Subs: TB 6" vs TB 8" vs Assassin 8" vs SS RL-i8 vs Mach5 10"

djman37, does that "cheap gain knob in your sig harm SQ?

will 4 6.5" subs have more output than 2 assassins? I would love the look of 4 6.5" subs, but it would cost $160. I am leaning toward 2 new assassins or 1 RL-i8.

the knob in my sig is a low-pass, gain knob. she ain't full-range and no, it doesn't 'hurt' the SQ.

I think the 4 drivers is still the best option from the criteria listed.

did a test with 2 rl-i8s that were tuned at around 33-35hz. it was placed on a expedition. Powered by a hifonics brutus. Metered it with a TL and that baby did a 140. I was amazed. Those little suckers can get loud!

dB

Are you serious? Jesus christ your making me conteplate getting rid of my Type Rs and getting 2 of these! I dont even think my type Rs would hit a 140.

I would go a little bigger...my AA is in 1.3 cubes alone and it sounds amazing...I had four in a similar box (2.5ish tuned to 34) and the output had more to be desired...

what did u mean by this? that it was more then enough? or not more then what you desired?

sorry, sometimes things seem alittle confusing...

I say 2 MAW-10s ported, I have one in my regular cab truck in a sealed enclosure with the recommended 250w and it sounds amazing for what it is. The only sub I have to compare it to is a Rockford Fosgate P2 10 but it blew my old p2 out of the water in the terms of SQ. Plus Mark has great customer service!

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif The aa Assasins are SVC4. Is there another config coming out?
//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif I got an email a couple days ago saying the new assassins would be out in 2 weeks. I'm in the same boat as you man. But you should also include the TangBand W8-740C 8" Sub. I have one in my room off 100W and its verrry impressive.

ASSASINS ARE SUPPOSE TO COME OUT IN A DVC FORM... TO MY UNDERSTANDING.. I AM SCHEDULED TO PUT 4 IN.. ALSO IT SEEMS THAT THEY WILL BE ONLY SELLLING TO SUPPLIERS AND NOT TO THE GP... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif ..

Anyway, to the original poster:

I replaced my 12" L7 with 2 Assassin 8's. Both were in a ported enclosure. Both off the same amp. And I can honestly say the Assassins ALMOST keep up as far as output. But the SQ I gained was well worth the small amount of output I lost.

Plus they were $100 cheaper. I dont think you would regret going with the AA's. I know I dont.

Btw, MORE POWERRRRRRRRRRRR. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

new addition,

does anybody think i can run 4 of these @ 50W a piece?

I would love to run 8 and i could at 37.5 W per sub, but i can't afford it. 4 of them would only be $100 and they're the perfect size. could 4 of these compete with, say, a cheap 12" like the MAW-12?

No, it had more to be desired...meaning the box was too small and it could have been louder...that was at ~.6 cubes each

I checked with PE, and 50W is ok to send to these. how would 4 of these sound? would they sound better or worse than a single assassin 10 or MAW-10?
