Bronze Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 66 Registered: Dec-06 | OK...I have been doing a lot of research on different subwoofers so that I will be able to make an informed decision later this year when I have the money to make a purchase. Anyway, so far I have done some research into Ascendent Audio, Audioque, Fi, Resonant Engineering, Digital Designs, Treo Engineering, Image Dynamics, Diamond Audio, and JL Audio. Are there any other brands you would suggest looking into that have the same quality and performance as these brands? Also, are there any on this list that aren 't "worthy" to be mentioned with the others? Thanks! |

Bronze Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 69 Registered: Dec-06 | I have a Sable right now but will be trying to get an SUV this summer. I am just doing research on quality subs right now so I can make an informed decision later this year. I don't yet know a budget. I may only be able to afford a Fi Q, but may make enough to get something like a HD3. It all depends so I want to research a wide range for now. |

Bronze Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 72 Registered: Dec-06 | As far as the electrical goes, at what point do I need to begin considering an upgrade (I guess how many RMS)? I want to get a Grand Cherokee, so it will be a 130 amp alternator. To Raymond: I actually have one L7. It is loud, but I am not impressed by the quality of the sound. |
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1040 Registered: Mar-06 | kicker...besides the CVR's i think they are only good for getting loud. THey are what they are....get loud, dont take extra power nicly, and are muddy because they are squares lol with a 130A alt. and just the stock battery? I would say 1200rms is your max on the system anything more and i would upgrade. Even with the 1200rms i would still consider getting a battery dedicated to the system. THe general rule is get a battery for every 1000rms but that also depends on what batterys your getting. Get a kinetiks hc2400 and i think that would be good enough for 2500-3000rms but you still need a H\O Alt to keep it charged good.. there are calculators on www.the12volt.com that can help you alot with this stuff (everything i said was just figures off the top of my head so it may vary a bit) |
