Gonna ride the FI boner here. How about 2 FI SSD's with the copper coil option. I've been hearing the sq is pretty surprising with the copper coil option. 2 of those in a sealed box would get decently loud. Only thing is no room to go ported and kind of on the expensive side. Leaves not money for a box. You could build a simple sealed box yourself.

I like grubbs suggestion too. Type r's would be cheap, easy, and decent.

I've heard good and bad about the SSD's, then again you get that about any product.

Originally I wanted to suggest two SE or Q 15's sealed on that power, but I figure that would be pushing it too much for the price he had.

Yeah, i guess it's all hear say to you've actually heard them yourself. I setup my friends 15" Q. Was very impressed, figured SSD their entry level sub with the copper to help with sq, wouldn't be bad for a noob.

Sounds like he has very little experience, maybe we should be suggesting a setup that's easier for his first install.

You're right.

Two 15's sealed

He aint ready for the ported

Seriously, have you thought about the wire that you're going to be using or upgrading your battery, big three upgrade(you have a tiny alt and battery), anything electrical? Or did you assume it'd be all right?

Also, where are you going to get a box? Build it yourself, or buy it on here? Do not buy a pre-fabricated one from CC or Wal-Mart or Best Buy or whatever. Just dont do it.

I've heard the HDC's but not the SDC2.5's. Great reviews and look very beefy, so I think they're reasonable to suggest in the situation nonetheless.

wher could i purchase these subs at

make sure you port those Rs at 1.70cu.ft. if you decide on those. they are sooo much better ported. I switched the box 2 days ago from being sealed. they are 5x louder and still sound really good.

i got a optima red top battery new altenator and its either 2 guage or 4 ga wiring kit already in the car everything already hooked up i just retired my older subs

That would be correct.

I'm sure you can find some used Type R 12's on here. Make sure you buy two Dual 4ohm subs, whatever ya do.

look in the FS section @ the hertz 12s

 

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

I also see FI Q's and Type R's in the fs section.

Another one I should add in is the Kicker CVX

Two of them on 1500 rms would be pretty nice.

ok i think that im going with 2 12 jvc arsanal(i think thats how its spelled) my friend has both of them new in the box in my price range any opionons on these subs would be appreciated

 

[BumpInDaTrunk 10+ year member]

i think you'd be way better off with the alpines. they would match your amp better at 2ohm, be louder, and handle more power.

i haven't heard any jvc stuff and no1 i know has any jvc stuff. I don't think jvc is very popular either. I see it as a wal-mart brand //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

if you want assurance for the alpines check out the 106 reviews on crutchfield.com

(Alpine Sub Reviews)

plus alpines are great if your new to this.

here the site if you want to check these out

Alpine has comparable type-x 1000w rms/3000w max subs. every brand has different level models. the alpines are a better deal for the money. power consumption doesn't always determine quality and loudness. $220msrp for 500rms for the alpine as a pose to $320msrp for 600rms for the jvc at the same level model. Also, alpines are reliable, have great sound, and are much more reviewed and popular. I'm not putting jvc down, just trying to help you make an informed decision. if you know people with jvc, like it, and have done the research then definately get it. 250 sounds like a good deal and idk enough about jvc. i thought they were mainly home audio. its funny they use "hemp technology" and they definately look nice //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. I'd give em a try if its for a friend.
