I've just put a ET65 in my DRRI and I've noticed that I can turn the bass up to between 6-8 now without it being overbearing as opposed to 4 with the stock speaker. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm very pleased with the ET65/DRRi combo so far.
“What changes with the ET65 as opposed to the stock Jensen speaker? The ET65 has more volume, headroom and it’s louder?”
Yes to all of this … but the biggest factor is that is just sounds warmer and MUCH sweeter on the top-end.
As for the Rivera era DR II … FOR sure the ET65 is the speaker for you (I’ve had several of the Rivera era amps).
