upcoming substage

[L|_|da]

*edited*
after relealizing how stupid my last plan was ive decided on either a single 18 or a dual 12 setup. i know very little about high subwoofers. ive hear alot of good stuff about RE and Adire and AA. im looking for a good daily driver but i also want to be able to crank it up and show off. i want to ideally be able to be both of these systems: 4X pioneer 800W sealed. and 2 audiobahn 1200W bandpass. from what i hear anything from any of the afore mentioned companies should be able to destroy these w setups. i want SQL, but if i have to deviate to eaither spl or sq ill go towards spl, ive got mids and tweets to sound good.

thanks in advance for all your help!

the last one is a huge waste of money, just go with a single 15 or 18

i figured the last one was a huge waste of money, would look pretty cool though.

any ideas on the budget system?

and which would yall recommend: 2 12"s or 1 18" ive got a huge trunk so hte enclosure size inst a problem. i want the best sql possible.

do you need the SQ? cause IMO youd be wasting a lot of cash if you are lookign for mostly SPL. there are cheaper subs that get louder.

1 18> 2 12's both efficent wise and displacement... ie it will get louder with 1/2 the power...

Yes, but its hard to get 7-8 cubes net in a car and still have a proper setup where the bass isn't all muffled out by bad positioning soooo.....

2 12's properly setup> 1 18 in a poor install.

i do have the room for a 7-8 cube enclosure.

what am would you recommend for a dual XXX12 or a single XXX18, and what box type and size. the recommened is 2.3cuft for each 12 and 4.2 for each 18.

and i dont NEED the sq, but i would like it. this will be my daily driver, but i want something that i can show off with. so if youve got suggestions please tell me, im still fairly new to this stuff. obviously a cheaper solution would be better, but i want some high quality stuff, not of that audiobahn shit or anything like that [yes i admit there crap, my right 6x9 separated, the VC i think. ill have pictures on here when i can get them uploaded from my phone.]

andi didnt know what to call it so i called it substage.

[bumpinstang77]

well if you aren't overly concerned w/ SQ go with SX's....... and 7-8 cubes is NET the gross volume will be near 10 cubes.

whats hte price difference?

and what kind of box? ported/sealed. 3/4" MDF?

do you have to have RE? they areont the only company that can provide budget SQL

edit:
a guy over on SIN hit 143dB with 8 RE 8's in an enclosure tuned to 50Hz, 40Hz and 30Hz (port plugs) and 8 RE 8's should be around the price of an SX 18, or at least they are to where i live. and the thing is he only had 150w TOTAL to all 8 drivers so 19w per driver. very impresive.
