I talked to the guys at Eibach about installing the stage 2 on my f150 with the max tow package and he didn’t recommend it. How is yours doing with towing? I’m a little hesitant to install the stage 2 since the spring rating of the max tow coils are higher than the ones from Eibach. Thx!

@@KaneWai94 oh wow I wonder if they had literature out about not installing them on a max tow package truck. If they did I missed it. So far so good. The ride is good for sure no complaints. I only towed our camper once since the install and that was a test pull for about 20 miles. Honestly this truck felt a little loose in the rear towing (before the kit) compared to the lifted GMC 1500HD I just got rid of. The GMC was solid while towing just not as much power of course as the 3.5. I can say with certainty the test pull after the kit was no worse than my test pull without the kit. If anything it was a tad better but to be fair it wasn't as windy as the pre-kit test pull. What all did they say if you don't mind me asking? Thanks!

@@JHGurganus they told me that the max tow spring rating is higher than the spring rating for the Stage 2. So even though it will fit, it does change the tow for the max tow trucks. They actually indicated that on their product listing on the website that the stage 2 is not for trucks with CCD, which is part of the max tow pkg. I’m trying to find out if replacing the shocks would void my warranty.

@@KaneWai94 gotcha. I just did some research and saw a random 2021 window sticker posted online that clearly stated continuously controlled damping. I checked my sticker and it does not indicate that. I also saw that the rear shocks have an electrical plug-in on them and my original shocks did not have that. I did see eibachs description that it was not for trucks with CCD before I bought it so I felt I was safe because I did not have CCD to my knowledge. I just pulled up their website again and all I see is that the stage two kit excludes trucks with CCD. I believe I feel good about it at this point since mine did not have CCD.

Hey man, I'm currently having trouble deciding between some array speakers. The DXL1K's seem to be the best prices/brand name option out there, compared to the Evolve 50 for example with the Yamaha DXL being $700 Canadian cheaper than the EV 50. The quoted SPL in the literature is 125 dB for the DXL and 127 for the EV 50 - so not a major difference on paper in SPL, but definitely a major difference in $$$ (especially considering i'd like to get a pair). I was reading through the DXL1K manual and came across a line in the manual that set off a little light in my head; I remembered how you had commented to another poster in this video comment section that you may not have set the DXL1K up properly. I decided to read the manual to see what the recommended set up might be for connecting an external mixer. So the DXL1K manual says the following regarding the Link Input Jack: "This jack supports an XLR-type plug. An input signal is output directly from the speaker. To control the tone and volume level of the signal, use a connected STAGEPAS 1K mkII or mixing console." However the wording to describe the Link input Jack in the StagePas 1K MkII manual is quite different: "This jack supports an XLR-type plug. Connect the [LINK] output jack of the STAGEPAS 1K mkII to the [LINK] input jack of a second unit (another STAGEPAS 1K mkII or a DXL1K) (see page 13 “Playing audio in stereo”). We recommend that you use this jack if you plan to input a line-level signal from an external device such as a mixing console." The last sentence being the important section. I am thinking that you might have just plugged into channel 1 and set it to Line signal instead of using the Link Input which is apparently what Yamaha recommends but FAIL to include this vital senstence in the the DXL1K manual.. I dunno, it just seems weird to me that there would be so much trouble with clipping the inputs for you... perhaps the double gain staging of the input gain on your mixer into the input gain of the DXL mic/Line input (instead of the Link Input which goes direct to the speakers) was your trouble? I wish I had one to test this theory. There's no inventory anywhere near me but I'd sure love to save myself $1400 CAD on a pair of DXL's as opposed to the Evolve 50's which still would still require an extra soft cover purchase on top for each sub... Can you remember if you plugged into the mic/line channel 1 or the Link Input? Thanks man, New sub here. really liking your channel coverage of the Evolve stuff. Wish you would hung onto the DXL for a couple weeks longer!! - Richard
@JHGurganus9 күн бұрын
@@TheJamSpace hey thanks for the sub. You know what? You may be absolutely right on what you wrote to me. I went back and peeked at my video and I guess I don't remember if I was using the link input or not when I played through the mixer and I see I for sure used it when I was talking through the mic. To be honest with you, I may have been using input number one again instead of the link input which would definitely have been a mistake on my end according to what you wrote. I think I ultimately became frustrated with the dxl because I wanted the original stagepas 1K to work out but I just wasn't happy with the output. I had high hopes for the DXL because I guess I'm a Yamaha fanboy but maybe I didn't take the time to read the manual good enough. Honestly, dang you may be absolutely right, I wish I would have tried that link input and I doubt that I did because I thought maybe that was just for linking the first stagepas into it but as the manual states possibly a mixing console. Ironically, I was literally sitting here looking at column systems once again when I received your message. I like the physical controls on the stagepas 1K mkii and would prefer them to being forced to menu dive if I did not use a device to control it. I'm sure I had input one on line when I ran the mixer into it but maybe it would have definitely done better using the link input. Thanks again for the the heads up on this man! I'm definitely going to have to check into this a little later tonight. I will tell you though, out of all the column systems I've owned, I probably liked the original evolve 50 the best output and sound quality wise. I'll probably pull up the manual for the DXL and the 1K mkii a little bit later and give it a good read. Thanks again and let me know if you have any other questions and good luck deciding! Oh on another note I have switched back to using Yamaha dxr10 mkiis since last October or November I think and have been totally happy with them but again I was currently looking into a column speaker again.

If I'm reading the stereo outputs on the mg10xu and CQ-18T correctly, the Yamaha puts out +24 and the Allen & Heath puts out +22. I really appreciate you pointing that out. Honestly I never thought of that and I wish I would've read the manual. I guess I'm so used to plugging into regular 2 way powered tops that I didn't even think about the DXLs being different.

Nice to see square toes come back around these past few years. Used to get dogged about em, but I didn't mind. Round toes are never a miss either imo. The one I just cant get on with is coffin toe. Who knows though. They might yet get a chance in the sun 😅

I talked to the guys at Eibach about installing the stage 2 on my f150 with the max tow package and he didn’t recommend it. How is yours doing with towing? I’m a little hesitant to install the stage 2 since the spring rating of the max tow coils are higher than the ones from Eibach. Thx!
@@KaneWai94 oh wow I wonder if they had literature out about not installing them on a max tow package truck. If they did I missed it. So far so good. The ride is good for sure no complaints. I only towed our camper once since the install and that was a test pull for about 20 miles. Honestly this truck felt a little loose in the rear towing (before the kit) compared to the lifted GMC 1500HD I just got rid of. The GMC was solid while towing just not as much power of course as the 3.5. I can say with certainty the test pull after the kit was no worse than my test pull without the kit. If anything it was a tad better but to be fair it wasn't as windy as the pre-kit test pull. What all did they say if you don't mind me asking? Thanks!
@@JHGurganus they told me that the max tow spring rating is higher than the spring rating for the Stage 2. So even though it will fit, it does change the tow for the max tow trucks. They actually indicated that on their product listing on the website that the stage 2 is not for trucks with CCD, which is part of the max tow pkg. I’m trying to find out if replacing the shocks would void my warranty.
@@JHGurganus glad the towing experience was good though. I don’t tow heavy trailers much so I’m probably not concerned that the max tow capacity is reduced with the Stage 2. Though I wouldn’t necessarily want to void my warranty. 😊
@@KaneWai94 gotcha. I just did some research and saw a random 2021 window sticker posted online that clearly stated continuously controlled damping. I checked my sticker and it does not indicate that. I also saw that the rear shocks have an electrical plug-in on them and my original shocks did not have that. I did see eibachs description that it was not for trucks with CCD before I bought it so I felt I was safe because I did not have CCD to my knowledge. I just pulled up their website again and all I see is that the stage two kit excludes trucks with CCD. I believe I feel good about it at this point since mine did not have CCD. What year and trim level is your truck? As you seen mine is an XLT FX4 3.5 with max tow but I did not have CCD.
@@KaneWai94not sure if this response is going to go through but I tried responding but it would not go. I think your last response disappeared as well. Was wondering if checked your window sticker and if you looked to see if your rear shocks had that electrical connection?
I notice the sidewall says RT not RT Trail. Informative video.
Thanks 👍 if you find the right spot and zoom in you can see they say trail in small letters right after R/T
Vocals and guitar carry better on the DXR12MkII. Both are good quality speakers though.
@@TrollingstonJohn I love both! Thanks for the perspective from your ear much appreciated 👍
Good video mate I'm going to get 2 DXR 12's soon. I'm a singer songwriter, but I also do disco/ karaoke in pubs. So they will be perfect for me, later on down the line if I think they need it, I might get the DXR 12 subs. I will have to re save for the subs tho. Also what 16 track Yamaha mixer would you recommend that's affordable? I want to swap out my berringer for a Yamaha one, to keep it all Yamaha.
@@benlovemusicuk That's awesome you want to keep it all Yamaha, too! So do I except I am currently using a different brand floor monitor. For a 16 channel Yamaha that is affordable, I'd go for the MG16X CV if you want to stay analog.

@@JHGurganus Any idea why the drums specially on dance tracks, don’t sound good? They sound a bit delayed. They just don’t sound good.
@@benlovemusicuk did you get the dxr12s? Are you talking about listening through the dxr12s by chance? If so, I'm not sure I've never experienced that unless the particular tracks you've listened to have the drums on sort of some millisecond delay but that wouldn't make sense really. I can tell you with the dxr series they can sound a little more hi-fi to my ear but I've never experienced what you are talking about actually. Wish I could help you there...

Hey mate, I saw in a previous video you returned the DXR10s? You're still using them?
@@halfbakedmunky5566 yessir I did return them but I repurchased another pair last fall. Yes I'm still using them on every gig that I provide PA for.
Round toe double h I like them alot better. I have bought 3 pairs of square toes. I don't wear any of them . I wear real cowboy boots meant for riding roping and ranching. So square toes are out they don't fit in stirrups good at all. Plus square toes are ugly. They have a square heel too. Not a cowboy heel. Western wear is trying to make boots for men who hate cowboy boots.
@@jasona.palmer6993 gotcha. I don't ranch but I do like putting on the round toes better as they're more comfortable to me.
What’s the double h called
My first response disappeared on my end. Inside the boot after the brand it looks like the model may be the Western with a model number of dh3595. Hope that helps and hope this one goes through 👍
What’s the double h called
I could be wrong but it looks like this one is called the Western. Possible model number of DH3595. Hope that helps 👍
Hey man, I'm currently having trouble deciding between some array speakers. The DXL1K's seem to be the best prices/brand name option out there, compared to the Evolve 50 for example with the Yamaha DXL being $700 Canadian cheaper than the EV 50. The quoted SPL in the literature is 125 dB for the DXL and 127 for the EV 50 - so not a major difference on paper in SPL, but definitely a major difference in $$$ (especially considering i'd like to get a pair). I was reading through the DXL1K manual and came across a line in the manual that set off a little light in my head; I remembered how you had commented to another poster in this video comment section that you may not have set the DXL1K up properly. I decided to read the manual to see what the recommended set up might be for connecting an external mixer. So the DXL1K manual says the following regarding the Link Input Jack: "This jack supports an XLR-type plug. An input signal is output directly from the speaker. To control the tone and volume level of the signal, use a connected STAGEPAS 1K mkII or mixing console." However the wording to describe the Link input Jack in the StagePas 1K MkII manual is quite different: "This jack supports an XLR-type plug. Connect the [LINK] output jack of the STAGEPAS 1K mkII to the [LINK] input jack of a second unit (another STAGEPAS 1K mkII or a DXL1K) (see page 13 “Playing audio in stereo”). We recommend that you use this jack if you plan to input a line-level signal from an external device such as a mixing console." The last sentence being the important section. I am thinking that you might have just plugged into channel 1 and set it to Line signal instead of using the Link Input which is apparently what Yamaha recommends but FAIL to include this vital senstence in the the DXL1K manual.. I dunno, it just seems weird to me that there would be so much trouble with clipping the inputs for you... perhaps the double gain staging of the input gain on your mixer into the input gain of the DXL mic/Line input (instead of the Link Input which goes direct to the speakers) was your trouble? I wish I had one to test this theory. There's no inventory anywhere near me but I'd sure love to save myself $1400 CAD on a pair of DXL's as opposed to the Evolve 50's which still would still require an extra soft cover purchase on top for each sub... Can you remember if you plugged into the mic/line channel 1 or the Link Input? Thanks man, New sub here. really liking your channel coverage of the Evolve stuff. Wish you would hung onto the DXL for a couple weeks longer!! - Richard
@@TheJamSpace hey thanks for the sub. You know what? You may be absolutely right on what you wrote to me. I went back and peeked at my video and I guess I don't remember if I was using the link input or not when I played through the mixer and I see I for sure used it when I was talking through the mic. To be honest with you, I may have been using input number one again instead of the link input which would definitely have been a mistake on my end according to what you wrote. I think I ultimately became frustrated with the dxl because I wanted the original stagepas 1K to work out but I just wasn't happy with the output. I had high hopes for the DXL because I guess I'm a Yamaha fanboy but maybe I didn't take the time to read the manual good enough. Honestly, dang you may be absolutely right, I wish I would have tried that link input and I doubt that I did because I thought maybe that was just for linking the first stagepas into it but as the manual states possibly a mixing console. Ironically, I was literally sitting here looking at column systems once again when I received your message. I like the physical controls on the stagepas 1K mkii and would prefer them to being forced to menu dive if I did not use a device to control it. I'm sure I had input one on line when I ran the mixer into it but maybe it would have definitely done better using the link input. Thanks again for the the heads up on this man! I'm definitely going to have to check into this a little later tonight. I will tell you though, out of all the column systems I've owned, I probably liked the original evolve 50 the best output and sound quality wise. I'll probably pull up the manual for the DXL and the 1K mkii a little bit later and give it a good read. Thanks again and let me know if you have any other questions and good luck deciding! Oh on another note I have switched back to using Yamaha dxr10 mkiis since last October or November I think and have been totally happy with them but again I was currently looking into a column speaker again.
There is also a chart on both the StagePas 1K MKII and the DXL1K manuals that states "input level Max Before Clipping": +16dBU for channel 1 Line inputs compared to +24dBU for the Link Input.
@@TheJamSpace Thanks so much for that info. I'm going to have to take a look at that chart too and compare it to the dxr literature if it has that same information. My wheels are spinning now!
@@JHGurganus You bet. Yeah, the Max Before Clipping numbers are the same for 1K MKII and DXL1K. Edit: Oh, DXR, right. yeah, please share your findings :)
@@TheJamSpacewell, I'm looking at them right now and it looks like the XLR inputs on the DXRs and DBRs are also +24dbu for line level which I feed from either my mg10xu or CQ-18T. I'm thinking I failed on testing the DXL and maybe if I would've used the link input I may have had a different outcome. If I'm reading the stereo outputs on the mg10xu and CQ-18T correctly, the Yamaha puts out +24 and the Allen & Heath puts out +22. I really appreciate you pointing that out. Honestly I never thought of that and I wish I would've read the manual. I guess I'm so used to plugging into regular 2 way powered tops that I didn't even think about the DXLs being different. I know when I had my evolves I plugged my mixer into channel 1 with no problem and got great sound quality and output. Thanks again...
Just to confirm, your truck is 4WD? The specs for this says 2WD and I cannot find any listings for 4WD. Thanks.
@@erock37 yessir it is 4wd
So this works for 4WD as well. As it should 😂
@@erock37 I hadn't pitched the eibach box yet so I ran out to the barn to get the part number.

does a di box needed for instrument inputs?
@@somleesong All I use are acoustic guitars with active preamps on them so no DI is needed in my case. Honestly, I don't have any acoustics with a pickup without a preamp so I can't try that.

Hi, is it worth switching from analog to this digital mixer? Would you feel improvements? I would like to buy one myself, that's why I'm asking. I mean, does everything sound better?
@@adrianfora Yes I think there are some improvements over an analog mixer. Having more dynamic control plus being able to save scenes is a big deal for us. But ultimately does it sound better? I have always believed that comes down to the performer and the listening audience. A / B next to each other with the ability to process more on the CQ-18T, yes you should be able to get things to sound better than just a basic analog board. Hope that helps 👍
@@JHGurganus thanks, I think it will be a good investment that will increase the quality

I have the CQ. It records just like things sound. It's everything it should be, and nothing it's not. Run an analog mixer into it, and you'll have every option you'll need.
Yes I'm totally happy with it 👍
how is the bass? enough to party for 100 pax? was considering the machine 215XT and just found this
Sorry just saw this. I would say definitely enough SPL to cover 100 people without a doubt depending on type of music and type of event. You know how it goes, you would definitely hear some bass but I don't believe it would be thumping unless you were in a small venue that was really reflective if that makes sense.
and another doubt -> is it better to go for cp8 instead of cp12 ? both sounds the same right, atleast the weight will get reduced , what is your opinion?
Honestly I've never heard or used the cp12. My CP8 is nothing more than a floor monitor for me I've never used it for FOH. But yes, I'd think they both sound the same with the cp12 offering a little more low end (if needed) and a few more SPL.
please suggest me for outdoor worship ---> QSC CP8 or YAMAGA DBR10 or QSC CP12 ?
Honestly I'm biased towards Yamaha so I'd go DBR10 but if it's a large outdoor worship that may include live worship music I'd probably go dbr12s. I've never heard the cp12 and the CP8 is only a monitor for me.
Can I connect a CQ-18T to a CQ-20B and control both together through a same app as I need 32 channels on a budget.
Good question but I don't 100% know the answer for sure. My gut tells me no, though.
Hi, is The DXR/DBR 10 sufficient for 250sqm or 2690sqf room size? Or need at least the 12s? Sufficient enough to get the quality sound of the speakers
Hello...I would say it depends on what type of music you are playing through them and the expected SPL. Is this for live music? If so, a full band or maybe an acoustic duo? And would they be for a loud club or a quieter restaurant type setting?
For live full band
Loud
@gudnet yes absolutely in my experience. But as you probably know only so much low end without subs. Oh and I would go with dxr if I could.
@@JHGurganus got it. So DXR10 as the sound definition is better. Plus DXS12. But lets say if u were given 2 options, which would it be for sound quality/definition? 1. DBR12 + DXS15 2. DXR10 + DXS12

@@raymondduran6258 decisions decisions!
I've had similar issues with battery door with the G55 TPB12 transmitter. I was using a bit of tin foil in the battery compartment to aid the connection but that hasn't been particularly reliable. Finally got round to adding a small blob of solder to each of the connection points in the door. So far it feels solid and passed the shake test. Yet to see how it will perform when used in anger, but early signs are looking good.
That's good you did that. I didn't rewatch the video but I think I was using a zip tie in this video for that door. I have since sold it to a buddy of mine and he is still using it with the zip tie on it.
Heck yes! Great stuff!
Thx brother!
Both sound good to me. I’m getting mine tomorrow.
Good luck with it...I'm still loving ours.
Did you end up giving up on the EV ELX200 10p's and retuned to the Yamaha DXR10 mkII's?
Yes sure did. I ended up returning the 10Ps and have been happy back with the DXR10mkii cabs again. Still gigging with them and will be using one of them here in a few hours at a gig tonight. Did you ever find a 10" that suited your needs besides the Altos?
@@JHGurganus Well I’ve got a pair of EV ELX200 10p’s here to demo and I’m going to borrow a pair of RCF HD10 mkV’s to do an a/b test
@@richardpenrose1968 nice good luck in your choices! I'd be curious to hear your thoughts after you test them.
@@JHGurganus No problem. I also own the Yamaha DXR15’s and was tempted by the DXR10 mk2’s myself but the lack of a side handle is a deal breaker for me and my dodgy neck. I’m also tempted with the FBT Promaxx 110a and QSC 10.2.
@@richardpenrose1968 gotcha I fully understand. I am not a member of any sound forums but I have seen some of your posts on prosoundweb. Hopefully you can find the best 10" cabinet that works for you 👍. I've had the original dxr10s, 12s, 15s, 8s and the dxs15 subs along with my current dxr10MkIIs and DXR12MKIIs. I have been 100% happy with every single dxr cabinet that I've had that's why I'm sticking with them but I fully understand not having the side handle on the 10" version for you. Ironically, all my former dxr boxes that I mentioned including my former DBR boxes (12s & 10s) have been sold to friends of mine and I still get to gig with those cabinets from time to time if they bring the PA.
boss can i setup dxr12 mkii and dbr15 together in one mixer?
I would say yes you could. Sonically someone may be able to tell a difference if they listened close enough - but if that's what you had to do to get the job done then that would work. Hope that helps 👍
@@JHGurganus thanks so much for your quick reply boss. but how abouut the sound quality? does it affect too? should i buy the same model and size really? or should i better use only 1 rather than not same size and model? thanks for your input
@@hakdwak you're welcome. I think the dbr and dxr series sound really close to each other and I believe (but I've never tested) the differences become apparent once you start reaching max SPLs. If the space you're trying to fill needs only 1 speaker, then you're good with just 1. If the spaces you need to fill normally require 2 speakers for proper coverage, then I would try to use the same speakers (if possible) at the very least for aesthetic reasons.
@@JHGurganus noted on this. you just give me a reason to buy again speakers. wahahahahaha! cheers mate
Perfect 👍 I love finding reasons to buy new gear myself! Cheers!
It’s crazy how the width also has an effect on the height. Even though the RT is a 70 it’s still taller
Yes it is crazy! I sometimes think it's an illusion once you get things mounted up on your vehicle. I recently sold my GMC and picked up a newer F-150. Literally just ordered an eibach stage 2 kit for it. I plan to keep as much fuel economy as possible so I will not be going very big on that tire and wheel combination either. But, from past experience, I have certainly found that with the right wheel the whole wheel and tire package may look bigger than what it actually is.
I just picked up one of these used for $250. That guitar sounds amazing.
Thanks. Wow $250.00 sounds like a great deal.
This helps greatly, thank you!

Hello. Have you got the chance to test the Dxr12 mkii outdoor with more than an acoustic guitar and one or two singers ? With a small band (4 people max) ? I have already a sub 15 inches and I’d like to buy PA speakers to replace my current stagepas400 too limited for gigs outdoor. Thanks ;-)
Sorry just saw this. Yes absolutely we have used two dxr12s and two dxs15 subs outside with a band of five and sometimes six with mic'd drums. I have also used two dxr12s in a duo with one acoustic guitar and myself and a female on vocals to cover 250 plus people in an outdoor open air concert in the park. I respect the stagepas 400 and 600 systems and I used to have a couple different Stagepas 600 systems in the past. The 600 definitely got the job done, and though I never had them side by side, I feel the dxr12s would run past the stagepas system pretty easy when pushed. Hope that helps!
Do the new ones come with the fishman or the shadow still which do you prefer
I'm pretty sure the new ones come with the fishman from what I've seen but I've not checked lately. I prefer the shadow. The shadow takes CR2032 batteries which I have found last a very, very long time.
Which speaker? sounds great. yamaha?

I have a guy arguing with me that the stickers make NO difference in sound, despite them blocking the dispersion pattern of the HF wave guide... told me I had "limited" knowledge, despite me being a sound engineer for over 40 years. 😂
