I have a spare box and amp laying around, and I'm thinking of doing a temporary setup in my Maxima. I'm just not sure which subwoofer I want to get.

The amp is my old Memphis M-Class D, 500x1 @ 2ohms. The amp has shown it is 1 ohm stable, but I would rather keep the sub in the 2 ohm range.

So I have narrowed it down to 3 choices.

- Adire Brahma 12D4

- Sound Splinter RL-p12 D4

-Memphis M1 DVC

2 are quite close in price, with the Brahma being the most expensive around $420. I'm leaning towards the Memphis because the box it will be going into for now is a Audio Enhancers single sealed.

 

leaning towards Memphis...never woulda thought that. I say get an AA 12" arsenal which should be close to that brahma and half the price.

 

We all know your gonna get the Memphis.

Wheres the None of the above option? If your looking at a $420 brahma in the first place, you could do a lot better than any of those on that budget. Just my .02. But we all know Im not a nutswinger who lives and dies by the forums like most people who follow Adire and SS.

 

Memphis...........








J/K

 

the brahma is 420 now?! damn...they use to go for $380 for the MKII series.

*cough* RL-p *cough*

 

Well the M1 has the easy capability to repair if needed. The motor assembly is easily unbolted. I don't plan on running them that hard, so it's an option that I really don't need.

I've looked through most of the other brands out there. I'm actually thinking of the SS now. But I'm going to go next weekend to take a look a closer look at the M1. Luckily I know the owner of Mobile FX really well, so I get to play around with all the goodies in the shop.

Plus with their display setup, I can easily compare them to the M-Class.

 

so memphis it is?

 

who voted for the brahma?

 

me...........

 

Not sure on the memphis yet, I have to go listen to them first. Plus I finally found the specs on my box and going to compare to the required specs for both subs.

 

Memphis, 1 sub sealed, 0.8-1.00 cu.ft.

Sound Splinter 0.75-1.75 cu.ft.

Damn... that didn't help the decision any, the box is 1.34 cu.ft.

Oh ohhh.... Don's here

 

flatline

 

Flatline, or DLS SP12 less space and will pound the **** outta that M

 

Hmmm... how much is the DLS UR-12 running? (considering my amp can't push the Flatlines)

 

Who said anything about a UR? SP my friend, SP.

 

BTW Ill be meeting with your Memphis boys next weekend...

 

SP is 2 ohm DVC Don... and when wired will give me 1 ohm, or 4 ohms. I'm looking for 2 ohms. The UR will give me that with it's 4 ohm DVC.

 

then go FL.

Why not go 4Ohm? With efficency like the SP has, you wont need much power to get it going....

 

And the FL is cheaper than the Brahma, so is the Ur and Iridium.

 

Oh and so is the SP,

Although I would rule out the UR as its no longer. Nobelium is top then IR

 

Forget it... I'm going to go play with the M1 tomorrow. I was going to do a friend's remote start, but it didn't come in today.

I'll know tomorrow wether I want a M1, or SS RL-p

 

12" type R...

 

I'm sorry, Alpine makes me puke.

 

Heck, I should just order a Memphis Marine subwoofer, that way it matches the paint of my Max

 

Ben, why do you ask questions that youve already answered in your head??

 

Because I'm not getting the answers to my questions, just a run around

 

....

 

How is that? You asked a question...

Did you not? I simply answered it and gave you more info.
You even played along...
So how were my posts running you around? You didnt get a price answer, due to the fact that I stated they are no longer. I was giving you other options. So please point out where my posts were irrelevant.

 

That box size is right up the RL-p's alley .

 

The box size is a match for the SS, but it's also a nice match for the M1, a bigger box than recommended will give me some deeper bass.

 

Last response I'll give you on this topic Don

THIS... IS not a DAMN answer, it is a run around. This was the very first post you gave me after I asked the price question. As you can see, no where in that entire post is there a answer to my question, not even a "it's not available anymore." It took you almost another 4 posts to even mention that.

As far as I'm considered Don, you can on this topic.

 

Actually it was answer, I posted it almost 4 posts later due to the fact that I didnt realize I didnt answer you to begin with. Of the three posts they were within a minute or two of each other. Next time I promise Ill go back and edit instead of reposting. Didnt realize if its not in the same post # then its not answer to you. Sorry Ben, I check my posts before I reply in your threads again.


As far YOUR post, your the one that jumped the gun. I suggested a FL or SP, then you reply with...how much is the UR. WTF is that if its not a runaround game??

You are correct in one point though, it was your last post in this thread.
