Looking to replace Type R's with something less deafening
|
Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 114 Registered: Jun-07 | I have a kx1200.1, and my budget it whatever I get out of my Type R's plus that flared box. What do you guys think would be my best bet. My ideal setup would be 2 w6's, but I dont have $800 to drop on the subs. I was thinkin possible either 2 12" RE SE's or 1 FI Q or... possible a TREO TSI... idk, I just don't think I'll have hearing by age 20 if i keep these R's. They do have amazing SQ though, might I add... |

Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 117 Registered: Jun-07 | they are 2 12" if you didnt know ;) |
|
Silver Member Username: SheriffPost Number: 483 Registered: Jan-07 | Not bad, how long were they used? |
|
Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 118 Registered: Jun-07 | not long at all. Maybe 2 months roughly with a lot of down time. Very low hours. |
|
Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 119 Registered: Jun-07 | does anyone know anything about the re mx. Is that more sq or spl? How about re subs in general are they more sq or spl oriented? Same with RD? I know fi q is sq, but I just want to look at all my options. |

Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 120 Registered: Jun-07 | cam, the q is sq. Hmm.. andrizzle, im not sure that it will fit in my car.. I know it wont fit facing the taillights, but will it still sound ok if the sub is up and the port is back (towards the taillights) No im keeping my amp |

Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 121 Registered: Jun-07 | Ok, Im looking for a sub with that DEEP BASS CRAVE! My R's are deafening with a TON of vibrations, and I can't tune them any lower than like 35 Hz.. |
|
Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 124 Registered: Jun-07 | im really thinking about a 15" Q, or an 18" Q and tuning it to like 28Hz. Hmm.. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4606 Registered: Feb-06 | why can't you tune them any lower? i had mine tuned lower and liked them just fine for what they were. |
|
Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 125 Registered: Jun-07 | If i remember right, the manual didnt suggest anything lower than 35Hz. I think the Q would hit lowest at 28Hz. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4607 Registered: Feb-06 | who cares what the manual says. do you think everyone follows what the manuals' say for box sizes? |
|
Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 126 Registered: Jun-07 | well if the company who makes the sub put that in there for a reason, it's obviously got some meaning. |
|
Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 127 Registered: Jun-07 | NEW IDEA! 2 12" fi Q's @ 28Hz on my little kx1200.1 temporarily. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4609 Registered: Feb-06 | it's a recommendation, that's about it. what does the manual say about rms? and how much are you giving them? look how many people were giving the q more than the 'rms' before the bp option was available and nothing at all wrong with them. you can tune them lower and like them. had mine lower and they were fine, and heard them tuned to 30hz. and they were fine. can't go by just what the manual says. |

Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 128 Registered: Jun-07 | what would my output be for one dual 1 ohm, and two dual 1 ohm subs? |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4610 Registered: Feb-06 | they wire the same as dual 4ohm subs. |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 11637 Registered: Jul-05 | who said u cant tune em under 35hz in fact i had mine 32hz & u got it all - SQ with loudness also had mine each in only 1cuft sealed & then amazed me how loud they got yet had nice SQ on it too i suggest u spend only $0 or so & build urself a sealed box & then decide if u want to change ...... |

|
Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 130 Registered: Jun-07 | lol but i think i want to either go with w6's or 12" fi q's =/ thanks though. I want to move on from my type r's and step it up a bit. |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 11639 Registered: Jul-05 | i see - if were me i would try a 15" Q .... |

Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 131 Registered: Jun-07 | 1 15w over w 12q's? my trunk isnt the biggest. my current box is 36x16.5x13.5 and thats pushin it. What about those W6's, you dont seem to be givin much love to those powerhouses. It would be perfect for the amp i got too, the kx1200.1. Rovin, do you think it would be possible to put that 15 Q in a box roughly 36 inches wide 16.5 inches deep and 13 inches tall and tune it to 28 Hz? |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 11646 Registered: Jul-05 | havent been around any w6 -hear some 13w7 which is SWEET so w6 SQ should be even better if u can afford it - more SQ subs 36x16.5x13.5 = 4.21 b4 any displacement so it should be kinda tight after sub\port displacement but can work 28hz u will more FEEL the bass than HEAR it - i like 32-33hz for nice SQL - u should email owner of FI since its his subs & he will give u the best advice what to do ........ |
