Hi, im not the most experienced audio person, so im gonna need some help picking out some hard hitting, loud subwoofers, and an amp for them. I was thinking 1 15" sub or 2 12's. Any reccomendations? on the sub/s the max im gonna be paying is 250, 300. The amp, mono, dual, or 4 channel? I have about the same budget for the amp, around 250. any ideas? and any comments would be greatly appreciated.

A bigger budget if you want LOUD

 

300 will get you a decent sub on ebay, unauthorized. But for 250 bucks for an amp, you surely wont be gettin very loud and hard hitting.

 

Come a yacking when you have more than 2 subs... j/k

 

We dont care about Frontiers....Or Memphis

jk

 

300 bucks can also get him a 15" RL-p...maybe with a few bucks left over

 

It coulda gotten him a 15" ava from chad, shipped, with $50 left to spare, Mr AscendantMax

 

blah, let see an ava 15 in a 2.0 sealed box with 300 watts hit 137 dB (got metered yesterday with a friend's amp, tl mic)

 

wheres the xxk? why 300 watts?

 

137? that's it?

kpr10is, you're just jealous I can haul more parts than you could while making everything rattle in the back of my truck. BTW, my bed cover now rattles... time to hit LOWE'S

 

Come yackin when ya got more than 500watts.

 

And just so I'm not whoring up your thread... I'll throw in a idea.

New Memphis M1 subs (designed like M3 but cheaper in price). Though I'm still waiting on Don's feedback on these. I believe the price was around $175 for a 12"... not quite sure.

Here's a link, http://www.memphiscaraudio.com/produ...ils.asp?id=165

 

i was using another dude's amp at the audio meet. puts out 300 @ 2 ohms. the other choice was the amp he was using, but i don't think my sub likes 2000+ watts...

whatya want with only 300 watts in a sealed box...in a trunk with seats that can't fold down? :

 

Well that isn't too bad of a score then...

 

its actually a good score... you need to get metered with the doors and windows closed on the windshield so we can compare results. also try to see what you score at 40hz.

 

*cough* 147.1 on the floorboard, windows and doors closed, playing 28-33 hz sweep

 

sure when i get my amp

 

TL mic? sounds like a solid daily driver.

 

yep... brand new TL mic, barely 2 weeks old when I used it. Yep, the subs are used at least 5 times per week. Though because of local noise laws, I cannot play them that loud (and yet a B1 bomber shakes stuff off my walls when they take off???) So whe I go into town... they get turned up. I love it when people pull forward and try to outrun just to get away from all the bass.
