Which Subs do I get and produce the best quality?

Stagray · September 13th, 2007, 01:50 AM

Here are the choices I have at hand:

Eclipse (SW8000) 10'' Aluminum Cone Subwoofer

Kenwood® (KFC-XW12R) 12" Dual Voice Coil Super Subwoofer

aside from the size differntial. I wanted JL W7's but I dont wanna pay 400+ per 10" speaker.

How much ampage do I need to look for to run these? Im not looking to over do it. I just want it thumping well enough for me to go def with and not the entire neighborhood.

Best sound quality? Out of those subs?

Just flip a coin !

Stagray · September 14th, 2007, 12:40 AM

are you saying they both suck?

For SQ yes
For Loud Bass: the 8000 aren't bad.

If you want SQ find some ID max subwoofers (which may cost you more than 400$ a 10 )

For cheap sound quality the infinity kappa perfect sub would work. If you can find them the Phoenix Gold Xenon will work also.

ok, I said screw it and bought 2 JL W7's. Now the question is what amp do I buy. I am buying all this stuff off of ebay and gonna have a store install it. they are trying to gouge me for the items. I will just pay thier labor and geta deal on the systems.

Congratulations, you just bought hype

Some good 1,000 watt amps would be nice.

Stagray · September 15th, 2007, 01:08 AM

It can be hype and thats OK, but I know it will sound good at least. (i hope)

And the w7s get really b****y about the box specs, so your gonna probably have to build one and go through the back seat if this is going in the stang.

Ya its a vert. Was hoping to not delete the seat ><

Best SQ for under $400= 12'' MB Quart Discus (about $100), hands down best in sq for under $400!!!

Best spl under $400= Alpine type X around $300 on ebay.

Best SQ for high price= 12'' IDMAX around $400-$500

Best SPL HANDS DOWN= 15'' MTX 9500 for around $450 on ebay.

I had a single 15'' MTX 9500 powered by 2 MTX 1501D's 2800 RMS in my dodge dakota and hit 155DB in a unregistered sound off competition. I beat an suv with 2 13.5 W7's barely. He hit 153.9 DB.

Hands down, the best in SPL in the 9500. I even hit 132 DB from 12feet outside the car, and just to let u know... a jet at takeoff is about 125DB give or take.

Stagray · September 24th, 2007, 11:53 PM

Im not tryin to get silly with it. I want to sound good, drop my top, sound good to folks around me and not spend more than 700 bucks.
