Look on ebay. Maybe a phoenix gold rsd? heard good praise from other forum members but have never heard one myself. |

Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 2208 Registered: Jun-07 | i have seen a lot of people in my area use those subs and do very well in spl comps. 3 inch coils. light cone. i think its pretty good. and for 80? can't loose for 80 bucks. i know 4 people that have the american bass XDs. they all paid more than 80 for them. lol. i don't see any phoenix gold or re stuff for 80 bucks that will hold up to that AB one. idk. u might be able to find something better but thats the best i see |

Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 181 Registered: Jul-09 | You ever think of running just a single 12 or 15? You might be able to do better with your budget on just one sub. |
Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 2212 Registered: Jun-07 | the XD has 3inch coils http://americanbassusa.com/front/showcontent.aspx?fileid=63 |
New member Username: ClaudPost Number: 9 Registered: Aug-09 | I was actually just thinking that I was looking at some 15" p3s by Rockford |
Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 2214 Registered: Jun-07 | i woudn't get a rockford sub so ur looking at 150 for a single 15? y don't u just tell us how much money ur wanting to spend on everything and what car u have and what kind of music u like? spl or sq or both? |
Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 2215 Registered: Jun-07 | kevin i see that site does say 2 1/2 coils... i wonder if its a different sub or if the info is wrong. |
Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 2216 Registered: Jun-07 | ok ur right! the 15 has 3inch coils the 12 has 2.5 ur right. but still 80 bucks is good |
New member Username: ClaudPost Number: 10 Registered: Aug-09 | about 150 dollars on either one 15" sub or two 12" subs in a ford explorer with good spl and sq |

Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 185 Registered: Jul-09 | Do you have an amp for this sub? |

New member Username: Xaceofspades999xPost Number: 4 Registered: Dec-09 | lol ya my friend told himself to spend more on the subs then the amp too a while back and now is regretting it bc he didnt realize that even if u have shitty subs and a good amp itll push better than good subs with a shitty amp.... |
New member Username: SteadyupgradingEvansville, IN Usa Post Number: 8 Registered: Dec-09 | Man,it sounds to me like you need to bite the bullet and up your budget. If your want subs that slap under 150 pair your market is really slim. As for the better subs than amp deal,you may as well sh*t can that idea all together and get an amp that doesn't suck. Find a decent amp online and then look for it on ebay,get a good deal on it. You buy a cheap amp though,your gonna be regretting it in no time. Keep your eye on rms watts though,match them up the best you can |

New member Username: BoomboomboomNew Zealand Post Number: 3 Registered: Nov-06 | I went the opposite way and tried to find a couple decent amps (hopefully they are) before finding a sub & speakers. I think the idea is that your power source is your foundation for the system... once you have a fairly solid foundation you can build on that according to what your amps can actually put out. I only look at RMS (and even then be skeptical)... and never pay attention to max watts/ max bridged watts etc because I think all those numbers are fairy tales meant to try and sell stuff. |
