I know you have BDawson...

but you aren't making it sound like Fi is the greatest brand...

there are a ton of brands out there that are good.

everyone also has a preference.

could somebody clear up all this fi bashing i see? i was quoted at around 800 for the type rs and everything, so i'de like to keep it around that. i should probably figure out what size i should get before lookin into all the brands. 12s seem to be the standard around me, but see im not black and i dont listen to THAT much 3 6 mafia. if i really want my house and techno to hit clear, are 12's going to cut it or should i step down to 10s? or even one 12 or 10?

you guys are f'ing crazy, and thanks for the help

I guess you figured me out....wow

 

[xtremebassjunky 10+ year member]

all i am trying to say is that there are A LOT of brands out there thats all...

you can't make it sound like Fi is the best.

for the money, yes it is good.

 

[djgreg 10+ year member]

I am in by no means limited to fi btw

 

[Ptown_TSxxx 10+ year member]

There is a lot stuff out that are great to for the price all I said was to name a few, lol but, you did name a good one though.

i want to see if the new hdc3's are as good a quality as the hd3's....

they are cheaper....

only time will tell...

 

[djgreg 10+ year member]

anyone know how much the 10 or 12" RE XXX goes for?

 

[xtremebassjunky 10+ year member]

ALOT....

i dont know specifically how much...

but at the last comp that i went to, they told me a 18" XXX cost nearly 2 grand...

I dunno if thats true... never tried to get RE...

but thats quite a bit... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

The Mach 5 spls looks promising too, that can be had for a great price.

 

[djgreg 10+ year member]

yeah, not happening. maybe they have a cheaper line that can put out?

 

[xtremebassjunky 10+ year member]

Mach 5 is a good option...

check maybe a soundsplinter rl-p 12 or maybe a AA havoc...

never used the AA...

but from my understanding both are good subs.

and the price isn't much on them... not 800 on type r's....

if you are like me... you like having things that aren't as mainstream...

I especially try to avoid stuff that all the kids around where i live bump with...

 

[Ptown_TSxxx 10+ year member]

What type of music do you listen to? what kind of box/power/ price point are ya aiming for?

 

[djgreg 10+ year member]

i listen to mostly electronic stuff, house, hardstyle, hard trance... i think i want to go sealed because I hear it will be more accurate. for price im saying 800 or less, and thats for everything.

thanks for all the suggestions, ill have a look when i get some more time
