Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 152 Registered: Aug-05 | Ok, I've listened to a lot of music on my subs, however cheap they may be, I've found that with music like Rap, the bass sounds, OK, and is a little laggy. HOWEVER, with classical, it's pretty accurate, and with the fastest type of music, metal (techno doesn't count, it's for nerds) I've noticed that when the drummer goes to 16th notes or faster on his bass drum, my subs keep up VERY VERY well. Are there any subs that are reasonably priced and very accurate and loud with all music? My subs were accurate sounding with all music at low levels, but when it came to high levels, metal was the only type of music they were very accurate with, followed by rock, classical, pop, country, and last was rap. Is it just that rap is terrible sounding bass-wise? |

RAP will make any sub sound "OKAY". It is when you play classical music that you notice how far off it is to being "real" or "live" like. ID MAX/RE X.X.X./JLW7 should all be able to produce accurate bass without distorting. |

Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 156 Registered: Aug-05 | I mean at a subs RMS levels. As loud as it can get without blowing. And yet, still keep up with the beats without lagging or sounding muddy. That's what I think to be accurate. |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 10041 Registered: Dec-03 | two RE XXX 12" subs (XBL^2 motors_ with over 1Kw to each sub, in an aperiodic box. very very tight and accurate, and very linear at high excursion. Also pretty darned loud. Not however, reasonably cheap. |

Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 158 Registered: Aug-05 | Hehe, I wish I could afford those. How about the V-Max's I wanna buy? Will they perform pretty tight bass (better than what I have) and at high levels sound good and what not? |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 4717 Registered: May-04 | What kind of subs do you have? I'd go for the Image Dynamics IDQ, the Arc Audio ARC subs, or the Adire Audio Shiva on a budget. |

Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 161 Registered: Aug-05 | I have Volfenhags at the moment. Looking to upgrade to 2 good 12's. Preferably no more than $150 each. (I still gotta get a 4-Channel amp, cap, and and alt. so money isn't completely an option like some of these rich mof0's on here lol) Something, loud, clean, rich, tight, smooth, pretty. No, I'm not describing my ideal wife either! |

Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 162 Registered: Aug-05 | Ok, I found an Adire Audio site, but couldn't find their products on it. Checked out the Arc Audio sub, and it's got less power than my current subs, but are they just underrated? And what's the ID site? I got some crazy thing earlier for it... |
