old school subs

[chopper1982]

I just wanna know if any one is still running PPI subs and if so how they are holding up cause I have 2 10" that are 5 years old and still pound like a new rockford

Rockfords dont really pound all that well anymore. However i did have a set of old polk EX II 12's from about 96-97 so about 10 year old subs. And they put alot of stuff to shame.

i got two of the old ppi but i had to do repairs on them after we went a competetion a couples of months ago the cones started to tear.

thats what im saying, they put new tech to shame and there old tech

[pimprolla112]

No they put new stuff to shame cause the enclosure and the enclosure aim. They only had 75 rms going to each and i was able to hit off 138db. My new setup issingle 15" 200 watts, 3.5 cuft proted to 32hz and it hits so much harder than the polks did, and it sounds so much cleaner

older subs needed less power but a bigger box

[chopper1982]

the point is that they still sound good for the $

my first system was 3 10" ppi's and an orian extreme 800

speakers can last a long time if they are kept out of the sun and not abused (too much power)
