Good Sub

[zypher]

Can any of you audiophiles suggest a good 12" sub? I have a Rockford Fosgate HE 10" right now and I love it, I just want to be able to hit lower frequencies. I will be pushing it with this : http://www.crutchfield.com/S-TLkMUYscguC/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?i=130GMX962&trans=1&cc=01&search=GM%2DX962.

My current setup is here: http://members.cox.net/parkern/Stereo_98.html

I would go with a JL W6 (or W7 but I say the W6 because I have actually heard them before and man....they bump...they bump nice) If i had the money I know I would have a pair of em. They dont have specs for them right on jlaudio.com but I am pretty sure that they are 400 watt rms, and that should be good with that amp.

I have that Amp in my escort, it WONT run a W6 or W7 it just doesnt have the gusto. Mine is running a single 12W0 and it sounds good.

i have a 12" infinity that would be good :)

i have a 12" infinity that would be good :)What kind is it? Reference, or Kappa? I am looking for low frequency response. I really like the high excursion type of subs.

I'm using one of the older Directed Comp X 12"s and I'm pretty happy with it. Seems to do pretty good with the lower frequencies from what I can tell. I am running it a little higher than I should be for power but it still doesn't seem to bottom out or anything unless I really crank the stereo but I am running it at about 1000 watts at 1.5ohm or so.... Definitely worth the price if you can still find them

its a kappa.... its listed under the forsale forum.

Dont get your hopes too high of what that amp will run correctly like I said I have the same one in my escort and it does a good job with (1) 12W0 which is a high efficiency sub, I tried running my (2) 12W3's off of it and it worked, but it kept shutting off and wasnt even as loud as the (1) 12W0

Yea, I plan on just staying with 1 sub. I want to keep one of the passenger seats open in the Ranger, just in case.

[mnchvgs79]

In that case, I would go with a single JL 12W0 or 12W1 (4 OHM)

whats your budget man? If you want a sub to play low, you need to get yourself a ported box thats tuned real low, like in the 25hz range.

let me know how much you are willing to spend and i will throw out a few recomendations.
