Silver Member Username: ThelonewolfPost Number: 149 Registered: Jul-05 | really? what would you suggest then? for this set up all I want is to get a good clean full range of sound, high quality sound... lowest price possible. |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Es DEALER, GA USA Post Number: 2323 Registered: Mar-06 | Really depends on your budget, music taste, and car. Are you looking for subs and amp only? Kevin |
|
Silver Member Username: ThelonewolfPost Number: 150 Registered: Jul-05 | yes sub and amp only, music huge variety, from punk to hardcore, country to hip hop, all over... Budget cheap as possible, thats all. |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Es DEALER, GA USA Post Number: 2324 Registered: Mar-06 | Well, how cheap is cheap? Remember, you get what you pay for. Kevin |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rI compensate... Post Number: 8633 Registered: Jul-06 | Eclipse makes pretty good subs. Before Kevin beats me to it...I could sell you a 12'' Eclipse sub in a Q logic sealed enclosure that is I believe...1.75 cu ft. I won't bullsh1t you and tell you that it's LOUD but it adds a little kick to the sub-stage that is needed. Sounds clean that's for sure. |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Es DEALER, GA USA Post Number: 2325 Registered: Mar-06 | Rob, you got the old Eclipse or the new ones? Kevin |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rI compensate... Post Number: 8634 Registered: Jul-06 | It's not the new ones. It's the TC made one I believe and has a 12 spoke basket. The model is SW7200(I think, it's a 7k series). |

Silver Member Username: ThelonewolfPost Number: 153 Registered: Jul-05 | im not looking for super loud, i dont know how much i want to spend yet. all i want is to feel the music, get full range of sound and sound good, as good as possible. ~Ricky |
|
Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Es DEALER, GA USA Post Number: 2327 Registered: Mar-06 | AH, ok. In that case no problem. Like I said the new ones suck pretty bad. TC made are pretty good subs. Kevin |

Silver Member Username: ThelonewolfPost Number: 157 Registered: Jul-05 | a bit loud yes, but i had some cheap mtx thunder 10 in subs that you could "feel" it but they were not all THAT loud... course loud for me may be different, i do dj on the side... |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 10354 Registered: Jun-04 | If your going with Robs sub id recommend the alpine m500 there is one on ebay for 153 shipped. Or if you want to spend a little more for cleaner power you could go for this kicker 750.1 shipping prices seem cheap and the amp is $150. The kicker 750.1 is under rated. Some have birth sheets claiming 900 rms. You would just set the gain with a digital multimeter to the power amount you want. http://www.consumerdepot.com/products.asp?id=06ZX7501R&referer=google Heres the eclipse sub specs. http://www.eclipse-web.com/sw7000/sw7200.html |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rI compensate... Post Number: 8658 Registered: Jul-06 | I have to weigh the box and sub but I guessed around 60 pounds for the UPS site and that gave me a shipping cost of around 40 bucks. I got the thing at a steal so I'll pass the savings. I'm only looking to get 100 bucks for it plus the cost of shipping, no, it's not beat up and it works. I also have plenty of references on the web 100 percent positive feedback on forums and Ebay. I'll get a more accurate shipping quote in a bit. |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rI compensate... Post Number: 8660 Registered: Jul-06 | Bruce, that depends on what sub and how much power you're putting to it. In case you don't already know this...plexi-glass enclosures are usually extremely expensive. There was a member on here who paid $2,000 for his plexi enclosure for his Earthquake HoleeS 15'' subwoofer. I believe it was 1'' thick. Thinnest I would go is 1/2'' thick and that's on a small sub. It also has to support the weight of the sub. |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 17996 Registered: Jun-06 | Plexi is very strong and when it's 3/4" or thicker it can feel like steel. The tricky part about it though is a means of securely bonding it without it looking like Frankenstein. With full sheets going for $800+ like Rob said it's PRICEY to say the least. Plexi for windows in a box is a much simpler/affordable way to use the stuff. Even if you calculate everything out and have the factory precut all your pieces it can break your heart when you drill too close to an edge and snap a corner off with a screw. You think to yourself "Damn, that was a $75 panel". |
