12" Assassin vs 12" db-500?

[95bat 10+ year member]

What would you guys pick?

2 12" assassins or 2 12" db-500s?

I'm thinking about picking up some db-500s, but I don't know if they'll really be an upgrade from what I have now. SQL application.

Personally, I don't think it'd be enough of an upgrade to warrant the purchase. I can't really say which is better, but they're both "the low end." If you already have the Assassins, just stick with them until you can spend maybe $200 on each sub instead of $100, then you should get a decent upgrade. Even if they are louder, is it worth spending the $$$ for a decibel or two?

Well I've just been itchin for something new lately

I won't be able to afford anything really nice until I get a teaching contract in August, so this might be enough of a change for me to hold me over until then //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I won't do it if it won't sound any better though.

Chances are good you want get much more SQ, if any at all, the Assassins are great SQ subs

If you really want a new project, why not just build a new box just to have something to do, lol. If you do decide to get the db-500s, let me know what you're planning on doing with those Assassins, I think I might have an idea for me to use them...

I can't build a new box, the box I have right now is the biggest/best ported box I can fit in my car

Plus its f'in COLD and I don't want to spend a weekend out in the cold building a box LOL. I have to make MDF baffles for my door speakers and I don't even want ot do that its been so cold
