Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 10043 Registered: Dec-03 | 700 watt RMS amp? $300 to spend? one RE SX15. go ported box with it, tuned to about 25Hz. you'll be smiling from here to the SPL meter. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 14 Registered: Sep-05 | would that hit hard tho? im looking for of a SQ than spl but if u say i be smiling.. i will buy it where can i get it.. cant find it on ebay |
|
Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 475 Registered: Jul-05 | A 1 sub option , this http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2534 u really cannot get 2 15s with much power in that price range - 2 very nice 12s but 15s u can get a single good 1 . I'll keep searching for ya ... |
|
Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 10045 Registered: Dec-03 | The SX is a mix of SPL and SQ, leaning more toward the SPL side.. but it's still a clean accurate sub.. just very efficient, and handles up to 1500 watts RMS.. trust me it gets very loud in a good box. the fifteen retails for $269 plus shipping to your locale, and you order directly from www.reaudio.com you can go there to read up on the SX series subs first if you like. See what you think. The SE line isn't quite as loud, but they are less expensive as well, as another option. Personally I use two of their XXX 12" subs in my own car. |

Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 476 Registered: Jul-05 | RE = REASONANT ENGINEERING . U would have to go check their website cause i think they only sell it directly . |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 15 Registered: Sep-05 | it wont matter to me.. as long as i can get at least twice as better than my rockfords.. like i want hard hitting.. im not a fan of rockfords.. had those 301s 900 watts amp... 300 rms my @$$. sounded bad and i had a hard time fitting 8 gauge.. let alone 4 gauge.. i sold that amp. got 4 gauge.. and gott this amp  hey rovin thanks alot man. i owe you one NOTE: 300 Cdn |

Silver Member Username: Subzer0Richmond, KY USA Post Number: 788 Registered: May-05 | i'm selling my 12" SX on ebay :P brand new.. have been for a while just search for user justinwagers on there or look up resonant engineering on the search. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 16 Registered: Sep-05 | one 12 would be too small for my trunk wouldnt it ? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 17 Registered: Sep-05 | what do u think about 15'' onyx monster someone is selling me one, he says its a custom bult sub |
|
Silver Member Username: Subzer0Richmond, KY USA Post Number: 789 Registered: May-05 | .. depends on what you mean.. as glass said they really pound. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 18 Registered: Sep-05 | i know they pound hard.. awsome sub.. im just a lil confused.. i got a big trunk.. wouldnt one 12 be small? i know if it was a civic or something.. that thing would pound but in a crown vic |
|
Silver Member Username: Subzer0Richmond, KY USA Post Number: 791 Registered: May-05 | I went from 2 15s to 2 10s to one 12 in my hatchback 2002 celica gt. I like the 12s because it's just the right size to hit the tight bass notes like a 10 but have the spl like a 15 if you make a good box for it. I'd say with a ported box it'd do fine but if you're deadset of 15s for cheap and you want ultra loud, get those SE audiobahns I talked about on ebay for 136.00 a pair. they say 500 rms/1000 max but my friend has had 1500 going to each of his for 4 months now without a problem. get 4 of them while you're at it.. still under 300 dollars. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 19 Registered: Sep-05 | how much u think i will hit with 4 of them? |
|
Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 481 Registered: Jul-05 | Well 1 was 1st to mention RE as an option & Glass chose the SX 1000wrms model for your application . Your old gig had only 400wrms so now that should make ya happy . If it was me i'd save some $ & later on buy another SX & 2 better brands of amps 1 amp/sub . Ok so u o us each 150 -   |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 20 Registered: Sep-05 | lol 150 rupees? SURE!! anyone selling a used SX15? there must be different subs that are close to an sx and sell less.. one 15 kicker 2000 watts? |

Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 22 Registered: Sep-05 | k its 1 am.. i been thinking lots.. since my car is setup mainly for hydros.. i need room and i dont like heavy stuff in my trunk.. yo justin.. i want your sub.. can we work it out.. lol u already have it on ebay. give me deal man! |
|
Bronze Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 56 Registered: Jul-05 | How much is 300 cdn in America, like about 220 thats a really tight budget. I would save and get 2 12' XXX's |
|
New member Username: Robert_dMIA, FL USA Post Number: 10 Registered: Sep-05 | well also why ur friend in his integra was loud because its a hatch back and u share the same air or however u explain it with the subs and the car is alot alot alot smaller for instance in the integra theres no seat infront of the trunk to block the subs if u want sq get the SE from reaudio.com but from what i hear im gettin the SX 15" |
|
Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 483 Registered: Jul-05 | Kuta : that sub is NOT Sounstream as they have written ,an SPLX SS is 1000wrms http://www.soundstream.com/sub/products_subs_SPLX.html That sub look like it came from a company called SPL which BTW i remember reading somewhere is associated with Power Acoustik who also makes Kole audio & SS is also manufactured by the same PA company . Notice how cheap all these brands sell - more beginner stuff . U had RFs before so don't drop below that level - go with the RE SE or even SX but u will a new amp . Another 150 rupees u o me ! - lol  |
|
Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 10059 Registered: Dec-03 | save for two XXX subs.. heh be realistic. he has a budget of ~$200 a XXX 12" sub is almost $500, and he'd need about 1500 watts RMS per sub to drive them. not to mention shipping. They weigh 60lbs each |
|
Silver Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 969 Registered: Mar-04 | if your budget is $300 CND...then i would say 1 RE SE 15", but only because the SX is a little our of your price range. If you are willing to save up a lil more, then go for an SX15. i ran mine on 150wrms, yea 150wrms thats not a type-o, for bout 2 months when i first got it. it was very loud for only 150wrms. with 700wrms, it should be really nice. i have my SX15 running on about 1400wrms now...and all i can say is DAM_N. RE SX line is amazing...give a the 15" about 3.5-4.5 cu ft and tune low. you will love it if you build the box right. i wouldnt go w/ those audiobahns though...they are made very cheaply. just this past weekend, a friend of mine that has 2 audiobahn 15's (about the same line as the A-bahn mentioned above) and an memphis 1000d, he thought his stuff was great. then he got in my truck to hear my 1 SX15 on a JBL bp1200.1. after one song he only had one thing to say about how loud my SX was: "man, thats just ridiculous." all i did was smile |
|
Silver Member Username: Subzer0Richmond, KY USA Post Number: 792 Registered: May-05 | offer on the sx it's at 200 right now. with less than a day to go I think. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 23 Registered: Sep-05 | ok i bought a 15'' onyx monster with a box, tuned to 32 hz guy said i could wire it to .25,1,2,4 ohms. but imma wire it to 2 ohms at 700 rms anyone has details about this sub.. heard only 12 of these were made :S |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 3914 Registered: Dec-04 | I am interested as to how you can wire it to so many VC configurations what is it a quad coil? I would go with Marshall and Glass and go RE but if you already bought it then you have no option. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 24 Registered: Sep-05 | im picking it up either 2morrow or day after i dunno nothing about the cv configurations.. thats what the guy said.. it pounds hard.. and looks nastty.. MEAN NASty its whole it pounds like 6 inches |
|
Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 503 Registered: Jul-05 | U bought something u don't even know about ? - U a gambling man - lol |
|
Silver Member Username: Subzer0Richmond, KY USA Post Number: 808 Registered: May-05 | amen to that Rovin lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 26 Registered: Sep-05 | lol i know, i gamble to much, it looks mean tho and it sounds good, and i did some research on this site about it, most ppl say its loud and rare but not loud as the RE |
|
Silver Member Username: Subzer0Richmond, KY USA Post Number: 810 Registered: May-05 | not much is louder than RE especially for the price :P. |
|
Silver Member Username: ChriskleinPost Number: 230 Registered: Aug-05 | "Pounds like 6 inches" LMAO!!! |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 27 Registered: Sep-05 | well not 6.. like 2.. i was just messing around haha i cant believe i put that |
|
Silver Member Username: ChriskleinPost Number: 231 Registered: Aug-05 | I highly doubt they have an XMAX of 2". That is an XMAX of 50mm, checked the conversion. You might want to get correct information, because there is no freaking way that sub has an XMXAX of 50mm |
|
Silver Member Username: ChriskleinPost Number: 232 Registered: Aug-05 | 50.8mm to be exact in the conversion. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 28 Registered: Sep-05 | hey i got this sub hooked up... it was wired up for each voil coil, 2 set of wires, i only wired one and bridged it to my amp so thats 700 rms @ 2 ohms, and it pounds like its moving good but it wasnt quite as loud as my two 15s... why? box is ported... and i have my gains like at half.. more than i had my rockfords at.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 30 Registered: Sep-05 | some one help me please im stressed out should i return it/ cuz i dont wanna buy another amp and the stuff to power that amp, plus a new alt. dont wanna do it |
|
Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 523 Registered: Jul-05 | Oh, oh, some1's not sure of what he done - lol post a link to that sub or some exact specs ....... |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sexy_kutaPost Number: 31 Registered: Sep-05 | lol i cant find a link either i cranked the gains up and it sounds louder.. just about my rockfords but i know im not feeding it enough power whata a good amp that can feed at least around 800 rnms or a lil higher, cuz i think my amp is underpowered |
|
Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 546 Registered: Jul-05 | 800 wrms @ how many ohms ? If u are getting a 'gut feeling' that u may have made a 'boo boo' & can easily get a refund on that sub then do that & start on over ... |
