how are these subs good? bad? ugly?

[SirSilvia]

yes I've come to ask a simple question on a some subs. I don't need to be flamed, i still have scorch marks from the last time. any who they are pyle 1000W 15" subs. here they are I'm going for something big, powerful, and less expensive. I want them to blow my trunk lid off cuz it had that fugly cargo rack on it and i want a new lid.

I would stay away from the PYLE brand. Try something else like JL Audio, Infinity, Kicker, etc. PLUS, these brands sound great in small sealed enclosures.

Looks nice poor quality. Stay close to your common speakers or look up exclusive ones like beyma

What is your price range?What's your maximum enclosure volume?Do you want a drag db car or something with good clean sound?

[SirSilvia]

I would like 12'' or 15'' because I hate grocery shopping... sooo less trunk space the less I'm asked to go shopping. XDI would like two with great sound but not have to pay mostly for the name of the sub. right now all of my system is pioneer my 12-disc changer, 6x9 rear 4-way 240watt speakers, 6x9 front 3-way 220 watt speakers, and headunit.

[BMAR240SX]

I use to have a 15in sony i think it was in mine it was amazing. How in the name of earth did you fit a 6x9 in the front i wanted to do it but got cheap and did a 6 1/2 take some pic's i want to see how it looks.

[SirSilvia]

I bolted my 6x9s to the door panel with machine screws and washers. I just pulled those whatever those plastic enclosures out and wired them to the harness.i've got a better pic somewhere but i gotta find it first here are some pics

[SirSilvia]

Ok here are the pics, I had a helluva time finding them and here are the rears no adapters just cut bigger holes VEEERRRRYY carefully.

You didn't mention a price, nor did you mention how many cubic feet you can fit, so I will just give you options. Have fun, you have many more brands to choose from than what I am listing here.

Thanks man I kinda like the tc-1000. I've never heard of these companies before.

Pyle is low end junk...you can buy better quality for only a little more cash.

Well, I'm gonna be on the other side of the fence on this one. I've been in the stereo business for over 15 years. I've installed hundreds of systems with extremely cheap crap to extremely high end awesome equipment. You can get perfectly good sound from cheapo equipment if you install it right, use the right enclosure, and of course provide it with some decent clean power.

Whether it's good enough for you depends entirely on what you want and how much you want to spend. What price did you find those Pyle's for? I could sell you the Pyle 15" as pictured above for probably less then half the price of that TC-1000. There are many subs to be bought for a fraction of the price of the "good" ones. You can surely make them pound hard in your car and if you find them cheap enough you could afford to buy another even if the warranty didn't replace them in the unlikely event you blew one. But you shouldn't have to anyway. Most of them have decent warranties anyway. I've used plenty of the "cheapo" brands when people either brought them into the shop to have us install them or they wanted to buy something but didn't have the budget for a $200 woofer.

I've never heard of TC either but they look decent. There are dozens of decent speakers on the market right now. I can tell you one thing at $159 I would probably find one in a more known brand name because that's not cheap. Obviously I get them wholesale but even marking them up a bit I can provide a bunch of options in that price range.

Here's an example of a "cheapo" system that sounded pretty decent and the cost was rediculously low. We paid less then $10 for this sub and wired it to a little kenwood amp that was under $100. It's even running free air. The guy only paid about $250 for everything including install. He did have a really nice head unit tho that he already had. Obviously it's not going to compete with a $5000 system but for this old beater car and this guys budget it was great and it did "thump" which was what he wanted.

In home theater, TC-Sounds is brand name for the DIY'er. They supply the drivers for SVS http://www.svsound.com/index.cfm, argueably the best commercial subwoofer manufacture for the money.
