well, Im wondering what you guys suggest for a sub or subs. there are just so many options out there.:hmm:

I would plan on using an orion 250 hcca amp that is 800x1 @ 1ohm.

a small sealed enclosure would be nice. 1 10" or 2 10s" or 1 12".:hmm:

im not looking to be heard for blocks around, just a very nice solid thump.

whatcha think?

how much you looking on spending?

we can make suggestions, but ultimately it's going to be you that needs to make a decision ;)

shoot out all suggestions and i will go from there.

Money no problem .........I would go AudioBahn Flame Qs. Thats what my friend sells at his shop and they hit hard.:lildevil:

audiobahn, IMO, stay away...

800x1 @ 1ohm. you are going to need 1 DVC 2ohm sub or 2 4ohm DVCs (to get 1 ohm) The older Orions are solid amps though.

I suggest, however, using less power and put a S10L7 solobaric 10" in a 1.5 cu ft sealed box. I've powered one with 600rms (fosgate 500bd) before and it performed very well. I could turn it down and mix it in with the music for awesome SQ, or I could crank it and be heard around the block.

If you want to use that amp for sure, then you'll probably be looking at 2 subs... If you're looking for brands: I don't care for the new fosgate stuff. The older stuff (DVCs) is good stuff. JL generally makes good subs, both old and new.

would that amp be too much for 1 12" L7 sub?

not at all... that's about the optimal power for those beasts! I've seen people run 1000bds on 1 s12L7 in a ported box and make lotsa noise. just be careful with your gains.

Do the L7s have good sq? Or should I just get a couple of good 10's?

What is a good model for jl audios?

too many friggin choices out there!

Yeh, good SQ. I had 1 s10L7 in a properly tuned ported box and it actually had decent SQ. I had a buddy with a couple S10L5s in a sealed box and they sounded amazingly tight.

If you are trying to use up 800 watts, I'd try the W3 line.

and if you're trying to use 800 watts and want the W3 line, i'll sell you my two 15s... because i don't want them. they're good subs though.

L7s aren't great SQ subs, but when installed right, they actually are very decent

im leaning towards 1 12" IDmax at the moment. Ive read alot of good things about them.

They seem to offer good sq and spl at the same time.

Try focal, expensive but really nice

you aren't kidding! those are expensive! IDmax is a great sub too.

mystical...what kinda setup were those in? amp, enclosure, etc. i emptied my trunk last month to pay for my motor, and i'm on the hunt again.

whatcha think?If your looking for Sound Quality Subwoofers, These are at the Top of my list for SQ. http://www.diamondaudio.com (http://www.diamondaudio.com/)

If you want a High Powered SPL Subwoofer, These are hard to beat but they like MASSIVE amounts of Power to drive them. :D Depending on which model you choose > These subs are cRaZy LoUd :bonkers:

I am currently runing 2 12" punch hx2's with a 1500 watt amp and they hit really hard

i like JL audio's 15 inch 15w6's .. not the newest model (xxw7) but they are rated to handle 400 watts RMS each.. give them just 350 watts for a pair and it rattles everything. Today i was driving down the road and my hat was vibrating to the beat. You see them alot in compititions

I think you should get 2 jl w7's 12 or 15 '' , and a jl 1000/1 for each to run to . That will thump the hardest


but you'll be spending some $$$


I have 2 15'' aluminum eclipse's and 1 jl 1000/1 and that hits hard too.

you wanna give me a grant for about $2500? I will then buy the stuff and let you know how it sounds. ;)

Have you decided what sub you are going to use in your new system? If so do you have any pics and specs on it?

adire audio makes very nice subwoofers. ive got two 12" shiva DVC subwoofers, purchased them 100 each off a friend. they got for about 200 a piece on the website. adireaudio.com

theyve also got a competition subwoofer, never heard it in person but ive heard more than enough good things about it.

for an amp, i went with a JBL power series 600.1 its 1ohm stable but i run it at 2ohms i bought this one for 200 bucks, and ive been using it and using it and using it more for almost 2 years. a lot of people will have negative things to say about JBL amps but for 200 bucks i couldnt ask for me outta this thing.

i also have the original infinity reference 10"...its a good speaker, but the jensen 200.1 amp its powered by is junk. less than 100 bucks total for these 2 items.
