Post Number: 15143 Registered: Oct-05 | i have to agree with rob. i know a few people around here that owns a solo x so i've heard plenty. it hits LOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW. might not be as musical as i would like it to be but it hits low. but then again its a spl sub so it don't need to be musical. |

Silver Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 434 Registered: Apr-07 | I LOVE the way my btls sound on music- tight and controlled while being loud enough to do some good numbers. Even one is enough to make an impressive ground pounder- especially in a small car. If you are looking for more of a daily thing than spl the RDs sound great, but are really more sq oriented than staight out spl. At a certain level you really cant tell sq anyway. I'd rather see two subs than 1 with that power, but I guess space doesn't really allow. An 18" BTL, RD heavyweight (or omega when they're out), or DD 9518 would be great. I chose the BTLs over the solo-x's, and I was able to get dealer price which was less than the btls. Most people who kill their subs, solo-x or any of the others mentioned did so because of mistakes with their setup, or inexperience. |
