Need help picking a sub for deep bass.
|
New member Username: Turbo_ek9Post Number: 1 Registered: Mar-09 | My amp is a 600w max pioneer or kenwood. I know, how do i not know. I want a sub that will hit the deep @$$ bass lines in my music. I would like to hit that bass that makes you feel like you are going to $#!^ yourself. I dont have the power nor cash for that. My plan is to spend $150 for a sub to get close to what I want. My car is a 2000 civic hatch. I think i can stuff a 15" in it. some guidance would be appreciated. |

Also, do you have an enclosure already? Sealed or ported? And I don't think you will have enough power for an sdc. |

Silver Member Username: TurnmatRacine, Wi Post Number: 977 Registered: Feb-07 | Nvm i missed the max following the 600. Reading>Me If he could find a 15" sd he should be good with that power. Othwise give us a little more to go on like Donnie said. |

It takes all of my time, so i am sorry if i cant respond sooner. i have a tape measure with me at all times, but cant seem to measure the box in my car for you. I think it is 20x20x6. Audiobahn 12", got it 4 or 5 years ago for $75. might be a 400 or 600 watt. |

New member Username: Turbo_ek9Post Number: 4 Registered: Mar-09 | How much money do i need to spend to hit 15 or 20hz. I know the human ear cant hear it. Some of the music i listen to seem to have those low lines in it. I found an MBQuart for $130 that has a low frequency response. I dont have much knowledge on brands. I have an audiobahn right now, and want to hit lower lows and still be louder for about $150. Sorry i dont know what a RE/ SE or whatever else is. |

Silver Member Username: TurnmatRacine, Wi Post Number: 996 Registered: Feb-07 | Box build is going to play a large part on how you want the sub to sound. In the ideal box the SE can do what you want |
|
Silver Member Username: 420pimp2Post Number: 853 Registered: Jan-06 | How much are re se's. 12 inch |
|
Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 20131 Registered: Jun-06 | You can hear 15-20hz. You more feel it than hear it though....... |
|
Silver Member Username: TurnmatRacine, Wi Post Number: 999 Registered: Feb-07 | You can get a re se for $190 on ebay. Not sure how much to buy from a dealer |
|
New member Username: Turbo_ek9Post Number: 5 Registered: Mar-09 | the se is only 34hz. will it still hit my low lows? |
|
Gold Member Username: TurnmatRacine, Wi Post Number: 1001 Registered: Feb-07 | that is the optimal box size and tuning for the sub. You can run the sub in a smaller or larger box and tune either up or down but it will affect the subs performance. I think that it will do what you are looking for it to do. |

|
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinTeam DLSSuperNatural... Post Number: 6339 Registered: Nov-05 | very few songs play down that low.. most are in the 40hz region.. unless your playing some SQ tracks  |
