    Boston Pro replacements

    Looks good. Thought about the Z's but they didn't have a pair to listen to on display. I think that they're asking 800 down here for those in 6.5's. If they sold them for 475 or even 550 for he 6.5's down here I'd have them in a second. Never gonna find anything cheap like that in Hawai'i. Kinda...

    Boston Pro replacements

    Seems like my Boston Pro's have finally given out, after 6 years and 300 watts each side. Now I'm looking for something to replace them. I've been thinkinng about going with the new Boston Pro's, but the shop I always go to have been pushing the Zapco's to me. I can get either set for 500 even...

    Brahma Extreme ****....

    Heh yeah I know the note you're talking about. I know it well. The last 17 seconds of the song. Specifically at 2:27 and 2:31. It'll make that sub move.

    Alpine 9835 vs waiting 9855

    Doesn't look like I'll be giving up my 35 for the 55. That Glide touch crap would be all but worthless to me in my truck, as well as the ipod interface since I don't have one. I don't think that touch pad would hold up as well as whats already there, its a nice gesture though. The only thing I...

    To Seal, or to Port? That is the question.

    Port it deffinately. I'd say low 30's high 20's. I've got 2 in my Xtracab and its the best **** sound I've heard in years. Port it you won't be sorry.

    Any 8w7 owners out there?

    I've heard a 8w7 and a 10w7 in my truck. They do not sound like their respective sizes and they put out some sound...BUT, for some reason it just didn't sound good in my Xtracab. I went with 2 12w6v2's and couldn't be happier. Sounds much cleaner and hits low and hard. Just my 2 cents, from...

    8w7 or 12w6v2?

    I have 2 12w6v2's in a built to spec slot ported box in my Xtracab Tacoma. I've heard the 10w7 and the 8w7 in my truck, and while loud, it wasn't exactly something to write home about. Not much room in my cab as it is so its easy to get loud. Now the 2 12w6's I have hit way harder than anyone...

    Not sure ...XXX, Brahma, DD???

    Thanks for the suggestion I went with 2 12w6v2's in a vented box. The one 15 I was looking at wouldnt ahve been cost feasible if something went wrong with it warranty shipping costs and what not. Its more than plently loud. Somethings going to fall off of my truck before I can even take the...

    question for torque convertor pros

    So what do you want to know whats causing the problem? Sounds like a couple different things Try adjusting your shifter linkage, that could help. Or the big possiblility is that the torque converter is slipping. Sometimes a shift kit or valve body upgrade will cure the slow shifting problem. The...

    memphis mc 1000d amp ?

    I've got mine running at 1ohm. When the guys at the shop tested it, they said it was putting out a little more than 1100 rms. It pushes my 12w6v2's perfectly, and never gets overtly hot. Its also very compact, so if space is a concern, you can't go wrong. I've been pushing it pretty hard the...

    for those who have the Boston Acoustic Pros compos

    I have some Boston Pro's 6.5's. For about 4 years I ran them with 100rms per side, just recently I upgraded my subs and put about 300rms to each side(600rms total) ...All I can say is wow...The highs are clean and crisp like said previously, I listen to Hawaiian music mostly and the strums and...

    Uh oh.....van gogh

    Well after an out of the blue stereo shop visit today and finding out the shipping cost back and forth to RE are not covered under warranty repairs to Hawaii and would cost just as much as buying a new sub, I decided on getting a JL 12w7 in the H.O. Wedge. However, my friend found out that I...

    Will it push a 15 XXX....

    If I could find a Tantrum around I'd love to get it. Not many for sale anywhere though. You know of anywhere?

    Will it push a 15 XXX....

    Well I spoke to Mark at RE today to get the final pricing and its a pretty good deal. 539 shipped to my door for a 15 XXX Dual 2ohm sub. He told me that I should find an amp that is around 1600 watts. I found another SPL amp thats 1800 at 1 ohm. Since it'll cost me an arm and a leg to ship back...
