whos hittin part 2

[seanbon23]

ok so thanks for all the info and opinions,mixed answers but oh well.i started a new thread because my old one was getting pretty long.anyway to me the new RFT2s are sexy and im getting them at about $470 a piece instead of the $700 there asking. i plan on buying 4 of them and then two 3000 watt orion amps to go with them. not strong enough to push the subs to their potential but im not trying for 145dbs or anything higher,just looking for some good bass for me to listen to my music. 2gauge wire in and then 4 gauge out. i recently went to a car audio show and i agree with some of you,ther were alot more unerground companies then mainstream, and alot of kicker L7s that i despise. but the message was clear,and the guy that was hittin 158.6 wasnt pushin RF or kicker,so maybe i just like namebrands? anyways sorry so long

So everyone in the other thread told you not to even consider new Rockford, yet you go for them anyways? Why in the world did you make the thread in the first place???

I would rather rip all the hairs out of my scrotum than pay $470 for a Rockford T2. For one, they sound like poopoo and are only average at best at everything else. Secondly, they have more plastic than they have motor force. And to top things off, there are maybe a hundred other subs that will easily outperform the T2's for much less.

I'm going to make this easy for you...https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154d53249a0eab5/shopdata/0050_Speakers/0020_BL/product_overview.shopscript

For the options...get the hyper pole, cooling, flatwind, Daily, choose your favorite dust cap color and whatever ohms you want the coils to be, and go for the 4" coil if you want the most RMS power handling (although I doubt that will be necessary for you). Without the 4" coil, your subtotal will be $300 before shipping. With the coil, it will be $350. These subs will tear the T2's apart in output and sound quality, as well as reliability, power handling, etc. Whether you like the looks more or not is your own personal opinion, but I think the BL's are better looking myself (less flashy).

I may have to throw your wiring into question. Running 5000+ watts would definitely warrant 0 gauge.

No sir, most were using L5s or L7s

 

[seanbon23]

Yah most people at the competion I went to were using FIs, kicker L7s and DD and memhis and pyles. As far as a better price someone wants to sell me 4 T3 t1000s. But I haven't heard a lot about T3 so I'm not sold on them. Are they good?
