any difference between one 12'' or two 10's
 

is there a difference? which in your opinion is better?

well basically the more air you move the better, it also depends on the speakers. 2 10s is punchy but one 12 has nice low frequencies. i currently have one 12 and it sounds good.

yea i'm getting one 12. i just need to make it around one grand flat for the whole setup

you checked out the brahma man? that sub is awesome i would get that or a xxx. or you could go mainstream but these smaller dealers are good. arc audio also has nice subs. what are you looking for though? raw bass or sound quality?

are you going to buy online or at your audio dealer?

i dont think anyone around here sells Brahma subs...so i might get one 12'' online..i just dont get why its "1600W RMS, 4800W peak" what can i possibly buy to power it?

ugh 1 type x and any 600 watt amp can be had for under 1g... whats your holdup? :)

lol yea but i want something that wont burn out i heard from 2 da max that the coils burn and that they had to be recalled

might have heard that from me. it happened when they first came out. im sure(wel i hope) alpine fixed that problem.

but would YOU get one 12" alpine x? its like 3000 watt peak and im only gettin a 500 watt amp..

you don't need to amp it that much to get it loud. it also depends on enclosure size.

so if i get a 500 watt amp to power a 3000 watt sub i can still make it crazy loud?

do you have any idea whats 1000watts?

im gettin 500 watt dude!!!

lol

why do you want the type x so badly? is it because of the brand? if you really want it go ahead its your system not ours. 500watts on any speaker is crazy loud. btw is this your first system?

of course its my first thats why i got no idea wat to get.. i heard alpine X is "AWESOME" then the Brahmas shibas are also AWESOME n then the JL ARE GREAT ..i just need a sweet *** bumpin system for 1 thousand

cross out the alpine type x for now, jls are good but kind of overated[well for the price]. get a nice adire brahma with a a hifonics brutus. this is 1000watts at 2ohms and 1500watts at 1 ohm for under 300. its kinda hard to give you exactly what you want since your system is so broad. but do some research and tell us what you come up with.

Take a look at the MTX Sledge Hammers. I have the 7500 12" and it kicks rocks.

I got mine online at eBay for $125 for 1.

In my opinion, you never know what you are guna get from Ebay. I'm not to comfortable buying stuff from there..but i dont know :/

Aren't hifonics brutus amp's cheap and they break fast?

get an ED nine.1 $275 and it puts out 1200-1500 watts rms. 3 year warranty too.

where do i get that from and whats RMS compared to regular watts?

slickrick what subs and amp do you bump

dont even thin about peak power. any good quality product doesnt mention it. rms power is constant power. www.edesignaudio.com for the amp. i have a jbl600.1 and 2 adire audio shivas. might be selling the setup... car audio is addicting!

yes it is, and i would love one of those shvas

there is a small chance you may get your wish... if i get a 15" brahma. :)

no no, you can't get a 15" brahma unless you get me one too :p

there are 2 available at a great price.. im just unsure if i want a 41 beast in the trunk!

how much does your setup weigh now? shouldn't be too far off from a b15 + box right?

well i wont include the amps... plywood under carpet=15 lbs maybe? subs are 13 each. box is about 40. but my PLAN was to make a sealed box for my shivas out of birch which would im guessing weigh about 20lbs total... nice weight savings. but with this brahma calling... now i dunno. i wish i heard a brahma 15 ported to know exactly what it will sound like.

how will one Shiva sound with 500 kickin it?

blown. i wouldnt throw more than around 300 watts to a shiva. 300 watts and a 2.5cuft ported box should be decent.

Does a shiva sounds sweet?

how about 2 shivas and 500 kickin em?

awesome imo. 2 shivas getting 250 each in 2.8-3 cubes sealed total will be perfect.

only person on here (that i know of) with a ported B15 is HitManSE. maybe he'll chime in on his opinions about his brahma.

what do u mean by "decent" and "perfect" ? i want it to b bumpin dude

yeah i know.. i think hes been busy. i used to talk to him about his brahma all the time. he broke his clear corners on 425 watts...sick. well honestly, i try not to say how loud a setup will sound because, 1: i dont know for sure, based on install and stuff, and 2: because to some people.. loud is 1 10" with 200 watts sealed and to others (me) loud is when your rearview is useless at half volume. :)

so kickin 500 to 2 Shivas will b sweet? i hope it will sound crazy

define crazy...

understandable :)

loud for me is when my dash starts to shake and my rearview mirror going nuts :D. still waiting for my box to get finished :squint:

do u have instal messengeror something liek that
