Need New Subs, What brand?

[99Bo-Tie]

I am looking to put 4 10's or 12's in my tahoe in a sealed box. What brand do you guys like? Probably entry level subs. I have been looking at MTX and Rockford. Also looked into MA because I had a pair of them before that sounded good but I hear nobody runs them. Any ideas or thoughts would help. And amp? how many watts?

 

[blueflamed03]

well 4 10's, sealed will still be roughly 4 cu ft, and ample power. What's your budget for amp and speakers?

Dude I got 2 JL Audio 10W6v2's in my hoe and they thump big time

+1 JL Audio all the way....quality subs for just a little more $

MTX and Rockford are junk

 

[drowndindreams]

mtx and MA are dying audio companies. dont buy their shit. rockford is ok but 4 10s or 12s would be a pretty nasty setup. i would go with 2 10s or 12s JL audio W7s. thatll be as loud as 4 12s

I like my Rockford Fosgate P3D412. It's a quality sub. I don't know what yall are saying, plus I got for $118.00 online.

Kicker has pretty good subs, if you're looking for a good price, I would go with the Comp VR subs from kicker. They are 400watt RMS i believe, so thats not too bad, and on ebay $160 per pair (for 12s). It comes in 10, 12, or 15 inch. But like stated above JL is the best quality, just a lot of money.

ELEMENTAL DESIGN FTW!! i had a pair of 18s and they are decently priced!! and hit harder them w7's, and they are similar to jl as they don't require alot of wattage to sound awesome. http://www.edesignaudio.com/index.php?cPath=1
and they are running a really good deals for black friday and pretty fast shipping

kicker l7 or alpine type r, those are what I like anyways

 

[BigDaddy13440]

Alpine's and JL's are absolute garbage compared to most of the subs offered by the vendors here: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/

Personally, I've got some OOOOOOOld-school Celestion 15's in my rear quarter-panels, with some Powerbass 10's up front in my center console to solidify the staging. Works pretty damn well, if you ask me, although I'd be happy with the sound I get from just the 10's.

jl audio w7, all around good subs. if you dont want to spend alot, you can find them sometimes on ebay used.

Love my Infinity 1060W 10" powered by a Kicker KX250.2, Sounds Amazing! And hit's hard as well!

 

[99Bo-Tie]

well i just found on craigslist two Kicker 10" CVR's with a 750 watt Kicker amp for 350. Thats with the factory box. Is that a decent price and setup?

 

[chistoso]

I'm running a pair of Kicker comp VR's I got back in 03 powered by an old school Rockford Fosgate Punch 200ix and they still hit hard and tight..


Kicker!!! FTMFW!!!

fi car audio or dc audio for subs , with rockford amps are the way to run

 

[99Bo-Tie]

i have never heard of fi or dc audio?

 

[dblover1327]

Whats your budget?
I would do 2 dc audio level 3 12 with a sundown saz-1000 amp.
Both companies are the most reliable imo. Sundown customer service is the best hands down.

1st off when u ask on a forum ,what brands some one is going to say one is the best and others r better and the rest are shit. i have had a lot of subs. alpine rockford esclipse kicker mtx pioneer. and the list goes on. most with the same amp and boxs. your best bet is to go to a good shop and see what they have and hear them. pick your amp 1st then pick your subs.
i used to work at a shop and still do time to time. ive heard a lot of subs. thats my 2cents.

smaller companies.

Scott Atwell, original owner and developer of RE (Resonant Engineering) whom sold to US Amps. Sold RE, and opened Fi.

Rusty Flowers owns DC Audio.

as far as entry level i probably would go with some kicker comp vr's, but if you want to step it up give the kicker cvx's a try
