[QUOTE="kendogg, post: 8778724, member: 573942"] Hi everybody. Lookin at subs for the first time in awhile. I've had stuff all over the spectrum, and I've noticed that the design criteria for newer stuff is WAY different than back in the day. Now it seems like every big sub is some bottom-feeding monster that has 4" of xmax but has nothing up top. I've had a few of the the ultra-low inductance drivers, Don't like them. Want something MUSICAL. I had a couple dozen original JL W0's in various configurations & sizes. My favorite subs ever made are Orion XTR Series 2's. Old Kicker Solobarics were, obviously, awesome (round ones, way before the square SPL ****). If I were looking for something made today, having a similar sound to those old school subs, what should I be looking for? For reference, my sub collection is pretty simple. Wanna preserve most of it though if possible and at least try to buy something new for this build. (2) Orion XTR Series 2 10" DVC's (1) Orion XTR Series 2 12" SVC (1) ED EHQS 12 (1) Image Dynamics ID8 (3) Rockford Fosgate HX2 12 (4) ED 11Ov2 - 3 functional, 1 torn surround (on that note, if anybody knows where I can get the correct surround for the 11Ov2, I'm ALL EARS). (2) JL free-air 8's in BMW E36 StealthBoxes [/QUOTE]
