I'm sure everyone has this problem when first picking out subs...what to pick? This is basically what I'm shooting for and whats available...
1) Has to be loud. Now I'm not saying that I want 150dB's at 30 hertz. I would be very happy with a 145dB at like 35-50 hertz(the lower the better).
2) I listen to 95% rap, so I need the lows, and the lows needs to have authority. I'm not exactly sure how many higher frequencies rap has, but I'm assuming it's mostly 30 hertz to 60 herts right? Well whatever it is, I want the sub to play those nicely, but emphasizing more on the lows.
3)Each sub will be getting a Nine.1 most likely, so whatever can feed off 1000-1400 rms nicely at 1ohm. Don't worry about volatge or enough current, it'll be there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
4)I have a 1991 Jeep Cherokee. The back seats most likely will come out. I don't need them or care about them so I have quite a bit of space to work with. So don't worry aboput space people.
5)The price range now. Oviously cheaper is better, but I would really like to not spend more than $750 MAX on the subs. $500 would be really nice.
So what do you think. I'm torn between sealed and ported, but I'm thinking ported may be the way to go(maybe ABC enclosure????).
Thanks
