Bronze Member Username: Audio_newbPost Number: 21 Registered: Jul-06 | well its a daily driver, and im upgrading some what from 2 12 cvr's and i meant 1000 watts becasue thats how many watts my amp pushes. Im looking for spl with some SQ its going in my 94 toyota extended cab. I have a wall for 4 12s that im getting from a friend if i do decide to go that route. |

Bronze Member Username: Audio_newbPost Number: 22 Registered: Jul-06 | im keeping the same amp Im really not wanting to spend to much money. I want decent subs that would be better than 2 cvr 12s  Are the Mach 5s any good? |

|
Bronze Member Username: Audio_newbPost Number: 23 Registered: Jul-06 | Audioque Street Duty 2.5 Series These will work for my amp are they any good? Does anyone have any experience with them. If anyone has any 1st hand experience with these please let me know |

Silver Member Username: BigharvPost Number: 229 Registered: Jun-07 | get 6 EHQS 12" from ED lol will cost you like $150 for all of them + shipping |
|
Silver Member Username: BigharvPost Number: 230 Registered: Jun-07 | and they sound pretty nice, and 6 of them would get loud as hell with a nice box. 2 in my tahoe gave me plenty of bump and sounded good. http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_info.php?cPath=92&products_id=183 |
|
Bronze Member Username: Audio_newbPost Number: 24 Registered: Jul-06 | I was thinkin maybe of getting 4 of them. But i was scared if they sounded like crap. So. I dont know really |

Silver Member Username: Loc_outSanta Ana, Ca Resonant Eng... Post Number: 948 Registered: Feb-05 | Why go with 6 sub why not get one or two 15's and call it a day. You might have to upgrade on your amp. What kind of amp do you have? |

I swapped the CVX's out of the custom box for them and threw in the Audioques, and the SQ was better and they sounded louder off less power. |
|
Silver Member Username: BigharvPost Number: 234 Registered: Jun-07 | nah the EHQS sound nice, i'm in no way saying they are a SQ subwoofer but they do sound nice and get pretty loud for 25$ and with 4 of them and that much power they would be loud and a cheap setup. yes there are much better choices but for 25$ each you wont find anything close to them. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Audio_newbPost Number: 25 Registered: Jul-06 | Well the reason i want 4 12s is because of the fact that i could get cheaper subs and be really loud and im wanting to go with 4 250ish watt rms subs 4*250= 1000 and with single voice coil of 4 ohm i could wire them parallell and have a 1 ohm load. My amp is http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3474_MA+Audio+HK1000D.html So i figured that would be pretty perfect, I guess. I might go with the ehqs's though |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 4018 Registered: Jul-06 | "I have a wall for 4 12s that im getting from a friend if i do decide to go that route." What?!Your friend has a wall that fits perfectly in your car just laying around?Did anyone else notice how odd that is? |
|
Silver Member Username: Loc_outSanta Ana, Ca Resonant Eng... Post Number: 952 Registered: Feb-05 | I notice Rob i also notice his stuck on running 4 12's. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Audio_newbPost Number: 26 Registered: Jul-06 | well im not sure whats best thats why im asking. And the wall is nothing more than a 31x31x12 box that will fit inside my truck. Im not stuck on running four 12s i was just wondering what you guys would do with a 1000 watt amp |
|
Bronze Member Username: Audio_newbPost Number: 27 Registered: Jul-06 | Ok I have made a decision Im going with 2 15's Do you guys think I should go with 2 Kicker CVR 15's Or 2 AudioQue 15s |
|
Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 1470 Registered: Jun-06 | Any of the audioque subs would be better than the cvr's imo. Like I said before, I liked my sd2.5's better than my cvx's |

Silver Member Username: Theweasel2 12 FI SSD, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 955 Registered: Mar-06 | if you go with 2 15's they will be sealed i assume. i would go with 2 nice 12's and make it ported and have plenty of port area. take that box and put 4 4" aeroports in it 25" long each for subs look at the audioque or the new arsenals if you feel like you might uprgrade and get another amp you could look at fi ssd's, re sx's, rl-p's and dd 2512 |

Bronze Member Username: Audio_newbPost Number: 28 Registered: Jul-06 | Well here is the thing. Im not wanting to spend all that much but still be loud. I dont know anything about boxes or ports or anything like that. I know a pretty good amount about the subwoofers themselves. I dont care about a few decibles I dont compete or anything. I just want something that is louder than 2 cvr 12s I just need some help before I invest money. Is there that much of a difference between audioque sd 2.5 15s and kicker cvr 15s? |
|
Silver Member Username: Theweasel2 12 FI SSD, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 958 Registered: Mar-06 | yes. cvr's sealed = no bueno |
|
Bronze Member Username: Audio_newbPost Number: 29 Registered: Jul-06 | What if i went ported? \ |
|
Silver Member Username: Theweasel2 12 FI SSD, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 959 Registered: Mar-06 | "take that box and put 4 4" aeroports in it 25" long each" subs- audioque sd2.5 or ascendant audio arsenal if you think you might want louder then save up for another of those amps and look at fi ssd's |
|
Bronze Member Username: Audio_newbPost Number: 30 Registered: Jul-06 | Ok all this is starting to make my brain hurt. I think im just gonna get me a ported box for my cvr 12s and just leave it at that. Im tired of just not knowing, im just looking for something loud, and gain a little braggin rights. Nothing major |
|
Silver Member Username: Theweasel2 12 FI SSD, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 960 Registered: Mar-06 | okay here is what you do take your friends box and put a new faceplate on it and cut out 2 11.125" holes then, cut out 4 6.25" holes on one side of the box then order 4 aero ports http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_info.php?cPath=101&products_id=541 then buy 4 pieces of 4" inner diameter pvc pipe cut them each to 21" attatch the flared ends of the aeroports to the pvc pipes screw and silicone caulk the ports into the 6.25" holes buy 2 12" fi ssd dual 1 ohm with copper coil option. www.ficaraudio.com - go to speakers and the one at the bottom. wire the subs to 1 ohm and enjoy this will be REALLY loud and gain you a lot of bragging rights. not to mention the sound quality will be great too. the lows are amazing. |

Bronze Member Username: Audio_newbPost Number: 31 Registered: Jul-06 | Wow! Your great help. I really do appreciate it. Those subs really dont match my output of my amp. Im fixing to be a full time college student with a mediocre paying job so. Upgrading an amp is the last thing i want to do  |
|
Silver Member Username: Theweasel2 12 FI SSD, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 961 Registered: Mar-06 | i just hooked up my ssd's to a box similar to that today with 550w to each and it is incredible. and i think i only have one of them working correctly and it is still unbelievable. it is fine to power them with that amp, they will still pound, but if you are sure you are never going to upgrade amps and you want to fully power your subs, then look at the audioque sd2.5's |
