Trying to look for the better sq sub on a budget

[John Doe]

Unfortunately they don't ship to hawaii

I feel you bradda lol we just got to bite the bullet for all of our car **** especially when it comes to subs! A lot of these guys recommended the Dayton HO or Adire Brahma but I see your budget is $200.

Whats the better bet for sq subwoofer?
Budget 200$
Size 10" but prefer an 8"
Toyota frs
I was looking into sundown 8"
Or skar
Or even jl but idk if anhthing lower than a w7 is good like the w3 is worth the buy etc
Or any other brands out there that fits the bill if you can help

If you want one that can take some power, then, take a look at this one. 1,000 watts rms. $175 on Amazon

$120 subwoofer. $60 shipping.

That is under your budget.....

Imma go out on a limb and say an alpine type R, surely hawaii has that. Its pretty much middle of the road for sq and spl in its class an all rounder sub that's not enclosure picky.

I think the weak link here is going to be the Hawaii part. Everything there is extra expensive because it's an island that's way far away from the rest of the country.

Nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. I can't imagine he's getting wood and other box building supplies for cheap either.

I have an Eclipse SW8000 LMS 10inch LNIB for $200 plus shipping....nothing gets down like an LMS subwoofer. Very clean, very low extension.

You should also consider the Alpine Type S, underhung, inexpensive, good output.

My friend I've got a solution for you. I have a JL Audio 10W7ae with your name on it. Reduced to $450.00

SQ and kicker don’t belong together in my opinion. Get the Dayton HO 10. Not very deep and requires tiny boxes.

Not sure why. If the system is tuned properly with the appropriate wattage for the listeners preference then there's no reason Kicker gear would be out of the question. 8" Solobaric in a small sealed enclosure would certainly work well in an SQ situation.

If you’re talking real SQ then no, Kicker does not belong. Not knocking their products, they just aren’t built for SQ

Kicker sucks donkey dicks for SQ....

Sounds like you might need to make a trip to the continental US and bring a woofer back in your luggage!

I just paid $65 shipped for a Boston Acoustic G2 12 on ebay. Brand new too. If you know what to look for its out there.

Sound Quality is a relative term. What do you consider sound quality? Also, what amp? The sound quality doesn't just come from the sub.

My definition of sq is feeling like your at a pink floyd concert in 1976 when you're listening to dark side of the moon in your car as you're trying to get your helmet mouth massaged by a 2 bit whore @Bobbytwonames

its inherently not balanced for SQ from the TS specs from the start. Even with optimal install and ideal enclosure/loading applications, group delay and overall bandwidth/tonality is going to be far below an actual SQ sub in a mediocre install is the difference. Kicker is a daily ground pounder that appeals to average joes. However it will get stomped in SQ lanes.
