Looking for an SQ sub...

[Burnout 10+ year member]

I need a sub with tight bass rather than "booming" bass. I want it to hit hard. I need an amp, too. My price range is under $200 for two subs and under $100 for an amp.

well your gonna be out of luck on any good quality amp for below 100.....i suggest looking at profile or us accoustics for amps...both are good bang for the buck amps...as for subs...bump your price up to 250 and u could get 2 shivas or 2 edk's.....

yeah for that price range it might be difficult

i would suggest Adire Shiva subs ($125 a piece, adireaudio.com)

or infinity subs r for SQ too, as Eclipse subs.

$100 for an amp wont cut it much.

check ebay if you are stuck at 100 .. you might not be able to find one for under 100 but you can probably come close...and stick w/ profile or us acoustics like Goddy suggested.. great cheap amps

alpine type r's are only 115 shipped each at ikesound.com

i've had those subs and they sound **** good. power hungery in small box though.

U can get 2 12" polk GNX 4 $160 plus shipping. Or if u are close to a circuit city they have them their too. That should also leave U enough money to get a profile amp. Then just get them in the propper box.

Well you dont have to have 2 subs, you can get one really good $150sub and a nice sub amp such as the USX600D, etc...

 

[loserpunk 10+ year member]

yea you could probably get louder with woodmister's idea go and get one nice 15 and then an amp to match it....or you can get ed k 10s for like 110 a piece which is a pretty good price...i'm not sure on the direct price of a 15 re hc but you might also want to check them out.....good luck

Sealed or ported for tight bass? 8",10",12", or 15"?

Thanks for the help.

If you are going for a PURE SQ setup, then 1 12" sub would probabbly do. Have you considered a 12" Eclipse Aluminum? I'd say quality over quantity, otherwise you have to get pretty low quality subs and a low quality amp.

if you want all out sq then i'd go sealed..some ported boxes can sound good but it'll be easier and sound better(sq wise) if you go sealed...
