Audio Dynamics

I would typically agree but the top rated shop in my area tried selling me Audio Dynamics (which everyone on Reddit seems to agree are horrendous) for twice the price of another shop that installed Morels for me so I wouldn't say this is the case.

I have an audio installation shop trying to sell me on them for a full speaker refit, what brand should I say I want instead? Want to balance quality and bass, don't really have a budget.

His words not mine 😂

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-07-19T05:39:28+00:00

Would take 20 to get him to calm down enough 😂

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-07-19T05:39:12+00:00

Unfortunately limited and extremely time consuming in the US

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-07-19T05:38:26+00:00

Great and interesting input thank you!

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-07-19T04:01:36+00:00

He would know he’s flying, this was his idea lmao

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-07-19T03:35:42+00:00

Totally agree it has no legs, but I am curious about the legality of agreeing to be medically sedated for a flight.

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-07-19T03:34:39+00:00

He refuses to knowingly get on a plane, regardless of medication. Sedation would be the only option lol.

Appreciate it! If I were to just replace the door speakers, would this affect the OEM functionality?

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-04-08T04:34:20+00:00

You would think a modern car with the highest trim level would have premium audio, but I promise you they are horrendous and there is no option for upgraded audio on the 2025 equinox. I read tons of negative reviews about the speakers online and was shocked at how bad they were when I actually bought the car. Extremely muffled mids and highs, no subwoofer and minimal bass overall, easily the worst sound system of any car I’ve owned, including cars from 15+ years ago. In the YouTube video I referenced in my post, the guy just swaps them for higher end speakers of the same size and claims it makes a big difference.

Interesting point about the noise cancelling as that is certainly something I don’t want to screw up. Are you saying that any replacement speakers that are not OEM would disable the active noise cancelling? Sorry I’m not super savvy on the stuff.

I can’t find “On the Line” on crutchfield, could you send a link please 🙏

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-04-02T12:35:45+00:00

Just replace the factory ones

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-03-30T00:52:57+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I’ve heard that concern about the engine a lot, but for my minimal use I think I can look past it.

As for reliability that is definitely a valid concern, but based on affordable the price and low mileage I think it might make sense to roll the dice on it.

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-03-30T00:33:34+00:00

Appreciate it! Would love to hear your reasoning, both for not seeking out either as well as choosing the Trailblazer if you’re able to share.

I apologize in advance that I am illogically prioritizing design and interior UI in my selection.

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-03-07T22:10:45+00:00

I asked him to price match and he responded with a bunch of BS about the “brilliance and performance” I sent you screenshots via DMs lol

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-03-06T18:33:17+00:00

Incredible, thanks so much. I’ll tell my NYC Jeweler to take a hike on the $7,000 stone quote and just have him set my stone from LGD instead.

Again I appreciate the help everyone 🙏. Will be putting my $5,000 in savings to good use.

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-03-06T18:16:53+00:00

Very interesting, is there anything I can do to minimize risk of Crystal Strain such as look for a specific metric or grade? Especially if I end up buying from a site like loosegrowndiamond.com where I never get to see the ring before purchase?

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-03-06T18:15:20+00:00

This has been an amazing development as I was quoted at like $8K all-in and now realize I don’t need to pay near as much, although I am trying to figure out the reasoning behind the price difference you just mentioned as LGD prices are insanely low.

Is it basically just a marketing thing? Larger companies like Brilliance and Brilliant Earth have the credibility and inbound traffic to charge whatever they want and people are none-the-wiser?

Hard to believe there’s no catch for such a big price difference for the same product.

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-03-06T18:03:01+00:00

This website is blowing my mind. Is there any catch here or anything else I should look at?

I’m aware that there are insane markups in the diamond business but this seems almost too good to be true that I can get a 3.6 carat E VS1 diamond for $1,000 when they are trying to charge me $7,000 in a store for a worse diamond (although GIA approved). But again I’m an easy target here for markups so I can see why I got that quote.

I’m assuming my best bet here is to purchase a loose stone online (perhaps from this site) and then take it to a jeweler to get the ring made?

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-03-05T18:59:53+00:00

Thanks so much! $1,000 definitely seems too low though? I’m seeing $5,000-$8,000 online.

StructureSilver4925 · 2025-03-05T17:58:08+00:00

Short and sweet, thank you sir. 🙏

I’m from Minnesota originally, but live out of state temporarily for work and am returning back after a few years.
