Subwoofers

[CB7Nub]

Noticed you're shopping at futureshop. They got a really hot deal right now. 2 for 1 on some MTX 10". I picked some up for my buddy, they are far from crazy, only 250 rms, but at $100 for both, its a good bang for buck.

As for that head unit, helllll no. Do not get JVC. if you're set on getting something from there now, id say go for this Panasonic one....

As for the speakers you picked out, im not a fan of coaxial, i like components, but they're expensive there unless they got a crazy sale which they don't at the moment.

So just wait, keep looking, just get those subs for now, and act quick because i went to one and the were sold out, and went to another and got the last two.

Woah if I had the money I would definitely get those subs. Not bad!!
Just wondering what is wrong with JVC?

And what's the difference between coaxial and component?

coaxial are the speakers with the tweeter integrated, component are the speakers that have the tweeter separate and include a crossover. Components sound 10X better simply because the frequencies are separated causing less distortion.

and JVC is just low quality. I remember the first head unit i ever bought was a JVC and after a few months it wouldn't eject my CD anymore. And the sound quality just doesn't compare to brands like Pioneer or Alpine (in similar price ranges anyways)

Not necessarily. the woofer on the 6x9 has to play into midrange territory to cross over smoothly with the tweeter. And we're comparing different uses. If you use the 6x9 in a two way coaxial/component setup, then it's going to play some midrange and midbass. If you use it as a dedicated sub, then it's more than likely going to play some midbass down to sub range. You could use it as a dedicated midbass also, in a 3 way component setup.

Basically it has it's own place, it just depends on the end user what it's going to be used for.

In a two way coaxial setup the tweeter is larger and plays both midrange and high frquencies,thats why you dont see a 1/2" to 3/4" tweeter like those in a component set mounted on those (dont get me wrong there ARE high end brands that do) the 6x9 woofer is for producing the midbass (lower frequencies) MOST 6x9 speakers are internally crossed over to allow cretain frequencies to got to the two areas of the speaker.

Oh and to the OP JVC IS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even 1" tweeters can't play that low, efficiently. The woofer is going to play up to at least 1k-2khz, which is where most of your voice ranges are.

and x2 jvc is poo

Thanks guys I'll look for component from now on.
What is a good cheap brand that sounds good for speakers, amps, subs?

Is MTX good? I see them everywhere and my friend has some in his Civic with a 1000W Sony Xplod amp, I was almost deaf after I was in that hahaha. Dual 10's dunno how much watts MTX though.
