    Alpine CDA-9815 or Eclipse CD8443?

    most kicker subs sound bad because they have weak transient reponse because of their high mass cones, and way oversized voice coils for their excursion capabilities. plus they all look stupid with jungle slashes and crap on their surrounds and their dust caps.

    Alpine CDA-9815 or Eclipse CD8443?

    I like your imagination but I Also have used kenwood, nakamichi, and pioneer units. I used kenwood amps for a while then they died after 2 years and I used the internal amps. I KNOW it was a bad Idea but I had no warranty of my amps and no cash at the time but the Pros were covered. I like...

    Alpine CDA-9815 or Eclipse CD8443?

    I dont know what your deal is wolfey, but you really know nothing of proper install. I have had JL W6s, solobaric 8s 4 of em, and alpine type Rs, and the Audiobahn I have kills all of them in just pure sound reprdouction. It is the best sub I have ever had. low mass and perfect transient...

    what are the best subs in your opinions

    scary talking of a company such as audiobahn. They are quite nice. I also love ECLIPSE titaniums for this job. matched to a jl amp, or an XTANT that would be one sweet sounding completly wowing setup for me. but , hey little companines are good. MAs blow *** and sound like crap, Audiobahns...

    What is the problem with my system?

    uner the tunig frequency of the box the motin\on of the cone is uncontrolled. The solos are decent subs, THe amp is spectacular. IF your boost is huge like over 12 then that could be the culprit when pushed hard in a proted box with the sub sonic filter set worng. try raising the filter...

    To Underpower or Overpower?

    most speakers and amps are rated in general terms. A JLW0 can take 300 watts but is rated only fo 125. I would definatly get the larger amp sipmly because when you do upgrade, and you will, you will have a cleaner more powerful amp. as for the current speakers just dont push them to...

    Audiobahn 10" Excursion or 10" kicker Comp VR?

    for SPL go with the audiobahns. they will be louder by far. I use an audiobahn ALUM12Q and I have installed a pair of the ihgh excursions that were capable of over 145db in a dual chambered slot pro of abuot 2.5cubic feet per chamber. it was ball *** loud. I have also installed one 12 inch...

    Alpine CDA-9815 or Eclipse CD8443?

    clipping is not distortion it is the threashold of usable amplifier power. gain is a voltage setting and not a volume even though it affects volume. I hav amps, kenwood excelons on boston pros and they aren't the problem, If they were they would begone. MyEQ has a line driver so preout...

    Alpine CDA-9815 or Eclipse CD8443?

    I had Installed a 3421 with a eclipse 7 band eq in my car. I did fiberglass for the eq install. It was a great sounding unit with no problems for a year then I put a cd in and the mecanism just started going back and forth. The install is not the problem. As with the alpines the have cooling...

    Alpine CDA-9815 or Eclipse CD8443?

    The eclipse will probably sound good and so will the alpine. Both will die. My Eclipse has broken twice in 5 months with 7 weeks of service time. I have alse has 3 alpines that all had internal amp problems. I would go with either a nakamichi or an eclpise just because they usally work...
