Which set up

[VooDoo]

First let me say that I will be running custom boxes for my subs. I have narrowed it down to three sets of subs.

1.) two 10" kicker comp. vr's with a 500w bazooka amplifier. (They will be underpowered but that amp is free to me)

2.) Two 12" kicker comps. with a 2 channel kicker amp and a box, which will be sold off.

3.) Two 12" MTX jack hammers with the 500w bazooka amplifier.

What do you guys think I should do?

[JRiggs]

depends on what kind of music you listen to. 12s will pound a little harder then 10s in 90% of applications but 10s will be tighter and more accurately reproduce sound. both mtx and kicker to me i think banging loud bass not clarity personally i would look into some different brands.

i've had comp (3) vr10s and (2) 12s before, both failed with powered by a jl 500/1
i have heard good things about the new jackhammers so i'd lean towards those out of the 3

since you said custom boxes i'm not even taking into account the loss of room in the trunk
or don't loose much trunk space and do something like this

I have 2 12w6 and a 1000:1 JL amp for sale. I will take $550.00 for all.

[Oceanside A4]

never thought of mounting a box like that, gives me many ideas...

[VooDoo]

jriggs: What other brands would you suggest that have good SQ and are still in the price range of the Kickers or MTX.

Maximus: I do not have the money at the time but I will son. Dont consider me a top priority but I will PM you when I can afford.

V2s?

I have two 12" Alpine type E's in a sealed box im selling for dirt cheap. $250. Also have a single 12" JL W1 im selling for $50, which i could make you a box for.

[JRiggs]

i'm guessing your in the 500 total package range, if your looking for max boom with sound quality look into doing just one 12 and spend the same amount of money.

i'm a fan of JL Audio (w6 and w7s) and Rainbow audio (haven't heard one i didn't like)

for amps i like alpine, jl audio, and rainbow

i say #2, kickers are good subs. i have a friend back home who had one 12 kicker comp sub (squared one) in his honda ek, it was bumping nice. im thinking about settling for a 10, i would like to have trunk sapce lol

[VooDoo]

well I am gonna have seperate boxes built to hold one sub behind each taillight. And crust would you be willing to just sell the alpine type r's without the box?

the square ones are solo barics even though they are not the best with sound quality i do kinda like them and they pound really dang hard.

as for trunk space with a little ingenuity you can fit 2 12s in the trunk with plenty of room as in the picture i posted above. figure out what you want the system to sound like, price range then how masterfully your going to make your install and you can keep most of your trunk space

V2s?

Yea these are the old school 12w6's but that setup was hitting around 147spl in a jeep cherokee. I'll take $500.00 The amp alone sells for $1100.00 new

[Cru$ty GLI]

Yea i will sell them without the box for $200. I could also help you out building a custom enclosure. Like fiberglass walls on each side of the trunk so you still have a little trunk space, which is what i think you are looking for. Here is one i did kinda what im talking about.

my brother has two 10s infinitis in his VW and they're the best I've heard so far, a little pricey though

INTERESTED IN THE AUDIO VOODOO

[hhspunter]

You might consider the W7s... I heard a setup today with a single ten inch... I think my heart stopped. The cone literally moved like 7 or 8 inches on some lower frequency notes. And it sounded real nice too, when it wasn't giving me a heart attack.

[JRiggs]

yea w6 and w7s poud real dam hard, buddy has 2 12s w7s in the back of her rx330. i heard them for the 1st time earlier today, i think they stopped and started my heart a few times.

[VooDoo]

Yes intrested not sure in what though I just moved to orlando

[Cru$ty GLI]

Orlando is only fourty minutes from me

[JRiggs]

boo random bot

what did you end up going with?

[icemike]

I think JL's have excellent sound quality. I've owned several. I have the old school w3 12's. I just blew them cause i'm pushing way to much power to them. 1,800 watts, 850 rms. Made my headlights blink hardcore until i got a capacitor.
