Suggestion for a sub;

Darthness · Post by **Darthness** » Fri May 06, 2005 11:26 am

idk how many threads were created on this subject. sorry.

Anyway to the question, i'm looking for a decent SINGLE (for now maybe) 12" sub that'll provide a good amount of bass (ie, something thats going to rattle my trunk a little, something that i can feel!). My memphis and blaupunkt coaxils are great for bass, but the bass doesn't "feel" as good as it owuld in a setup with subwoofers.

I'm looking for something in the 400-500w peak area..i can put the sub in a big ol box if needed, and i'm not looking to pay more then $100-$200 (perferably under $150, but whatever).

The sub i'm looking at (and is easily availble at my local dealer) is the Memphis Audio M-Class (not mojo!) 400w (peak) SVC 12" subwoofer.. Im really thinking this is the sub im going for, but i'm not sure if just one is going to be as loud as i want, and i know in advance that i'm being sort of cheap and looking for a whole lot out of not much..

I'm going to sound like a broken record, but they're clearing out their inventory for a new product line due to a beef with the license owner for XBL^2 motor technology.
An Atlas 12" is $100. You can get a 15" for about $15 more if I recall. Anyway, you won't find a better sub at the moemnt without spending a lot moer money. That's the way to o. Fantastic sub. great SQ, and it'll hit quite hard.

yeah Darthness thats a killer deal right now.

Could also go for an alpine type-r, or a kicker comp (vr)

also you can get comp12's from elevation audio for that price and youll feel those with only 200 watts. id get a sound splitter 8 if i had the money i think they would be awsome

thats a sweet deal for a good looking sub.. I might have to look into ordering.. the only reason i might now go with that sub is because i don't really have access to a credit card or anything atm.

Hey Spkrman, ever had the chance to meter an atlas?

Im just curious bc some people say they have the ability to get loud and some people say they are only an SQ sub and dont get too loud?

for $100 in a 2ft^3 box with port tuned to ~30Hz, that atlas 12" should sound good and hit pretty hard. I mean we're talking about a $100 sub here. If he wants more though he can pay a litle more and go with one of their larger subs.

atlas 12 is the way to go!

oh, keep in mind if you do go with a bigger sub like an Avalanche, you'll want a larger amplifier to drive it as well. sometimes you're better off with a more sensitive sub, and less power to get nearly the same output up to a point and with less of a chance of needing to upgrade your charging system to get loud.
