Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 1088 Registered: Dec-04 | you think there systems sound great because you have no real systems to test...ill give you a awesome system right now |

Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 169 Registered: Sep-04 | it sounds great because youve never heard anything else... audiobahns will get loud while they work... they have no sound quality and then they go splut ... JL audio has equipment that can get loud and sound great... all your firends will be so jelous... so does eclipse and resonant engineering... image dynamics is leaned more towards SQ and you seem like your interested in SPL ... Digital designs has great SPl .. but im sure you will be happy with an SQL system like W7s or x.x.x or Tis or maybe even w6v2s |

Audiobahn may not be great, but its a lot better than Kraco or Sparkomatic(before y'alls time?). Nah, it probably doesn't suck, but like Subfan said there's a lot better stuff out there you haven't heard yet. Oh man, what I could do with 5 grand.  -Fishy |

Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bNc Usa Post Number: 270 Registered: Jan-05 | For sql go with a pair of RE XX.X 15", each with its own amp(ex. kx1200.1). A high end HU from Alpine, clarion, eclipse, ect. A component set from Dynaudio, a/d/s, focal, ect. A good 200 watt 2ch amp from us amps, zapco, ect. A custom sealed or ported box. New alt. and battery. All new wiring. Maybe a capacitor to finish it off. |
|
bloodrain Unregistered guest | That sounds pretty good |

Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 172 Registered: Sep-04 | if you want a crazy loud system for 5 grand... okay heres my razy idea that i just came up with... 1 15 inch woofer (trust me you blow away your friend's firend's friend's) the subwoofer is a 15 inch eclipse Ti Pro .. its 3000 watts RMS and 5000 watts peak... 900$$ found here... http://www.woofersetc.com/product.asp?0=279&1=285&3=1918 next amps... hmm ask around for other opinions but im lookin towards what i would do is 2 Jl 1000/1 amps one for each voice coil (which i believe is dual 4 ohm..some1 correct me if im wrong!!) because JL will give you that full 1000watts at 4 ohms ... thats about 1500 for both on the same website... then you need highs... and an amp for them.. 450/4 amp is 580 ... get 2 componant sets... diamond audio s600 i think... thats 660 then you ned a 235 amp alternator, 2 yellow top batteries... and lets say a 5-10 farad capacitor... thats like 900 total in this category... lets add it up! 4540!!! and you can buy urself some skill with the leftover lol... just kiddin |

Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 173 Registered: Sep-04 | okay wel i started typin b4 all of you i just am slow lol... and subfan.. where are u finding 2 15 ti pros for 1600? and with those ppi amps your only going to be able to push them to half the RMS |
|
bloodrain Unregistered guest | well i want to be able to hit at least 2000wRms and i jus looked at those brands you guys suggested and they dident get to many good reveiws well i dont know what im going to do |
|
Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 176 Registered: Sep-04 | whoa buddy... eclipse ti pro is an excellent subwoofer... and its about 2000 times better than any audiobahn... and the amps i sugested .. the JL 1000/1s and 450/4 are some of the best amps made... also i suggested excellent highs... with those 2 amps for the sub youd be hitting 2400 watts RMS ... 4800 watts max... stop listening to your friends... i promis you if you do my idea you will not only be happy, you will make your friends jelous, and you will go deaf...but you will have fun doing it! lol that system i suggested will be louder than any of your friends systems and sound wayyyyy better too... just do it man.. you nkow you want to |

|
bloodrain Unregistered guest | acualy you know what i dont think eclips would be could for me,i am looking for subs to compete with and eclips jus dosent do it for me. There overrated. |
|
bloodrain Unregistered guest | would those subs sound good with Metallica |
|
Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 180 Registered: Sep-04 | you could compete way better with eclipse than audiobahn...and i dont knwo what would sound good with metalica... i listen to rap... you are very hard to please for some1 who knows nothing... u were happy with audiobahn and now u cant accept eclipse... okay next thought then... www.reaudio.com 2 10 inch MT subs... with w/e amps... those will be loud for ya too ... or go with like 8 8w7s that'll give ya tight bass... bottom line, i dont know what to say ... i guess some1 else will have to help u |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1759 Registered: Aug-04 | Wait a minute guys. He want's hardcore sql. I would personally shy away from the TI Pro if he wants all out sql. Not sure how Metallica would sound on a Pro, but they're more spl oriented. For all out sql your really not gonna beat the Re X.x.x. Yes, the Ti Pro will be louder, but I'm thinking the X.x.x will work better for what you want. |
|
blood Unregistered guest | so X.x.x is what i need |
|
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1761 Registered: Aug-04 | If your gonna want excellent sql, yes. That will suit your rock listening better. I love Metallica, but when I played it on my old system which was more spl than anything else, it sounded pretty bad. |
|
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1765 Registered: Aug-04 | I'd recommend something like an RE X.X.X 15" and an Ed Nine.1 or something along that line for an amp. You don't need to run the full 1600 watts rms to the re, 1200 rms would run it great. Plus, that sub and amp is gonna cost you more than half as much as a TI Pro and the amp(s) to run it. You'll have more money to spend on better components/amps or a really nice headunit, if that's what you wanna do. |

Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bNc Usa Post Number: 271 Registered: Jan-05 | That was my suggestion. Just look at the math. An audiobahn immortal, their top sub line, only has an xmax(the max excursion capabilities of the sub in one direction) of 16.5 mm. A RE XX.X 15 has an xmax of 32 mm. That double the amount of air displacement. And moving air makes spl. |
