Bronze Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 32 Registered: Mar-06 | what would be the best set up. 1 15" eclipse titanium, 2 12" treo tsx, or 2 12" sx? looking for a sql driver and i can power them all sufficiently. i have room for about 5 cu ft box. |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 2754 Registered: Aug-05 | i personally would choose the TSx's. very loud subs...and they sound very good imo. i haven't heard an Eclipse Titanium...or an SX. |
|
Bronze Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 34 Registered: Mar-06 | i would get the sx's because they are super loud and with good sound quality |
|
Bronze Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 35 Registered: Mar-06 | from what i have heard about re's on other threads everyone seems to think that re's are built very well and the sx are known for getting loud. |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 2757 Registered: Aug-05 | from the way you talk it sounde like you are recommending them to yourself. |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 2758 Registered: Aug-05 | i don;t understand why people ask for opinions about 2 or three subs, and then try to defend one brand while everybody gives their opinions. not trying to start arguing, just trying to decipher your comments. lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 36 Registered: Mar-06 | lol, its just that the only ones i've really heard about are re subs. |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 2759 Registered: Aug-05 | don t get me wrong, the RE subs are nice. but their are other subs out their that perform at just the same level. the reason RE got so much attention for the longest time, and apparently still get it, lol, is b/c their subs are relatively cheap for the performance and reliability/durability you get from them. |

Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 545 Registered: Jan-06 | that statement isn't always true you need to look at specs and all first. IMO, i'd invest in one Stereo Integrity Mag 15 and call it a day. The Eclipse is nice but I thought is was as good as its hyped to be. The SX are nice on SQ and has some good output. Having two will help. |

Bronze Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 64 Registered: Mar-06 | the havocs only go down to 32 hz. i want some really loud deeeeep bass, not high bass that booms. |
|
Silver Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 704 Registered: Jan-06 | Really loud deep bass then you are not gonna get it out of those subs, need some EXCURSION! Try a new 06 XXX, a Treo SSX or CSX. Notice how I say a as in one, that is all you have room for unless you went with 12's, 5cf of space isn't gonna cut it. Polo.. |

Bronze Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 65 Registered: Mar-06 | i'm down with the new XXX!!!! all i need is a 2500w amp, $750 for the 72 pound sub, a double mdf 8 cu ft box with a brace probably(which i can't fit), super ho alternator, deep cycle battery, about 11 layers of dynamat and i'd be set! All on a $900 budget! peice of cake. |

Bronze Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 67 Registered: Mar-06 | you don't have to get all anel an@l at me for making a joke. now i have heard that 2 12" alpine r's will get just as loud as the sx with just as good as sound quality, so now i have kind of ruled out re. i'm just expressing my amazement on how serious of a system upgrade the new XXX would be over most other subs. |

Bronze Member Username: NztunezNelsonNew Zealand Post Number: 35 Registered: Feb-06 | 50 suggestions later and the final answer is that they all will sound good IF you do a good job of installing them and run them off an appropriately powered amp. They all should make your ears ring nicely. It's a good bet that only a handful of people here have ever heard all 3 of those you suggested and very doubtful they've heard them all with the same install specs so it's a moot point anyway really. Get what your gut tells you and install them and enjoy...if they suck...rip them out and sell em and try something else. They are all respected brands so unless you are really fussy they should all be good. |

I don't know where you heard that. To make type r's as loud as Sx's you'd have to majorly overpower them while keeping rms on the sx's, and this would only be in competition where you would tune your box over and over until its perfect. Most people who set up their systems dont take the time to make boxes good enough to make type r's = sx's. I'm not saying Sx's are simply amazing subs. I run two SX 12s on a KX2500.1 and I'm completely happy. I don't even look at upgrading it. I think with that setup you'd be very, very suprised. AND, If you are planning on getting a new xxx, thats just as much power as two SX need. You're looking at ~2.2-2.8k watts for both setups. So the electric upgrades arent all that you are making them out to be. Plus, 5ft^3 is about what you need for the SXs. My box is like 5ft^3 net size. |

Bronze Member Username: TheweaselPost Number: 82 Registered: Mar-06 | when my freind was at an installer they had just put in 2 12" type r's into a 4.5 cu ft box tuned to 30hz. he said that that was louder than 1 re sx 15", not 2 12". they each had 800w rms going to them and they can easily handle that, ask rovin. |

Silver Member Username: Sw9152Michigan Post Number: 294 Registered: Feb-06 | i have a 15 eclipse ti, but i have not heard the other 2 on you list. it gets really loud and has good sq, the only problem i had is that it is actually 1500wrms not 750 like eclipse-web.com says so i had to get a bigger amp after i bought the sub. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7193 Registered: Jul-05 | Well ya i can vouch 4 my 2 Rs anytime day or night - yes there r better subs but very few in the price range that can beat it . Very loud & CLEAN low bass - there r a few ppl here on this forum who wants 2 diss them prolly cause they heard a bad install with a crappy amp . I had on my pair a MB Quart 1000wrms @ 1ohm amp & with a 3" pvc ported 1.65 cuft box tuned around 35Hz , they had my steeering column shaking in my ride .... https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/189456.html |
