big big big subs

[jrock262]

i was thinking bout 1 or 2 , 18 " inch subs
i was wondering i havent hurd them just seen some in mags an stores
are they spl machines or just ego steppers
any suggestions ?

[02whtxblazer]

The biggest I would go is 15".

You could get a 15 or even a 12 to hit the low notes just fine, it all depends on the box. My 1 15 will hit the low notes with ease, but my box is tuned to 30 hz.

[jrock262]

i just want it for mirrior shakeing bumpin

[daryl]

So you just want plain annoying noise then, nothing to actually enhance the music...just have it all bass. Well if you want that I have not seen 18s in any store so just get four 15"s then you can have all the boom so loud you can't hear anything but the subs.

[jrock262]

naw i was gonna but bass blockers on my infinety kappa plates the 4x6 s
an i got kappa door speakers an i was gonna run a pair of 6x9 in the back with the 1 18"

Try this (http://www.mtxaudio.com/caraudio/products/subwoofers/jackHammer.cfm)

[jrock262]

you think it would break the glass if i made a side fire across against the rear of the cab wall with dynamat behind it

[jrock262]

320 pounds 2 feet long come on now , 6 grand

[rhockey66]

I think that would break the face of someone in the car. Yep, break their face.

Here in Augusta there's a fella with a single kicker 18L7 hitting just north of 160. So a pair of kicker 18L5's should be able to do everything you're wanting.

mtx jackhammer - probably a terrible sub. similar to the audiobahn 32".

how many people actually have the room and the money to get one??? they knew this when designing it, so i doubt they put much time and effort in the design and build of the sub. i could come up with a system that would slaughter that sub with 1/4 of what it cost.

[daryl]

One 18" would not be too bad, but two...no. Dynomat in the back cab area and behind all the doors is highly suggested as even a GOOD 10" will rattle a vehicle. I have seen 10" hit damn hard, which makes me ask why an 18", as the 10" hits lower notes and will offer plenty of boom.

lol i like a lttile base to add to the song, but ii dunno about 2 18's...i dont want migraine problems

pyle is a pyle of crap right ?
Volfenhag amps any good ?
JL or mtx ?
spl amps good ? i used there caps an the elf-12 s
rockford gots one for a wobbing 500 $

[wakenbake]

They put that mtx in one of the cars on pimp my ride and they had to wear ear protection.

pyle is not very good.
volfenhag - flea market garbage.
JL, of course.
not sure about spl.

another reason i wouldn't recommend an 18 is because not many companies make them. if you must get an 18, get a RE XXX. it is a very good sub for the price. but then you would have to have an amp to push that monster.

[jrock262]

what bout the spl id admit my first truck! my first system !
i got a hatch back box bigger than shit put i standing up in my x cab of my 95 noma got the spl elf 12 s an i didnt know this when i got it but i had an still do a pyramid super blue amp 2 x 75 watts belive me it doesnt say the specs on old amps so i didnt know it made such weak power tell i found the manuel when we were strippin my friends camaro . i coulda smaked him for sellin such a bitch amp
but it was only 20 $ for it but still it made them spls bump hard as hell well i guess they would when they are 2 feet from your ears but i made car alarms go off with this ... i think pyramid made better stuff in the past then now i got a pyramid dvd player an a 7 inch lcd that took a crap on me i shoulda bought the warrenty
i tried to get my manufactors but pyramid doesnt answer the phones like they havent paid there water bill or somethin

im still paranoid that the product comments left by so called customers
still think it just factory left just 2 suck you in !

[jrock262]

im prolly gonna buy the pyle look like a bad ass magnet an craddle on the back dual voice coil over an a 3 year warrenty for 20 bucks more

[02whtxblazer]

damn, i need a translator to read your posts. seriously, when i get done reading your posts, i am tired.

[nickr5208]

i was thinking about getting a bazooka tube for my xcab as i still wanna have some use of the fold downs. what do u guys think, is a bazooka tube worth the money?

[jrock262]

the tubes sound good but just arent that loud not ment 2 be either something you would listen 2 rock with but pretty easy installtion

[oweezy9]

The bigger the sub you get, the more distorted the bass is...generally speaking. A 12" sub can hit the really low notes, but the 15's are certainly considerably louder.

[oweezy9]

I compared the infinity basslinks to pretty much anything else in a car audio listening booth. ...Does not even compare. I would say they are pretty much a waste of money if you have any idea on how to set up a system.

[02whtxblazer]

not true. over-excursion (or uneven cone movement) causes distortion, not cone size. i have never heard my 15 distort.

[jrock262]

i thot that was a 12 at first but moveing on , 2 ohm or 4 ohms ?

[02whtxblazer]

it depends on what amp you have/plan on using and the number of subs you are going to use.

1 sub, and a 1 ohm stable amp - dual 2 ohm sub.
1 sub, and a 2 ohm stable amp - dual 4 ohm sub.
2 subs, and a 1 ohm stable amp - dual 4 ohm subs.
2 subs, and a 2 ohm stable amp - dual 2 ohm subs or single vc 4 ohm subs.

my amp is 2 ohm stable, so i got a dual 4 ohm sub. that way in the future, i could buy another sub, but i would have to get a 1 ohm stable amp.

[number3stunner]

Anyone seen this? It looks like it would solve the space issues and would probably sound good too. The only thing i dont really like is that is sticks out a little far. It also looks tough as hell to so you wouldnt have to worry about people stealing it. I wish they made it so i could put my 12s in it.

[jrock262]

that thing is ugly as hell i would do it for a regular cab but not a exd
diffently a reg cab thing

[jrock262]

when you say dual you mean dual voice coil over right ,

think 2 10 infinety perfects will do it justice ?

[02whtxblazer]

yes, when i said dual i meant dual voice coil. for more info on wiring, or if you need diagrams click on this link (www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp).

those infinity perfects are nice subs. one of my buddies has a single 12 in an xtreme blazer like mine and it hits hard and sounds good. i think he hit a 137 on the termlab, which is pretty good. my 15 only hit 139.7.

[jrock262]

did yall see the mythbusters where they tried to make hmm shit his pants or something i didnt really get the chance to watch it all

but any way they had like 12 15"s in ported boxs shot 150 db somethin
like instant ear damage volume, they said 130 somethin is loud as a jackhammer ,

any way i didnt see the end did he shit his pants ? haha :D

[02whtxblazer]

there is a certain hertz that supposedly makes you lose control of your bowels. it is called the "brown note." from what i have read, it is just a myth.

[Dimematters]

nope, the myth was busted. They went as low as 3or 5 hz at like 180(inaudible) decibels and nothing.

[i0kepa]

On Pimp my Ride they put one of those jack hammers in some guys car. They had to build reinforcment plates around it just support the weight of that damn thing!

[jrock262]

ya that thing wieghs 300 lbs , how much you think they spent on amps, an caps, an alternators, an metal fab , i bet pimp my ride is bull

can we say sh*t ?

[rutdigger78]

maybe if you mount that jackhammer on your bumper facing back, you could help yer quarter mile times; or even save ga$...lol :confused:

[jrock262]

that jackhammer is just for show i bet any body can match the spl with 10's

[danssoslow]

What was that PMR car capable of. Someone told me 180dB, not a sound guy! :D
