I have a 2004 Mercedes Benz C320 Coupe and I wanna know what would be the best sub(s) for me. I went to the local car electronics store and the guy there, which did my friends MINI, said that I should get Audiobahn Subs or Boston Acoustic Subs for my car. I wanted Two 12s and he recommended the ALUM12N subs from Audiobahn or the G212 subs from Boston Acoustics also he said that the SL Series Boston Acoustic components would be good. I have Precision Power Pro Art Amps, the Pro Art 25 and Pro Art 50. I wanted to know what Subs I should get and why? How about One JL Audio 12 inch W7? I already purchased a Kenwood DDX-7017 Head Unit on eBay so I am willing to spend about $1000 on components, subs, and installation. Thanks. |

Would that be a good setup for my car? Would it sound good and loud? Why is Audiobahn said not to be good and should be a last resort on this forum? |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 1876 Registered: Apr-05 | My opinion (and is many others as well) is that the w7 sounds best alone. I would get the 12" personally... If you went with the 12" your box would only have to meet these requirements (depending on whether you want it sealed or ported): Sealed Box Volume 1.375 cu. ft. Ported Box Volume 1.75 cu. ft. I prefer any sub to be sealed (it's easier and provides better SQ), though it's up to you for how you want it to sound. |

Bronze Member Username: Xpop2027Miami, FL United States Post Number: 22 Registered: Sep-05 | I have no idea what the diff. between sealed and ported is. If I get one 12w7 would it sound better and louder than 2 12s of Audiobahn ALUM series? I wanna put it in a plexiglass box just like this one. Would that be good and loud? http://www.sounddomain.com/ride/594251 |
