Help me decide. So many choices
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam RD, Texas Post Number: 2830 Registered: Mar-07 | Well I've had my alpha for about a year now and decided I want to try something new, as well I enjoy building boxes and this will be a chance to do a sort of "custom/show" box. I was thinking of a 15" but they really just take up a lot of space. So I'm really looking into either a single or dual 10" setup. I don't want to pay much more than $300 for a pair, so if you have any other suggestions, feel free. Right now I'm looking at a pair of Image Dynamic ID10s, a pair of SDC2.5s, a single HDC3, SSA Icon. I was really set on the IDs, but now I'm unsure. I have 1000wrms at 1 ohm (RD1000.1) that I will be using, nothing more. I want SQL. the box will be ported, tuned to 34hz probably (max). Thanks in advance. |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 20655 Registered: Oct-05 | i really think a pair of sound splinter rl-i 10s would be a good choice for you. it would get loud and clean. i know its a bit over your budget but just look at it. it looks awesome. lol.  |

Gold Member Username: JtownTeam RD, Texas Post Number: 2831 Registered: Mar-07 | thanks guys, yeah I was wondering about those, i'll check em on the soundsplinter website and see what they can do for me any other suggestions? |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 3873 Registered: Mar-06 | yes, yo change the subs to 8 ohms, remove the coil assembly, add a few hundreds coils of a very fine copper wire. Enlarge the hole where the coil go to accept the larger coil. re-assembly and there you go. No problem. And for a single, maybe a W7 in a HO box. |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 20657 Registered: Oct-05 | you can buy paul's and another one. btw paul what ohm version do you have? |
|
Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 16409 Registered: Jun-06 | Dual 4ohm. |
|
Diamond Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 20659 Registered: Oct-05 | thats perfect. if he gets another dual 4ohm sub then he can easily wire it to the amp he has. if not the sound splinter, i really like the treo tsx's also. they hit hard and sound clean. i would recomend the treo ssi's but you need a bit more power. |

Gold Member Username: JtownTeam RD, Texas Post Number: 2835 Registered: Mar-07 | how much paul? |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 20663 Registered: Oct-05 | lol paul. thats a good price paul is offering. paul never used it so its brad new and i bet mike from soundsplinter will honor the warranty even though you bought it from paul. assuming you buy the other one from sound splinter. also if you want to view more options, i found this on ebay. its a pair of treo tsx 10s in a treo prefab box. now i know what you are thinking, prefab box? well the treo prefabs are designed and tested for their subs. http://cgi.ebay.com/TREO-ENGINEERING-HOTBOX10-10-TSX-SUB-BOX-2-TSX10-44_W0QQitem Z150242501114QQihZ005QQcategoryZ32823QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |
