View Full Version : Which subs if competition Egungon 05-30-2006, 07:50 PM Okay, so here is what I have come up with. I am looking to go into competition with the system that I get. Some say chose SPL or SQ. Well, what if i want 2-3 subs, but want them to have high quality. Is that both? What are the best or top of the line subwoofers out there, where can I find them, and how many wats do they peak at. Money is not an issue here, I have no budget. avsmusic1 05-30-2006, 08:09 PM the critical mass ul12 got a crazy good review in the newest issue of car audio and electronics avsmusic1 05-30-2006, 08:12 PM you say you want to go to competitions.... are you asking for help with the rest of the system or just the subs? ..............also, keep in mind our cars arent exactly designed for sweet systems so i hope you dont have a prob. mixing some glass :D thedieselspeaks 05-30-2006, 08:20 PM What kind of competitions do you mean? If money is no issue then I'd suggest going to a more car audio focused board like termpro or elitecaraudio or carstereos.org and asking around about installers in your area. If you have that kind of cash then alot of it should be spent on the installation. The enclosure is going to be key for a little more SPL, or if you want it to look bling a good installer will fiberglass whatever design you have in your head. They'll be able to help you with the sub selections also. Daishi00 05-30-2006, 08:40 PM I agree with the above posters, but will try to answer some of your questions. Subs SUPPOSEDLY the Critical Mass (read the same review sounds insane..and it should be at that price). SEAS DLS ID Alumapro (many like them like me :) ) JL (don't listen to Tang he's just bitter haha j/k) Amps ARC Zapco DLS Tru Brax (from what I've been reading, though never messed with one myself) Helix (same as above) schuey_1 05-30-2006, 08:57 PM Your location ? i might be able to help you with your install.If yu don't it right our car can sound good. Egungon 05-30-2006, 10:12 PM i live in central pa, so critical mass is good? Daishi00 05-30-2006, 10:16 PM yeah, but have you seen the pricetag? like 2 grand or something. Supposedly unreal BUT it's a magazine article for the review. If money's not an option go for it.

Bring a check book, preferably Trump's. I hate to say it, but it does not sound like you have the background to pull this off without serious support and knowledge in your area. You will spend more money learning how to do things right, than brining in a specialist. Just my MSRP $0.02 iownaspec 05-31-2006, 02:04 AM first off you have 1 flaw. if you want to do sound competition you HAVE to choose either sq or spl. some can do both but thier budget is around 100k. anyways. if you have a wagon you can actually do really well in spl. anything with a trunk isnt going to be ideal for spl. if you are serious check out sounddomain.com's forum and termpro.com forums nerdydorkus 05-31-2006, 04:35 AM RESONANT ENGINEERING ftw! re audio is the cleanest spl/sq sub ive ever owned, too bad i blew it, and i have owned 14 different model subwoofers. the cleanest but not loudest is my current boston acoustic g512-4. and my loudest but not cleanest were my 4 audiobahn flame compression. im all about sound quality now. trust me you get over the whole loud bump bump around the street quickly. or am i just getting old... 20 yrs old lol. current setup pioneer 8600 headunit eclipse 4 channel 100x4 diamond audio d6 audio mono amp focal 6.5 components up front mb quart 5.25 coaxial in the rears boston acoustic g512-4 subwoofer stinger wires and rcas all around szeny 05-31-2006, 04:58 AM Memphis Subs hit good reality1011 05-31-2006, 07:52 AM your best bet is to do a lot of research. What everyone says here is fine but the installation is going to be a good portion of your output. You are going to have to deaden everything, let alone find decent equipment. Alpine type R's are some of the best budget subs that can get loud avsmusic1 05-31-2006, 01:20 PM the box is important if u deside to go type r aznburn210 05-31-2006, 01:23 PM i like .. dd treo re mtx 9500 series ID ARC new cerwin vega.. oh check out the new strokers skittles15 05-31-2006, 02:16 PM RESONANT ENGINEERING ftw! re audio is the cleanest spl/sq sub ive ever owned, too bad i blew it, and i have owned 14 different model subwoofers. the cleanest but not loudest is my current boston acoustic g512-4. and my loudest but not cleanest were my 4 audiobahn flame compression. im all about sound quality now. trust me you get over the whole loud bump bump around the street quickly. or am i just getting old... 20 yrs old lol. current setup pioneer 8600 headunit eclipse 4 channel 100x4 diamond audio d6 audio mono amp focal 6.5 components up front mb quart 5.25 coaxial in the rears boston acoustic g512-4 subwoofer stinger wires and rcas all around My experience with RE is they are just a fart cannon.
