What are the loudest subs?
|
Bronze Member Username: KenwaPost Number: 15 Registered: May-04 | I have stepped up a little bit in budget and now plan on 2 15"s, I want these subs to be really loud and still sound decent. Cost doesnt really matter, just as long as its loud. I have been told to get eclipse titanium series, MTX thunder 9500, or pioneer premier 5000SPL. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |
|
anon Unregistered guest | Eclipse is very good. MTX is alrite, Pioneer is not nearly the best. Go with the eclipse titaniums or my personal favorite Elemental design 15 a's |
|
i know nothing Unregistered guest | um jauggernauts not sure exactly how spelled they come in 15's and are tested up to 3000 watts each and can go higher is willing to try they cost about 700 bucks each and i reccomend getting 2 3000watt 3 channel amps u will blow ur windows out with this becareful |

Bronze Member Username: Sploosh56Post Number: 86 Registered: May-04 | Just to be different try Fusion Jonah Lumo subwoofers. They are loud as hell but the SQ is a bit lacking. If you want the SQ and SPL then go for the Eclipse Titainium Series but be prepared to spend some $Money$ |

Bronze Member Username: AlpinepowerCanada Post Number: 50 Registered: Jun-04 | Disagree on Fusion puke green technology. The subs being reccommended to you are competition style subs, the eclipse will be your best bet for sound quality, competition subs dont care about how they sound just as long as noise is made, Generally if u ask someone with comp subs 2000 watts plus what song they are playing, their response will be Song? |

Silver Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 290 Registered: May-04 | Actually, RE X.X.X. have very good sound quality, and were designed for SQ. SPL is just a benefit. 2 15's aren't great for SQ, anyway. Other considerations are Image Dynamics ID Max (fantastic sound quality), JL 13W7, the Eclipse recommended above, and Adire Audio Brahmas. |

Bronze Member Username: GermanguyPost Number: 42 Registered: May-04 | 15" ground zereo gzpw - special edition it can take 10.000 real watts rms. and I'm talking just ONE sub. the standard edition can ONLY handle 4.500 watts rms. you can hook up 4 amps to the sub, and you gotta have real good amps that push 2.500 rms each. this baby IS gonna destroy your car !!! |

Bronze Member Username: KenwaPost Number: 16 Registered: May-04 | Is there a good website that wont rip me off that i can find resonant engineering and image dynamics subs at? |

ThatGuyYouKnow Unregistered guest | Hey GermanGuy GroundZeros have been out of bisness of the USA but if you wanna pay Huge S/H charges you can buy them from the UK, and hes right about the RMS ratings, too bad there not in the US anymore... |

Silver Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 302 Registered: May-04 | Ground Zeros are very good, but I stray away from needing to put close to 10,000 RMS to a sub. 1,000 is plenty for most if the sub is of good quality (not Audiobahn's 1000W, for example). Kenny, the ID max only comes up to a 12", but will outperform many fifteens and retain fantastic SQ. The only authorized internet retailer for ID is www.sounddomain.com I can't find any online retailers for RE X.X.X subs, I can't remember but I don't think they authorize internet sales, unless you try ebay. Go to their site www.respl.com and it should have a dealer find. Two RE 15's in a good ported box would probably hit in the range, much more than I would push, or listen to, anyway. The Eclipse Titanium Series come in 15" and also have great sound quality. They also don't authorize internet sales. |

Anonymous | jon, how would you compare the id to the brahma. 12 and 15? |

Anonymous | i read about the ground zero sub and it says it has a max excursion of 75 mm. WOW!!! www.ground-zero-audio.com/en/plutonium.html |

Bronze Member Username: GermanguyPost Number: 44 Registered: May-04 | @thatguyyouknow do you know why ground zero went out of business in the US? they manufacture right here in germany and won nearly everything you can imagine (subwoofers only). also their amps are not bad, but the subs are ranking over the JL W7-series over here. first I thought that they are identical with eclipse, since their design & structure are very similiar. on the german translation of their website they advertise their US-roots, which they don't mention on the english page. confusion, would be nice if someone knows more about them. heres one competition review of the smaller 12" against the JBL, GZ it's everybodys darling at them moment, because it sells for around 400 US$ in Germany.  sorry, takes a minute to load |

Silver Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 312 Registered: May-04 | The Brahma 15 will have more SPL than an ID 12, Brahma 12 and ID 12 will be close to equal (Brahma has a tad more X-max, ID has a bit more surface area). As far as SQ, I like ID Maxxes a tad better. |
|
Bronze Member Username: KenwaPost Number: 17 Registered: May-04 | Jon, I looked at the ID Max and it seems like they would be very nice subs, how would they compare with eclipse titaniums. Another option would be an MTX thunder 9500, how do those stack up to other subs? |
|
Silver Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 351 Registered: May-04 | Id Maxxes are pretty much a toss up with the Titaniums, I'm running Titaniums right now, but I'm about to order two ID Maxxes myself, I like the SQ better. ID Max is my new favorite all around sub. I had only heard them once before, and I thought I liked Titaniums the most, but after my friend got some and I heard them for more than a couple of minutes, I changed my mind about the Eclipses and liked the ID Max a lot more. The sound quality will blow you away, very nice. SPL is also great. Read reviews on them and you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm not really a fan of MTX 9500s, or any of MTX's subs, actually, they make great class D amps for people on a budget. I like the sound quality of both the ID Maxxes and Eclipse Titaniums better than the 9500. The SPL of the 9500 isn't all they make it out to be, either, you'll see the W7 comparison on their website, in reality the 13W7 puts out more SPL than the 9500. |

Bronze Member Username: KenwaPost Number: 19 Registered: May-04 | Im really not a fan of JL W7s at all, i have heard them, and i still dont like them, But i think i will go with eclipse titaniums, i definetly want at least 15s so would i be better off with 2 15 inch regular titaniums or one 18 inch pro? |
|
Silver Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 355 Registered: May-04 | I guess you're going for SPL, the 18 pro would hit a little harder. The two 15s would sound better. 18's just are huge and don't have a lot of responsiveness, they're usually strictly SPL. |
|
Bronze Member Username: KenwaPost Number: 20 Registered: May-04 | can you recommend an amp to push the 18 pro with? |
|
Silver Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 360 Registered: May-04 | You're gonna spend a lot. The sub is over $1200 and takes 3000W RMS. How much can you spend? |

New member Username: AlextoyChicago, Illinois Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-04 | you can try the power acoustic fubr series i own two 12's 1800 watts each there to loud whith a 1600 2ch amp power acoustic gothic series |
|
Bronze Member Username: KenwaPost Number: 22 Registered: May-04 | Jon, I can spend whatever but i want to make sure its the loudest anyone around here has ever heard, so i want the best of everything. Sorry it took so long for the respond. |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 3398 Registered: Dec-03 | Jon, what size are your Ti subs, and how much would you want for em? I might be interested in taking em off your hands for the right price. Let me know and I can get a hold of ya off-forum about it. |
