recommendations?

[offdahezy86 10+ year member]

yo im new to this groups and im looking to spend about $500 on a system, probably 300 on two 12"s and 200 on an amp. I've heard good things about alpine type R 12's, mtx 8000 12's, and kicker solobaric 12's. I'm wondering if yall have any other recommendations of some subs that'll run about $300 for both give or take a few. I want them to hit hard, and have atleast decent sq.

RE SE's- http://www.respl.com

Ignore the MSRP price, a pair of 12" can be had for around $300, call/email them...

And for an amp, you could do the JBL 1200.1- will do 1300 watts at 1 ohm, can be found for around $250-275

Don't get the 8000s, the Alpines are good, Solos require a hell of a lot of power. It is going to be said sooner or later so here I go.

RE or ED = good quality, excellent Sq, great SPL, very good price. Will be plenty for the normal everyday listener.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I got a pair of last year's 12" K's that the guy used for a week for $160 plus shipping off eBay.

Like jimmy said, great SQ, amazing SPL for what little power they need, and a price that beats the pants off almost all the other subs in their class, except for RE SE's. The SE's would have a little less SQ, but probably more SPL and definitely a bit more power-handling.

Both subs look cool too, and not everybody on the block has them.

Hope this (extremely biased yet accurate opinion from a satisfied customer of ED) helps! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I would reccomend a single 12" or single 15" that costs around 300, if your not going to compete, I say quality over quantity //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

he said he wants 2 twelves

everyone on this board is gona mention the same as the other guys mentioned, ED's or RE's or Alpine Type R's. dont think there any many others that are better for the price.

I am mentioning a single sub set up due to his budget, I would lean more towards a better quailty sub than 2 so so ones
