Anonymous | well i have come to a dilemma in the past month i have gone through 2 alpine Type X and 2 eclipse ti's (both sets are 12 in models) the x's werent cutting it in the spl department the ti's had more spl but too much sq i sold my tahoe recently and bought an old bronco that was currently restored-- new frame and everything- no rust  my main question is that i am going to spend about 2g's on subs alone-- maximum i already have bought 2 extra 1000/1 to go along with my two rf 1501db im looking to get around 5000w rms and am unsure what to buy-- i already bought all the electrical neccesities- other than wiring and dis block should i go the monster spl way and buy some MT's? this is not going to be a daily driver system- mostly local spl competition or should i go the extremist way and buy some 18 in solobaric X's (i know a kicker dealer who would get me 3-4 for 2 g's) any help im up for any brand |

Do you like listening to junk? I meen, no offence, it just sounds odd, lol. Anyways, If you have some serious cash, and want to compete, then I'd look into DD's 9900 series. One DD 9917 is gonna use up pretty much all of your two grand, but it sure would be worth it, and I'm pretty sure you'd waste anybody in a local competition. Actually, if I had 2 grand I'd look for some newer TC Sounds drivers, but they're pretty hard to find. If you ever feel like competing in local sound quality comps, then I'd order some Rainbow Vanidiums. Not sure on the price, but you maye be able to get a couple with 2 grand. |
