Mach 5 MAW http://www.mach5audio.com/product_reviews_info.php?products_id=41&reviews_id=11& osCsid=6afc1 Ascendant Audio Assassin http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/shop/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=52 Sound Splinter RL-I http://www.soundsplinter.com/rli10_subwoofer_information.html Audioque 2.5 http://www.audioque.com/aq/SD2_5_Series.htm This wiring should work for you. http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX-AK4 BTW Do you have a stock head unit or after market? |

New member Username: AltonkbU.s Post Number: 3 Registered: Mar-08 | thanks for the suggestions but do u know for a fact that these websites are trustworthy?? lol im a little skeptical to buy something i cant hold first |
Silver Member Username: Gh0st_31USF, FL USA Post Number: 720 Registered: May-06 | Yes they are all legitimate companies that many of us have dealt with for years. |
New member Username: AltonkbU.s Post Number: 4 Registered: Mar-08 | thanks =D i think i might go with the mach, do you think that will give a good amount of bump lol |
Silver Member Username: BoomtankRochester, NY USA Post Number: 515 Registered: Oct-06 | Yeah, many people have been very pleased with the output of the MAW's. Expecially good for a budget system. |
New member Username: AltonkbU.s Post Number: 5 Registered: Mar-08 | umm i know this is kinda different but can u take a look at this and tell me if it would be worth it or should i buy teh mach then buy a box and such http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Kicker-10-Comp-Subwoofer-07TC104/sem/rpsm/oid/171 804/catOid/-13093/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8298 Registered: Jun-04 | neither of those two links...the other subs would be better |
Silver Member Username: Gh0st_31USF, FL USA Post Number: 721 Registered: May-06 | There wont be much that is better at Circuit City or Best Buy. The products that I listed and most underground brands in general are better made and perform better. BTW I installed a 12" MAW for my buddy and was very impressed by the output and it is also one of the cheapest (good) sub you can buy. |
New member Username: AltonkbFlorida babbby U.s Post Number: 7 Registered: Mar-08 | yea i like the MAW good price and it gets good reviews but i wish it could come with a box instead of having to buy from 2 different sites and then i have to buy the amp from somewher b/c i dont have anything right now. |

Silver Member Username: Hurricanebr1anWestern Burbs of Chicago, IL Usa Post Number: 373 Registered: Sep-07 | if you like the MAW, you could buy a prefab sealed box to put it in. Never trust the prefab ported boxes however. The Maw is recommended at 1.0cu ft. Here is a box that would work. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7566_Sonic+Sub+Box-+1SL12-1.0+-BLACK+CARPET- .html |
Silver Member Username: Hurricanebr1anWestern Burbs of Chicago, IL Usa Post Number: 374 Registered: Sep-07 | As for an amp, look at finding one in the range of 300-400wrms at 2 ohms, since the MAW is D4 - meaning 2 4ohm voice coils. The kicker refurbished would be a nice inexpensive choice to match with the sub. Kicker makes good amps and I believe the refurbished products come with a 90 day warranty. http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/3141938/vpcsid/0 /SFV/30046 |
New member Username: AltonkbFlorida babbby U.s Post Number: 8 Registered: Mar-08 | one more question what do u guys think about a kicker comp? |
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8339 Registered: Jun-04 | again...not as good of a choice |
