Still no subs?

ah that sucks, I hate when you order stuff and it takes FOREVER to get the items.

man im getting real bothered about getting these subs.
been trying to get 4 for a few weeks. dunno why but amazons been majorly screwing up this order.
saw an epic 8 on ebay but someone swiped it at the last minute. then some old eclipse 8808s but those got sold and now the buyer is selling one and using the other for midbass..... SMH
if they dont get it right in the next week i may scrap the r3 8 box plan at least the one ive got in mind

got the r3.8 kinda disappointed i ordered 4 got 1 but i guess getting rid of 1 if i dont like its easier than 4

got some others on the way got a tc-7 10 here and also gonna build up some sound splinter rlp18 motors into 10s

Hey there,
No real format in mind, just start a new thread with a descriptive title.
You can start the thread in the Product Review area.

Then for the actual review, just go in any details you want about it, why you did or didn't like etc. Anything that will help someone else make a decision on it.

thanks again
Chris

the r3 is finally shipping and only 1 right now i ordered 2 i thought but i guess i was wrong since im only getting charged for 1.

yeah i can do that. im thinking i might get some shallow mount subs too. been looking at the memphis slims ive got a few of their amps still and i had some of the old tc9 based mojos all pretty good idk about the slims but whatever. then ppi and sounstream both sell the same one with a 5 inch coil that looks interesting. skar has a few but i wouldnt really call the smaller ones subs at least at first glance.

i had been mining all year and just cashed out to btc then the btc price jumped so ive got some money to play with. 2 years ago it payed for some 18 inch tc sounds passive radiators an old mm4000 then i took the rest and bought amazon gift cards to pay for stuff for quite a while


anyways i dont think im gonna build specific boxes for each im gonna do the max size possible for under the rear seat then behind the rear seat then i can easily make them smaller if needed or polyfill them. wiill likely port the under seat box forward or to the side then the behind seat box port up. will try to make them adjustable too

That's awesome.

so ive decided to order a few different brands then keep what i like, got some soundstream r3 8s on the way for starters.

i got an 07 kicker 10 with a 250x1 in a box that looks like its built exactly to kickers specs in the manual for 2 4gb sticks of ddr3. ill probably get rid of these soon

it seems like the box is tuned too high and the amp seems fairly weak. real 8 gauge wont fit in it. it can get decently loud but wont do the lows so ill probably build a different box or just deal with it for a couple weeks until i get the ct sounds 6.5s or 8s plan on 4 of those under the rear seats.

gotta have room for my kids but im already thinking i may swap out the bench seat for buckets or a center console box so i can throw some real subs in there. then i keep thinking blow through,
