New member Username: ProjekPost Number: 1 Registered: Oct-05 | Yes I am a newbie here, so I apologize if I've done anything wrong already, lol. I have a Hifonics Zeus ZX7500 amp powering my Cerwin Vega V-MAX 12" sub. I mostly listen to music with computer produced beats (rap, raggaeton, etc.). I like the sound of the Cerwin-Vega, but I think I can get a little more out of a sub with this amp. It doesn't catch all the bass from the music, and I want something that'll push a little more air through the car. I was looking into getting an Kicker Solo L7, but I think it's the look of the sub that attracts people more than anything. Is it a worthwhile sub? I just need someone to recommend me some 12" subs that my Zeus can handle, yet push it hard. Specs for both: http://www.cardomain.com/item/HIFZX7500 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/caraudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=13950 Thanks all! |

That's the only thing you did wrong.... but we'll forgive you this time :P. The reason we get a little bitchy, is because 91.2% of us are trying to stop smoking (or at least I am), and the rest are having constant PMS. :D |

Silver Member Username: Robert_dMIA, FL USA Post Number: 243 Registered: Sep-05 | your sub is 300 rms and the amp is 1000 rms bridged you could get another of your sub and wire both of them together to get a 4 ohm load so you can bridge it but you might blow ur subs if you crank it up cause you are overpowerin them a lil (does anyone know the adverage % hifonics is overrated at i read it before its like 23% but i cant find any sites on google that shows the a bench off them) or you could go with a eclipse ti re sx those are probily the best bang for the buck anyone got any other suggestions ? |
New member Username: ProjekPost Number: 3 Registered: Oct-05 | I wanted to go with 2 12's, but I can't, because I need room in the trunk for moving stuff. My budget... well I was trying to keep it under $300, but that really doesn't matter. I'll end up looking for the best deal on it, 'till I convince myself to buy it. I'll look into the Eclipse and RE's. BTW, I keep forgetting - what's that brand with the xXx on 'em? Thanks for the responses. |
