KlotzBanshee Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) I'm bump'n some old school 1995 Kicker Comps C12a's in a Q-logic bandpass box running off a badass old 1995 Rockford Punch 100ix. I've had the shit since HS and it still blows away most of the new shit out there. The rest is mostly Eclipse. I'm lucky to never have had it stolen after all these years! If I were to buy some new subs, they would def be some JL's Edited May 3, 2006 by AssWhore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFish Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 jl w7's all the way the only thig that sucks is the price and 800 bucks a pop! but those r the best right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indubitably Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) I would recomend 3 Resonant Engineering XXX 12. Your gonna need about 4000 watts rms to push one well. The older models worked better with 2000 watts. Other than that a soundsplinter rls is an awesome woofer. Theres a lot more good woofers i'm not mentioning here though.

bigboybanshee Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I'm running Kicker compVR 12's now, and like asswhore, I've had them forever. I've never seen a sub take a beating for so long and last as well as these do. I really like the sound they put out, nice and crisp bass with hardly any distortion. The JL w7 subs are great and all, but they are extremely overpriced. You could get 4 badass subs for 800 dollars; I just don't see the logic in spending that much for ONE sub. I've heard a w7 before and it was awesome, but not worth that much cash Me personally, if I had the money and vehicle to cram it in, I would run 4 fosgate punch DVC 12's. I had a friend at one of my previous jobs running that setup, I never heard anything that hit harder for the few subs and amps he was pushing. I remember him saying he was hitting in the upper 160's, lower 170's (decibels) with four 12's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duner440 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 The best subs I have ever had were called American Bass. Ya, I know the name sounds corny, but Ive had JL, Kicker, Rockford Fosgate, Pioneer, and a few others. These were the best out of all of them. I had a Kicker KX1200.1 running two 12's and it would bounce the windshield wipers off of my windshield (also cracked my windshield 4"). Check em out, they are on the net.

bigboybanshee Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Im really thinking about running 4 15inch solobaric Kickers in a ported box 511447[/snapback] Kickers aren't designed for ported inclosures....especially not the solobarics You'll get better sound and longer life out of a sealed box too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlotzBanshee Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Im really thinking about running 4 15inch solobaric Kickers in a ported box 511447[/snapback] Solobaric's are made to run in small sealed enclosures. They're idealy for when space is a problem. If you have a big ass trunk, suv, or ex cab truck save your money and get regular kickers or whatever. They are nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bzy2p Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 i agree not for closed box,, needs airspace so they can push it ,, bad thing is they arnt as accurate and tight as other subs but boy they pound with the airspace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNBRAD Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Jeff, you running a sealed box? I myself have ran kicker for 18 yrs. I currently run the Xpl's though they are discontinued. The compVR's are an impressive sub as well. One thing I have to mention though is I bought a fosgate combo packagefor my daily driver here a while back, couldn't pass it up. Got a punch 2 x 50 watt amp and a 12'' (P112S4) sub for 99 dollars. Anyway the sub can be purchased for like 60 to 70 dollars. I have been totally impressed with this sub, it impresses me everday and I can't believe it's just a cheap ole sub. So I have to say, the Chinese aren't doing too bad on the RF subs. I'd buy another in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellison445 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Interesting, Every truck I have heard them in sounded great. kickers website gives specs for ported boxes Im running a sealed box now, I want to change it up a little..
