Well, I've had a pair of Audiobahn Alum10s in this car and my last car for a total of 7 years now and they've been great, but I'm looking for a little change. I'm running a Soundstream 1002 bridged to 1000w (RMS 4 or 2 ohm operation) and I'm looking for alternatives. The Eclipse alum subs are nice, but I'm thinking of something non-aluminum. I don't think it really hits 1000w, but I'll need something that can handle 400+w per sub or so. Also, the subs are in a sealed box that's partially mdf and partially fiberglass, close to 1.7ft^3 total space inside (in my spare well). Thanks in advance

Checked out prices on Alpine Type R, Boston G5s, just don't have anyplace nearby to audition.

get the eclipse sw9102 its amazing. i have one of these its my 2nd one. i blew the other 1. my ecilpse hits as hard as my friends L5's. seriouse little woofer

 

That is a serious woofer no doubt, but I'm looking for something non-metallic this go around. Maybe more round, musical sound rather than high spl.

 

image dynamics idmax ftw

 

whats your budget?

IDMax's are pricey, but very nice subs.

 

What are everyone's thoughts on the Eclipse SW7200 or even 6200?? 10 or 12 inchers

 

While the Tis are nice, theyre also quite outdated. I think he's looking for something new and a non metal cone.

 

8200 or I'll pass.

 

.....and I happen to have a pair going up for sale.

 

really what new wetdream are you replaceing your idmax's with?

 

Diamonds TDX

 

Top secret stuffs.

 

I also dont think he's looking for 3yr old drivers. Decent as they may be, still old.

 

Being a Maxima noob I cant post my own thread yet, and, also being an ICE noob looking for 10" subs, this is a great thread for me to hijack (sorry.) I'm looking for a 10" that will work in the smallest enclosure possible. The models listed above are just names to me. What prices do these run at? What if I only care about sound rather than volume? About how much should I be looking to spend at a minimum?
I'm thinking of buying a set of Infinity 6010CS to go with the sub.

 

no infinity speakers...I'd get rainbow SLC's and perhaps a rainbow sub from pearl96max. they have been rated as great sound quality drivers.

 

Whats the issue with the infinitys? I've never heard of Rainbows before.
I got to sample some Polk components that sounded nice. Are the rainbows better? Whats the cost?

 

IMO it goes Rainbow>Polk>Infinity. The SLC's are usually around 230 shipped and worth every penny. Rainbows are made in Germany and brought to us via "the Don", pearl96max who is a rep/dealer for them.

 

$230 = ouch! Outta my budget. The polks are $120 shipped.

 

whats your budget?

 

You get what ya pay for...

 

Yea and why buy something that eventually you'll end up upgrading? I mean I doubt you'll keep those polks unless you never get to hear a set of rainbows.....

 

still about 30 bucks less than Type R comps. and sound much better..

 

polk = ewwwww

 

I'd really like to get some Boston G5s, but I've never heard them and no one in town has them, sad really.

 

I was impressed with the G2's, the G5's gotta be even better. Heard them in comparo with RF P3's and Kenwoods, all 12". Same box size/design and same amp powering them. G2's sounded the best.
