I know I'm a bit late, but how much are you looking to spend? SQ, or SPL the focus?

12w6v2 or a treo tsx.

those orions look like a pretty good budget woofer....you can pic up a eDesign 13kv.2 for 125 shipped from http://www.elementaldesigns.com mainly a SQ sub, but i've heard they can get decently loud mine will arrive shortly hopefully

What voice coil configuration do the hx2's have?

I like the L7 I'm running 500rms to it and it sounds good.

12w6v2 .

I'd like to get that, but I need D2 it only comes in D4.

Oh and a price range will be like $300. Im really considering spending a little more and getting the Brahma 12.

the orion is a good sub.. I have a Boston acoustics sub and I love it.. I would try the boston G512-4 or G512-44 depending on which voice coil setup you want.. it also depends on what type of enclosure you're gonna use..

if you don't want to spend the extra $100--I'd go orion..

I'd say a SI mag or Brahma.

What car, box, and sound (SQ, SQL, SPL)?

 

[93 saturn sl2 10+ year member]

Car is a Saturn, box ported, and probably spl.

Dont spend too much now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Build your own and save the $250 that TCAB will charge you. Add that to get something else.

$10 for plans from someone and $30 for the wood and glue...

ya, many people on this forum will make plans for you for $5-$10 save the money and buy some front stage speakers perhaps? and btw i was planning on buying a SI Mag and was going to run it off only 500watts TireFryr on this forum works for them and this is what he sent me

"Well, it really will all depen on your musical tastes and the application of the product. I was running the newest MAG in my truck in 1 cubic foot sealed with only 250 watts and it was loud enough within the small confines of the truck to provide headache type levels. I take it you will be running your in the trunk, and are throwing more power to it, so a larger sealed enclosure will be a good all-around enclosure, about 1.3-1.75 cubes. Venting will get you some increased output, but only in a certain frequency range.

Very rarely do I really even use my sub. I set my car up for a strong midbass and I will generally let that handle everything as low as it will go. If I need to cover the bottom octaves or just want to crank it up, I will turn the sub system on and go from there.

If you're looking for a good daily driving enclosure, I'd suggest a vented enclosure anywhere from 2-2.5 cubes with about 30sq.inches of vent area and tune it between 28-33Hz.

It's an extremely versatile driver and will pretty much do whatever you need it to do.

the reason i didnt buy it, i got in an accident and f*cked my car up, so the system will have to wait a while.
