opinions needed

Please see post #15...

 

just one 12? really dont need more than that. too much bass is "wack" when you cant even hear the music itself. dont forget to update with pictures!

 

ya the only thing agaisnt the 12" was that idk if it can keep up with some songs and i dont want to spend the extra $$$ on a capasitator.... and ya will do!

 

any other thoughts?

 

?

 

bump................

 

I prefer a single 10... always have, always will

 

can you expand on that please? haha

 

Expand on why I like a single 10??

 

ya why just a single 10?

 

Like Brock said, for one, smaller cones typically results in less distortion....

More versatile, has always played loud enough for my taste... granted the last 10 that I bought (at the time) retailed for roughly $500 (I only paid $150 thanks to a vendor hookup). I ran two 10's back in high school (mid 90's) in a pre-made bandpass box that I always thought sounded good until I bought a pair of good 10's and learned from my mistakes... then I get into my late 20's, have a bit more expendable income, and learn again and buy a much nicer single 10 and learn how to become friends with vendors and their engineering department and get "top secret" plans for an experimental box.

I build said box, tweak it slightly, and then one day a guy at the gas station heard me at the light and asked how many 12's I had in my trunk ("Three, right?" was what he said). I told him a single 10 and had to pop the trunk to prove it to him

 

ya being a college student i have limited money to spend do you still advise i stick with 1 10" ( i was looking at the kick 10" for about 70 bucks)

 

I'm out of the loop when it comes to actual gear... it's been 8+ years since I installed anything let alone looked at buying something. My favs had always included the Alpine Type R subs (Type S are also pretty decent for their price) and the Diamond Audio subs.

My recipe for success:
Better sub, better amp, more power, more output > cheaper but more subs, cheaper amp cuz you spent twice as much on a pair of subs, less power (or at least less clean power), less output (or more distortion)

Also, on a weird note... ever noticed that speakers in general and subs specifically don't have distortion ratings? Ever wonder why that is?

 

So i built it and havent cut the hole for the sub yet and decided i dont want ot spend the money for a nice system.

so im sell the custom sub box that fits inbetween the two front seats and rests on the rear seat but i made it so the back seat can still seat 2 ppl with the sub box installed

ill post up pics when i can
