Which Subs Should I Run With a MTX 81000d Amp?

[b1utigg3r2 10+ year member]

It's been a long while since I've been on this website getting advice on my system... Recently I've purchased a newer headunit, a Alpine CDA 7894 to replace the non-mp3 model Alpine CDA-7893... I sent my MTX 8000 12"s back about two months ago, and haven't received them yet... I'm trying to purchase new subwoofers to run them on my MTX 81000d amplifier. The amp performed soo well for me that the subs were completely destroyed... Can someone lead me on to a more respectable, adn yet powerful pair of subs that'll work great for SPL? Thanks~! My price range for a pair is no more than $500...

Try a pair of the Hollywood Excursion 1280d's or a pair of their Triple Threats, you can get a set from Razorback Car Audio, call 501-562-8533, ask for Brad and he'll hook you up. Tell him Rick sent you.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

If you want to be really loud and don't mind being unoriginal, you can go with two kicker l7. Either 12 or 15, whichever your preference. If you're more of an SQ guy, think about maybe a single w7...

1. hollywoods are good where your amp is short on power...with the MTX you have around 1700RMS on tap.......so ìforget HSL for this application

2. the list is more or less endless as there are so many good products around that people could recommend, all way under $500 a piece, but here a few suggestions

sHoCkEr

DD 3515

ED (check at http://www.edesignaudio.com if theyre still onspecial and teat yourself to 2 15s if they still are !!!)

Brahma - good SQ too

RE, especially the XXX

Treo

theres just a few names for you.im sure somebodys gonna suggest something else, but for pure SPL, id say sHoCkEr, SQ SPL mix - Brahma, and for the money, cant beat EDs special offer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I can clearly see that you don't know jack sh*t about the Hollywood drivers, because if you did you would know that they are not designed for only low powered amps. If you've heard their flagship drivers in the proper enclosure and power then you would know that they are design to play very loud and deep in a small box. As far as power is concerned we a running in excess of 1100w rms per 10 inch driver on a regular basis without problems or failure of the driver. It's fine to be loyal to a brand but don't shut your mind or try mold someone else's to your way of thinking just because you are not mature enough except that a less than how dollar speaker or name brand can compete with all the overprice and over rated bullsh#t out there.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nono.gif.eca61d170185779e0921b0faa9704973.gif :nono:

im getting tired of your crap, but if you look carefully, he guy

a) wants a nice SQ sound

b) there is better **** than HSL - if theyre soooooo **** hot, why aint soooo many people using them, like DD or sHoCkEr for example?

c) there are subs out there, ike the HSL, thatca compete up to a certain point with the big boys - like I said, have a buddy doing with 2 subs, 2 sHoCkErs, what you quote being done with like 8............

quite franly, im tired f yor cra and will n enter into any more correspondance...........

1) No I am not a dealer, just the same as you and everyone else on this forum seems to believe in and support your favorite subs ie... Re, adire, and others, I too have a favorite that just so happens to preform pretty **** good.

2) I'm not trying to push HSL down anyone's throats, but again when ever someone ask about subs on this forum, brahma, xxx, and shiva's get pushed on them like these are GOD's gift to the subwoofer world, you are giving your opinion on a sub you like that has proven itself to you are you not, well I'm doing nothing less!

3) I didn't respond earlier because I do have a finance department to run here at work

4) As far as you being fed up with me, who cares! You'll either get over it or you want, either way I don't care, I'm not looking for enemies but if you want to become one then get in line and take a number! It's supposed to be fun but some people take this stuff way to serious.

Oh and to stop you crying, Ill say this to make it fair and make yu happy, so wipe he tears..........

HSL Is a very good driver for the money, it hits hard, low ad works in small enclosures. Its underrated, bu is also quite efficiet and will do a good job with little power...............one problem.........................................a handful of other subs, at a similar spec and price rage can do just that and not break into a sweat.......//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

As far as authority goes I have the AUTHORITY and RIGHT, to say whatever I choose so long as It's my veiw and opinion. 10yrs. as an officer in the military gives me that right, being born in this country and loving it gives me that right!

What you view as being cool and not cool is irrelevent!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
