New member Username: Infinity2006Cleveland, Ohio Post Number: 2 Registered: Jun-06 | im looking for SPL but i dont want them to sound like crap. No competition just everyday driving. Budget is $150 - $200 per sub unless its a kick *** deal and maybe ill splurge. a guy was going to sell me 2 JL 12W6V2'S for $350 but i dont want to drive 2 hrs to get them . |

New member Username: Infinity2006Cleveland, Ohio Post Number: 3 Registered: Jun-06 | Hey blaine have you ever used american bass? I had a budget of $350 for an amp and figured i would try the VFL 1000.1 amp. They call it a "cheater" amp which is a term im new too. |

Silver Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 356 Registered: Jun-04 | andy f are u serious bro ...how can u say a Type R,CVX and CVR have no quality and just get loud? have u heard these woofers ... i know for sure u havent heard ne thing from Digital Designs ... i can almost guarntee it ... number 2 .. and number two .. the woofers that u did tell him bout were a type x alpine and a TI .. number one a type x is a sq woofer just cuz its RMS rating is more then a Type R doesnt mean itll have spl .. if he goes alpine a type r is the way to go in that route ... number two .. to optimally push a ti .. hell need at least a 1000 watts .. due to each coil possessing a 750 rms rating ... if u want a good sounding setup that isnt going to break the bank so much ... look into the cvrs,cvx, like they were stated .. but also look into the Ascendant Audio Arsenals .. great mix of sq and spl... which retail from 150-250 ... depending on size ... also think about how many woofers u want .. in some cases u can have 1 woofer and be compltely satisfied ... other subs to look into American Bass XO 15 ... sub is 185 dollars .. and with the right power and enclosure will hit high 140s .. ive seen it done Elevation Audio SQX woofers ... alittle more then 200 but still do the trick .. very good sql woofer lok into diamond audio .. there woofers sell fairly cheap on ebay ... they are good quality drivers Image Dynamics woofers are also a good choice ... look into there ID series ... also id pick up the w6v2s for 350 if u can .. thats a great deal bro those subs are amazing ... with the right enclosure and power u can have a great sql setup as far as the American bass they have very good products ... if i recall they won the DB Drag competition hitting upwards of 170 dbs with there products |

New member Username: Infinity2006Cleveland, Ohio Post Number: 4 Registered: Jun-06 | i forgot to mention i have a Slot ported box for 2 12's. the dimensions of the box are H 13 X W 18 X L 35 Externally im not sure what the air space is, the 12's are not seperated by a wall on the inside. |

Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 5986 Registered: Dec-04 | thats about 3.65 after displacement so about1.75 per sub, you need to know port length to find out the tune of the box. Also Andy F don't post unless you have something worth reading to say! All your post shows us is that you have absolutely no knowledge of the topic at hand. Try reading a little more before opening your mouith and shooting out CR@P! |

New member Username: BenzinoMichigan US Post Number: 7 Registered: Jun-06 | I like alpine type r's.....there cheap and they have great sq and spl..... |

New member Username: Infinity2006Cleveland, Ohio Post Number: 5 Registered: Jun-06 | i am starting to see it no other way. For $140 to my door ebay money i can get 12" TYPE R'S. After listening to a fer comparable subs the type R'S have been my favorite. JL's seem to be nice but they are expensive and need a lot of power it seems. |

Gold Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 1009 Registered: Jan-06 | Kicker blows, doesn't matter which sub you get their SQ is crap. I would look into the Soundsplinter subs, Dayton audio, ID or AA. I prefer Soundsplinter of the three but Dayton and AA are good for the money. Alpine TR's are good for the money and the proper enclosure will make them sound good. |

Silver Member Username: TheweaselSteamboat springs, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 462 Registered: Mar-06 | did you say that you could get 2 jl 12w2v2 subs for 350!? that is one h3ll of a deal if you can get those. those things retail at like 350 a piece. if nothing else, buy them and sell them on ebay and get some more mula. |

Silver Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 363 Registered: Jun-04 | i said this before that guy is an idiot ... and i agree with alteraudio about his selections in woofers .. they were just out his price range for the most part ... and the JLw6v2 deal is a very good one .. i would hop all over that if it was offered to me depending on condition of woofer |

New member Username: Infinity2006Cleveland, Ohio Post Number: 6 Registered: Jun-06 | i passed on the jl's - he said one bottomed out when over powered and when i went to call and pick them up he said the bottom jl logo plate was coming off ( its only held by epoxy) but that just gave me a weird vibe. Still looking ;) |
