Best Subwoofers/What do you have?
« on: Jul 2, 2005, 11:41PM »
I no this is going to course controversy but i wanted to know:
What u guys are using for subs?
What brands you have?
What they cost?
The RMS rating for them?
And lastly what u have to power them (ampage)

Personaly i have right now:

Subs: Now i have 1 DD (Digital Designs, Best subs in the world) 10inch with 650RMS - Cost me 100$ with custem made box included.
But i plan to upgrade to 2 DD 10 inches in a few months

Ampage: 1 Kenwood 2 Chan bridged 350/400RMS Amp powering it it but its not enough cost me $50 second hand,, I plan to get 2 Response Amps 450RMS each to power them.

Other Stuff i got, 1 SPL 4chan (SPL is swedish for shit) (probably 200RMS) powering 4 6.5inch Speakers.

Well i wanted to see what u guys thought and had,

p.s. if this is a stupid topic then mods please remove. But i was just interested on what others thought, cuz im new to the car audio industry only got my frist sub 2 months ago but i have 1 friend who competes and is upgrading his system to 40,000RMS Subs (Yes thats right 40,000) So he's helping me out.

Well just wanted opinions

i got an eclipse 12 inch high perfomance sub its 350rms but i am only running 100rms to it and it still goes hard!!! sounds nice aswell and the good thing is they are designed for small enclosures which helps it takes up hardly any room
If only the KA24E was KA24ET!!

I have a single 15" Fusion Powerplant, power being 600WRMS, powered by an Alpine V12 mono amp, power 550WRMS at 2 ohms. They go together extremely well and distortion is nearly nothing. Not that i can hear anyway. Used to have two fusions but i miss calculated the dimensions of the enclosures when i went to make them and as such only one will fit. Basically then said fark this and sold it, one is ample anyway.

I use JBL speakers throughout including tweeters at the top of the A pillars, that complete the sound well.. All speakers off a second Alpine amp. Total value of the system is well under $2000 including H/U as i did much of the work myself to save on labour cost getting a shop to do it.


Incidently, 40,000wrms?!?!?!  :o :o :o Seriously, thats an obscene amount of juice how would u power that? It'd drain several batteries in like one beat if used on the road. Sounds nuts.

cheers

one day i will learn to fly, but for now, hospital seems better

DAmn straight buddy! I dont no why more people dont have them? They are the best subs in the world and stats show that and they are not cheap. But give me 1 month and i will be able to supply them to Antrx members for cheap, (i no a guy who knows a guy sort of thing).

i think its mainly the price, way to expensive for the average joe, i was gonna get some for my car, but if i got 2 12's it would have doubled the cost of the gear
