Soundstream products are an great $$$ buy right now for exellent products....

I'm ditching my 2 MTX 6000 10's because I'm looking into an SQ set up......I believe I'm going with a single Rubicon R-12SQ in a sealed to be powered by a Kicker ZR360 amp....


or .......


I might use channels 3/4 off my Arc Audio CXL 4150 (85 x 4 or 320 X2) to run this sub and run channels 1/2 in parallel (2ohms) to run my highs (Arc ACS265 components and Arc Kar 6.5" coaxes)


Any of you have any experience with these subs...first hand or know a friend...
Any constructive comments appreciated..

Thanx- Manny

 

can't say i'm familiar with their subs, but just by the name it should be decent or better. How much were you looking to spend on the sub/s?

 

no more than ~$300 on the sub itself....

Don (pearl96max) showed me a 10" today and I was very impressed visually by the basket/magnet structure, surround and the cone is beautiful (carbon fiber) but did not have the pleasure to hear it (it was a customers)

 

i've heard a couple of soundstreams in the past and they are very very good sound q subs! i would definately go for it

 

see that's what I wanna hear....

Not that I doubt Don's (pearl96max) recommendation....because he's never steered me wrong....but its nice to hear other opinions.....

 

the one i did hear was a rubicon now that i think about it, you will absolutely not be dissappointed with it, i gaurantee!

 

nice!.....just wondering what kind of space this bad boy may need....to get the most out of it from my 400watt kicker......

 

the box i heard it in must have been a 1.75-2.0 cubic foot box, if im not mistaken. the sucker was pretty big

 

i just bought a 12" Rubicon R-12SQ from Don. im making a box with a plexi window for it and it will be for sale if anyone wants to talk

....i was thinking the same - thats one good looking sub....

 

[QUOTE=MannyNJ2k2max]
hence the plexi window and Superbright LED's

 

you want me to make you one?

 

shoot me a pm?

 

Look at their EXACT subs. They are their SQ line. Not that you probably won't be happy with the Rubicons, but check them out.

Tony

 

the Rubicon is also in their SQ line, the Exact isn't the only one.

 

OMG! This ARC CXL 4150 is a beast! I installed my new SQ Rubicon 12" yesterday and I'm glad I ditched those mtx's because this 12 shyts on them.....Although I haven't cranked them (break in)
at moderate levels the sub truly shines and provides clean lows....IMO you cannot possibly get a better SQ sub for the price these can be bought for....highly recommended!

 

here's a pic with a temporary 1.2 cu/ft subzone box...

 

manny do you still want me to make a box for u? i'll get a chance not this weekend but the next...

 

i heard the sub yesterday it sounds really good, nice meetin u yesterday bro, keep that system clean

Hey Eric, you finish that box for the Tarantula yet? any pics?

 

the box for my Tarantula? i made one for it a while ago, although its only temporary.

 

pics?

hehe....that's a big boy....the surround on that sub is serious....jusy finished fine tunning my amp and am loving every second of it.....now its time to replace my rockhards(rf's) components and i'm done with my system.....

cant wait to see your plexi backed/sealed box....

 

i dont know when i'll make a new box for the tarantula, but i should be making the box for the rubicon next weekend

 

how does the tarantula sound?

 

if u like SQ it sucks, if u like SPL it shakes ur filling loose, and if u dont have fillings, then someone elses filling might vibrate out of there mouth and into urs, and u will then have loose fillings in ur mouth....eeeew that was nasty

 

hahahahha ur a crazy mo fo

 

hehe i try, but seriously the sub pounds....some people with 2 12"s in a sealed box are like "wtf thats a 10?"

and thats with like 300 or so watts going to it

 

damn sweet, whats the rms?

 

i think they are 900 or 100O rms....my rubi is really pounding off 340......makes me want to see what it does if it had the 600 rms it can take......

 

haha thats sick. i bet that 340 is plenty for you now. 600 would be pretty sick im sure.

 

i bet the 600 watts would be sick, and on the tarantula the power handling is 900 RMS
