Sub Choice Help!
|
New member Username: QalienSpringfield, Illinois USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-05 | I am looking for a sub or set of subs that can handle the power of an old school Orion 2100 HCCA amp. If I remember correctly this amp will do close to 2000w at 1ohm (anyone know this for sure?). What I'm trying to do is find something that won't be ate up by this amp. I'm looking to use a sealed box and I prefer 10" subs as I like tight, accurate, controlled bass more than big boomy bass. Any suggestions? What I've seen so far would be something like Brahma, Orion H2, or Audiobahn. I listened to some Audiobahn today and they seemed rather messy, though that could have been the room we were in, the enclosure, and that specific model. |

The subs that zac mentioned are top notch subs. RE X.X.X's are excellent, adire audio brahmas,eclipse ti's diamond audio tdx.s and much more |

Silver Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 816 Registered: Dec-04 | yes Jeff is soooooooooooooooooooo right. That is possibly one of the best amps ever made. Do not I repeat do not buy audiobahn! I would run 2 REXXX 12's or 2 ID max 12's or 2 Eclipse Ti 12's or 2 adire Brahma 12's or 2 treo 12's or DD3512's and thats about it for 12's that can handle that power. I am sure there are a few more but any 1 of those subs let alone two of them would completely desimate those audiobahns |

It can look like a pizza faced teenage punk for all I care. I'm looking for SQ, not SQL, but I'm also looking for something that isn't going to be eaten by that amp. I think I have already decided that the RE Triple X (stupid filter) is what I'm going to use, but I just have to find some place that has them in stock. |
