i need a list of mainstream sq subs

[alphakenny1 10+ year member]

no size preference just need some clean notes with some low end extension i more than likely will do sealed unless someone can change my mind

Then why does it have to be a "mainstream" sub. who cares if no one has heard of it, as long as it gets what you want who cares?

anyways if it must be "mainstream" get the JL w6v2's. awesome subs.

im sorry bimma i also forgot to mention i tried the w6s they sound great i just want something different than jl i should be more specific also what about the pg xenons

Never heard much on em, never really checked em out or tried to research em. I just don't like a neon light on my sub, I think it's pretty ghey. Type-x is an awesome, would recommend porting it though.

Never used any, but I've heard many eclipses do well sealed up....Again never looked into em, too much $ imo.

I would skip the PG's.

Honestly, if you can live with them not being mainstream, a pair of SI Magnum D2's will fit your needs perfectly...

im doin the mainstream cause i made a bet. i know it sounds stupid but my buddy just got his new w7 and he ported his box really high i mean to like 45 hz and he said that no setup would match his in sq and output and he said he would give me 200.00 if i beat him with mainstream stuff and bimma i know how you feel about the leds on a sub but look past that and also cant you disconect them so they dont look so dumb on the sub

Sounds like a single, mid-level 10" driver will beat him as far as SQ goes...output, that's a different story.

In output a Fosgate T2 would stomp him. But not in SQ maybe if you set up an optimal enclosure. I would say two T1's would be close. From the sound of his install...

The install has tons to do with it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif. Whats your budget?

Why would you tune a dub7 to 45? That's retarded, imo.

 

[fosgate140 10+ year member]

i know but thats what he tuned it at and it wont be hard to sound cleaner at all and i want to keep budget low if i can

You would only have to disconnect them if you had connected them in the first place. There is a positive and a negative 12vdc input on the Xenons to make the LEDs operate. Just don't bother to provide them with power and you won't have to look at them if that's your preference.

Having said that - I heard a pair of 12s sealed (my local Diamond dealer sells PG gear too) and I think the Diamonds sound worlds better. Retail pricing on the Xenons, IIRC, were about in line with the M6mkII/D6 so I would go with the Diamonds in a heartbeat.

Ever heard the saying you can't have your cake and eat it?

Sounds like your friend is an idiot, so if you have a decent amount of knowledge/time/patience. Then you might stand a chance with a small budget.

How much space do you have?
