Bronze Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 51 Registered: Jun-07 | ur only getting 1 sub? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 2941 Registered: Jul-06 | Type R would be the right choice....... square kickers sound like crap. " i also got a vented box " It better be built for the sub....... if it's prefab you can throw it out right now. A prefab box can make the best sub in the world sound like crap. The box matters much more than the sub that's in it. |
|
Bronze Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 55 Registered: Jun-07 | how big of a sub are you getting? 10, 12, or 15? |

Silver Member Username: LongbluesquidPost Number: 155 Registered: May-06 | Type R's ill say L7 are mjore for spl |

Silver Member Username: TheweaselSteamboat springs, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 735 Registered: Mar-06 | l7 for hip hop it'll hit harder and lower, but won't sound as good. but for hip hop all most people want is LOUD. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16Post Number: 410 Registered: May-07 | Not tru...If you can hear what there sayin there is no point then..Hip Hop is for the lyrics Type R |
|
Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 455 Registered: Nov-06 | 99.9% of my 5000 songs are rap and I want sq as well as havin it loud. I only have the newest jeezy for the bass. Most of the time I just like listening to some Heavy D, Rakim, 2pac, Mac Dre, Wu Tang etc. I turn down the bass on some of this stuff because my sub overpowers the vocals and those dope a$s whiney westcoast synths. Get the Type-R. |
|
Bronze Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 58 Registered: Jun-07 | Has anyone heard the type X in person, those subs just look flat-out badass. Didn't chad lee have a pair of those back in the day? |
|
Silver Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 570 Registered: Nov-06 | i would go with the L7 i own two and can tell you they don't sound like crap and get really loud but its all in the install even a type R in a sh!tty instal will sound like Sh!t |
|
Gold Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 1173 Registered: Jun-04 | type x's are sq subs ... on paper but ideally sound quality is subjective .. if it sounds good to you then go for it ... l7s are great budget spl subs ... ne one whos says differently doesnt know about car audio ... type r's can also get loud in the right application ... either way your not gonna hear that much of a difference with power ur running ... whatever you do get an enclosure built for the woofer ... you will regret it if you dont ... |
|
Bronze Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 14 Registered: Jun-07 | whats prefab??? yea i got a vented box. and yea im only getting one subwoofer thats all i can afford right now haha im only 17 and this is like my first system. if anyone wants to help me out im all ears... the sub is a ten inch. i plan on getting another by july though |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4551 Registered: Feb-06 | prefab is one already made, like the kind you see sitting on the floor of audio shops, and cc and bb stores. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 15 Registered: Jun-07 | oooo so your saying i should get one custom made? well idk i got mine off of ebay for like 50 and it looked pretty nice there. is that prefab? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 16 Registered: Jun-07 | the box is also lke 1.75 cubic whatever idk??? lo lthat good for the type r? |
|
Silver Member Username: SheriffPost Number: 461 Registered: Jan-07 | 1.75 cubic ft is a little big for 1 10" Type R. I would recommend having a custom enclosure built for the sub. I could make one for you cheap. |
|
Gold Member Username: JblanfordPost Number: 1248 Registered: Oct-06 | have someone build you a custom box... Logan Phil- http://www.woodlawncabinetry.com/ www.teamtoxicbass.com www.fishercustoms.com they all have reasonable prices... but please don't buy a prefab box |

Bronze Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 23 Registered: Jun-07 | holy s*** i dont got 250 for a box dog lol imy budget is like 60 at most |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4556 Registered: Feb-06 | $60? build it yourself. there's box builders here that'll hep you out i'm sure. |
|
Silver Member Username: SheriffPost Number: 467 Registered: Jan-07 | I could do 1 for $60 + shipping. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 25 Registered: Jun-07 | 60 including shipping is all i can afford because i still have to buy my amp this weekend |
|
Bronze Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 26 Registered: Jun-07 | ill just see how this box from ebay sounds and if its bad ill def. hit u up for a custom one for 60 plus shipping |
|
Bronze Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 63 Registered: Jun-07 | josh, lol i built this one yesterday and finished it today. Its a custom 1.25 cubic feet enclosure at 32Hz. I can go for $80 shipped. I have $40 in supplies, so only $40 for labor + shipping.. you really wont beat that, and I remember when I got my box off ebay I paid $50 and it was a prefab, and made my kicker comps sound aweful. I put them in a custom enclosure, and I was shocked by the difference. My box is already carpeted and ready to ship. Here are pix so you know what you're getting.   |

Bronze Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 66 Registered: Jun-07 | "it hass like the terminal for the wires in already? if thats what its even called lol if so that sounds really good and i wana buy... is it sealed slotted ported???" Thanks for your interest. I get the terminals in hopefully monday if USPS is on time, and I will install them upon arrival, seal them up and take more pictures for you to see. It is ported, which will increase the spl of your type r. I have 2 type R's in a ported box, and they slam! Volume 9 I get roof flex |

My account on ebay is wheeler8921. Just send me $20 via paypal to j_c_wheeler8@hotmail.com, and it's yours till friday. |

Gold Member Username: JohnfiacA-ToWn, Kingkong ain... I got Chuck ... Post Number: 3065 Registered: Mar-06 | R's... If you heard the kickers next to the R's both in GOOD boxes.... you wouldnt look at kicker again. You hear alot of good about them because so many noobs have them and like to try and talk them up for being budget spl cr@p as all it is good for... rap\hiphop you want SQL (LOUD, LOW, and GOOD SQ) |
|
Bronze Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 59 Registered: Jun-07 | nah im just going to wait on the one from ebay and see how it is. if its bad then ill get your box if its still around. |
|
Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 110 Registered: Jun-07 |  I thought you were a serious buyer. Its a prefab off ebay, you might think it sounds good if its your first system, but if you compare the 2 side by side, you will be blown away, ask anyone here and they will tell you the same thing. Anyway, your money, your decision, just trying to help you out. And it prolly won't be around long. |

Bronze Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 61 Registered: Jun-07 | does paypal except atm cards? |
|
Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 111 Registered: Jun-07 | lol, idk i have mine linked to my bank account. Do you have a paypal account? If not then either get one, or send me a money order, it takes a few days to make a paypal account because you have to activate it and such. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 62 Registered: Jun-07 | nah nvm i cant s*** my card isnt activated yet... sorry man i did really wanna buy it but i cant just throw this one away. everyones to chep where i live to no1 will buy it |
|
Bronze Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 63 Registered: Jun-07 | ill prolly be getting my box on wednesday and hook it up thursday... if it is bad ill def. buy urs if its still around |
|
Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 112 Registered: Jun-07 | ebay your box like Dalton said. It's worth a shot, but if you change your mind and see that that prefab if junk, which you will probably find out quick and my box is gone lol. I bet fisher will make you one for only $140.00! It will be of utmost quality for real. (no sarcasm there) But good luck. |
|
Silver Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 400 Registered: Mar-07 | custom and built to sub specs > prefab built on whatever is easier and cheaper to mass produce. Charlie did a real nice job on that box, $80 is a steal with carpet, shipping, and all. |
|
Silver Member Username: CriedErie, PA US Post Number: 113 Registered: Jun-07 | Thanks Nick. After I put $80, i was thinkin $h!t, I just robbed myself, but im suprised it's not gone. I just wanted to get my name out and show people what I have to offer. |
|
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacA-ToWn, Kingkong ain... I got Chuck ... Post Number: 3075 Registered: Mar-06 | josh, DONT GET PREFAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can make 1 10 sound louder and better then 4 12's in the proper enclosure (assuming the 12's were in improper enclosures or prefab) the box seriously makes the difference, if you get a "cheapo"box that isnt meant for the sub, there is no point of having the sub... a high tuned box is likly to blow your combing off you sub from reaching its XMAX alot easier as well.... Just so you know what each are..... LOW = Earthquake type shaking  Higher tuning = Vibrations |
|
Bronze Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 64 Registered: Jun-07 | i know... i reallly dont want to have this boxat all but i already bought this stupid s***... charlie i really want that box. its perfect for my sub. i just need time and money because after buying my amp sub wires dynomat and box im broke. i dont have 80 right now lol i make 7.75 an hour. if that bpx is still around by this weekend though i could def. buy it |
