New member Username: Volsrule82Post Number: 10 Registered: Sep-06 | So I just sold my subs because they were pieces of crap and too big for my new car, 1995 volvo wagon, but I cant live without the bass. I'm kinda in a tight money spot right now but I need to get something, and I'm not real good with knowing brands. I'd like SPL over SQ, my amp is a pioneer GM5300 380w RMS @ 4 ohms. I know this is an annoying question but I didnt no what to shop for, thanks. |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 4395 Registered: Sep-04 | first thing that came to mind mach 5 audio maw 12.... actually i think they are dual 4 ohm so that wont work. kicker CVRs get loud with not much power in the right enclosure and can be pulled real cheap online. |

Bronze Member Username: Volsrule82Post Number: 15 Registered: Sep-06 | Well I plan on building my own box and I can get a CVR for about $70, I really dont want to spend more than $100 or so |

|
Bronze Member Username: Volsrule82Post Number: 16 Registered: Sep-06 | What does MAW stand for? Never heard of them, would they run well with only 380w RMS? What would be the sound differnce in a 12in and 15in sub. Like if i were to go with a 15in CVR (example) over a 12in, what would be different? |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 1496 Registered: Nov-06 | Should get lower, more efficient. No idea what MAW stands for. They're rated for 350. In a good box, it should satisfy. They only come in D4, though. You could go with a pair of 10s, ported. |

Bronze Member Username: Volsrule82Post Number: 18 Registered: Sep-06 | What would be the best of these: (SPL over SQ, ported box) CVR 12 MAW 12 RE RE 12 Pioneer premier 12 (shallow) Pioneer premier champion 12 and really anything else in that price range |
|
Bronze Member Username: Volsrule82Post Number: 19 Registered: Sep-06 | I thought about two tens but it would have to be a shallow box due to size restraints. Would 2 10's sound better than 1 12? And my amp is 2 channel so 2 10's would be running @ 125w each @ 4 ohm By D4 you mean dual 4 ohm? |
|
Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 1501 Registered: Nov-06 | Yes, dual 4 ohm. You could actually run it at 2 ohms/channel, if you wired each sub in parallel. That should power them alright. There are the eD SQ 10s, which are supposed to be nice, if it has to be really shallow. I like Mach 5 a lot, not only because they make awesome products at ridiculously low prices, but they are located in Canada, so I don't have to deal with extra customs fees. http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_info.php?cPath=1_21&products_id=106 |

Bronze Member Username: Volsrule82Post Number: 20 Registered: Sep-06 | Well if I ran them at 2 ohms/channel wouldnt that create an overall load of 1 ohm? My amp is not 1 ohm stable. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Igor_xxxPost Number: 64 Registered: Sep-07 | if you want to run 2 10's than get some d4's cuz that amp pushes 190x2 rms at 2 ohms http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/Amplifiers/GMSerie s/GM-5300T?tab=B |
|
Bronze Member Username: Volsrule82Post Number: 21 Registered: Sep-06 | I'd kinda rather stick with one 12 to try to keep cost and space down... what about the 12's i listed above? |
|
Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 1504 Registered: Nov-06 | "Well if I ran them at 2 ohms/channel wouldnt that create an overall load of 1 ohm? My amp is not 1 ohm stable." Yeah, but that's only when you have it bridged. In 2 channel mode, it would be the same as using it to drive your front stage, besides the frequencies it's amplifying. |

Bronze Member Username: Igor_xxxPost Number: 65 Registered: Sep-07 | IMO your best choice is one 12 at 4ohm load but from that list i only have heard the shallow pioneer and the champion premier so i cant give you a true review and opinion. |
