Thinkin about a change

[DAVE T]

Im thinking about changing my SUB...

I have got a 1200w infinity kappa sub and it just aint loud enough for me, so if anyone knows about n e deals going on 2 good quality subs in a box going at a good price then let me know..

also if i find a pair of fat subs then mine will be for sale....... offers it cost £150 new and is 6 months old still under warrenty

cheers::SmilyBee

[Mikey]

im guessing you talking 1200w peak and not RMS, if you want decent subs i would say go for Rockford Fosgate or JL if you can afford then cause the JL aint cheap but are dam powerfull

[Biggy]

i dunno about rockfords i blew mine!!!
i'm goin kicker L715 in my next install.

[DAVE T]

cooper has got a JL in his and that it decent, dunno about rockfords another mate has blew 1 of them up.. i aint heard a new kicker go but the same mat who blew up the rockford had a pair of kickers a couple of years ago that where nice....
Think i need to get some prices.. i want a pair in a box...

[ste]

Try Bass junkies in Wensbury. They have some fat deals there!!!!!

Them square kicker subs are pukka, but aint cheap!!!! Them new sony's pentagon fings are quite cheap, bout 100 for a 15" but heard mixed reactions! Them Kendwood DB+ are a weapon n half!! If u get the subs, i'll mek u a box cheaper than u can buy 1 for!!!! Mek it to suit ur boot to.

[Mikey]

DONT GET THE SONY ONES. ive heard to many bad stories about them

[DAVE T]

STE- i was going to talk to you bout a boot install, ive got loads of stuff but it is just all wanged in anyhow at the mo..
Got most of my stuff so far from bass junkies, that power cap i've got is mint only £100 from there digital the lot...
We'll talk price's when you get back....

And turbo pug, thats weired, i've got a 12" DB audio raptor sub also from max audio ran from a Pheonix gold amp n its kicks ass!!!!! Looks pukka too mounted inside out n reliable!!! Had it bout 2+ years n abuse it each time im out in the car n never once given me any problems!!! Proves a very good point, you only get what you pay for!!!!! A 18" 75,000 watt sub for 15p, gonna be a bit shit quialty!!!

[DAVE T]

[ste]

Nice 1 mate. Be good to save some dollar on top ice stuff!

Might want a sub afta xmas, finkin of addin another one to my install. How much can you get the chrome DB audio rapter subs for? 12"?

[Rice Boy]

probably not of too much interest to you, but ive got two JBL 1000w subs, and they sound really good for the money!

£49.99 from Ripspeed/Halfords (current special offer).
£99.99 normal RRP price.

But they sound amazing for the price, id recommend them in any set up, drive them hard, they keep coming back for more.

Awww hell no JL and RF subs are better used for fancy paperweights they just plane suck. only good RF is the Team RF. I saw Vibe subs in there i take it that they are Lanzar Vibes bad bad subs. The Atomics are nice and loud. BUT i would jusat build a box for the subs you get, prefab boxes aresnt good for all subs and usually just barely meet the bottom requirements. MTX subs are loud for the price the 6000 series is almost the best sub in the price class. The kicker square subs are ok has to have a good build to get loud but can get pretty loud when ported.
IF you can get them over there look into Digital Designs 3512 subs mean mean subs for the cash.

As for that 32" one Subs over 18" are all show just penis envy to have them, Clarion tried it back in the late '90s and it was a huge flop a 32" sub witht the motor structure of a 15". Audiobahn or as we call em Audioblah has a 36" but it can be beat with a good 18". Plain and simple the cones of these just have too much mass to Stay linear and move adequately to even be mediocre subs.

[Biggy]

whats ya views on the kicker Solo x sub?

[fastandfierce]

I got something for you!

My two Rockford Fosgate 12" monsters with boxes
They are rated ato 400 rms each, and need some heavy power to run.

I f bass you want then get these, they will wipe the floor with JL Audio subs up to the W7 series

PS. Ask chink or wez what they are like, they were in the car on the way back from Max Power!

[Mikey]

i would like the W3 series of the JL but they are to pricey atm

[DeanDTurb]

The soloX is a worthless piece of junkthe L7 is a much better sub plain and simple
Them Mtx 6000's are right at the w3's performance for a load less

And i'd put one of my RE's against both of those 12" RF's on half the power.

[Biggy]

i blew the RFR's off a 800watt amp, i hit a certified 140.1db usin em

[DeanDTurb]

146.2 on 1000 here with one

[bugsy]

dunno if this will help......i got 2 vibe ac100 enclosed subs. chose this cuz i listens to a lot of dance music and it has got the TIGHTEST bass. the mdf box which is part of it is made to a very high standard, TIP: dont install 6x9s if u gettin a sub in the boot, u wanna leave th eparcel shelf empty so it dont interfere wiv the bass waves- sounds so much better.

[Biggy]

i know 6x9's are a no no anyway in my system,

[DeanDTurb]

6x9's dont displace enough hanging downfrom the parcel shelf to disrupt the waves or cause any wave cancellation, there should be absolutly no dif in the sound unless its a terrible pair of 6x9's and just sound like crap

[Biggy]

best thing to do is to take the bass out of the 6x9's that way u ain't got any conflict

[DeanDTurb]

Yeah a good crossover point on main speakers is always a good idea, if its possible have the subs n main speaker xove settings overlap around 10hz so it blends together.

[Biggy]

man you know some shit, i got my speakers amped up so i've just set the xover on the amp

[tw@]

t go for rockfords but make sure there dual voice coil or u will blow um.

[DeanDTurb]

only good fosgates are the 1990's models, when theyre top sub was just called the punch no little subtitle crap.

[Loui]

Anyone ever tried earthquake, mate had one of these and it was a fucking beast, dunno whether there still imported from the states, they would be worth a look, but that was going back to the days of dimensions in stafford. Ive got RF HE`s in the couple of years ive had them they`ve took some serious abuse, and are still going strong, i quite like the look of diamond audio, orion and directed stuff

[MICKY FINN]

i have jl 10inch and it suites me.
i do think i coud do wiv a little more bass but not ott.
