Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 202 Registered: Aug-05 | Hey now, easy on the Volfenhag jokes. They play loudly, but in a sealed box, at high levels you can pick out the lack of clarity. I'd recommend them to you over Sony however. They do get as loud as they say, but I've only used them in a sealed box, and they may sound better in a well designed ported box. They get very deep regardless of what others say, I should know, I have them |

rideredder Unregistered guest | i have a pair of 12" volfenhags in a seald box in the hatch of my mustang. they get pretty loud with only 250wrms each at 4Ohms. but they're only about a third louder than my 2 12" RF punch HE's. i've had the volfenhags for about 2 months now and and haven't found a bass line they don't like. good subs for the price but when i get my other amp, we'll see how long they last. |

Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 217 Registered: Aug-05 | Acutally...Volf subs have pretty damn big magnets... |
|
Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 218 Registered: Aug-05 | I agree with Sean, Volf subs are pretty decent, but if you can get a better sub for that price, do it! That's just common sense I would think. |

Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 249 Registered: Aug-05 | I beg to differ on the getting loud part. It's the low frequencies that tend to cause the most vibrations, not rattle, vibration, such as you can see in glass and in water. Well those frequencies tend to be <35Hz. I know for fact my subs (Volfenhags) reach very low, as I've used a bass test and a song (Chevelle's - Comfortable Liar) to test. Comfortable Liar goes below 30Hz. I've played that song and bass tests of <30Hz at high levels, and the Volfs do NOT drop out. In fact, the bass is so intense it cause not only my stock cd player to skip, but my new cd player to skip once (a Kenwood KDC-X589). Not to mention my subs are in a sealed box, lowering their efficiency and loudness. The only distortion I've gotten from them is running my amp over it's 400W RMS (each sub is 500W RMS), so the distortion was from my amp, and not my subs lack of power handling. I'm not saying these subs are God's gift to car audio, but I've had mine for a while. My system sounds good for what I paid. I plan on upgrading, but only for subtle reasons. From what I've noticed Volfenhag started out with really REALLY garbagy gear. It seems though, that their quality is starting to become greater, and maybe in the future will rival that of other upper end companies. It's really up to the company to be honest. In reality DHD needs to drop the Performance Tecknique line, and just improve on the DHD and Volfenhag lines. Yes, those are all branches of Volfenag. |

Silver Member Username: Subzer0Richmond, KY USA Post Number: 858 Registered: May-05 | The guy at the somerset fleamarket here in Ky sells 12"s at 99.99 a piece all day long.. it's sad, even in bandpass boxes etc.. he makes a killing, I'm getting ready to take his business away from him though, stupid fat bast@rd.. |

Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 250 Registered: Aug-05 | Well, Glass, we live in an impatient world. Getting RE's requires more effort, aka a phone call rather than an online credit account. Plus, RE probably ships slower than say Ebay. I got my subs from Ebay in 2 days, RE probably takes longer to get it to you. I wasn't impatient, just rather poor when I bought mine. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3504 Registered: Jun-04 | you got a good point there tyler altho i may try the re's next myself |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3505 Registered: Jun-04 | In general people I am around have shown me that the bigger the size with a low price and decent power handling are what sell the subs to them. Most of them dont know anything beyond that so its hard to justify spending any more than they have to. Lets face it no one likes to spend any more of thier hard earned money than they have too. Thats why theres all kinds price ranges out there because theres all kinds of buyers as well. |

Bronze Member Username: AlanledbetterPost Number: 13 Registered: Aug-05 | just get some alpine type s for a hundred bucks on Ebay. Ask your friends about Audiobahn and see what they say. They seem to know what they are talking about. |

New member Username: Audio_paulWatkins, MN United States Post Number: 10 Registered: Oct-04 | well i am trying to decide either those or 1 L7 i guess i wanna save money but i want quality to so should i just get an L7? |

Silver Member Username: Subzer0Richmond, KY USA Post Number: 863 Registered: May-05 | if you want qaulity I think you already answered yourself... AKA no to the L7 |
|
Bronze Member Username: Robert_dMIA, FL USA Post Number: 81 Registered: Sep-05 | u can get 12" type R's for 110$ shipped off ebay |
|
Silver Member Username: Subzer0Richmond, KY USA Post Number: 864 Registered: May-05 | Amen to that, I want on eof those but still have this 12" SX so I am just gonna have to deal with it  lol. |
|
Bronze Member Username: TdisantoPost Number: 59 Registered: Sep-05 | I agree with sean in that people want to get the most for their money, so they see big power handling for little money and think its a good deal. I also see people on hear posting threads asking for the best SPL sub and they dont care if it sounds like garabage they just want it to be loud. Ive learned quickly that its all opinion. However i agree with glass in that for $25 bucks more (roughly 5 extra hours of work @ minimum wage) you can buy RE 12's which are very reputable entry level subs for a very fair and modest price. So pick up an extra shift at work and be a man about it. Get the REs lol As far as shipping goes, IMO i would wait Two or Three weeks for good gear than get junk over night. |
