sub choice

[Jetts]

well shibby
i cant decied on subs..

2 Kicker Solobaric L7's 10 inch
2 Audiobahn Flames 12 inch
2 Infinity kappa perfects 10 inch


thx plz post a reason for your vote

[hondacivic4drlx]

i think the audiobahn's are nice, especaillyu mounted backwards.

[turbcivic]

Kicker L7s=SPL, square and we all know it is not cool to be square
Flames=IMO, gay, i don't like them but that is just me
Kappa=Great SQ, not so high on SPL but sound great and clear

My vote is for Kappas.

[Jetts]

im leaning towards the kappa or the L7's but i cant chose

[Jetts]

im not like a sub expert but what is db and sb and spl?
kinda stupid questions but i have no clue what they are

[strodda]

db stands for decibels. sq-sound quality, and spl-sound pressure level.. i think, i could just be makin shit up

id im gonna agree with turbo, go for the perfects. i dont like kicker, no reason. and the flames are for people who dont know or give a shit about quality.... all they know is they want it real damn loud.

[turbcivic]

The flames aren't even that loud. I am one of those people that goes for loud look at my sig. and that is with two viper 12.2s that are SQ.

yea the kappa perfects are cheaper but i like the square design wasnt a big fan of audiobahn but that was my other choice

then just go for the l7's. if you wanna get real crazy, try the new xplod's. you can go boomin with octagons. or maybe even some triangular bazookas... companies and their dumbass gimmicks, when will it ever end.

[PaulD]

it won't ..... every manufacturer tries to get a leg up on the competition, so you will always see some crazy stuff - as they attempt to make their stuff look different than everyone elses.

[Jetts]

they make octagon subs?
so u are saying kicker square subs are just a gimmic not worth it?

[Gusto222]

Squares are nice.. but dont handle that much juice..
Flames are lame... PUSH alot of air but dont make alot of sound.. if u knwo what i mean... I listened to there demo car @ carlisle '02 -- w/ like 6-18z -- & IT moved alot of air.. but u didnt hear alot of bass...
Tha PERFECTS - Ive heard them a couple times.. a kid i yusta knwo had 2-12z int ha back a 96 stang.. & it HIT pretty damn hard.. & really clean.. i would recommend them outta tha 3 choices..


~~~~~~~
i have a pic of tha install.. but for sum reason it wont let me psot it-- even though its belwo 10kb

[strodda]

well its actually a pentagon, but you get the idea. just like paulD said, its a bunch of fluff. any person out there that doesnt know shit about subs will see the xplod's and think, wow thats cool looking, and buy them. and thats exactly what they want people to do. if youre not too stuck on the shape of the kickers, go for the perfects

btw, here they are

those two statememnt don't go together ..... pushing lots of air is what bass is all about. Making bass is just like making HP - it's the diameter of the woofer times distance it travels up and down (like HP is a function of bore X displacement). It might have not had a subsonic filter, and most of the sound was below what you could here.

yea i want kappa perfects cause my friend just bought 2 12's and put them in his truck and omg im in love!!!!

like i dont remember the watt max for the 10's but i think it is like 1100watts so what kinda wattage should i run like 600apeice or what and what are some good amps?
