the sub




the magnet



it sounds great heard it in another car mmmmmmmm bassssssssssssss lol

comments opinions? thanx

 

thats a nice start

 

thanx im keeping the stock bose for the time being because they're not too terrible, and im using two amps to power this puppy up, dont have the money for anything else at the moment

 

Nice, good luck with the install. Keep us posted with pics!!

 

thanx, and that's the plan, im gonna try to document everything in the install

 

got the box today will have pics of the box and sub mounted in it when i get the second terminal cup

 

Hey nismo, I hope the box was built according to the specs of that sub. My friend had them in a store bought box and it sounded ok but now he has a custom bandpass box built and there is an incredible difference.

 

i like the sub, wish i hadn't gone with PHONY err. SONY grr. oh well someday ill get something decent

the box i have for it is 1.5 cubic feet, which is what the specs ask for, so i shoud be fine. the bandpass box just makes it more boomy and it gives it an overall lack of frequency reponse wish is okay for bass, but i want my sub to blend in with the bose, so im gonna go with my own frequencies on the amps for the low pass filter, and prefer my system this way. by the way, what kind of amp does ur friend have pushing this sub e_is_chillin? damn psx, i dont like the sony's so many of my friends have had them and got rid of them so fast... hopefully next time u'll make a better choice, but if they sound good thats cool too

 

He's using a rockford fosgate I believe its 1ch, 1000watts I thought that was why you went with the premier, for the bass

 

lol yeah i want it for bass, but i dont want it boomy in a small frequency range, i want it to be musical as well. im using two amps to power mine and im not running more than 500 rms 1000 peak.

 

i got the sub installed and holy crap that thing is loud, and i haven't even really gave it any power yet just letting it break in for a couple weeks first im excited!!

 

when are the pics coming... what kind of amp are you using?

 

i wont have install pics, i'll just have pics of the final product, which is not professional or very pretty for that matter lol. im running 2 sherwood a100x2 amps to them, they are 100x2 rms amps, run in bridged mode giving 250 rms to each coil it sounds great and i haven't even set the gains yet. im gonna break it in for 2 weeks before gettin on it

 

looks pretty tight

 

and it sounds even better

 

I just never thought Pioneer would finally come out with something like that. Again, congrats, good job

 

yeah i never really expected it either. i saw it and was like wow lol their old subs weren't too bad with the diamondplate, they took alot more than the rated power and they sounded damn good for the price, i think i got those for like $150 in a box with 2 tens. even this sub was pretty decently priced. can't really beat it for $115

thanx again

 

daayum, $115 not bad

I got my s12l5 for like $130

 

yup yup the price definately was one of its selling points

 

Did you get rear-ended or something, I dont think the trunk lid is supposed to look like that.

 

heres the pics http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/391233/4

 

lookin good man

 

whats the rms on that beast?

 

750, slightly over rated tho, i'd say about 500 rms 250 per coil it sounds really really good
