I'm Tired...Deep Bass within Small Parameters

[Omega3dog 10+ year member]

Folks,

I'm Tired!!!

I've posted messages previously of trying to seek the best subwoofer option for my Silerado Extended cab. Given that I'm seeking strong and deep street-bass (SQL???) from approximately 750w-1000w, I'm tired of searching for the perfect sub. I'm faced with a 12" settled in a smaller than optimal box or something smaller in an optimal box.

I understand that most of you have faced the same challenges and opinions varie. However, I would like to get it right from square one for a change.

Please help narrow the search within my current limfacs, to include: 1.9^3 (gross); 1-12", 2-10", 2-8" or 1-10"; no rear seat modifications; less than $500; and xxxxxxxx

Considerations thus far:

1-Digital Design 2512/10

1-Kicker CVX 12/10

2-Kicker 8"L7

2-JL10w6

1-JL12w6

1-JL10w7

The list goes on-and-on. I've never heard a sealed system, attended a db drag, nor have the network of friends that enjoy audio this much.

I've grown tired of rsearch. Please help narrow my search, because as I dig deeper and deeper into the car audio world...the options grow exponentially.

check out the Dayton Reference HO 10's two ported will sound excellent and get pretty **** loud. 1.5 cuft net for the pair tuned to 30hz will do great.

That sub look good. Hard to beat the price too.

i would probably do a pair of the w6s but honestly it depends on how much port area you have for the 2512... they can do nicely in 1.9 but you need about 45in^2 of port area tuned to 30 for them to kick *** and take names...

Will one 12", in a LESS than optimal box, sound deeper and louder than a 10" in an optimum box?

 

[dragon.breath 10+ year member]

louder- yes.................... Sq is a different question. my personal opinion would be 1 jl 10w6 in a ported box. i have heard that setup in a scion xb and sounded great and got plenty loud.

BA SPG555 fits in 1 to 1 1/2 cft sealed, and sounds great. Will work best with the power you're planning to use. Can find them on Ebay for less than $500. No worries about them being used, either. They have replacable VC, that can be swapped between 2 ohm, or 4 ohm. They also have a removable cone/sider/srround. Weigh only 26 lbs.

if you have the money, these are awesome subs. i wish i could hear an install with 2 of them. 1 was impressive.

Kicker 10L5 in a ported 1.1^3 (net) enclosure around 50Hz. I bridged two channels of my 600.4 (~250w) to the sub, with the remaining two pushing the highs.

that box, as you already know, is useless for any other sub. i would do 2 12's sealed. you have .95^3 per sub. that's doable for alot of 12's.

[dadydolas 10+ year member]
