Subz Fer Da Saturn

[LoneRanger 10+ year member]

I'm going to kill my poor little Saturn.

I'm going to have enough money from my first paycheck to invest about $400-$450 in a new sub or two (or three!), and finally get my Saturn bumping. I've put a lot of thought into this (been holding off for nearly three months now) and I've finally decided that I want either a single 15 or a pair of 12's. This is what I like and can afford in this price range:

1 Adire Brahma 15" - $429 unless mr josh will hook me up cheaper. MMMMMM....XBL2.

3 Elemental K 12's - $330. Would have to go with sealed due to space limitations. Would leave a little over for some decent components.

1 Elemental A 15 - $270. Cheaper than the Brahma.....but not nearly as nice. Would leave some cash for really nice components....

1 RE XXX 15 - ~$429. Longer throw than a Brahma, but needs a bigger box.

Tell me what you guys think. I promise it's the last time I'll ask!

i would say go with the 3 k's....its one of your cheapest setups and if done right should be loudest because of the amount of cone area.

Daily driver eh... well, provided you have enough money for an amp that will supply it good power, I would recommend the brahma. It seems like it would be the best in terms of sound quality (that's what you want in a daily driver, right?). I guess you could make an XXX sound as good as a brahma, but it would be a bigger box.

I agree that the K's would be a bit much, for someone like me at least. But then again, you have that insane box in your ranger that's 10 ft.^3, right? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

The insane 10 cubes is in the Talon....the Ranger box was only ~5.5 cubes.

The amp I'm using to drive whatever I go with is a Cadence A7 (about 800-900w real world power on my stock charging system).

noice. So are you gonna port or seal whatever you get? If you seal a brahma 15 with that much wattage, that'd sound great in a box about the size of mine (36x18x12) with a double front baffle. My amps overdrive hardcore though when I turn the gain up to around 75% or above on big bass songs.

I'm going with an RE XXX 15". Yes, Regis, that's my final answer.

The guy at RE said they might have a few 2002 motors laying around the shop they could cut me a deal on (i guess the motor, basket and dust cap are going to look a little different after the next production run), and they would custom build one with the VC's optimized for my amp whether I got a 2002 or a 2003.

That's pretty awesome that they can do that.
