well as some of you may recall i got my subs stolen out of my car. well now i have some money so im looking for some new ones

so im looking for some serious reccommendations... i dont wannt hear "DUDE YOU HAVE TO GET FUCKING 24 INCH SUBS MAN AND 60000W AMP!!! ITS WHAT I HAVE AND IT GOES OFF!!"

so basically im looking for something around 躔-700AUD (250-350US) that will pump the bass... either 2x12 inch box or 2x15 inch, that price inclues amp btw. is this possible? can i get something decent for that price? and im torn between 12 and 15 inchers cause i love the bass of 15's, but my mate has 15's and the response time is a little too noticable, specially with fast music. but rap sounds mad

i had 2x12's and they were pretty good, though the amp was pretty crappy i think.

is it even worth thinking about getting say a 10 inch woofer and subs aswell, so the subs can be even bassier cause the midlow stuff is handled by the woofer? sounds expensive tho

my friend just got new subs for his caravan, i dont know much about subs and whatnot, but theres 2 of em, and i think he sia dtheyre 12s...he wouldnt tell me how much he paid, kept sayin a dollar...but i think he paid like 800...but that included buying an amp and shit. whatever you do, dont trade size for quality. go for a trusted name brand, like sony....may cost a little more, but you dont have to worry that its gonna break...maybe that it will get stolen tho...

I have ONE Rockford HE2 RFP1212 (I think that’s the model) and for a mere 贶 it makes my whole car shake like a mother (1000 watts RMS). The problem with it is that it cant hit ANY midrange frequencies, so if you aren’t listening to something with only deep bass, and I mean deep, you’re going to hear a lot of missing notes. I have a much lower power Rockford for my second sub and it hits all the higher notes that I would usually miss. Ends up working out pretty good, and for a reasonable price.

For the price, you really cant beat a pair of Rockford Fosgates. I've got 2 10 inch XLC's in my hatchback and they really bump. The regular Fosgates handle 100w RMS, but if you need to handle more than that, the XLC's will handle 200w RMS.

The 10's dont hit the really low shit at all, so my system doesn't rattle windows from 2 streets away, but it's definately loud enough to do serious hearing damage. 10 inchers have the optimum response time, so any kind of music with fast bass hits (rock, some techno, etc) sounds absolutely great.

Go with 12s if you want the gut shaking lows though. You wont get great fast bass, but it's all a trade-off.

And DEFINATELY get a sealed box. Different types of boxes will be louder, but will sound like shit comparatively.

With respect to the amp, this is what makes your system. Dont get good subs and a crappy amp. Spend the dough on a good amp and get lesser subs if you have too.
Here is my personal opinion about the amps Ive heard and played w/ in mine or my friends cars.. (These are only amps i've used/heard so no flames if i left something out :] )
Bad: Pyramid, Optimus, Jensen, Kenwood, Profile, Sony, Rockwood, Kengate, Krunch

Good: MTX, Infinity, Rockford Fosgate, Kenwood eXcelon, McIntosh

Here's a link to a deal on a nice MTX. Check the web for better deals though of course

syf, these forums are read by EVERYONE, so if you post something like that just to piss fatbitch off you'll actually enevitably piss someone else off as well. If you REALLY wanted to JUST piss HIM off then maybe you should have e-mailed that reply? I dunno, just a suggestion, because I already feel the flames.
