Who Here Has Used The Older PBX Subs?

[revrider1 5,000+ posts]

Just curious who all here has had experience with them? Im talking about the 04' line of Powerbass Xtremes, the all black ones. I had 1 12" and it was amazing, SPL crazy. Im looking into 2 15" for a future setup, possibly using them over a 18" BTL. Just wanted some input on them from people who have used them...THANKS

Ive used two twelves like those, absolutely amazing for the price i paid. I also like the blue cones evolution sq subs, very loud deep bass, on low wattage.

never tried those, but I hear they are good for the price and low wattage. What are your opinions on 2 15" PBX over the 18" BTL?

I have used the entry level ones....I was picking them up for $37 shipped and was doing shit like this with them...

146.7 off of 1 crossfire 1000D.

The evolutions are nice woofers.....I had one but gave it to my little brother....

I have 2 PBXtremes now sitting in my garage. Great subs dollar for dollar but many people talk badly about them. It cause they never had one. They sound great and get stupid loud for what they are. The price has gone up alot on the newer ones though. The funny thing is that I have alot better woofers laying around like a DD9912 and IA DP 12's a Mach 5 SPL and I always end up having a PBXtreme around. It's ben like that for the last 3 to 4 years LOL.

Im talking about these...

Not the evolutions..

Now for those who have used these, you think 2 15" will be louder than an 18" BTL? Curious on other opinions...

Those are what Im talking about. How much power you have to play with?

myself and foreman have both had an older PBX xs12 d2 and it was the BEST sounding subwoofer i have ever heard. it was in chris' car (foreman) in his old accord and it was the cleanest most transparent subwoofer ive ever heard. ive been looking for one for almost 3 years with no luck

IMO they hold up fine iv burped 1 off a Crossfire 2000D before took it fine . When I had 1 in my trunk I pushed it with 1200watts daily for over a year. Ask foreman+ he will tell u bout them. He heard mine several times

I have 2500watts to play with for the pair, I know they are rated at 1000w but handle more. I had 1200w on my 12" when I had it...

Wahat do you mean the chrome ones burn up?

I found 2 15" i might get and get rid my 18" BTL. Thats why im askin if these 2 15" will be louder than the 18" BTL. IMO they will be just judging from the single 12" I had.

On a AC 190 out the trunk of my girls caviler coupe with a crossfire 2000D 1 did a 148.6 for a burp. IMO i would think they would be louder than a BTL and thell take 1200 all day long no problems

How loud is your BTL?
