Problems With Buying Paticular Subs...

[MBrock4u 10+ year member]

For some of us (myself included) there can be some dificulty in choosing upgrades. Examles of such are IDQ, FI, RE, and the list goes on. While I have no doubt they are very fine subs, I have no way to listen to them BEFORE I buy them. IE: My polk momo's sound fabulous, properlly tweeked and what not, but to someone else that may not be the case at all. Sound is so subjective to the llistener, whle a certain sub is certainly good, it may not be what I am looking for. So how do we really know unless we can give it a least a listen to? Humm... I live around a metopolitan area, and no one sell stuff like Rainbow, FI, IDMAX, ect. We have people on here that will tell us how good they are, and you can pretty much take that to the bank, but, do you buy them and go, wow that wasn't what I was looking for? How do you really determine what to buy if you are not able to hear them first? Points to ponder.

Honestly a lot of it is music dependent and install dependent. If you have a lot of space there are certain woofers that work very well in large ported boxes and some don't. But hey maybe you want great SQ and not output. Or maybe you have a small space and some woofers don't like sealed /small ported boxes

When I have to choose in those cases, I usually try to ask the person the type of music they listen to. If it's along the same lines as me, I can usually trust that it does such and such songs justice.

Yup, one thing has held true so far. After proper adjustments, I have really been happy with one 12' type R in my escape. Just looking at the process of upgrading for sq.
