Well i have right now i got 2 Kenwood 12's and runnin a Kenwood 800 watt amp but i am geting rid of those... well i have been thinking about getting the Kicker SolobarL5's.. i want 2 of those with maybe custom box... i heard that kicker is probly the best and i figured but i havent heard much about them... wat u guys think of these? are they worth the money and do they kick a lot of bass out... cause i all want is bass... nothing else... just a ton of bass... and something thats not very expnesive... and i am looking for an amp the lightening Audio Bolt B.300.2 100Wx2 or 300x1 amp... are thye good amps or should i go with sometihng else... if u have any other ideas let me know casue i am puttin my integra in a car show and i want to be the big one with all the bass.. but opinions needed....... Price no higher than $400...
Thanx

good luck getting that for under 400...
the setup you have right now is probly right near that mark.
kickers do pound and stay intact pretty well except the squares which tend to come apart rather quickly...
if going with kickers i'd say some xpl's but they are going to cost ya. and the amp... i bet you cant even find any 800W (decent quality) for much under $400. so if thats the absolute limit in $$'s stay with what you have or just upgrade one thing ie the subs or the amp or whatever.
custom box minimum 80.00 unless you do it yourself.
car show bass is minimum 2 speakers(many more usually cause the one's you could get away with just two are like 1000 bucks each.)... total sub wattage about 1500W-sky's the limit.
i hope i didnt put a damper on ya... but 400 is just not reasonable for car show bass.

Its not like car shows in major towns. its one at our school and we have one for the kids of our high school and i want to blow away everyone with them... well i can get an amp that can hold up 12's for $150 from a freind who owns a audio shop.. but i want some subs that punch out good bass

I have one Solo L7 12 in my 3000GT and it beats 4 real. I like it. But for the money u tryin to spend....u might as well stay with what u got or just get 2 new subs. i see nothin wrong with Kenwood amps, but I'd ditch them woofers. But for $400...I dunno...flea market shoppin time!

Check out Ample Audio or Autotek.. Good, and really not too expensive..
The stuff you listed is ok, but you could do better for around the same amount of dough..
Maxvla
03-04-2002, 08:55 PM
do not buy the kenwood subs from him for 200.00... you can get those two for one at crutchfield.com or other places. those are about 140ish each. thats the ones i have... yep im poor. but they sound decent. im getting a 600W Phoenix Gold amp... its nice.
side note: you should pay attention to what type of box you want... that makes a big difference in the sound. a bandpass box which is a semi sealed box is good for loud volume but not real punchy and deep good for country jazz some rock. sealed box (best in my opinion) is awesome for deep punchy bass but you dont get quite as much volume good for rap, hip hop, really anything with deeper bass. ported box is awesome for higher louder bass which doesn't have much punch at all. good for rock and jazz.

My friend bought 2 12 in L7's for 400 off ebay, brand new. The guy had a shop near where we lived so it worked out good. Those subs are sweeet. Just make sure you have an amp with some balls. Those things are power hungry.

Ya i know. if i can find a good set for a good price maybe i can get them... i could have had a hcance to got a pair last year they was the L7's with a built in amp for $200 but i went with 2 10's and a 600 watt amp.. that was a mistake... well Maxvla i checked them out and that audio guy has them in his other integra and there only 2 10s and they sound really nice... i just wonder how 3 of them 12's would sound.. he told me that all they do is bass and nothing else... and thas all i want is a sub with hard hitting bass

do it if you like them... 3 12's usually sound pretty good no matter what they are. plan to put a TON of power into them even if they aren't really big power subs. the more power the cleaner the really loud bass is.
i suggest staying away from the L7's. they pound like a sex starved jailbreaker but i know 3 friends that have had them and they have seperated from the surrounds starting in the corners. i love kicker to death but they need to do more work on those.

my good buddy just got 2 10" L5's for i think 130 a pop (and the next week they shot up to $200 a piece) so he got damn lucky, but he has yet to find an amp to push em (doesnt have the $ for a good 1000w amp) and when he finds one on ebay for cheap it turns out his card is maxed out, so he was pissed, but we hooked up my other friends amp to them and only put 50w to each voice coil (100 per sub) and they still hit pretty nice (needless to say i think he'd clobber my MTX, if he ever got an amp...and just think, those things are made for 450w RMS....GOOD LORD! the retard is putting them in a truck...little air spacce!, not even extended cab!!

one of my friends had one 15" kicker xpl with about 400W running to it that put my system to shame as far as bass.
if you are really going freakin loud bass get a 15" or two.
10's are good for clean precise bass 12's are good for louder deeper and still pretty precise bass 15's are good for deeeeeep throbbing loud as hell bass.
Kicker XPL 15" subs are 249.00 list but im sure you can find them cheaper. so get one of those and then spend a few hours on the strip and you'll be able to afford a good amp. lol j/k.

If all you want is bass, get the low end Fosgate 15" woofer- RFZ2415. That woofer will POUND with a mere 200 watts. Get two and send them 500 watts, and you'd be bumpin the neighborhood apart.

I'm not a huge Fosgate fan myself, but when I sold this stuff, we had a pair of the low end Punch 15s hooked up to an old 800a2. We used to pound the hell out of those all day, and we never broke one over the course of about a year.
Fosgate isn't the greatest stuff out there, but on a tight budget it's really not bad at all. They've developed a bad name amongst the die hards for one reason: they used to make an incredible product, but dropped quality in favor of cutting production costs. Don't get me wrong, they're no A/D/S, Dynaudio or Zapco, but contrary to popular belief, they make a decent product for those on a tight budget.

The thing with fosgate is that, we dont know who the hell is making them..
At one point, they were having they're subs built by cheap ass subcontractors.. Shipped to RF, and they put they're logo on it..
Not very honnest IMO.

The is rated 350 x 1 @4ohms..
But its an Ample.. So you could expect a little more.
95$ is a good price. Yes. But dont call it a cheap sub, cause it really isnt.
For different reasons some products sell for less than they are worth.. Example, the Image dynamics subs, they are insane SQ subs, but sell for low quality sub prices..
You should try finding a shop that carries these brands and try them out..
Then you'll know.

Oh cool.. Then go with the Kickers.. If you can afford a strong enough amp go with the COMP VR..
They'll need 400w rms each, for the 12s.
But with the amp that I suggested you could go with the Kicker Comp 12's.. Thats what I have. In the proper box(sealed), they'll play very clean and loud!

4 channel amps pwerform very poorly on subs.
You'll need 400 w rms to EACH sub! If you're planning to feed 200w rms to each subs, you are aiming for the wrong ones.

When you looks at the specs you'll see 2 ratings, one is RMS (can play conitnuously) and max (for a short burst)..
So make sure you look at the RMS figure.
You wanna keep it all Pioneer? Thats not a very good strategy. Pioneer is good for some stuff, and less god for other things.
3 subs?? Dude if you're going with CompVR's try to figure out how you'll power 1-2 subs.
1 subs = 400 watts rms
2 subs = 800 watts rms
And nope, a 4 channel amp is not meant for that type of application. Its meant for 4 interior speakers.

The difference is especially apparent when it comes to subs and amps..
Maxvla
03-15-2002, 09:49 PM
very true accord man.
dont really think about each sub gets one channel.
i have a mono sub amp on two subs and it pounds my daylights out. of course i have very efficient subs so i can get away with it. 93 instead of most kickers are about 88-89. which doesnt mean mine are better they just use power better.
400W rms is alot of power. you don't hafta look quite that high to get good sound out of either xpl's or compvrs. but you should get at least 250W. the rms rating on each of those speakers is xpl-500W compvr- about 400 (i think, dont remember)
so you really don't need to push the limits.
as long as you get at least half the rms number you will get good sound. power is expensive.
if any professionals are reading this forget what i said. what i said is for people who don't have a lot of cash. like me!

Are you nuts?? :crazy: j/k
For certain subs I can agree that you should stay away from the rated peak rms (ex: Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony XPLOD, ect).
But others will suffocate at half the recommended wattage (ex: Orion, Kicker, DD, ect).
And the efficiency rating is a very poor way to judge an audio component..
In this industry there are no set guidlines as to how a manufacturer is supposed to test his products. Its common to have a sub that has 93db sin and one that has 86 db, and somehow the 86db sub is louder.
The main reason for this, is the fact that companies chose their own frequency to test. One did 93db at 90hz and the other did 86db at 35hz.. And the 93db did only 75db at 35hz (& and was about shredding), whereas the 86db sub did 115db at 90hz.
Do you get what I'm saying?
On top of that their is the environment it performs in.. We wont even go there.
Ah hell, let me throw one more thing at you .
If you want to calculate the efficiency of a sub..
For a percentage (%) :
no = K(fs^3Vas)/Qes
in which K= 9.94(10)^-10 for Vas in liters
For SPL :
1W/1M dB = 112 + 10log(base 10) * no
------------------------------------------------------------
Bottom line if you want good subs but wont be able to power them properly, chose another sub.

OK everyone is probably done reading this post but.....
IF YOU WANT MASSIVE BASS and I mean huge bass go with AlumaPro. You may not have heard of it anywhere but it is a fairly new company. A friend of mine bought 1 12" in a ported box for $300(lowest model). It hits harder then any other sub I have ever heard of.
Amazing quality and sound.

um i think a 400 watt amp is wat the guy aid that would do good... he didint say which one i know it has that many watts..
wat do u think is best price.. i think i might just get them kickers and then get a cheaper amp with the other place that has them 3 12's and get one there cheaper

C's 94 InTeGrA

its more than possible to run 3 subs off one channel!
Thats how most guys will do it..
you might want to post what exactly you are about to buy.. which models..
from what it sounds like, you are about to make a humungoloid mistake..

I am getting 3 of these:
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/Pioneer/Images/CarProduct/tsw3041dvc.jpg
dual voice coiled and there rated 800 watts each
Here is the amp i am getting:
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/Pioneer/Images/CarProduct2002/GM-X56.jpg
Its a 2 channel 300 watt and i am using that to power my door speakers and my panel speakers.Continuous Power (14.4V): 65Wx2 (4 ohm), 75Wx2 (2 ohm), 150Wx1 (4 ohm)
Max Power (14.4V): 130Wx2 (4 ohm), 300Wx1 (4 ohm)
Frequency Response: 10Hz - 50kHz (0,-1dB)
Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.008% (1kHz, 4W)
Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 100dB (IHF-A)
then my other amp i cant get a pic of it.. its the older verson of the amp.. but here are the specs:
4 channel 760 watts of power
its the GM- X554 if that helps lol...
So thats wat i am geting and i hope that helps Accord man

the subs are fine..
but the x554 is not meant to power subs.
it gives 50w rms x 4..
and you sub is rated at 400w rms for each sub.
Can you see the problem?

i sure can... what happened to 400 bucks???
damn shame the xpls are discontinued... though im sure you can still buy them a majority of places.
if your willing to spend that much i would get one awesome speaker and dump the rest of the money into powering it.
2 subs don't sound twice as loud. honest truth.

oh boy, you really dont want to go there...
There's a certain truth behind what you're saying.. But a setup with 2 subs is much more forgiving.
