New System

[FoxMoto54 10+ year member]

Hey guys, i'm farely new to the audio seen so be patient with me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I was thinking of getting either two 12" L7s or two 12" type-Rs, which would you guys recomend?

Also I was thinking of powering them with a Clarion DPX11500, would that amp work/sound good? if not which amp would you recomend. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

are you wanting sound quality or just plan loud

Mainly rock, some hiphop/techno. I would like to get a balance of both SPL and SQ. I drive a '94 Eagle Talon.

I know I can get a better amp but a friend offered to sell it to me for $350 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

for 350 you can get a way better amp

Which amp would you suggest?

 

[BuckyBoy 10+ year member]

I would get the L7s over the Type-Rs. Then, get a Kicker amp to power the L7s. Or you could use the amp you listed. But, 350 isn't a steal or anything...

Hmm I see, diden't think to check Ebay. I looked on Clarion's web site and seen that the amp retails for $700, just figured that $350 was a good deal. Thanks for your input.

even in most stores if you find the amp it will be nowhere near 700

the l7s with a kicker amp would be good.

You can get a way better amps and better subs for that much money.

If you want sq, I wouldn't get any of that stuff.

What all do you have now? Deck, speakers, anything. You can bring a VERY nice system with that budget. Let us know what you have and what you need, and we can help you out

I have a Clarion DXZ775USB deck, front and rear Alpine Type-S 6 1/2 speakers.

I want the subs to hit hard but I don't want to sacrafice SQ. I was planning on spending around $1000 on the subs and amps alone. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
