They have good prices and are very eye catching, but of course the most important is the sound. I have never heard them and was wondering if they are a good buy. |

This site has some very good deals. I don't really want to spend much over $250 per sub. I am also looking at Alpine's Type X subs at $250 on Pro Car Sound.com. As for spl, sq, and sql. I want a system that sounds very nice and can be heard down the block. Something in the middle of all these to create a nice balance. Sound quality and noise level are equally important. Hopefully that might answer your question. Thanks for your help. |

Silver Member Username: Mike_anthesCanton, SD USA Post Number: 168 Registered: Aug-04 | hey if yur lookin for sql(which is about 50 50 on the sq and spl)...i would look into resonant engineering...adire audio...eclipse alluminum...all three companies have subs that are WAY better than the audiobahns... resonant engineering- ww.reaudio.com adire audio- www.adireaudio.com eclipse- www.eclipse-web.com heres some suggestions...for resonant i would look at the se(overall good starter sub...without starter sub sounds...lol) or the sx(the sx does lack a bit in sq but has good spl) as for adire audio...if ya have the space...look at a pair of tempests(150.00 a piece/older models)...or some shivas(125.00 a piece/older models) and for eclipse look at the alluminum series or if ya want to go all out eclipse titanium would do ya fine...good luck...and tell us what yur thinkin bout... |
Bronze Member Username: CklukasCoeur d'Alene, ID USA Post Number: 14 Registered: Jul-05 | Thanks, I looked at the three. I am looking for a more mainstream brand that I know a little about. The Eclipse titanium's seem very nice. I am looking into these more. What about Alpine's Type X subs? Are they a good sql sub? |
Silver Member Username: Mike_anthesCanton, SD USA Post Number: 170 Registered: Aug-04 | well i don't know a lot about the type x's but if yur worried about the quality of the adire and re...you totally shouldn't be...adires brahma line compares with jl audio w7 line and so does re xxx(acutally a lot of people hold them higher than that)...both are amazing subs...but the eclipse titaniums are some amazing subs for the money...if it was between the titaniums and the type x's i would go with the eclipse titaniums im assumin you would get 4 of the 10's or 12's man...4 12's would really slam...make sure u got the electrical system to back this up though otherwise yur alternator will fry...goodluck... |
