Hey im looking for some subs. 2 10s or 1 12, not that pricey something with a rubber cone that will last me a long time. Im looking in the 300-400 range for both subs . Any inputs ? I want bass over loudness

 

www.reaudio.com check out the SX 12inch

 

cool those subs look nice any other input guys?

 

hey guys i decided on getting 2 12 " shivas any ideas on what amp to power these bad boys ?

 

shivas are nice, ask slickrick hell tell you a good amp to power those bad boys. see if you could get a 600x1 and run 300 each, or you could get those jbl amps for cheap off of sounddomain.com for 150 each i think. they put out 300rms that should be, wait i forgot how much the shiva can handle. lol neways the shiva is a great sub.

 

are those 2ohm or 4ohm?

and will that allow me to have a "bump in the trunk"

 

i believe there 4ohm and 8ohm, not too sure they should be, there home theater subs. hell yea they will. ask slick rick, that shiet shakes the block.

 

lol i dont know about shaking the block but it can shake my walls if i really want to. anyway they are DVC8. so get 2, wire them in parallel for a 2 ohm load then pick an amp accordingly. however, the shivas will not be restocked until february sometime so save up. also power is dependant on box size but i say about 250-300 per sub is perfect. one of these days ill find a somewhat deserted place to boom out and show you what these ugly *** subs can do... and my tv!

 

whats the xmax on those subs? 22mm?

allegedly the mark iv is 16.6 but its not a big difference. however, the sub can go past xmax without nuking itself which is nice.

 

hhm the Re xxx has a 32mm xmax!!! but i think JL w7s have longer xmaxs

 

According to the 13W7 manual, the xmax is 32mm. Both TC Sounds and Destijl Engineering (RE) have subs with an xmax in the 40+mm range. Adire has a motor with more than 100mm of xmax.

yo who got a box to hold these bad boys i need a enclosure for 2 12s !

this box any good ?

 

how dare you mention the parthenon with these common folk subs! xmax isnt everything these days. the new RE sub has some sick excursion from what ive seen though. for a decent prefab box id check out bigdogaudio on ebay. he either builds em or gets em cheap from somewhere in miami but ive bought 2 and their solid for the price.

 

hey slickrick that guys not a registered user anymore. ANyoen got a box spec that they could give me ?

 

They might not be ready for it. There was some interesting discussion over at DIY Audio about building one from scratch. There was even a professional transducer engineer from India getting in on the discussion. WAYYYYY over my head.

I just ordered a truck box from Sound Off Audio. They have a site but sell via eBay for about 25% less. Basic boxes with carpet are under $20. Mine should be here in about a week to 10 days.

the parthenon is just so damn nice to look at

 

haha figures. kind of a shady business but the boxes were solid. just look for a box thats made of 3/4 mdf all around. once you get it just re-seal the inside to be sure. however, id pick a box size pending the power you give the subs too.

 

yeah im gonna look around ebay trying to find a box where i wont haev to pay a whole bunch of shipping.

 

it looks like a gatling gun
