Gents, recommend me a sub please. My info below:
Car: 2009 ford fusion se
Number of subs preferred: 1
Size preferred (if configuration allows): 12”
Budget: $300
Power to be used (which amp(s), include which resistance): Memphis 16PRX1.1000
Space available (take measurements, do not guess): 1.8cubft ported box
Goals: clean, articulated, tight bass.
Listening habits: jazz, edm, rock … all music except modern country
Preferred brands/subs/whatever: whatever is available and sounds excellent.
: currently I do have a 12” ported box with a Memphis 12” power reference sub. My nieces like it very much but not I as I am not a basshead. I want my bass clean, articulate and tight, not the booming drone that shakes my trunk and license plate. My door speakers are 5x7 memphis m-class coaxials driven by a Memphis 16mcx475, since this going to be my daughter’s car eventually, I'm content with those components. The subwoofer system is said Memphis PRX1.1000 amp driving a single 4ohm 12” Memphis power reference sub rated at 250rms. The amp pushes 450rms so I suspect I'm killing my subwoofer, or should I restate and say the kid will destroy that sub with her hip hop. So, I’ve suspected I need to replace it sooner than later. One option is to step up the Memphis line to the m-class sub or even one of the mojos. I’ve also considered the JL 12w3v3-4, SA12D4 by sundown, and perhaps a Rockford or some other brand. My amp is 450rms at 4ohms, 750rms into 2ohms or 1000rms into 1ohm. Budget is around 300, or higher if it’s worth it. I need only one 12” for a ported enclosure. Gents, please advise if you get a moment. Many thanks.
