Best for

ok basically im trying to spend less then $500. should i get 2 10" sony xplodes with a 1200W Sony xplode, or 2 10" pioneers with a a 760W (possibly 2 amps)? i have a pioneer cd deck that has 50x4 power. what should i do? if none of these are good, let me know please!

'noma pimpin is easy

Sony Xplod BLOWS!

Xplod is ****, please step away from thier products. pioneer is good but u can do better.

first off what vehicle and whats ur expectations?

I like pioneer head units a lot...

Specially pimp ones like this...

^ I have that


Don't go with Sony.

I have 2 Alpine Type R 12" and 1 JBL1200.1 amp, a box, a wiring kit... And I spent about $600

I've heard nothing but bad about sony
I'd go with alpines..type R..maybe type S if you wanna spend a bit less

ok
i have a 95 sonoma extended cab... i want some bass, but not so im thumpin the hell outta my head, just enough to make me vibrate and or a little more.

2 10s, bout 200 watts to each should get what u want...

anyone know any good stores in michigan (metro detroit) that i could get what i want?

id look for one good 10 or 12 inch sub and amp according. its better to have one good sub for space and cost. u can get a sub/amp/wiring w/o for about $400. can u make a box urself? if so then ur ahead of the game...

Yeah, i got two kicker 12's, 350 amp, wireing kit, and box for $400. You should be able to get something pretty good with $100 more.

kicker compVR or alpine typeR... either one really... they are somewhat comparable.

The CVR should get louder until you hit somewhere around 600-800 watts... depends on the install.

Either one would be a good way to go.

i like the CVR--they get LOUD, and they are cheap too

Yep cvr's are very loud for their price.

Check out a company called Resonant Engineering www.reaudio.com I just got one of their low end RE series subs and it is amazing. The price is awesome too. They're a little upstart company that's well known in competition circles. They make a very tough/overbuilt product that sounds great.

Check out the RE10. It wants ~200watts RMS and is about $60-$70 shipped. Two of those should suit you nice. If you do want to blow your hair around you could step up to the SE series (600W $150) but that may squeeze the budget a bit

As for amps, USacoustics, hifonics, or alpine are some good ones for price and quality... there are many others as well

I created a set up for a kid here that had $500 to spend on a box, sub, amp, and underbody. He has now has a diamond CM2 12" sub with a coustic 400 watt amp, wireing kit, box, and SG GS, with some money to spare. The diamond and the coustic hit pretty decent. Better than i had thought it would.

by the way **** SONY.

this topic is a bit old don't ya think.. =P

Less power just means its more effecient. It depends on things like what its made out of and what it sounds like to determine if its any good.

sony blows more then Jenna Jameson

HAHAHAHAHAHAH ^^^^^

Let's not forget about a capacitor. When you get all that stuff installed. Check your headlights and see if they dim when the bass hits. If it does you'll need a capacitor. 500watt = 1/2 farad 1000watts = 1 farad. Check ebay for rockford. They got good capacitors. I'm looking for one right now and ebay has them for about $90 after s/h for a 1 farad. If you go anywhere else you'll pay about $150 for 1 farad. But if your lights don't dim, then don't worry about the capacitor.

CAPS ARE ***. SCREW THEM IN THEIR DIRTY TERMINALS!

I have a *** cap in my Jeep...

I like Batcaps

using a cap to fix light dimming is just a jerry-rig fix. If that happens you should really upgrade your grounds and alternator.

A cap really helps most with transient responce from your mids and highs. A cap discharges too fast to help with a sustained bass hit... but its perfect for supplying power for a quick sharp change in the music.

batcaps are different :-P its a battery and cap. but still batcaps dont really help to much from what ive seen. they actually lose you a couple tenths from things ive read. meh.
