You should probably do the "big 3" upgrade too (replacing all the wiring in the engine compartement with 0/1 gauge wire). A new battery or two would be a good idea too. All those expensive upgrades is why I'm happy with just having a single sub taking less than 500 watts.

Or you could ask sum1 who has real EXPERIENCE with one...and who JUST might own one right now...

is i do get massive subs like that, im swithcing them into my next vehicle, so its a long term investment. im still looking in to it though. it says on there site that they dont NEED massive power, ive heard of them taking insane amounts of it,3000W+. im sitll looking aorund though cuz the alt and bats are gonna be expensive, and im not sure i want to put THAT much effort into this car. depends on how amazing the subs sound, im also looking @ RE's XXX line.

CBFryman · #20 04-28-2005, 03:55 PM

1600w is thermal RMS. which means that is what the coil can handle but the sub doesnt nessicarily need that to reach full excursion. in a ported enclsore or even a decently small selaed enclsore it usually takes more than 1600w to reach a full 64mm P2P (*from the reading i have done)
3000w is probably for bups, NOT daily. 3000w is WAY too much for a sub rated to 1600 RMS.
if an XXX18 is too large getthe 15, it is still a performer. actually, even the XXX10 is kick ass, and the XXX line is chepaer than a lot subs in that class of performance and quality.

Why?
I HATE it when that is peoples only goal. If you just wanna get lous to annoy other people, get 2 15" L7's and give them 1000 watts each. Then proceed to drive around BLARING Late Night Tip with you trunk open...

The strero should be for you, not everyone else.
This is why people hate other people with bass in their cars...

hah, I'm younger than you and I feel the same way. We're fighting a losing battle on this forum though, most people here are all about getting loud (not all of them want to disturb the peace though). But not all forums are like this, if you haven't yet you might want to check out www.elitecaraudio.com, most people over there don't really care about getting loud, they focus on sound quality.

i want to be loud, yes... im still young... so yea.... but i want teh XXX's cuz there gonna sound nice when there loud, and when i have them turned down

UndercoverPunk · #25 04-29-2005, 02:40 PM

There's nothing wrong with wanting a setup that can get loud, but aleast do what you can to keep as much of that sound in your car.

That's all I'm saying.

CBFryman · #26 04-29-2005, 03:45 PM

meh. me only want loud to make others STFU about their systems....

PaulD · #27 04-29-2005, 06:29 PM

yea, you notice most of the posts involve how to get "attention getting" bass levels ?

Mannyb18b · #28 04-29-2005, 06:48 PM

I'll be running a sealed AA Ava, an I'm usually an "attention getter" type person, I just love it when people see the AA an think its flee market crap thats never been heard of......an then its heard.

CBFryman · #29 04-29-2005, 09:24 PM

wait....didnt you have an XXX15? why did you go for an Ava?

GSteg · #30 05-01-2005, 02:29 AM

perfect timing. i'm selling my 15" RE SE dual 4ohm. its the 2003 bewb cone though, not the smooth cone. good news is that it has been used for less than 3 hours. the surround is still stiff on it.

$125 shipped to the lower 48 states
