Help with choosing new subs!

[Setty7 10+ year member]

Right now ive got a single 12" l7 in a down fired box in a chevy tahoe. I know that box isnt for a suv but i totaled my truck and just threw it in my tahoe. Im looking to get a louder and cleaner bass. Any suggestions? I am looking at the alpine type x, fi (dont know which model?), or rockford (dont know which model?) or is there something else out there that is what im looking for? I would like to get 2 12s or 2 15s. thanks for any help!

2 l7 or solo x 12s in the right box should hit pretty hard in a tahoe I have 2l7 12s in a 01 dodge they seem to do the trick.Never tried the others but heard some fogate t1s that hit pretty hard also.

please leave this forum,

anyways, OP. the type x isnt bad but fi is gonna be better and i think cheaper too, DONT TOUCH ROCKFORD, unless its an amp and ur getting it for 80 percent off retail. honestly if i were you id just surf the classifieds here, this is the place whre you will find the best suff at the best prices.

The older RE's have a better reputation around this forum.

Newer ideas would be SA-12's, Skar 12's.

Fi and many others also offer full line ups.

Cadence is fairly new know a guy with 2 12s on a 3000 amp dont know what he paid though

Im gonna try to stick with fi, re, and alpine bc for one im not going to do any competitions and 2 i only know name brand hah

 

[Robert 2001 10+ year member]

Thats why I stuck with kicker was thinking about the alpines when I got my 2 l7s im running 1200 rms @ 1 ohm not too bad for a pickup

FI makes great stuff, take a beating and sound great for a reasonable price. All subs custom hand built too. Wait for the new ssd subs from them to come out with the neo magnets //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
