hondarider Unregistered guest | i will be buying 2 12 inch subs will there be a noticeable difference in sound from a cheaper sub like sony versus an alpine if they both have the same amount of rms watts? |

Silver Member Username: Infinity_addictSanta Rosa, California USA Post Number: 105 Registered: Jul-05 | very much so. we're talking about subwoofer efficiency and it's ability to accurately reproduce the original recording. The bulk of coloration in a system comes from the drivers themselves. higher quality=better sound. |

hondarider Unregistered guest | then ill have to buy a 500 watts rms x2 amp wont i? |
Silver Member Username: Big_osoPost Number: 431 Registered: Jun-05 | You can buy a decent 1000 watt rms amp for around 250-300 that will run the type rs nicely. Look at hifonics, directed, interfire theres just to many possibilities to list. |
