i did recommed it but the XXX 15" like i have is 450$...he cant spend that much

i dont know which audiopoop is the eye candy but my brother got a pair of the best subs they had (aluminum cone) to his shop, and within 2 days the cone had separated from the VC. not well made at all.

just because he doesnt wanna dish out 450 for a 15 doesnt mean he has to get a piece of shit. i would rather go with a decent 12 than a POS 15.

Back when i was in high school, i would do installs for fellow football teamates, All they would buy is audiopipe, because they came in many colors. But in every install i used audiopipes in The Cone would become detached just like analogkid mentioned and prior to that they souned horrible, Audiopipe subs are worthless.

hes gonna get a lot of cancellation. im sure they will take up most of the trunk and end up firing into the trunk lid like 3 inches away of theyre ported.. go for 2 12s or a single 15 itll be much better. how much money DOES he have to spend?

Yeah I agree, he would be off better if he were just to get two 10's ported, or two 12's sealed or 15.

audiopipe eye candy sucks....i think the 15's are rated above 1000w....doubt it....they dont give the bang that they say it gives...an aquaintance of mine bought a 15" blue eye candy for his Prado...not to say the sub isnt good...but it isnt loud...its a starters sub as i would say...and yep...the VC separates from the aluminium cone...if you solder or glue the cone down then maybe you can have a reasonable sub...but not for loudness or sound quality

 

[creater 10+ year member]

there was a technician who bought 2 of the eye candy 12"s...he removed all the soft parts and re coned it with a combination of parts...and he wound his own coil and used a 15" cone that he cut to fit the 12"...something about the cone he got not fitting...anyways...its a good sub if you're planning on doing what he did...but he did it for fun and uses the 12"s for midbass now...

the older audiopipes...not with the aluminium cones would go a little good in a sealed box for starters

At a local dealer I heard a higher end Audiopipe 12 put in direct competition against an Infinity Kappa 12. Roughly 1 cube sealed, 250 watts RMS , and the same vehicle. In EVERY aspect of a woofer, the Infinity wiped the floor with that Audiopipe before handing it back it's *** on a platter, and then pole vent raping it.

If he wants Audiopipe, Infinity subs will outperform it by a league and they aren't really expensive. IA subs get insane loud for cheap, as well. And there's always the ever proven RE subwoofers mentioned. Tell him to do some homework.

Definately do your homework. I first bought two 12'' volfenhags and they ****, then I did my homework and got me a XXX.

I heard one setup with two of the big 12" Volfenhags with the PHAT surround (back when it was the thang!) and they pounded wang. Of course it was an oversized box tuned at 40 hz and they were most definitely unloading at the same time, but **** did they pound.
