Gold Member Username: HdubbFarmington, Nm Usa Post Number: 1391 Registered: Nov-04 | it would be hard, and bose isnt good at anything, was he drivin his moms gran prix and it had the bose package? right now you can get 2 atlas12s for 100 a piece which is limited and cheap, so go to www.ascendantaudio.com and et you some if not then go with the cerwin vega v max's awesome sub for the price |
El Cheapo Unregistered guest | are those atlas's goingto be able to compete with those P3 stage 3.. i noticed theres the 15" for only 10$ more would that help me beat him also what amp would i power those altlas's with |
Gold Member Username: HdubbFarmington, Nm Usa Post Number: 1392 Registered: Nov-04 | yes they will be better in every way, and 15s will be louder. you will need and amp that does about 500 to 600 at 2 ohms so any decent amp within that range would be perfect |
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 2266 Registered: Aug-04 | You can easily do better than 2 P3's with 500 bucks. Ascendant is probably your best bet right now, because of the prices. Get your self an AA Avalanche 12", for 200 bucks, and then find an MTX THUNDER 502 for about $185 shipped off ebay, or an Orion XTR 2150, for $230 shipped. That leaves you plenty of money for a box and wiring. |
El Cheapo Unregistered guest | just 1 is going to be louder then 2 12" p3's!!?? dang those subs must be the shi.t... if im not looking to get into comps and bragging rights and all that just looking for some deep bass and let people now when im arriving at a party or somthing will 1 15" atlas do the job-- because that kids just a punk and its pointless to throw money away on somthing i REALLY don't need just to teach him a lesson--- so will 1 15" let people know when im there:P |
El Cheapo Unregistered guest | oh and about the avalanche.. if i do decide to go with 1 12", would a audiobayn a8002t be able to push it good because it's rated 1x800w rms at 4ohms and its a lil overated and glasswolf always told me to run the amp only 80% to the subs rms |
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 2807 Registered: Dec-04 | hahaha yeah man 1-atlas 15 with 300 watts will really let people know that your there! |
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 2808 Registered: Dec-04 | that amp is highly overrated! I would rather see a MTX or JBL or something of that nature run it over the audiobahn but thats just me. I would look for either a JBL bp600 or a Kicker KX 600.1 something like that. I recomend the Avalanche 12 in a 1.5-1.75 cu/ft box tuned to about 27-28htz and hold on cause it willl get loud |
E Unregistered guest | haha sorry bout all tht extra stuff up top i was just really heated n wanted to show that kid who he's messin wit.... lol but it'll still be nice to see the look on his face when i woulda whopped his system he spent about 1,000$ on with 1 sub and my system costing only 500$ thanks for the help guys^ |
El Cheapo Unregistered guest | last Q and you can close this thread... whats going to be the best but in a budget(130$) for the atlas 15"... its 300w rms but i heard its underated so any amp that puts out 300/350 wrms at 4ohms would be nice |
New member Username: Mhamilton1Ny Us Post Number: 10 Registered: Apr-05 | go with the sub these guys suggested, and for an amp the is a soundstream vangoh 600.2 on ubid.com for 174.00 not bad for an amp that retails for 600.00 plus |
Bronze Member Username: Mhamilton1Ny Us Post Number: 11 Registered: Apr-05 | i know these guys are gonna not like this but go with the sounstream amp i mentioned above and a kicker s12l7 on ubid.com for 138.00 and you should kill him, my l7's hit HARD |
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 3424 Registered: Dec-04 | guys how about, a 12 inch Ti, 300 bucks, and a refurbed hifonics brutus 1500d, im sure he could find it for under 200, thats 500 or less and would own him lol |
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 2305 Registered: Aug-04 | Sub, you sound like a broken record. lol |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 3900 Registered: May-04 | Bose is the crappiest audio company I can fathom. You'll pay thousands of dollars for drivers that are equivalent to those from Sony. Get your friend to read this: http://www.intellexual.net/bose.html |
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 2323 Registered: Aug-04 | Jon, I gotta email that page to everybody I know. The best explanation for how crappy Bose is that I've ever read. |
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 2898 Registered: Nov-04 | Bose may produce $hitty speakers, but the corporation is making tons of money. Same thing applies to Sony. Don't know why people keep supporting them. |
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 2325 Registered: Aug-04 | Because there are a lot of dumb, nieve people living in our country. |
Bronze Member Username: Skyliner17Saint Paul, MN United States Post Number: 36 Registered: Apr-05 | not dumb and naive, just uneducated that goes along with the flow |
Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 3905 Registered: May-04 | Audio companies generally don't market, Bose does. Bose spends more money on marketing than every audio company combined, and when you have idiot "scientists" in Consumer Reports saying they're great speakers, people lap it up. Hi-fi magazines refuse to review Bose speakers because it's mass marketed junk. |
Silver Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 770 Registered: Mar-04 | I cant stand bose. If any of you have ever heard Paul Harvey on the radio, he praises bose day and night...*tard*. My dad just bought a new 4-door 2005 chevy z71 yesterday. Its are really nice truck (wish he would have bought it for me ), but i was looking the truck over when he got it home and i really liked it. Then i saw something that made me sick...on the drivers side door on the speaker grill in nice shiny letters, it said "Bose". (S.O.B., a nice truck w/ sh!ty speakers...i hate bose!) oh...anyone have a bose speaker they are willing to hook to a 110V outlet? (i would pay to see that) |
Bronze Member Username: RedrangeMo Hill, California Post Number: 41 Registered: Apr-05 | Honestly my friend has a Escalade EXt w da bose components and for stock system....damn its pretty good.No Subs or anything but compared to all other stock speakers the bose compnents are actually not that bad |
New member Username: PdunnyPost Number: 3 Registered: May-05 | my dad has a Chevy Trail Blazer EXT with the Bose system. he just bought it and we still have the same truck in the drive way b.c we ahvent sold it yet. but any ways. The bose in the new truck absolutely BLOWS AWAY the old truck. It even comes close to my alpine type-r speakers in my jeep. I dunno bout yall but i LOVE the bose. |
