Silver Member Username: TheweaselSteamboat springs, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 283 Registered: Mar-06 | it cost 20 bucks at my place, but he also let me use one of their amps. my 15" arsenal is overpowering my bose stock components, but they only have 17wrms going to them. that havoc will porb overpower them a lil on some songs, unless you can have like 100w rms running to each component |

Im leaning towards 32. anyone got input? well congrats on your system, im guessing you are going for SQ right? and why not some really low, loud SQ at that?hehe |

Silver Member Username: TheweaselSteamboat springs, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 287 Registered: Mar-06 | it's not a 2005 acura tl, its a 2001. i'm not sure why i put 2005, lol. the arsenal is a great sub. when i put on music at about half volume it fills out the music really nicely and is not boomy at all. but when i put it on high volume it rattles and shakes everthing in the car. it also hits SO hard on low frequency songs like rompe, beats for my van, late nite tip, grillz, when we ride on our enimies, wild motherfackers, and especially blueberry yum yum. this little air freshner on my review mirror moves all over the place. i guess the only down side to it would be that it doesn't play high bass really loud. i don't like really loud boomy high bass anyway so it works out for me, but anything above 55 hz is just like anyother sub, only with better sound quality. also i have the 15" which as a resonant frequency of like 23hz. the 12" might be much better especially if yoou tune it to the suggested 35hz. |
