    Best sub for low power low budget output? Pioneer CH-pro vs Infinity Reference

    The amp is a logitech ultra-linear plate amp. Its a 6 channel amp. and we are kinda stuck with it. This will be a portable system that will be part of the car most of the time. There will be times where the sub is removed with the amp and used indoors. The amp has a fixed x-over and therefor...

    Best sub for low power low budget output? Pioneer CH-pro vs Infinity Reference

    Jordon, All those are great subs and all but they don't fit the budget and have a WAY higher RMS than 175 watts. As for the lanzar max pro, I am worried it wont sound that good. It will be in a custom ported and braced box built myself. (I have build like 12 boxes in my days so far) I want it...

    Best sub for low power low budget output? Pioneer CH-pro vs Infinity Reference

    So I am building my friend a system. He is pretty low on the budget for this and we already have a 175w RMS (@ 8ohm stable only) amp. The goal here is LOUD but clean and the deeper/core shaking the bass the better. Here is what we are looking at: Infinity 1262W Reference Series 1200W 12"...

    Help selecting a 15 for limited box space

    Not trying to fight this. I just want to understand why things are the way they are if Im going to go against what I initially thought. Also the HD Seems nice but I'm not sure how I would go about getting one and what the prices are.

    Help selecting a 15 for limited box space

    All the ported boxes we're either particle board or 5/8ths mdf and tuned 40-45hz. Does the stiffness of the box have a large impact on the boomyness and cleanliness of the sound that much? I plan on using 3/4 mdf I have a Rockford fosgate power t1 12 @700w rms in a 1.5 cu sealed box and its...

    Help selecting a 15 for limited box space

    It is true all the ported boxes I have heard were pre-fabs. They were however within the recommended size of the manufacture. I planned on making my own box for this woofer. If I were to go with say a x/zcon 12 and build the "optimal ported box" found on their website my concerns are: That it...

    Help selecting a 15 for limited box space

    Reason I was looking for a 15 sealed for SPL is because every 15 I have heard and my research would have me to believe that they hit lower and louder than 12s. Sound quality is really my primary concern but I already have that figured out for the most part and only need the forums help on SPL...

    Help selecting a 15 for limited box space

    So a while ago I joined here looking to find a better sub to handle the power I was feeding it. Since then I have educated myself greatly and have narrowed that selection down to a few woofers. Now I am trying to get some extra input before I pull the trigger. I'm looking to get the most SPL...

    Help selecting a 15" subwoofer for 2kW RMS

    I like how that sub has more rated power handling. It would make me alot less scared of blowing it. Now I haven't heard as much hype or anything really about SSA's subs and its more expensive than the X15. I also like how it seems to take a smaller size box and its resonance is 31hz instead of...

    Help selecting a 15" subwoofer for 2kW RMS

    You guys are awesome! So after much research into these new brands I have come across thanks to the help I think I have decided on the Sundown Audio X 15.2 I need to do some measurements on my trunk and if possible I will make their recommended box. The one you can download the sketchup file...

    Help selecting a 15" subwoofer for 2kW RMS

    So your telling me if I went with this Sundown woofer (WoofersEtc.com - X-15 D2 - Sundown Audio 15" Dual 2-Ohm 1250W RMS Subwoofer) that it would take 2kW all day like a champ despite not being rated for it?

    Help selecting a 15" subwoofer for 2kW RMS

    Wow. Loving the quick replies. @Dmac1991, My goals are: as much if not more SPL as the L7 15" at 1000w decent sound quality (doesnt have to be fantastic just better than the L7 and being a square thats not hard to top) to hit as low if not lower than the L7 15 to take my amp at 1 ohm for 8...
