Gold Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 1607 Registered: Oct-04 | I've had 4 Eclipse SW9122's for a couple years now. One of the surrounds blew out and since Eclipse went out of business I can't replace it. I'm ready to get something with more SPL. I haven't been keeping up with car audio for awhile so I'm not sure what I need. I was considering 2 x 18" Solo-x's but I'm not really big on Kicker subs....what is comprimable as far as SPL? I have a kicker 2500 watt amp but am willing to replace it.....was thinking about the Kicker Workhorse. Thanks for your input |

Silver Member Username: AlonzoubPost Number: 155 Registered: Apr-10 | Kicker Warhorse? Idk if thats necessary. As far as SPL goes I'd look into Digital Designs 9500's http://www.ddaudio.com/mobile-audio/woofers/9500-series.aspx DC Audio XL's (http://www.dcsoundlab.com/woofers.html) Fi BL (https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn154de17404ca020/shopdata/0050 _Speakers/0020_BL/product_overview.shopscript) ... thats all I can really think of off the top of my head. |

Gold Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 1608 Registered: Oct-04 | Thanks for all of the ideas. Lots to choose from but I think I will go with two Fi N318's. I like the idea of being able to order direct from the company. So if I get another KX2500.1 amp I should be goo to go, right? Thanks again. |

Gold Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 1609 Registered: Oct-04 | Okay. All agree? |

|
Gold Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 1610 Registered: Oct-04 | Thanks for all of your help. I will go with the n2's....two of them on two 2500 watt kicker amps....ought to be sick!!! |

Gold Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 1611 Registered: Oct-04 | I'm running two alternators - 120A and 240A. Probably need to get another 240 amper. |

Silver Member Username: Lord_huggingtonOntario Canada Post Number: 401 Registered: Oct-10 | The LMS Ultra isn't an SPL sub, wtf? That's the mack daddy of low distortion. You might just want one of the subs that can take wall socket abuse, TSNS, APX/APXX, Warden, SMD, ETC... |

|
Gold Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 1612 Registered: Oct-04 | Recone the Eclipse? Where can I get that done? Eclipse won't have anything to do with it. I can't find a QCA anywhere. |

|
Gold Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 1613 Registered: Oct-04 | I put in a service request with fixmyspeaker.com. I really like the Eclipse so It would be great if I could get them fixed. Eclipse didn't go out of business, they told me that they just don't do aftermarket anymore. I will contact fi and see what they can do. Thanks for all of your help. |

Bronze Member Username: John253aPost Number: 18 Registered: May-11 | It all come down to budget. |
|
Gold Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 1614 Registered: Oct-04 | I'm not big on the Kicker subs. I would however consider the Solo-X but not after the options I've been given here. If I can't get the surrounds repaired then I will go with 2 of the 18" N2's. I will have to build a box for them. |

Gold Member Username: Drant19TX Post Number: 2259 Registered: Aug-07 | no square subs....period. |

Gold Member Username: HdubbTeam Revolution Post Number: 4352 Registered: Nov-04 | hmmmm....are you just talking a daily loud musical setup or are you talking you want to compete in an org and go all out for numbers? because the 2 are totally different. i would plan it all out. and start with electrical. good batteries and alternators are a good start. like i said. everything depends on how much power you plan to run and what frequencies you want to play lol |
