Time To Upgrade. Any new sub deals out there?

See if u can get like 2 15" Mach5 SPLs... I'm i remember correctly they are based in Canada so shipping shouldn't be too bad and wouldn't have to worry about border fees or whatever u guys have to cope with.

But besides that only thing is the HDC3 18s like u mentioned, IA DP 21 would be sick too, or even a huge single 18 like a LVL5 or similar woofer.

 
if u can get killer prices on aq then go for it since shipping would just reem u for a real woofer (DC) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
No offence but your "real" subwoofer broke on low wattage, I dont want that

I cant afford TWO Mach 5 spls, neither do I have close to the power to handle what they want. Nor is it suited to my type of daily music.

This car will never be competed in.

Theres also the MJ18m, but I dont know its level of output, compared to say and HDC3 18", but the MJ's are **** cheap

Idk bout the new MJs but the old ones IMO had better SQ than HDC3s but the output wasn't even close.

IMO i don't think you can do any better right now than 2 HDC3 18s or a single 21" DP for the price u listed. I've seen BNIB Type-R 15s go for like 175-180 shipped on ebay all the time, 4 of those walled off would be pretty nasty too. Or you could just do a bunch of lower dollar subs in a wall too.

Just keep browsing the forums too, i see crazy deal pop up all the time with 2 15s or 18s for wayyy below BNIB price. Check with Terra/Cascade Designs and see if they might have sum b-stock Omegas or maybe they might cut you a deal for repping them up in Canada.

Well Ive got 4 15's right now so type r's arent really in the picture, want something higher power. Never heard of Cascade Designs, I'll see what they got. Im trying to keep this on a 38 X 32" front baffle though, my suvs pretty tiny

Cascade makes the Omega woofers, its run by a member of this forum Terra(alex i think is his real name). A guy on this forum(can't remember his SN) has 2 18s in a Saturn off a SS XXX-10000D. The Omegas can handle anywhere from 1500w - around 3500w+ daily from what i've seen.

only cuz my subsonic was set at 15 htz :/ user error not build error //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
12"s- $349 Shipped

15"s- $389 Shipped

18"s- $419 Shipped

these are the prices of the omegas right now... they are based in the north west us... not sure how much for it would cost for shipping across the border but it might be worth it.

great woofers i ran them off of 1 sundown 3k a piece.

 
Well Ive only got -4000rms to play with atm, and dont wanna build a system with woofer that wont move off that power, as I most likely wont have the cash to upgrade my amp anytime soon. Im almost at the perfect power level for the HDC318's for a daily pounder as it is but was hoping something else different might fit the bill.

Im waiting for a price quote on the DP 21"

And looking more into Mach5, which is canadian based, but I dont know what they have that could match the spl output and daily reliability and sq that the hdc3's would have

 
The DP will be able to handle that power daily as long as the gains aren't too crazy and volume knob isn't always full tilt. I knob Robin runs 2 IA 20.1s per 18" DP daily with no issues and he gained a decent amount by switching to DPs from LVL5s.
