yea mixing subs cuz i cant win another infinity.. this is my temprary system... i bought the legacy before i knew how garbage they were... but how much of a differnce can it make... so ur saying i wont b hittin 130 dbs?.. i dont have a job and soon as i do im pretty sure i can get 250 out of my setup and have only 300 in it .. so for a few months this will have to work. what subs would u go with for 150$ shipped.. i think i honestly did decent on the sub part but yea i admit the amp was probaly a waste all though i did have it hooked up to my freinds alpine type rs new 1's 10" 2 of them and they pounded them aloooot louder then his 600 watt kenwood the amp wasnt cheap either he paid more for it then i did

u could have went to circus city and got those infinity subs for buy one get one free so about $100 then u could have got a great amp on ikesounds viper 1200d (puts out 1200rms@1 ohm) for 125 and still had 75 for wires,etc..

Also be very very careful when mixing subs. Did u make sure there both the same vc configs?? This will also cause sound cancellation so it will not be as loud as if u had 2 of 1 brand.

i like there perfect series, everthing else is kinda so so, also they are sq subs but they will give u a nice bump and sound nice.

Also if u email the seller and tell them u cant pay they will more than likely report u or give u a negative. The easiest thing to do is to start a new account and start over.

Also never state max ratings there worthless

perfects are much better than the infinities your looking at but if you want something cheap buy a ascendandt audio 12 they are only 75 bucks plus shipping on ascendants site and they will not need alot of power and kill the infinity your bidding on

go with the infinities, throw em in a sealed box,(i told my boy to unplug his q-logic box for his infinities cuz i thought it would be better)but they started grindin,bad idea, those infinities also hit lowerer then most subs,lows & ports dont mix in my book,and u dont need 1000w per infinity,they are known for sounding good even when underpowered,take my word kid

Sean, the AA Assassins are $95.

They do kill most subs you can buy for $150.

They eat CVR's alive in my opinion, but I think they can take more than 350W RMS...And that's in my sealed box...

No, not the wrong post. Read Sean's post above, he's reffering to the Assassins, but he said they're $75 instead of $95.

you should buy a prefab box off ebay for 2 12"s sealed... it will be only like $50 shipped and thats only a little more than you would be getting for materials + labor.

I got the two infinities for 100 from Circuit City a month or so ago. I love them. Put the two of them in a sealed box and powered it with an Audiobahn A8002T. Each subs getting 400RMS and they are rated for 300RMS. They hit very clean and loud. I don't have a ton to compaire them to, but I love them. It seems after 2 weeks they have "broken in" and sound amazing. Got my mirror vibrating all over the place on the low bass songs, and my live rock sounds great.
Hope this helps
