ok i want to get a cheap ol' system in my ride, nothing expensive or anyhting, and i'll prolly be shopping at walmart cuz my gf gets 10% off everything :p i'm thinking 2 12" LA's on a LA amp, getting about 150rms each, you think the pioneers would be any better?

yes i know there are FAR better out there, but i'm on a very tight budget

Ahhh...Lightning Audio...

When you were talkin about the Pioneers above, did you mean Pioneer Subwoofers? The TS-W301R by any chance? if so, then I would go with the Pioneer over the Lightning Audio any day. Used to own them and they aint too bad for being cheap subs. Good SQ

Just make sure to get the SVC subs.

both the amp and sub subs you are wanting to buy suck. save a little more money and get something that will last.

your current sub also blows major c0ck.

i though the final was DVC 2ohm, just one set of terminals. So it could be wired to 1 ohm.

"he single set of speaker terminals, and the 2-ohm impedance draws more power out of your mono sub amplifier."

But maybe its SVC 2ohm final.

What all of you guys are forgetting is a box lol. Without a properly designed box, everything you all have listed will sound like crap, no matter what the price is.

well thanks for all the input, but most of what i'm hearing is "your choices suck" yes i'm aware of that, if i had it my way, i would get 2 15" IDQ's on a sundown amp, but i'm trying to put myself though college also, so most my money is to that, so like i said my budget is a pretty set budget

Honestly, everything at walmart is cr@p. I've heard my fair share of stuff from there, and it all is just plain depressing.

You were looking to spend around $200-250 for everything correct? Well like I said earlier, my friend is selling his 2 12" concept HZ's in a sealed box all ready to go for $100+shipping for it all. They are barely even broke in, 250w rms apiece/dual 4 ohm vc. He just wants them gone, needs money for other things. He also has a Sony 1200w amp and I think he wants $25 for it. Just checked somewhere online and stated that amp does 500w rms, but I don't know how accurate that is since it's sony.

I had 2 of these same subs, in about the exact same size box (1.25cf per chamber) and they played very nicely for the money. Good mixture of both SPL and SQ. They sound nearly identical to an alpine type-s (in the same box).

I don't want it to sound like I'm just trying to pawn my friends stuff off on you, but I don't think you will find anything better for the money. If you're interested just gimme your area code and I can give you a quote tomarrow.
