Decent Bass for 300 dollars?
|
James Palanza Unregistered guest | Is it possible to get decent bass for 300 (including an amp?) I'm more worried about loud low vibrating bass than quality - but I dont want it to sound like TOTAL crap lol. |

The only possible way is buying used or extremely low quality gear, and that's not a great idea. I tried to get a cheap system, but shortly found myself spending up to $600 and that's just a small, starter system. |

Silver Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 650 Registered: May-05 | dustin, the RE re doesn't come in 15" sadly  . If you want as loud as you can get it james try this. It might be kinda cool expirement. 1 of these - Audiobahn 1000rms subs (dual 2 ohm) http://cgi.ebay.com/Audiobahn-AW1505N-15-1000W-RMS-Sub-NEW-2005-AW1505Q_W0QQitem Z5825145351QQcategoryZ58034QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem It is $144 Put that in a 5 cubic foot ported box tuned to 30Hz. And 1 of these- Hifonics Titan (1000rmsX1@1 ohms) http://cgi.ebay.com/HIFONICS-TX1005D-TITAN-CLASS-D-AMP-1000-WATT-NEW_W0QQitemZ58 25183122QQcategoryZ18797QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem $160 Total of $300. Build your own box through tutorials online. Wire the stuff to 1 ohm so you can get the most out of that amp. Both of those things are overrated so you should be fine as far as both being the same power. |

Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 581 Registered: Jan-05 | opps my bad i thought they made a re15 guess i was wrong, but still one re12 in a nice ported box with that kicker amp would be 100 times nicer than any audiobahn setup. |
|
Silver Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 658 Registered: May-05 | Only reason I recommended audiobahn was cause he said he was mainly interested in SPL. You can't deny that 1 1000rms audiobahn with a 1000rms Hifonics amp will get fairly loud. It might not sound good but hey.... |
|
James Palanza Unregistered guest | Hey, yeah, that kx200.2 is nice, it says you have to bridge it though, is there any downside to that? |
|
James Palanza Unregistered guest | Gah, my wireing in my car for my amp is 4 AWG cable, and I think kicker only fits 8 AWG, atleast for the 200.2. I'd like to get the 400.1, but if I'm going to spend 160 on a 400.1, I mise well get a nice JL 250/1? Planning on powering a 12 inch re |

Silver Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 107 Registered: Oct-05 | yeah i do have one audiobahn 1500rms hooked up to my kx1200.1 and it is loud but not clean. i used to have two of those hooked to it til i found out having one would be a lot louder. |
|
James Palanza Unregistered guest | Oh hey, whats the deal with refurbs? I know buying refurbished parts for computers isnt always that big of a disaster, they are normally new (without warrenty), same thing applies here? Is it alright to buy an amp that is refurbished new? |
|
Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 585 Registered: Jan-05 | ya the audiobahn setup would probaly get louder, but the re/kicker setup would be a lot better, ya that kicker amp won't allow 4ga wire, and that jl would be nice but u might be pushing your budget if you plan to get it. |
|
James Palanza Unregistered guest | Yeah, I see what you mean.. are there any kickers that support 4ga? Like, does the 400.1? |
|
Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 588 Registered: Jan-05 | im pretty sure the kx600.1 does but that out of your price range, and i would think that the 400.1 would also but im not 100% sure, another amp to look at could be the mtx 421d[i think thats what its called] its a nice amp and would power the re sub perfectly. |
