Going to need some decent Replacement 12"s

CaptainPioneer · Post by **CaptainPioneer** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 6:51 am

Ok well I figure around Christmas I will want to buy new subs for my truck... The damn eclipse finally bit the bullet... If I can I want to go with 2 12"s that take 400-800 watts well and can get moderately loud... I liked my eclipse subs because they sounded pretty good and also got pretty loud for the application...

Currently the Subs (Eclipse) were in a sealed box close to 2 cuft each and being powered by my Hifonics Brutus 1605D 1 ohm Configuration 800w per channel...

Perhaps even a nice 15" maybe?? Not sure yet... Im thinking about going to Kicker...
Any thoughts recommendations with prices is always good. Thanks

Jay

Single 12 ported!

yea I think thats the best option... I want to go with a smaller ported box so it doesnt take up too much trunk space in the Camry... The truck I think I might run just 1 12" in it for now sealed and then eventually top ported...

Camary, 2 15's walled off.

Truck, 2 15's with a blow through...

hahah Yea... Gotta keep my car professional looking...

The truck... some day... Blow through... Thats when Bill aka the mad scientist will come into play... 2 15" blow through on that truck will be monsterous

My main goal is to have this new sub be a small ported application so i can retain a lot of space in the trunk... and still also have these 2 things...

#1 Priority... Great Bass... Im talking about shake my damn mirror off bass...
#2 Priority... SQ must be as good if not better than my 2 12" Eclipse subs with hopefully a better high range...

Originally i was goign to go with an Alpine Type x but their DVC config is not what im looking for... I need a Dual 2...

A Bravox BVX Or EDX would also be a good 12 to put in there...
I really liked the way the Kicker L7 12" Sounded... I can only wonder what the 15" is like

Yo Cappy,

I have a Dual 2ohm Focal Sub I might be willing to release for the right price.

Its probably way out of my price range Joe... Thanks though... If Im guessing right the sub u have is no less than $500... I am not looking to spend too too much... If Bill gives me the right price on one of his customs I might go with him... The other option is a 15" Kicker L7 Dual 2 Unless it can take 1600 watts on a 12" Is it the K2 power?

LOL I have a strange feeling 500 is a little higher than joe wants for it.

You might want to talk to him before you say no.

how long has it been since you have heard one?

seriously?

i would bet you 1000 dollars that you could not hear the difference in bass reproduction from a square woofer and a round woofer. you can argue about round sound waves and all that shit all you want bottom line is your not a finely tuned RTA you have flaws in your hearing like everyone else and its definitely not sensitive enough to pick up the subtle difference in sound.
