Silver Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 177 Registered: Mar-06 | actually, the p5 style subs aren't the worse subs ever. i had 2 12" in a q-logic box, ported, and they were pretty loud and low. they were better than my friends 2 10" alpine type e. |

Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 1858 Registered: Jun-05 | they dislike them cause they suck what have you exactly beat out some jensen's or pyle 's |
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 3404 Registered: Aug-05 |
wow....people dislike sony b/c they make cheap unreliable, non-durable products....there amps are cheap and overrated....their subs are cheap and sound like d00d00....there HU's are crap and sound like crap.....they are an all around crappy car audio company....now T.V.'s...that's another story. and the people at your school that were beat by your system must have had like 4 6 X 9's running of an amp....that is the only way you could be beaten by a 2 12" Sony's. |
Bronze Member Username: ReefPost Number: 79 Registered: Oct-05 | no i beat kids with, audiobahn,kenwood,fosgate, they don suck, i have got 2 tickets with them because of sound ordinance, there not that bad people think i got 12s but there just 2 10s maybe its because i have a hatch but it sounded pretty close to the kicker cvrs but there cvrs were a little underpowered |
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 560 Registered: Feb-06 | all under $400 and any of them would beat both the sony's and pioneers. and devin, i highly doubt xplodes sound pretty close to cvr's, no matter the setup. http://cgi.ebay.com/2-JL-AUDIO-12W3V2-D4-4-OHM-SUBWOOFERS-W3-V2-BRAND-NEW_W0QQit emZ9727299545QQcategoryZ39776QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/2-NEW-ALPINE-SWR-1242D-12-DVC-4-OHMS-1500W-SUBWOOFERS_W0QQit emZ9727962338QQcategoryZ18803QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/Resonant-Engineering-12s-SE-RE_W0QQitemZ9727136365QQcategory Z18803QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

Bronze Member Username: ReefPost Number: 81 Registered: Oct-05 | im not joking though, but the cvrs was runing off a sony 1200watt amp the put out 500rms so they cvrs were under powerd i went to circuit city and they let me put them in my car to see how they sound with my amp but i know the sonys are no ware near the cvrs. i wanna go some were and see wat they hit, where could i get it done at |
New member Username: PittleaguePost Number: 10 Registered: May-06 | so for my first subs wat is a good set up for me |
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 561 Registered: Feb-06 | devin, go to a real car audio store and have them metered, at most they might charge a few dollars. jereme, whats your budget for the subs and what are you going for sq, sql, spl? |
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7859 Registered: Jul-05 | alpine type R kicker compvr Arsenal - http://ascendantaudio.com/products.html all will give u the best bang 4 $ ...... |
Silver Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 178 Registered: Mar-06 | i'd either get kicker cvr's, ascendant audio assasins, or alpine type r's. all dual 2 ohm except for assains. power the two 12" subs with a audiobahn a8000t, except get the mb quart amp thats on sale at www.onlinecarstereo.com for the r's. put them each in a 1.25-1.75 cu ft ported enclosure tuned to 32-35hz. You won't be dissapointed at all. |
Bronze Member Username: ReefPost Number: 86 Registered: Oct-05 | i am getting 2 kickers cvrs, should i get a audiobahn a8000t for these subs i heard audiobahn sucks or is that just there subs |
Silver Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 179 Registered: Mar-06 | that amp is not the best but it gets the job done nicely. a lot of people like that amp. it also looks pretty cool. it's just their subs that suck |
Bronze Member Username: ReefPost Number: 88 Registered: Oct-05 | i can get that amp for 130$ thats a good price for 800rms isnt it, but you think thats better than getting a boss audio,kenwood,hifonics? |
Silver Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 180 Registered: Mar-06 | yes, hifonics are overrated but have fairly good build quality. the other two suck. that audiobahn is the best rms watt to dollar i have heard of |
Bronze Member Username: ReefPost Number: 91 Registered: Oct-05 | so what should i get the hifonics or audiobahn for my CVRs |
Silver Member Username: Thomas_gNM Post Number: 495 Registered: Oct-05 | Get tha CVR'S! Luv da CVR's! NYPD-LAPD- (BURN) lol!!! |
Silver Member Username: PanochaPost Number: 155 Registered: Jun-05 | yep someone had a sheet were there amps were tested at 14 volts or something and they were overated. |
Silver Member Username: SwisherMarianna, FL Post Number: 121 Registered: Apr-06 | get the hifonics amp... and how can you people be takin up for xplodes... my f@rts(the crap is that wont let me say f@art) sound better than them man and the people you beat with em must know about as much as you in car audio to be beat by xplodes my old 10" volf beat xplodes |
Gold Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 1033 Registered: May-05 | Back to the sony discussion. Their build quality is very sub-par. My friend has 2 12" P5's and on Red Hot Chili Peppers the bass guitar sounds pretty good. Close to my arsenals, it is just in deep, accurate, and loud bass, and SQ at very high frequencies that Sony's suck at. So basically, almost everything. Although my first 2 subs were the old non p5 subs and they really did decent. They ran with Rockford Fosgate P1 and 2's. But that was about it. |
Silver Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 157 Registered: Mar-06 | with a sony 250X2 they sound pretty good, im not gonna lie, almost anything is better, but youll probably be happy if youre truly asking this question, because your probably not going to be competeing, alexv305 put a pair of tens in a custom box and they sound sick, for sonys, not the best choice |
