Silver Member Username: IronslaveOffutt AFB, Nebraska U.S.A. Post Number: 252 Registered: Sep-05 | Dual's bandpass from best buy... my 1st system.. worse decision of my bass life... i didnt know much about em except i wanted bass... they were the cheapest deal i could find... the subs were 2 ohm wired but labeled as 4 ohms... and all the amps i tried on it were not 2 ohm mono stable and i couldnt figure out for the life of me what was wrong with it.... that and sony Xplode amps.. they all sucked... it was driving me nuts... it was too boomy it had that thump sound... i reused the bandpass box with all the subs i bought and they all sounded like azz in it... when i got to this site it changed it all.. |
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 2797 Registered: Oct-05 | i did learn a lot from this forum. heck i learned everything from this forum. i had my audiobahn wired to a .5 ohm load. i found out how to properly wire my subs from reading and asking questions here. |

Bronze Member Username: Sw9152Post Number: 84 Registered: Feb-06 | i over heard a kid at my school bragging to some other kids about his sweet system in his car so i walked up to him and asked him what he had. he said he had 2 10" mtx subs. after school i met up with him and said i would like to check out his sweet system. so we walked over to his beat up minivan. i waited outside the car while he turned his stereo on and i started to hear a wierd noise that sounded nothing like what i expected, so i asked to see his subs. it turned out that he had 2 10" road thunder subs in some wierd looking sealed box made of plywood powered by a 400w jensen amp. i laughed and got my car, pulled up next to him and proceded to show him what bass was with my 15" eclipse ti in a ported box running on 1200w. he couldn't belive how loud and how much different my sub sounded than his. |
Bronze Member Username: Ruthless06Post Number: 32 Registered: Feb-06 | two dual bandpass boxes in a 1990 plymoth acclaim, stock a$s speakers, a sony deck he paid 79 dollars for-retail, and two sony 250 watt MAX AMPS! got loud for what he paid, but sounded like brrrr. and then i installed these two subs in a mitsubishi montero like 3 weeks ago. they subs were called monster something or another. solid black, the surrounded looked like paper, felt like paper. the cone and center was more flexible then the sub with power. he wanted me to hook a mtx thunder 500 amp on it. now it sounded horrible, and looked even worse. i made the install clean, and he was happy. but danm yo, he paid like 60 for the amp and i think 47 for the deck, he coulda spent that and got better subs lol, then installed it himself and i know that kid woulda been happier. but he said he liked it, all that matters to me. a manager at my store has 12 inch insignia 12's in a ported box. it soudned god awful. cant think of anymore bad ones, but im sure there has been worse lol. |
Bronze Member Username: Ruthless06Post Number: 33 Registered: Feb-06 | oh yeah, my first system. a 10w0 bridged on the rear channels of my panasonic hu.... years and years ago... like 3 lol |
Bronze Member Username: ShepyjayOnt Canada Post Number: 74 Registered: Feb-06 | i think the worst system i heard was 15 bass cannons from canadain tire in a chevy sprint running off there own amps about 40 wtts a piece and 2 6x9s just sitting in the kick panels some guy from around the london ont region had this vehicle and it sounded bad my manager at the time came and looked at it laughed and said to me well you can deal with this one cant you. anyway there were wires every where couldnt see the floor cause he ran all of them on top of carpet it took me 2hrs to take it all out and then an 1.5 to put a good one in |
Bronze Member Username: J_baby15Kentucky Post Number: 25 Registered: Feb-06 | Worst ive heard is sittin in my attic right now. 2 15inch subs made by some co. called "shaker". i ran them off my 1200 watt rms amp and they barely beat as hard as the $20 roadmaster 6x9s at walmart. Those SUBS SUCKED. |

Silver Member Username: IronslaveOffutt AFB, Nebraska U.S.A. Post Number: 266 Registered: Sep-05 | LOL Anon!!!!! thats sooo cruel i had a lighting audio once.... the one from walmart.. i stuc it in a banpass box.... it sounded ok but didnt last very long |

Gold Member Username: Southern_bassParis, Tennessee U.S. Post Number: 1880 Registered: Dec-05 | i was sitting at sonic today waiting on my food and all of a sudden i hear this huge boom i was like what the hel did someone wreck lol and then i started hearing bass and when this lil girl gets right by me all you can hear is EVERYTHING ratting..the trunk...and probably everyything else she had on the car it sounded horrible |
Silver Member Username: Goose5714Post Number: 282 Registered: Feb-06 | Worst sounding has to be the rf punch at best buy that someone "punched" and the front was cracked to hell and broken in half. Most ghetto install/subs has to be my friends, walmart amp, old as$ pioneer 12's there the surround is separating from the cone, the outside is cracked and stuff...i just can't explain it wish i had pics, it actually sounded sorta okay but he is lucky they are cluelesss about ohms he probably jsut wired it up and assumed it'd work no matter what. My favorite ones are with kids my age who think its amazing when they can get there trunk to rattle a little from the bass that makes its really loud and a good system to them.... |

Bronze Member Username: Radzer0Post Number: 26 Registered: Jan-06 | Since the name "shaker" came up in this one. Im just selling my shakers. They hit pretty good for what they are. Sold mine for $80 in a bandpass. Id say there the same as sonys. |
Bronze Member Username: Ruthless06Post Number: 40 Registered: Feb-06 | and i take that back, worst system ive ever heard was a tc sounds dj sub, one made for home audio not car audio. the kid traded his 18" mt for it. ran the tc off of a orion 2500d. I mean the sh!t flexed like 3 or more inches. but sounded soooooooooooooooo bad, muddy, distorted, just sounded like someone flapping two of something together, dunno what. it just soudned bad. lol. but he thought the surround and cone were something new cause the guy told him that the sub was better then the xxx's so thats why he traded lol. but yeah, it sounded horrible |
