sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 3995 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 02:21 GMT well I asked if anyone knew what the re sq was like cuz i want to do an sq setup preferably with an 8 or 10 inch to get the low end but not take up alot of room but ive also heard the atlas from ascendant audio is good for sq as well but how does each of these brands compare ...re image dynamics the atlas and morel

sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 3999 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 02:30 GMT what do the atlas subs run now a days for like a 10 if they make them that small
Dustin Pettit Silver Member Username: Cenus Hicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 894 Registered: Jan-05	Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 02:36 GMT well AA stoped making the atlas so the only way you can get them is to find some1 on ebay selling them, and the smallest they made them was 12inch. you could look into AA new subs im sure they have good sq and the lowest model i think only needs 200watts.

Chad Lee Gold Member Username: Bestmankind Los Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 1576 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 04:15 GMT okay how about the alpine type s. the type rs sound pretty good so i would assume the type s would sound nice too.
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 4002 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 04:16 GMT im considering getting an image dynamics id8 eight inch v3 at the moment
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 4003 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 04:18 GMT id assume the imagrdynamics 8 would be better than a re 8 entry level any opinions?
Jonathan Gold Member Username: Jonathan_f GA USA Post Number: 5220 Registered: May-04	Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 04:20 GMT I'd go Image Dynamics out of the choices. Best SQ of the bunch. REs are good for the money, but SQ on them isn't the best.

James Longo Gold Member Username: James1115 Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4476 Registered: Dec-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 02:32 GMT you will be very happy with that sub especially for that price
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 4033 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 02:40 GMT thats what jonathan said......im gonna put it in a 1.3 sealed net like he recommended
James Longo Gold Member Username: James1115 Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4479 Registered: Dec-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 02:45 GMT they are fantastic I preffer the sealed route also! it's the only way to get the true depth of those subs unless you can tune it down to 20hz lol!
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 4034 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 02:47 GMT thats where i want it to shine really low 20 hz
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 4035 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 02:49 GMT he said for 20 hz id want sealed do you agree or should I do ported to control the sub down that low to protect excursion ...plus im only gonna use 140 rms on it if i can get away with it but I have other amps
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 4036 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 02:53 GMT i can make the 20 hz port fit dont worry lol if you suggest the ported
Dustin Pettit Silver Member Username: Cenus Hicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 916 Registered: Jan-05	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 02:57 GMT sean are you going to use the id for car or home audio.
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 4037 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 02:59 GMT car
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 4038 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 02:59 GMT car why do you ask.....do you have ideas for in home?
Dustin Pettit Silver Member Username: Cenus Hicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 917 Registered: Jan-05	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 03:05 GMT i was just wondering, i figured that sub would work good in either application, and i would port that bad boy espically if it does 119db at 10hz damn i wonder how loud it would be at 20hz.
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 4040 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 03:12 GMT that was the 10 inch version that did 119 db i got the 12 and I believe the 12 is 3db more sensitive at 1w 1m
Jonathan Gold Member Username: Jonathan_f GA USA Post Number: 5232 Registered: May-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 03:14 GMT You could port it, but with the 10hz reference I thought that was what you were going after. I wouldn't go lower than 25hz, personally. 25-28 will be plenty deep, the cabin gain will still give you good performance down to 20hz. Too much lower than 25 will have you approaching the subs Fs.
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 4041 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 03:17 GMT well what the heck ill stick with sealed I gotta feel what the ultra low bass feels like
Jonathan Gold Member Username: Jonathan_f GA USA Post Number: 5233 Registered: May-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 03:31 GMT Not like you can't go ported if you aren't satisfied.
James Longo Gold Member Username: James1115 Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4484 Registered: Dec-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 03:58 GMT I would go sealed as well and lIke Jon said you could always go ported with a nice low tune if you are not satisfied
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 4042 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 04:50 GMT ok you guys got a point ..thanks
Alexis LUCE New member Username: Torog Martinique Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-05	Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 23:29 GMT Hi, I need the same thing but with some puch too. And I can't explain what I want because I'm not from here and don't have a lot of experience in car audio so I can't explain it in term of decibels. I was considering image dynamics, JL 12W0 (or 8w3),cerwin-vega vmax 10", Mb quart R..E? 12", orion,Infinity... And what size is the best in your opinion?
