Subwoofer Opinions

[puzzlevil]

I'm looking for subs (12's) for a new setup. Don't want to use anything super popular, like to be different from the next man if possible. Last setup was Audiopipe TXXAP12's. Looking along the lines of Memphis, RE Audio($), Precision Power, Mmats, Cerwin Vega. Price range under $500 per sub

I know you wanna go with something that different but seriously check out JL. There is a reason why its so popular and well liked.

[DTK]

mmats is one of the best

is because all the rich people put it in there cars. if u were smart with money and listened or knew what to listen for u would know for the money u get way better subs then jl.

infinity kappa series. mtx 7500's and up. kicker comp vr's. alpine type-r's or type-x's. just to name a few that would be in your price range.

it all depends on money.... if you have the money get top of the line.... if you dont. lowend subs are all the same... whats going to make a differnece in sound is whats pushing the subs..... if you go with JL.... get a JL amp.... if you go with anything else..... go with alpine amps...

Truth. DD makes a good sub. Memphis is really nice, I really like how they sound. But you can't forget RE. The XXX is a legend

soundstream Tarantula Series is nice to. I had those in my civic si and nobuddy else had them i ever saw. They are big in Europe.

ummmmmm NOOOOOOOO if he can spend 500 a sub if u wanna be super loud and sound really really really good doing it look into Digital Designs. they are the worlds loudest single sub. look into more indy brands ...... and what kinda power do u have to work with. remember peak power doesnt mean shit. it whats the RMS!!!!

go with the cadence ultradrive if you want jL quality for a explode price or if you want to blow windows out cadence beast, the beasts are about $150 a sub but with a nice mono block amp and nice wires, box, tuning and setup, that can be the best bang for your buck. these subs are incredibly accurate and loud. I got my two 10inch ultradrives for 75 shipped. I am running a 2007 model infinity reference monoblock 800w max and it is clean and loud. Comparison would be to two alpine type r 12s with well matched amp. i was recently turned on to cadence and i'm impressed and the subs do not look like a mid level sub they look like top of the line.......well probably cuz they are!

I heard a set of RE se's today or whatever 600 watt model they have is, and all i can say is holy cow!!!. I used to be an audiophile before I started to hate the attention, and this setup was damn good. There is a set on ebay cheap right now unless it ended.

Im a big fan of POWER ACOUSTICS Not $500 subs but still the best bang for your buck. Also SOUNSTREAM makes some unique stuff like there picasso series.Check it out

[2.2litrebeater]

RE hands down if your budget can swing it

a great amp can make an average speaker sound great ... by a good set of subs like kicker, jl, and spend the big money on the amp and head unit ... those are the real important components of a sterio system their the ones that produce the sound and amplify it ....

actually u got it wrong..... its the spend the money on the install(box) and the sub and then what ever for the amp. if u get a good sub it will know what to do with the power it is givin. kicker jl are geting to be over rated and over price stop bringin them up.
