Review :
1. Hustler Soul Review @ DIY Mobile Audio 1
"Midbass is really snappy...really the whole mid is snappy to where I had to decrease the delay on my tweets to get the impulse right. Until I reset impulse delay on my tweets these mids WOULD NOT stage for nothing. No amount of l/r eq centering helped before that but finally got everything dailed in. Now they're staging and sound very real doing it. You almost feel like the band is there. I've never heard something like a trumpet sound so real coming through a playback system. I could hear the air coming through the horn. "
2. Hustler Soul Review @ DIY Mobile Audio 2
"or the soul driver, I didn't really evaluate the low end as my setup is not adequate to do so. So, I set the HP at 110hz @ 24dB and continued on.
- While I found that I can extend this driver up to as high as 5khz on axis, it suffers from major lack of dynamics up past 3khz anyway.
- They got shouty past 2500hz so I stopped there.
- Even at 90* off axis they seemed to do good up until 1.2khz before they started losing detail so that's pretty nice. 90* off axis is pretty dang major.
- Vocals sounded very smooth. No coloration at all. Some may like this. Some may not. I think it sounds very nice, though. Michael Jackson's sounds tonally good. Natalie Merchant's voice is tonally appealing (in sooooo many ways, lol).
- Bass guitar (RATM music kills for this) was very nice. When Morello is slapping the bass it has a nice punch to it. When you mute the tweeters you can still feel it. A lot of the 'feel' of music comes from the top end, so to say that the mid has such a presence here is saying something, IMHO.
Bottom Line:
The soul would probably do well in the door. I can't speak on lower midbass performance, but the definition from a kick drum seems to be there. Paired with a nice sub, I think they'd do a great job at anchoring your soundstage.
The female vocals on these are great. No warmth or added color. My scans add some warmth to male and female vocals in the 200-300hz range. I like this, though. The problem is that in my car they add too much due to the midrange enclosure which requires some cutting. The souls' midrange is very natural. I wasn't a fan at first but it grew on me. I think I'd want to tailor them a bit to what I like more, but for a purist I think they'd be just fine."
