not sure what to do with xmas money

[llvllentalist 10+ year member]

I got 500 dollars to spend on subs and amp. Right now i got a dual 12" sealed box with some crappy pioneers and a california amp. The box is 1.25 cu ft per chamber, and ill probably be using this with my next setup seeing as how i have no clue on how to properly build a ported box. Ok, i was thinking of getting a hifonics bx1500 and 2 pioneer tsw-2000spl's. But i am open to other suggestions thats why im posting so if anyone could help me out and give me some more suggestions it will be aprriciated.

Spend the money and build your own box, systems are 90% install/box 10% equipment.

those pioneer will blow that box apart most likely. even if you dont build your own box get someone else to build it with you or for you. it will be worth it.

yeah spend the money on the box.......the pioneer's r pretty good subs but if u have to pay sum1 to build ur box 2 kicker cvr's should do nicely($175 shipped on ebay)

throw some shivas in there... give em about 300 watts a piece and enjoy great sq.

I want this setup for basicly spl not really to much sq, any more suggestions?

see if u can run up to a tweeters, and get the old style JL w3 12'' for $90 each, thats only $8 more than cost, they will be brand new, and the waranty is still good, and u can purchase a 5 year waranty for only $60 more.... Cant beat that. Hopefully they still have them around, i got the last 3 in Texas.

Mainly for SPL? A couple Comp VRs w/ about 300w each in a ported box tuned high would probably do the trick for ya.

This set up is for daily driving, how are the shivas in the spl category? Also i was looking at ascendant audio the atlas i can get 2 of them and a decent 600w rms amp for about 500 does any1 have any info on the loudness of these subs?

Not the best for pure SPL, but they get plenty loud //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

For Ascendant Audio, you're not going to get many reviews, because simply not many people have heard them yet.

cool, i'll have to look into it, does any1 have any more ideas, a single sub, amp setup maybe?

RE SE 15" woofer and a folded horn box.

im sure he will ship it all to ya for $400~450. that is a **** nice box too. and you can get by with 400~800w until you save up money for a REAL amplifier.

hopefully you have an SUV //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
