Re: The Ultimate Question!

I am not a mouthpiece for low-hz. I have heard there subs and others like dd and re. The rd subs weren't as loud as the 9500's or xxx but sounded amazing while still running 2000 watts. Just a suggestion if you can't afford dd or re. Personally I am a DD fan but not everyone has the money.

Fiberglass, or abs but you would need to make a mold to make it out of ABS. Fiberglass is the best DIY solution.

I wouldnt even rate the XXX and the 9500 on the same series one is an SPL sub and the other is an SQL sub. MAybe the old XXX could rate with it but the new XXX would blow a 9500 away even for an SQL sub it gets very loud. Not sure if you understand the abilities of a driver with an X-max of almost 5".

and one that also weighs 78 lbs the only real thing bad about the XXX is that it is loud to human ears but not on test equipment.

You will be very lucky. I had one guy freak out when he seen my RE comps, he started saying how he only knew of a few people who have ever heard of them. It was bad enough only one of the guys at the IASCA booth had ever heard of Ascendant Audio. And one of the other ones didnt believe me that they where SQ subs. What makes things even better was when i was at wally world the other day (long story). I was talking to these two guys and they seen my enclosure through the window, well one of the guys had a maxima with 2 15" L7's and he was claiming to have a 10k watt rockford amp. Which there was no way in hell considering my setup sounded louder by alot. His friend was just in awe, and the other guy was like ive never heard of them they must suck. I didnt feel like getting into it as i was already late for work.

Re: The Ultimate Question!

Haha ya I bet your system lowered his ego about his system and shut him up for a bit on the way home. LoL. Ya I hope to get one of these ALMIGHTY subs someday but being 15 my budget wont alow it. So ill settle for less for now. But does it only take one of these sub's (Like anyone could aford more lol) to be louder (and sound beeter) than most cars with more, bigger lower class sub's?

Re: The Ultimate Question!

I put 2 twelve inch woffer's with a 1200 watt sony amp. in my daughter's 02 Grand Prix, they were put in what I assume you call a fart box and placed back to back with the rear seat in the trunk and you can bet you can here her from 2 or more miles away and the back glass is about 1 dec. from cracking out,,that's a bit much for an old man like me,,but it should be enough to do the trick in your car,to bad you have to take the seats out.

Re: The Ultimate Question!

Haha do you know were I could get one of those bumper stickers? If not ill prob just make one but im not going to put it on the outside of my car (even though its a BUMPER sticker) because I dont want my system getting jacked and its kinda cocky yet realy funny so ill just put it on the box or something. And yes I just want more than 12" im getting 15" and they wont fit in the tiny tundra that im getting so im taking the seats out.

Ive seen that somewhere before. I thought it was funny as crap. There are a bunch of people around here that have loud systems that sound like crap, mainly cause they dont upgrade there front speakers they just throw subs in the cars. and most of them just use audiobahns, or some crap they think sounds good. My favorite was the kid in high school that use 2-15" home speakers in his escort. We used to dog on him so bad and he got into talking about how his system is so this and that. And back at that time i didnt know much about stereo's i bought my first set of good subs, 2-infinity perfect 12"s. A profile amp mb quart 6x9"s in the rear and a set of power acoustik 4" speakers in the dash. It sounded pretty good il admit it wasnt the best. But it was the loudest one at the high school. The kid with the house speakers was an idiot.

Re: The Ultimate Question!

Ya I plan to eventually upgrade everything. And should I add some 6x9's along with replacing the door speakers and what is a good brand to use when wanting good sound quality with the door speaker mids and tweeters or should I just get some three ways (and three ways are the mid tweeter and bass all thrown into one speaker right) (I felt dumb asking that but ive never realy known)
