Silver Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 905 Registered: Sep-06 | stay away from audiobahn, give us a budget and well help. but look at an SSD from ficaraudio.com MUCH better subs |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 12 Registered: Apr-07 | somewhere around 350-400 max for the price of the subs, and the amp around 250-300 max. |

Post Number: 1870 Registered: Feb-06 | You won't be able to run 2000 watts RMS on a stock charging system and since you are on a budget I would just go with an Fi.SSD or Audioque SD 2.5 with a hifonics bx1206d Either that or go with a couple of Digital designs 1512s and that hifonics amp. |

|
New member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 5 Registered: Apr-07 | i have 2 12's with 250 watt hifonics amp in a bandpass box that hits harder than a 12 inch L7 with 1200 watt kicker in ported box. I luv it. never had problems and good quality sound too. |
|
Silver Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 323 Registered: Nov-06 | well unless to be honest with you i dont think 1 12" L7 hits very hard now two is a completely different story but not just one |

|
New member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 7 Registered: Apr-07 | well if you have the money then get 2 L7's. they are great but if you want a great deal get volfenhag. |

Post Number: 1880 Registered: Feb-06 | no... im talking about the dumbass telling people to get volfenhags... and then the other guy agreeing with him, and now this moron telling the kid to pay out the a*s for rockford T1s which pretty much blow for the price. the kid needs to read my post and listen. Get a 15 inch eclipse Ti or TC-3000 and you will get loud and devastate the lows... ask anyone who knows anything. those subs are made for low end, but they get LOUD! |

|
Silver Member Username: Steve_collinsPost Number: 297 Registered: Dec-05 | ok i got a buddy at school named dug and he has the volfenhag 12s and swears they are the loudest subs in the world and would make a religion from them if he could but i showed him my 3512 and he was like wow my stuff sucks as5 now that i heard this. never get them if i were you i would buy a bl or a q and put the extra money on a kicker 1200. this would be a good setup. and i think someone on here has some type rs for sale for like 200 in a box which is not to bad you could check that out |
|
Silver Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16Earth Post Number: 424 Registered: Mar-07 | there not idiots they just think cause a sub is big and looks like a beast means it is or because there trunk was rattling from that sub that means it is good or ummm there Noobe post wh0res lol so thats y there silver or gold and dum |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 15 Registered: Apr-07 | well i am definately not lookin for my trunk to rattle. i do want it loud but i want to prevent the rattle or get rid of it if possible. but i have a hatchback. do subs sounds better in trunks or hatchbacks or is there no difference? |
|
Silver Member Username: Steve_collinsPost Number: 298 Registered: Dec-05 | i would say there louder in hatchbacks from what i have heard |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 17 Registered: Apr-07 | is the sound also clearer too? in hatchbacks. cuz my friend has a 93 tempo which has a trunk and at times it is too rattly and gets a little muffled or blurred (cant think of the word) |
|
Silver Member Username: Steve_collinsPost Number: 299 Registered: Dec-05 | i know what you are talking about and i would say its not cleaner but a better built car sould have less rattles and i you would have to put some dynamat or something to stop that |
|
Silver Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16Earth Post Number: 425 Registered: Mar-07 | hatches usually sound better just like how suvs are really the best cause the subs are open and there is nothing blockin the airflow yea i dont want my trunkle to rattle im doin my car in edead |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 19 Registered: Apr-07 | what exactly is edead? is it easy to apply yourself. and isnt as expensive as dynamat? |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3808 Registered: Feb-06 | alot cheaper than dynamat and works as very well. really easy to apply, just takes some time. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16Earth Post Number: 428 Registered: Mar-07 | yea hwat he^^^^^said but it can sumtimes take a couple of days if ur doin ur hole car as if ur takin ur seats and upholstry carpet and door panels and turnk and blah blah but it is simply peel and the seal but u have to do it a certain way so u dont get bubbles |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 22 Registered: Apr-07 | is there instructions to do it right or video what not. and back to the topic kinda. if i were to get a fi ssd would it be better to get 2 12", 1 12", 1 15". and how big would the box need to be for that. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 24 Registered: Apr-07 | and are the fi ssd's gonna get me to be heard from a block or two away? thats another thing im lookin for. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16Earth Post Number: 429 Registered: Mar-07 | wtf my post didnt show up um yeah they can do that so can the fi bl's and the fi btls 4 sure but that a whole nother story https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154615da1052ff0/shopdata/0030_SSD/product_overview.shopscript go there for box specs it will say also for the sound deadning http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=3&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sounddeadenersho wdown.com%2F&ei=TdsVRoWGHKD-wQKm2PCtCg&usg=__KVY4ZmhEJS-cZLw5ZtBKYtpeDz0=&sig2=j s6NB9XVrONPVIenIeFU_w u gotta read tho around the end or so it says how to apply it |
|
Silver Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 327 Registered: Nov-06 | Reece i was not agreeing with him i know that Volfenhags blow compared to anything else i was just wondering why they are bad i mean for taht price they sound decent but i never suggested him to get those thats why i put "Just wondering" i wouldnt even recommend an L7 let alone a volfenhag |
|
Silver Member Username: Smoke05Tucson, Arizona U.S. Post Number: 257 Registered: Jan-07 | with that budget you could either do, a fi q or bl and a kicker amp to power it up. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 25 Registered: Apr-07 | so what would hit harder? 2 ssd's or 1 q or bl? |
|
Silver Member Username: Smoke05Tucson, Arizona U.S. Post Number: 260 Registered: Jan-07 | 2 ssd.. cone area FTW, the q sound quality FTW |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 27 Registered: Apr-07 | alright and how big would the box have to be? dimensions would be great. |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 118 Registered: May-06 | just get a jackhammer and solve all your problems |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 28 Registered: Apr-07 | ya there would just be a little problem with the price and with the space i have to use. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 29 Registered: Apr-07 | with the ssd's would i want the flatwind coil and/or copper coil? what do each of those do or add to the sub? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 30 Registered: Apr-07 | anyone help me out with those 2 questions? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 33 Registered: Apr-07 | why is this topic not bumping up |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 4601 Registered: Jul-06 | flatwind gives more power handling copper improves sound quality i beieve |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 35 Registered: Apr-07 | so adding both of those for an extra $25 would be a good idea? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 36 Registered: Apr-07 | nvm i just found out u cant get both. so are the ssd's more spl or sq? and would you suggest getting the flatwind or the copper coil? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 4605 Registered: Jul-06 | ssd would probably be more spl than sq altho i havent heard one...i would say go with the flatwind |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 37 Registered: Apr-07 | alright i guess all i need to know is what would be a good amp for 2 of them? and what are the dimensions need for the box? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 4606 Registered: Jul-06 | get 2 dual 2 ohm ssds and get a kicker zx1500.1 2 dual 1 ohm ssds and get a hifonics 1606d 2 dual 1 ohm ssds and get a sundown audio 1500d from kevin at low-hz many more...what kind of car/suv is it? max dimensions? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 38 Registered: Apr-07 | i got a 1991 eagle talon. not sure on max dimensions i should figure that out maybe tomorrow. unless theres a website or somethin. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 39 Registered: Apr-07 | is there going to be a difference in how they sound? if so which set would be better? 2 dual 2 ohm ssds and get a kicker zx1500.1 2 dual 1 ohm ssds and get a hifonics 1606d |
|
Silver Member Username: Thumping_corsicaMi, Mi Unitd states Post Number: 399 Registered: Aug-06 | the zx is a much better amp.. durable.. while the hifonics is more budget.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 41 Registered: Apr-07 | alright as for a box, i am not the building type. so is there a pre-made box that i am able to buy somewhere that is close to what would be good for these subs and my trunk? dont mean to half *ss anything i mean i want the best sound i can get but i am not the building type. |
|
Gold Member Username: Mygame5982I Got Serious Wang H-..., TEXAS US Post Number: 1560 Registered: Jan-06 | man dude dont listen to these guys^^ they dont know ANYTHING..get the audiobahns..all my friends have them...lol too bad i dont hear any sound output from their trunk!! hahah jk dont get audiobahn..it sucks |

|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 44 Registered: Apr-07 | well im not gettin JL's my friend has them and i dont like them on bit. so since i have already decided on the ssd's why not keep on that. "alright as for a box, i am not the building type. so is there a pre-made box that i am able to buy somewhere that is close to what would be good for these subs and my trunk? dont mean to half *ss anything i mean i want the best sound i can get but i am not the building type." |

New member Username: WrencherBrighton, Illinois USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-07 | Hello all, I'm new here and fairly new to sound systems as well. I cannot believe anyone would recomend Volfenhag brand anything even to their worste enemy. Freinds don't let freinds buy crap like that! Seriously I would also not recomend the Hifonics, the last good Hifonics was the generation 10. If you want a great amp at low cost go for the Zed Audio Minilith at $229 you can't beat it for quality. 600w @1 ohm will power those SSDs just fine and maybe break a window or two in the process. LOL! You can't go wrong with ZED! |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 4618 Registered: Jul-06 | welcome sunny...dont mean to rain on your parade or anything, but i have to disagree...i honestly know nothing of zed audio but 600rms isnt enough power to properly power even 1 ssd...each ssd is rated at 800rms and can take more...many people are giving their 1000 to 1200... and jeremy, talk to logan about building a box for you, much better build quality than a prefab and will be better...good prices and good boxes |
|
Bronze Member Username: Iamabadperson777Post Number: 46 Registered: Apr-07 | alright i will talk to him as soon as i can get a d*mn tape measure to my house to figure out the max dimensions of the box. i just searched for about an hour and found nothing its rediculous. |
|
Silver Member Username: Blazerboy15 $$D wangi... Post Number: 525 Registered: Jun-06 | SSD FTW!!! |
|
New member Username: WrencherBrighton, Illinois USA Post Number: 6 Registered: Apr-07 | That's OK Yanks, who said you could only run one ZED? Just get two of them and bridge them for twice the power! Besides, the 800 watt rating doesn't mean you have to have 800 minimum and Zeds actually put out a lot more than they advertise. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 4628 Registered: Jul-06 | thats a true statement sunny...could get 2 i guess...ive never seen one of these zeds...i might go check them out to see them |
|
New member Username: WrencherBrighton, Illinois USA Post Number: 7 Registered: Apr-07 | Zeds are only available from their website at www.zedaudio.com/products.htmlsite. I highly recomend them if you care about sound quality at all. You have to keep in mind the amps are all underated. I actually came to this website for recomendations for a high quality subwoofer too. Please keep in mind that I put emphasis on sound quality NOT loud. Would these SSDs be something that would appeal to my needs or would you recomend something different for old guys? Also what is the advantage od a DVC over SVC? |
|
Silver Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 809 Registered: Dec-06 | An SSD would be great for what you are looking for and the price is right. The Infinity Perfect and the TC Sounds TC-1000 are a couple more that will have very good SQ. The basic advantage of dual over single voice coils is wiring and impedance flexibility. |
|
New member Username: WrencherBrighton, Illinois USA Post Number: 8 Registered: Apr-07 | Thanks Brad, Thats what I needed. I have a pair of Infinity perfects sitting on the shelf in my garage. I got them to put in my wifes car but they were too deep. I ended up getting some Clarion shallow mount subs for hers and was promptly disapointed. What a waste of money those were. I have to rebuild the custom boxes for her so she can have something decent in hers. I might go for the SSD dvc for my truck, I think it would be perfect since I can only run one sub in it I can use the extra vc to get a little bit more power from the amp to make up for having just one sub. |
