New member Username: Mike_fPost Number: 1 Registered: Dec-05 | My son want's subs. He's eyeing this Kicker package for 10" L5's: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_5534.html The price seems great and fits what I want to spend, $350ish. Going in a bigger SUV. Would think he wants loudness but sound quality is important too. Reactions? Alternatives? He'll have to buy the amp. If this is a good package any recommendations for a quality amp to pair with this? I really apppreciate your help! |

Silver Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 350 Registered: Sep-05 | you can get this for about 50 cheaper, in ebay using a seller indoaudio. That other store will not replace/warranty blown speakers, the box is 60 and the subs are 240. |

Dizzave Unregistered guest | That box looks alright for a 1st subwoofer. For amps- JL, Orion, JBL and many others are all nice. You should look for an amp that can put out 800-1000w @1ohm for best result. A used JBL 1200.1 would be my choice prolly. |

Dizzave Unregistered guest | Found one with a Buy it Now option for 290$ and another with a resrve of 125$. Heres links to those JBL amps @ ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/JBL-GTO1201-1-1200-WATT-MONOBLOCK-AMPLIFIER-NEW-04-AMP_W0QQi temZ5840361015QQcategoryZ18797QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

Bronze Member Username: Southern_bassJacksonville, Florida U.S. Post Number: 23 Registered: Dec-05 | go with the alpine type r...never saw anyone who's been dissapointed |
|
Silver Member Username: RhasslerGilford, NH Post Number: 450 Registered: Dec-04 | yeah I second Rovins responce with the 2 12" type R's, they would be loud and sound good. |
|
Silver Member Username: RhasslerGilford, NH Post Number: 451 Registered: Dec-04 | ooo my b, i though you said 12" instead of 10", i'd still go with 12"s though |

Bronze Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 89 Registered: Nov-05 | Especially being you said sound quality is important. That is pretty mucb non-existing with the L5s. Type Rs are a great all around sub. Far as the amp goes, you'd be in the same boat, 500RMS to each. Could get 1 RESX18" for $265.. build a monster box to specs.. be quite a good choice. Can't go wrong with the Type Rs if your just going to get a prefab box though. |

Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 310 Registered: Aug-05 | Mike you are not a good father if you dont buy him TWo 12 inch type R's an atleast a solid 1000RMS amp, you cant tease him with the subs then make him go out an find his own amp, a good father would buy the amp an the subs but tell him hes on his own with the boxes an wires an what not |

|
Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 312 Registered: Aug-05 | But yes the guys a good father, i dont know many fathers that would buy theyre sons, 'annoying boom boxes' which is what most people over 30 see large expensive stereo systems as .. i dont even know many fathers that will do much more then buy you a starter for ur car because urs went out an ur strapped for cash |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 3742 Registered: Jul-05 | Matbe thats y he's getting his son 10s instead of 12s or 15s so that he won't annoy the heck outta him while both of them are in the car - lol Mike Forsberg : a pair of 12" 1242d Alpine type R even in a sealed box powered by a good amp like RF 10001bd amp for ex would be a very decent setup that u can find on ebay 4 cheap . I do own a pair of those subs so i'm rec it based on experience - sounds really nice/clean & loud too ...... |
|
Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 317 Registered: Aug-05 | you can probably get 2 of those subs for like 275 after shipping but that amp is going to be a little over 400 bucks so thats out of his price range |
|
Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 318 Registered: Aug-05 | Even if he went with Hifonics it would cost him 200 for an amp with enough power so it would still be about 125 over what he wants to spend |

Gold Member Username: Mikechec9Http://www.cardomain.c... Post Number: 1810 Registered: May-05 | i agree hifonics would be an awful choice. my suggestion: references for the current model: http://www.drdetailshop.com/D1100DDBDrags.htm http://www.carreview.com/cat/car-audio/amplifiers/DEI/PRD_112372_1806crx.aspx 90 days is plenty to tell the value of a refurb, imo. |
