Subs..... Not sure which or why.

[miker 5,000+ posts]

All these subs have the same RMS, but which one would be better? Why?

SPL

PA

Pioneer

OR? Would I be better off getting two cheaper subs?

i.e. 2 x of these

Could I hook two subs up to a mono amp?

I'm just curious as to why? I just need to get stuff straight to make an educated buy.

I am looking for ~1000rms+ for about 100$.

The Pioneer SPL, or a Alpine Type R... Both great choices.

Type R rated at 500, but will take a clean 1000 all day long.

"The Pioneer SPL" Are you loling me?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif They are like 600$.

Alpine

So I would be fine running that hard @ 1ohm? Would it get as loud as those other subs listed? Louder? Better SQ?

I want loud and clear for cheap... I can do 1 15" or two 10's or 12's. I'm not sure whats going on with money ATM, but I may double my budget!

Keep the comments and suggestions coming! They help me alot. I think now the PA's are out of the question.

-Question. Would two 500w subs be louder than one 1000w one??? Same brand model etc...

1Kw rms in a sub will not be attainable for $100

So are you saying the first ones I linked to will not do the rated power?

Anyone know where I can find wiring diagrams?

See, this is where it gets confusing... I have people telling me that 500rms subs will handle 1000w daily. Some say some are bad, other don't... I have extremely little experience with subwoofers... I have head some Sony's some RockforFosgates, and Duals.... As you can see from that list I would not no what something "should" sound like, and what brands like Alpine or Pioneer sound like....

When they only list MAX power, this should be a telltale sign to stay away from it.

Max power 3000w, RMS 300? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rotflol.gif.b453361716769b8110ddefc85ff03cd2.gif - I have no idea what the actual rms power is on that sub though.

Not sure what sub you are taking about... All the ones listed in my first post say "RMS 1000" The

Those Pioneers are solid subs. So are the Alpines. Just make sure to give them a nice amp and box.

How much do you want to spend? Power? Trunk Space?
