What subs for an SQL system on a budget?
|
New member Username: Ryan166Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-08 | I want a SQL system on a budget (under $600 for subs, amp, box?). It does not have to be ridiculously loud, but semi-loud while sounding good. I listen to rap and hip-hop. I'm leaning towards sealed to save space, save money, and improve SQ. I drive a 98 subaru impreza. x2 Alpine Type-R x1 JL 13W3V3 x2 JL 12W3V3 x1 RE SE12 x2 RE SE12 x1 RE SE15 Do you guys like any of these sealed options? Or do you have any better ideas? Thank You! |

But I havent heard the se only the re entry level I own and it doesnt seem to have much output above 50 hz. Also the 12w6 is a much better sub than the w3. Ive heard both. You can get a jl 12w6 for 314.99 shipped. http://cgi.ebay.com/JL-AUDIO-12W6v2-12-W6-v2-CAR-AUDIO-SUBWOOFER-NEW-SUB_W0QQitemZ200256252085QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200256252085&_trkparms=39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A15|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 |

If you just want a little bass, you would be fine. Try a ~1000-1200wrms 1ohm stable amp w/ 1 DVC4ohm SE12 in ~1cuft. You can always add a second sub if it is not loud enough. The build will be very easy, you can just get a half sheet of 3/4" MDF. A quick sealed box something like, 12.5"x12.5"x18" would be as easy as it gets. |
