What is your Favorite Sub?

[Phax]

I like the kind of subs who like being tied up and spanked.

With regards to the thread though, I have a PPI 10" and I like it a lot. Nice and clear, it has taken all the power that I've thrown at it and it still hits clean.

[diamond]

[Silvia2b]

Not even "diamond" gonna mention the Diamond TDX, or even the old MACDADDY'S. O.K. Slightly on the pricey side but much quality than the W7, in the same range. I have also used the M6 subs.

[diamondj30]

you got me silvia.good one.i cant even remember them all,but ya way weird list like cartoys or somethin,lol.

[blacks13ek]

audiobahn For sure

[sidewaySilvia]

I wouldn't go with audiobahn for s.q. But for durability for sure.. I still don't know what would hit hard lows and have the s.q in other ranges for the price..

I guess I'll have to stick around for some time before buying.

[diamond]

my friend tried audiobahn in his world champcar,not even close ,got thrown in his jeep,left his 11"focal in his dash.lol.idq not bad at all.low airspace.have you guys checked out DLS brand speaks.im gunna check out .maybe,lol.

[sidewaySilvia]

Haven't heard them yet.. Let us know.. What about power acoustics.. I heard them in a bandpass and they were hitting nice for the price of $200 set with box. Any takes?

Gonna start "what's the best component speakers?" thread.. Please , everyone's input

whoever said MTX belongs in a flea market is a dumbass

[sidewaySilvia]

Mtx thunder 9's aren't bad for the price.. But so much to choose from

C'mon!!!

I would stick my two Cerwin Vega 15in 3-way house speakers in my back seat. These things are rated at 108Db 1w/1m and have a frequency response down to 15Hz. Hehehe. I could power them with a 50W x 4 Head unit and still get over 120Db. Isn't that amazing. I'd spend a total of $200 and still be able to pound the $hit out of anybody within 20ft. And the best thing is, they don't sound like $hit, like most car stereo systems with subs do. I hate the whole "boom boom" crap. But, if they insist on messing with me, I'll send them away with their tail between their legs

Anywho. For dedicated car subs. I would probably make an array of 8 15in or 18in subs from either legacy or Pyramid. I love their stuff. I can get an 18in driver for $45. . Now that's my kind of price.

Now, for single drivers, I would probably go with a 15in or 18in Cerwin Vega Mag series. They produce great SQ, and arn't too "boomy".

Just my $0.02

[SKarpenz]

WTF, no one likes Kicker here? Kicker subs are very nice for the price (unless you want L7's, jesus). my friend had a Comp VR 10 in a ported box, running at 700W (yes, 700 watts on a 600W max subwoofer) and he hit 140 dB. the sub never blew either, he had it over a year before selling it to me.

right now im finishing my custom box to fit 3 of those Comp VR 10's in the hatch of my 240 along with a 2400W amplifier. its going pound like hell.

so come on, what with these cheap **** subs, like legacy and sony...

[base9se]

I like Infinity Kappa Perfect. Been using them for the past 8 years now. Used to bump with Soundstream & JLs. For the price you can't beat Infinity.

[yelnatsch517]

You guys are talking about good quality subs right? Well audiobahn should stay off of there. It is almost as bad as Sony stuff. The rms ratings on it are only thermal ratings and do not determine the SPL that thing can dish out. Audiobahns aren't loud nor have good SQ. They are probably what is good at places like circuit city and such (reminds me of BOSE), but should not be considered in the same category as subs you buy from professional audio stores. I agree with that one guy who mentioned RE XXX subs. If you want quality subs go with that, Adire Brahmas, or ID MAX. Just to give you a hint for those of you who have never heard of these subs, the RE XXX sub is considered one class higher than JL W7's. SPL is decent with these subs and SQ is excellent.

Kicker solo baric L7

Highly underrated....but damn

[AustinSilvia]

i don't suppose i have been exposed to THAT many subs, but i've heard all of the mainstream ones and some others. i really liked the older mb quart premium series sub. i say older, but i don't think they have changed over the years. the last time i listened to them was around mid way through 2001. i like those a lot but i LOVE my bostons. they are pretty comparable, maybe the mb quarts are a little cleaner, maybe the bostons handle more power, but all in all they are pretty evenly matched and i like them both. i only wish i could listen to higher end stuff to really see the difference. simm i think probably gets to listen to the best and the brightest. i'm jealous, but i can't imagine what i'm missing out on, because i really like the stuff i have listened to and mentioned above.

[gounc14]

I <3 Adire Audio. Had 2 shivas in my Taurus SHO, down to 1 when I got the 240 FB, now trying to figure out the whole Bose system thing in my 99 Maxi.

[Simmsled]

Call me old fashioned, but the Precision Power Pro series subs (flat carbon fiber and nomex weave piston) rocked. Yeah Austin, have had and heard so many different subs in all different kinds of sizes and configurations... but the PPI Pros had it all. Unfortunately they are nearly extinct. If I were buying tomorrow, I would have to consider a 12 inch Brahma or a proper sub from Image Dynamics.

[SickImports]

I went with Rockfords but I like many brands so im clueless

[LukeDogg316]

I have an 12' Alpine Type S, but after hearing my friends JL 10w6.

I gotta go with JL now

But don't get me wrong Alpine, Kicker, JL, Eclipse, PPI and Orion are the best subs out there.

[DOOM240sx]

Kicker solo-baric L7 is a nice sub for sure i have 1 10" in a custom box where the back seat used to be in a S13 hatch.

DOOM out.

[left channel audio]

so many people like kicker/audiobahn/and wtf fosgate.. please dont make me laugh... kicker subs sound like **** but have the abbility to get loud... audiobahn just plain sounds like **** and fosgate has sucked for 8 years.. as far as jl goes ... nice product ..would i buy it ........................ hell no way to much money for the quality their giving you.. now some good names... re audio,focal,adire,a/d/s as far as subs go spl wise re has everyone by the balls... xbl2 technology xxx for 500$ and now 53mm of excursion???? find me a jl sub with the same and a flat bl curve????????

for sq its still re but also focal.. and for highs.. you think q series sounds great because you havent a/b'ed them next to some k2p focal's .... pic up a car audio mag and notice that foacl's are always rated "best component speaker" for 900.00 k2p's are the ****... hell we might as talk about ampos too... oooooooo audison.. thats all
