This has been taken a lot further than it ever should have. We have completly whored his thread up. I've been trying to figure out exactly just what part of my post made me come across uneducated? Anyway...the couple of setups with Infinity subs I have experienced, have all been Perfects (both 10.1 & 12.1). Its been a couple of yrs, but I've heard a pair of 10's & 12's n sealed enclosures...i would say 1-1.25^ft per sub. I have also heard a single 12.1 n a vented enclosure. All the above enclosures were built out of 1/2" MDF, which i would consider thick enough since the subs only handle around 350w RMS. Which really isn't enough power for me. I guess you & I can just agree to disagree with each other...its definatly been a heated debate.

Ghost sorry about all this...hopefully u haven't given up on us to help u out with ur system decision.

 

Yeah I think don was trying to move us over to 12 volt forum to ***** up that forum. But this place is so much funner. Especially when we have a ***** fight going on like this one.

And Ghost... I only have one thing to say about all this... and it's the good old "$hit and opinion statment"

Anything can last a long time if you take care of it. And the right enclosure will make it sound awesome. Find what you like and would want to show off.

 

well i never intended on people insulting each other of being uneducated and what not, don't see how asking if JL was good or what i should get turned into saying someone was stupid. Anyways i know that a box can make a sub sound good but you can not tell me a $100 subwoofer can sound as good as a $400 dollar subwoofer, there are better designs in the expensive one unlike the cheap one therefore making the $400 dollar sub better, but that can be ruined too if its powered by a sh*tty amp, even then you can get even more detailed into what wires you use and what not. i don't want anything to break rear view mirrors like slickrick, so i'm thinking the 12' W3 on a 300/1 alpine amp will do plenty. i've heard this setup on a sh*tty sealed enclosure and it sounded awesome, so i can only imagine what a well built ported box could do for it

 

lol... yay i was used in a thread! anyway dont some audiobahn speakers retail for $400...if so i can think if many $100 drivers than have better sq. 1 12 ported with 300 watts is a solid setup if you ask me. your 3rd gen mirror will never break like mine because the 5th gen auto dimming mirror is junk.

 

well of course almost any $100 dollar sub is going to out perform a audiobahn, they suck!!

 

True Dat ghost! I think ur original plan with the 2 12w3 or the 1 12w6v2 will b an awesome setup. JL subs r very efficent and don't really need a whole lot of power for them to perform at their best. I'm ready to c some pics...

 

if you go JL at least port...i wasn't too impressed with 2 w3v2 12's on a 500/1 in a 2k maxima.

 

planned on porting it, the sealed jl i heard was alright but ported makes it sound so much better, i'm now just trying to find where to buy a W3 at, i've decided on an alpine amp, 300rms/1, its only like 129 on ebay, tweeters in chattanooga suggested that amp for me

 

IMO I'd buy a w3 authorized or else JL will not fix it. however, that means you will be bent over on the price.

 

actually i found one close to me just a few minutes ago, they said the price would be right at about 200

 

200 plus tax? I would strongly look at an avalanche 12 for that price...its $200 plus shipping and is 10x that speaker IMO.

 

aight, what is the specs on that sub?? or i could just call i guess, lol

 

Not unless your good friends with the dealer

 

and you're claiming to be?

 

wish I was... but I'm a good friends with the guys at Mobile FX... plus a loyal customer who refers. And also my truck is the club they sponsor. So I get really good deals.

 

ah lucky you, lol i'm not that fortunate, my local car audio shop hates me, lol, mainly cause i talk people out of going there, way over priced, and they sell sh*tty stuff, the fosgate stuff nowadays sucks and they advertise it big time.....plus they're crooks

 

Sounds like Sound Pro up here. And the overcharge sounds like Hurricane Audio. I didn't have one decent stereo place till Mobile FX came along.

 

i have to drive at least 1 1/2 hours to a good place. the place here is now pushing for stuff like DUB and alumapro.......he was like, man this stuff is the sh*t....i pushed down on the DUB sub and it didn't even move, it has like 3 inch wide rubber surround, completely bling bling, can we say audiobahn wanna be? lol

 

I bought mine for $159 .


I have paid a lot more for subs though, live and learn . But as you say, with age comes knowledge.

 

ah but is your sub good? if so then goodie, yes some subs are WAY over priced, but some the price fits the quality

 

Soundsplinter RL-i10

I could have spent a good amount more on a name brand sub, and still not get the same quality as I did with this sub.

only if it were a 12......

 

Well, I will be purchasing their RL-p12 pretty soon . It will go in either my car or my wife's car. The 10" sounds very nice though, do not underestimate it because of its size. It can move in and out a good amount .

well i just know that in fosgates stuff there is a HUGE difference in 10's from 12's, the tens...........SUCK.....lol

 

well i think i've came to a decision on a sub, after talking to a few people and what not, i'm thinking very seriously about 1 12inch avalanche

 

That may be the problem. Wrong size box for W3s? That'll make any sub sound bad.

 

nope... almost exact same sealed box qtc...between roughly a .85-.9 pending oh how much you count polyfill for.

 

I don't think they have any 12" avalanches availible...i would definatly not waste any time calling them.

 

i have 2 infinity perfect 10.1s rated at 350 rms each is gettin about 305 according to my amps birth sheet, they are in a sealed fiberlgass encloser with roughly 1 cubic foot, they sound great and they can hit very hard, i have had thses subs for about 3 months now and i have no complaints, i would suggerst them. They are also fairly cheap, i got mine for 120 each

 

get mojos!!!

 

those are way overkill and too expensive

 

I personally like the M3s better. And like he said, that's overkill. I think you'd like the M3s. I'm going to put up vid clip of my 4 M-Class 12"s. I only have a 500D Memphis amp pushing them right now. So it's not at it's full potential. But it does hit very well.

But I won't have time till later this evening to get all that done. I'm taking pics right now on my lunch break.

 

4?? holy cow man thats insane, how do you have space for that?

 

Here is the system that I have bought within the last two days for my 97 maxima:

Audiobahn a6004t ($150 eBay) powering
Infinity Kappa 60.5cs components up front ($165 eBay)
Infinity Kappa 62.5i two-ways as real fills ($80 eBay)

Sony XM-2200GTX ($140 eBay) powering
MB Quart PWE 352 ($108 Crutchfield)

Complete cost of system: $643

What do you guys think about the system and the price paid for it?

 

Not too bad. Not a big fan of Sony. But I bet it does sound nice. When you get a chance check out my new setup. It's a thread close by "Getting there (system)" That way ghostridden can see how I fit 4 12"s.

 

That system is all that 99% of the population really needs ... should sound perfectly fine to almost anyone's ears.

 

blah blah blah....idv3's
