Sir-Lancelot's Build Log - Updated July 17th - Page 8
chrisommer replied to Sir-Lancelot's topic in Build Logs
Looks great! giving me some ideas.... after I get tired of my ID's of course -
Hey guys! New member from Indianapolis. I came here, like a lot of newbies, to read comparisons and opinions on different subs. After my first post (missed this part of the site) I decided that instead of asking which would be best why not learn the ins and outs of a subwoofer and what all of the specs actually mean. I have really picked up a lot from this site, it is my favorite audio site by far.

A guy I work with has (2) 12" Hifonics Brutus in a sealed box. He said he would give them to me for $60.00, do you think this is a good deal? I have not seen them yet, he will be bringing them in tomorrow. I am not to concerned with how they will sound. I will be getting my new setup in September so basically they will be used in the mean time. Onlinecarstereo.com has them for 119.00 Ea., I am thinking that I may even be able to sell them for a profit when i am thru with them. I know I said I dont care how they sound, BUT have any of you guys heard them? What would you compare them with?

Do not usually watch tv. But my GF watches reality shows and informative shows.... I peak around the computer screen every once in awhile to see whats going on. Tyra had a lady on her show who wanted to have a 3 some wit her boy friend and an Asian girl. That got my attention -
Most of my family lives in Greenwood. Let me know when you get the SA-8's. I would LOVE to hear them

My jeep has 6x9 in the front and 6.5 in the back. Thy are the infinity gold system that came with the jeep. I just purchased a pair of ID ctx65cs speakers and am stuck on what I should do. My options are as follows 1. Put ID component set in back and replace front 6x9 with ID ctx69. Buy a 4 channel amps to run all 4 2. Buy another set of ctx65cs and run them in front and back off a 4 channel amp 3. Put ctx65cs in front and run off a 2 channel amp(100rms x2). Run the stock rear speakers off of the head unit. What do you guys think? I am leaning towards option 3, it will allow me to save money towards my subwoofer. I know with option 3 that my music will be a good deal louder than stock, so I am not really concerned with that. I just want to see what some of you guys would do if you were in my situation. Thanks for the opinions Also, sorry for my wording not being that great, I using my phone. Damn computer virus'

I am currently running a 10" Alpine type R off an Alpine M450 Amp. The type R is in a large ported enclosure. It sounds terrible with the type of music i listen to (hard rock). It will play pretty low and get loud while listening to rap, but I hardly ever listen to rap. I only put this in my Jeep as a quick fix (paid 100 for amp, sub, and box) and now I finally have the money to do a whole new system. My local shop keeps trying to get me to do a JL 12W6 in a sealed enclosure running off a 500/1. He says "It will hit hard (tight) and be loud enough for me". I do not want to go with JL especially since he wants 650 for a 12W6 and a box. I would like to go with (1) 15" in a 2 cubic feet box (after subwoofer displacement) running off a Sundown SAZ-1000D amp. How well will this play hard rock? Will it have good transient response and hit hard or tight (how local described 12W6)? I have always been told that 15's are not "musical" subs and that they are for rap because they play lower. Is this true? The local tells me I would be better off going with a sealed 10 or 12 for the type of music I listen to, but i don't believe the 10" Q sealed will be loud enough. I am sure compared to my type R it will sound great, but just not loud enough. Has any body heard both the Q and a W6 in similar installs? How do they compare? I appreciate your input. Let me know if more info is needed. Thanks. --Chris

I don't really have a budget in mind. Maybe around 700 for amp and sub. My thought process was that if limited my self to 1000rms for the sub amp and 75x4 for the speakers that a new battery and big 3 would be enough. I have not researched my stock alternator, but I was told by a friend that i wouldn't need to upgrade the alternator with only 1300 rms altogether. He has about the same vehicle as me but is only running 900 rms. I plan on doing my on own research and math to see if the alternator can handle that much power, he is not a very reliable source. I was looking at the Icon as well as the aa havoc, but decided on fi due to the price. I would spend more money, but after reading reviews and such I don't think I need to. Seems the Q is a great sub for the money.

I have already decided to get rid of the type r. I will be building a smaller box and moving it to my girl friends jeep. I am not limited to 2 cubes. I have a jeep grand cherokee, so I can go bigger. The reason for picking that size is because that is the smallest Fi recommends for the 15" Q. Figured at that size the 15 wouldn't be so "boomy". Which ever size I get, I will be going with a smaller sealed box for SQ. I figured a 15 at the smallest recommended sealed box would "hit harder" or play louder than a 12 in the smallest recommended size. I am set on going with a small sealed box, I just dont want to get the 12 and have to port it because I don't think it is loud enough. Would the sealed 15 do good as far as SQ? Sorry if I am all over the board with this one. And thanks Brandon Daily for the quick response.
