[pj2003 10+ year member]

i want to get a jbl 600.1 mono amp .

hereare the three setups i am thinking about hooking up to the jbl.

1) 3 10" rockford fosgate he

2) 2 12" kicker compvr

3) 2 adire audio 12" shiva

whatever setup i choose i will put the subs in the recommended SEALED enclosure.

i know yall are gonna diss me for askin this but which would be the loudest OUTSIDE the vehicle while not soundin like crap doin it.i have a reg cab so dont start tellin me to get a magnum cuz i aint got the room.ok?

I'm running my setup in a "79" Chevrolet k-20 single cab pick up truck. It hits hard. Real hard. I think its the right cabin volume for the speakers I'm running.

Cars get louder with the windows down. Some get even louder with the doors open. Mine hits real hard with windows down, but doesn't hit as hard with the doors open. That is what I mean by perfect cabin volume for the subs I am running.

shivas are best off your list.

http://www.adireaudio.com is the place to find all the info on shivas. If you can't find what you need send them an email with your questions.

The only thing though is that i hear they need a big box to perform well.

i can attest to those RE8s. By far one of the best bang for the buck less than $50. the output is amazing. I just put one in a crappy sealed box and low and behold! Bass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

We got a few people thinking they were at least 2 10's or 2 12's of some sort ahaha. I can't imagine 4 of them ported with gobs of power. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Ok I know these arent on your list but check out 2 12" Infinity Perfects. My friend has two in a sealed truck box and he sets off car alarms with it with ease. They will prolly sound better than those CompVR's

so 4 RE8's would be pretty **** loud?

Yes....yes they would. Especially if you can get 2 cubes after displacement and port them.

ok thanks for all the responses. cant find the rec. sealed box dimensions for the shivas so could someone help me out there. the most airspace i can give each sub is about 1.2 cu.ft. each. would the shiva perform well with that. not so sure about those 4 8's though i mean i'm sure they are good and all but c'mon.no way they could take some 12's.i'm sure whatever setup i get it would murder these **** sony's i got now. ( 7 mm xmax ....lmao!!!!! compared to the shivas 16.5)

I bet you would be surprised. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Try 12mm xmax one way on those RE8s. I have 2 ported with 200 watts on each and few people have guested right as to what they are hearing. 4 ported would just be sick loud for 8s.

I ordered my 2 re 8's and they should be loud as crap in my fiance's convertable. 1 cube ported to 35 hz. Bling Bling

The reason they hit so hard is their amazing excursion capabilities. However, if you can get a pair of Comp VR's or some other subs with decent excursion, the twelves have about 25 sq. inches more surface area than 4 8" RE's.

 

[TeamPSI 10+ year member]

Surface area has nothing to do with spl. Displacement does..

Im willing to make a little wager on 4 RE8's ported vs. 2 Comp VR's sealed...
