing clarity.

Putting on some classical music these things just scream. They take anything you throw at them with no distortion and just pure sound. They have a nice solid mid and the tweater isn't too harsh but enough to level the field of the 2 16ov.2's. I'm really impressed with the response and the just overall sound of these speakers. They pair very very very well with my 2 16ov.2's and with some more sound deadening on the hatch and the doors i think it'll be perfect.

After the time in newton i drove home watching a movie (oceans 11) and let the speakers break in a little bit and by the end of the day they already sounded better than they did in newton. I cannot believe they will sound better in a couple more weeks. I'm in pure awe of these speakers

But yeah to sum it up:

DLS up6 = 10/10
eD experience 10/10
Install = 10/10


Worth every penny and once again thank you to eD for treating me right and putting an amazing set of speakers in the car.

after this i need a beer :beer:

here are some of the pics i have from the install

Haha, that was pretty cool. We were sitting in his car listening to the song and we hear the "echo". We both look at each other and he asked "did you know that was there?" I shook my head amazed at how clear the sound was.

I can't wait to get my components installed so I can hear secret messages in songs too.

Welcome to the world of DLS, I have irridium series subs, sub bass, mids and highs in my box and all I can think of is the old maxell commercials where the guy is sitting in the chair and everything else around him is blowing away.

Im glad you like them, but keep it a secret, we wouldn't want everyone to go out and get them .. lol

Enjoy !!

to bad you are not running The DLS amps. Far superior to ED. I am glad you like the DLS those are great components. Those where the first compenents that were in the box now I am running Dyn's. You should run those puppies active and watch them shine.
