I need some help to decide. I've got a Pioneer 1200W Dual 2ohm amp to push some good sound but I don't want it to come out rattling. I listen to rap, rock, breakbeats, drum & bass, plenty of hard sound to throw at my system so I want to make sure it handles it well. I've also got a Volfenhag 1.2 farad capacitor to make sure there's no juice drain. Can someone help??? I'm afraid that the Kicker will sound like a big boom that doesn't keep up with fast beats, the Alpine might sound great but too weak, and the Pioneer SEEMS to be the best at 3000W & great SPL but most expensive also and I'm not sure if my amp could handle it. I have a Scion Tc 2005 (hatchback) with a stock Pioneer cd/mp3 player, thinking of getting an equalizer. Any help would be great! |

What I see in difference with the speakers is that the Pioneer Premier can hit as low as 18Hz and high as 700Khz with 1000W (3000W peak), which sounds like a win/win to me. The Alpine looks like it it can hit really fast with all the folds that it has around the cone. |

Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 2339 Registered: Dec-04 | yea your right, but with 750 watts rms for the amp, i would suggest getting the kicker l7 if you want to go LOUD lol, and with the pioneer sub, you cant really hear anything about 18 hz, and i dont think with a sub you WANT to hear anything over a couple hundred, im prollly wrong lol, but i have heard all those subs but the pioneer sub, and over the other two i would take the kicker, cause they can sound halfway good, not as good as the type r, but willlll KILLLL a type r in spl |

New member Username: DesignMiami, FL USA Post Number: 6 Registered: Apr-05 | I'm more thinking of accurate than loud, my stock head unit & speakers are Pioneer but still STOCK you know. About the 18Hz, while you might not hear it, you can still feel it, I'm thinking a bass solo would be where it benefits. And actually the Pioneer (Premier) has a higher spl than the Kicker, maybe because its a 12" unlike the kicker I'm looking at. I might not get the Premier because it has dual 4-ohms, the seller has not responded yet if he has a dual 2ohm version. Here is a link to the Alpine: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem%26item%3D5767589045%26&sspagename= STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT%26 Pioneer Premier: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem%26item%3D5767313240%26&sspagename= STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT%26 and the Kicker: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem%26item%3D5767968264%26&sspagename= STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT%26 |
