at a crossroad need help!!

[fcivc24 10+ year member]

Im in the process of upgrading my whole system but Right now I have 2 rf p3s in a sealed sub box with approx .65 per chamber the subs are wired in parrel they are being powered by a rf 800.2 amp.. and it doesnt sound quite as good as i would like, so i have been thinking about having a custom ported/slotted box made or get new subs and keep the same box!! what do you guys think? will sound better

these are the subs i have been looking at

2 10" diamond audio d6s

2 10" infinty perfects

2 10" alpine type r 1500 watts

2 10" MA Audio subs

which ever ones sound the best for the money and be able to be pushed by my current amp

0r maybe 1 12" sub but has to be atleast comparable to 2 10s!

thanks for your help

I personally say the Diamond's

Good SQ and they have good output

Do the two 10's in a nice little ported enclosure on your amp, you'll be happy

Get two DVC 4ohm subs, run a sub on each channel, 400wrms to each //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Diamond audio gets my vote

Followed by the Alpines

Then Infinity

And finally MA audio.

What kind of amp do you have and whats the budget?.

 

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

His amp is the RF 800.2

Perfect for the little D6's, or pretty **** close anyways

RMS Recommended onthe D6 is 400, IIRC

im trying to stay away from getting new subs and a new box. the box i have right now with the p3s is a sealed box with .65 ft per chamber but if i absolutly have to then i will. Are diamonds good subs? are they reliable?

budget is around 300 hundred

amp is a rf 800.2 i have it bridged too

I have never heard diamonds! Do they get pretty low?i have heard the type r and they hit lower then my subs did but he was using a mono block amp as well

i doubt you'll get what you want outof the D6's in that box.....

 

[fcivc24 10+ year member]

why is that? what would diamond subs a ported box run me i have searched but cant find to much out about diamond audio. would i be better just getting a new ported box for the p3s?

 

[Jdizzle 10+ year member]

i'd say get the D6's and either build a bigger sealed box....or have someone hear on the forums build you a ported box (or you can do it and have someone supply the plans)

 

[fcivc24 10+ year member]

here Is what Im going to do im getting a new ported box regardless

and for subs here is what I have found

10'' type r for 98.00 + shipping

10 diamond audio d6 149.00 + shipping

10 inch infinty perfect 99.00 + shipping

The type R are lot cheaper then the Diamonds but if its worth it then I dont care!

Im still looking for anybody who has had experience with these subs

I have heard alot of good things about both what are the cons which one would aound better in a sealed box?

I would rather go with something that is not main stream if posible has anyone had both the new type rs and the d6s

i think the rms is 500 hundred, anyways the d6's are great subs, out of those listed, i think they are the best with a good blend of sq and output

do the d6s get as low as the type r's also how does the d6 sound when it get louder
