Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2785 Registered: Mar-06 | My girlfriend wants a little bass in her car. Right now she has type r 6.5s off of a kx200.2 (my old front stage) ready to put in. Now we are looking into the rest. She wants to spend no more than a grand. I was looking at a CDA-9887, a SD 2.5 15" and a zx750.1. Anyone have any other suggestions. Im pretty set on the HU and I can get that for 270 shipped so looking no more than 600 for sub and amp. Ill be building the box and installing everything. Thanks |

RE SE  .. those things wang and sound great.. perfect sub for daily amp don't really matter as long as it puts out a clean 600rms heck i'd sell you my nine.1 for $220 shipped leaving you $360 for sub(s) and 1200+rms @ 1 ohm :P .. actually idk if i want to sell it lol but heh |

Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2786 Registered: Mar-06 | she mainly listes to rap and wants SQL, if that helps any. Im kinda paartial to kicker amps honestly, but not dead set but with subs Im willing to try anything... And with the HU is anyone knows where I ca get a 9835 for under 350, Id be all over it but I've only foud one and that was 450. I loved mine soooo much. Thanks guys |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinTeam DLSSuperNatural... Post Number: 5478 Registered: Nov-05 | the 9887 is awesome.. i love it.. just takes a while to get used to the settings if you could hear an SE in person you'd be set i can't compare to the 2.5 since ive only heard hd3s.. but the ses are great sql.. they really bang for 600rms |
|
Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2787 Registered: Mar-06 | can anyone say if the 2.5 is better or worse than the SE in SQL or if there is something better than either for the price? Looking for a 15". Like I said Im open on subs and amp to anything, just partial to kicker on the amps (even though Im running RD, haha) |

Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2788 Registered: Mar-06 | ttt Anyone heard both? |

Gold Member Username: Philly306Laziness and ignorance... Post Number: 1287 Registered: Apr-07 | i haven't heard both but another thing you might want to consider is space. Im sure you already know but a box for a sd,25 15" won't be small. ~4cubes ported. Now with the se you would have the option to go sealed giving you a smaller enclosure. just something to think about. |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 10429 Registered: Jun-04 | Nah. I think DJ told me 3.30 cubic feet ported is the smallest recommended. I designed a box for one 2.5 15 3.59 gross and about 3.10 cubic feet net after the sub and port and the guy liked how it sounded. |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 149.5 DBsTrinidad & T... Post Number: 14143 Registered: Jul-05 | wow thats alof of bass for ur GF - usually most girls r satisfied with something moderate like a 1 12 type R 1 RE SX 12" is PLENTY maybe too much too of bass for a female ... |
|
Gold Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 1026 Registered: Oct-07 | I think they were talking about the SE. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 149.5 DBsTrinidad & T... Post Number: 14146 Registered: Jul-05 | i know - even a 12 or 15 SE would be awesome too ... |
|
Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 10431 Registered: Jun-04 | Andrew if Phil is right and you do decide to go with audioque. A sdc 12 would be a better choice to keep the box size down and shouldnt be that much less output than the 15. |

Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2793 Registered: Mar-06 | im working on getting a 12" 2.5 now... And Im watching that 9835 really hard.. |
|
Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2794 Registered: Mar-06 | Ok, I ended up deciding to give her my 12" arsenal. no use letting it sit around. My last question is, is there a better amp than the zx750.1 for that sub, for under or right around 200? |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1200 Registered: Aug-07 | zx750.1 is a solid amp and underrated as you probably already know. the only way i can think of getting a better amp would be to get something used, and even used i am willing to bet it will be more than 200 |

Gold Member Username: BernymacCambodia Post Number: 4241 Registered: Sep-04 | Those zx750.1's like Abarca said are really solid. I was surprised by the amount of power it provided to a fi ssd 12" in a sealed enclosure. |

Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1100 Registered: Nov-07 | i have an Eclipse DA7122 that will do 1000 rms into 2 ohms - its an older amp ill sell it for $125 shipped if interested https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/for-sale/511551.html |
|
Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1102 Registered: Nov-07 | i can even send it to you to let you try it out first if you wanted to keep it - you could send me the $125 via paypal if you dont like it - you can send it back |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1987 Registered: May-07 | If you decide against using the AA, look into a Diamond D6. They can be had for cheap off ebay, just gotta wait till they pop up. I had a zx750.1 on mine, and it was probably my favorite setup I've had so far. They work well in about 3.0-3.25cf as well. |

Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2796 Registered: Mar-06 | I won the 9835, with iPod cable, off ebay for 265 shipped so Im psyched about that. Only thing left to buy is an amp Im petty set on the kicker just because I've used a lot of kickers and the only problem I had was my fault. Im going to use the arsenal. No use buying another suub when Im letting the AA sit in my basement and collect dust. How would you all suggest building a box for a trunk car? Sub/port back, sub up/port back....? Thanks guys. |
|
Gold Member Username: BernymacCambodia Post Number: 4247 Registered: Sep-04 | sub and port back. port on driver side. |
|
Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 10468 Registered: Jun-04 | Daniel Im interested in the eclipse amp for 125 shipped if Andrew is not. |
|
Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1106 Registered: Nov-07 | sure thing sean do you want to check it out first like i said capps could do? |
|
Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 10476 Registered: Jun-04 | Sure. Is there something wrong with it that I should be aware of? If your ok with that and the amp cosmetically is as shown in the pictures and nothing more consider it sold. |
|
Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 10477 Registered: Jun-04 | Im going to have to change my mind Daniel. I have other things that should take priority. On a side note if the amp was in good working order and in good cosmetic shape as shown I was going to give you more for the amp. I think you should ask more than 125 shipped for it if it is in good shape. |
|
Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1108 Registered: Nov-07 | i was originally asking $200 and it is in good shape with exception of a few scratches - i just want it gone so i can fund my new setup nothing is wrong with it - i was going to let E regulars try it prior to buying because no one here (that i know of) runs these amps and i never read anyone suggesting eclipse amps either |
|
Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2797 Registered: Mar-06 | eh. I guess Ill pick up your eclipse. She doesn't quite have the money but she should have it by Friday. If not, by monday for sure. |
