Which size subs you prefer????

[UrDoneSRH]

nickel is right about the boxes tuning. your box should be tailored to your sub, not the other way around. as far as my setup goes im at the sanding stage on my sealed box that will sit right up against my rear strut bar, im throwing 2 alpine typex subs in there. im gonna also run a 12" ported isobarik box that will sit on the other side of the beauty panel in my trunk. see my DIY link below if you wanna see what ive done so far.

the memphis subs pound, i never heard that about their amps but best buy doesnt carry memphis so i dont hear nothing about them anymore. im all about alpine. i love it! im goin with type r 6.5" components in the front doors in custom door pods and type r 6.5" in the back with custom pods also. then a alpine 9856 headunit. 4ch amp is already installed and either another 4 channel for the 2 10's or 2 2ch (they subs are individually sealed)

peace

ive got a rockford fosgate 15 and a 640 watt eclipse amp and two MTX 12s off of a 250x2 die hard amp. ive got some 8s too but no room to put them any where...

I'm a raw bass kinda guy. I want the power there for me at my disposal. It's as easy as adjusting the sub woofer gain on your HU to attain your prefered style of play. It depends mainly on the mood but I rather know I have the power to rock the street and wake the neighbors and still at the flip of a switch, play it regularly..........that's just me.

punch p3 12" ftw!

buy a sub today from RE that costs less than $300 MSRP and feed it less than 500wRMS and then come see who's sounds better an outperforms the other.

Try the DIYMA 12". if you don't know what it is... DIYMA is Do it yourself Mobile audio.
A car audio enthusiast started the forum DIYmobileaudio.com and designed his own 12" sub.
I ordered back when it was on pre-order for $150. The coil will handle 1000rms, but really only needs 300rms to sound superb. A very well designed sub with great Kms and inductance curves.
I forget what they are not pre-order but i think it's sub 300.
He also made a 2" mid dome and is working on completing a 7" and 1" tweet.

it's 219.

Notice the cool magnets that use a similar arangement as the Focal's high end sub.

For anyone who is serious about car audio, this is a great forum. Creating a component system with custom drivers yields a very very good setup for a lot less than comercially available setups. Downside is you usually need to run an active crossover to set them up correctly. (for example. 2 dayton 7" Reference mids are $30 each, and 2 Vifa 1" tweets are also $32 each. the quality of these drivers would surpass comercial systems costing upwards of $400 no joke).

i have two MTX 12's.... sound great, I love em

[Kedgar]

Good news

[waddyman]

I would prefer two 12 inch subs in a ported box with 4 way 6 x 9 speaker for
that perfect sound in your ride

[hondapowered91]

2 15's

always 2 15's they ground shaking bass is the sh*t

[CaPt Nimda]

Can someone tell me which subs are good for different types of music? Such as.. 10'' x 2 are good for... and 12'' x 1 is good for... etc..

[Tnwagn]

Definitely go for 2 12's if you want something that can shake you up, but still be a easy listener. Go with 2 10's if you only want them for listening pleasure, not showing off.

i got my 12" kicker ...i love it i saw this one guys CB7 at Nopi last year that hade a sick sound, 4 12" subs i stuck my head in there and i felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up....woooo...what a rush

[BORY]

if you buy good interior speackers like boston's u dont really need sub's unless u like ur trunk to rattle. i run boston's in the interior and one jl w3 12" the only bass i have is coming from the sub. it's so clear. but with that comes $$$$. if u buy better quality things u dont need as much u can have 1 kicker pound harder than 4 lightening audio's. it's all how u want it to sound like a home theather crisp and clean or thump all day long.

12s fo life. u can make up for the tightness u loose with a good set of components, there is nothing like shalin some one else's mirrors at a light

i did hear a set of diamond 10s in a ported box professionally designed, that was unreal. a properly designed box will make your system a beast!!!
