Title: Looking for Sub and Amp suggestions Post by: Stl_Sebring on April 19, 2006, 01:41:41 PM I upgraded my system on an impulse yesterday. I added a very nice JVC head unit, Rockford Punch 3.5" tweeters (pain in the ass to get in!), and Infinity R-type door and 6x9 speakers. -- and since my JL 12in sub finally blew after 8 years, I hooked my 250 watt Kenwood amp up to my two Rockford 8's. Sounds great, but now I need the bass. Any suggestions on a nice Sub and Amp. I think I want to stick with just one 12in and use my old box. Thanks.

My friend suggested this, http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7635909&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03085&id=1141762608835 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7635909&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03085&id=1141762608835) Bestbuy Tech recommended, http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7652596&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03087&id=1134701298023 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7652596&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03087&id=1134701298023) Title: Re: Looking for Sub and Amp suggestions Post by: Daes on April 26, 2006, 02:43:15 AM Just in case anyone doesnt know, Rockford Fosgate is now a Wal-Mart brand. Meaning it is built very cheap and is not very durable. If you want Rockford, I suggest looking for a Punch Power HX2 12" subwoofer. I had two of these in my car and it hit HARD!

Not a fan of Rockford. I push Alpine R-types heavily, but Infinity Kappa Perfects are crazy, and SoundStream also pump. Title: Re: Looking for Sub and Amp suggestions Post by: Stl_Sebring on April 27, 2006, 02:52:07 PM I went ahead and got the JVC head, Rockford Punch 4in tweeters, Alpine R-Types 6" door speakers, Alpine R-type 6x9's, a Rockford Punch P3 12" sub powered by a 600W Alpine mono amp. I also have my 250W Kenwood amp pushing my two Rockford 8's.
Sounds pretty damn good. Title: Re: Looking for Sub and Amp suggestions Post by: Darktengu on April 27, 2006, 09:53:19 PM Glad you like it. And more glad you went the Alpine way for some of it. now we need pics of you install.
Title: Re: Looking for Sub and Amp suggestions Post by: Daes on April 28, 2006, 04:34:14 AM Kicker L7's or JL Audio W6's are my top pics. I havent had the chance to hear Alpine subs yet. I'll put that on my to do list.
Title: Re: Looking for Sub and Amp suggestions Post by: Bizzo on June 20, 2006, 07:40:36 AM Image Dynamics has about the best sub goin right now. I've heard one beside a JL w7 and I have to say i might acually like the ID better. Specifically an ID vMAX 12 in sub, they make all sizes. The design has been the same for over 5 years and these things rock. They are 1000w rms but rated for 2000w rms peak so go nuts. I have one hooked up to a 500w RF Power D-Class amp (0nly half it's rated power) and it sounds great. I've also hooked it up to a RF 100 w old school amp and it sounds great with low power too. You can find em for under 400 canadian dollars. I personally run a JL w6 v2 and I love that.
As for amps, MTX, Pheonix Gold, RF all make solid amps as resonable prices. If you have the money then get a JL amp (voltage regulated and all that) or an orion. Title: Re: Looking for Sub and Amp suggestions Post by: installerguy on July 22, 2006, 10:27:23 PM Look at the MTX 7512-44, awesome sub, good sql. By the way, I have two Kicker L7 12's I am trying to get rid of. PM me if anyone is interested.
Title: Re: Looking for Sub and Amp suggestions Post by: DangerboyJr on July 24, 2006, 11:55:43 AM The JL W7's sound Effin amazing. Kicker Comp VR(what I got sound nice) or like Darktengu said... Alpine Type R
