Khymera-B

My location is the determining factor. In the "cleaner" sections of a city (ie my neighborhood)I knock while driving and I turn it down at stops lights. Those ppl don't want to hear the type of shit I'm knocking at all! All explicit rap, all the time (except morning, can't do loud music in the morning, more of a talk radio period for me...I'm getting old ( I don't crank at malls and things of that nature either. Now...In the hood? Pfft...more towards tilt! Why? Hell, muthf$%^*'s like it, lol. Hell I learned my obession from my hood when I was younger, along with being rasied on rap, which I barely know what other way to play it, lol. There's a different appreciation, plus they LOVE what I'm knocking ("Hey what CD is that on?"). It's just the way it is around there, you won't be the only one, because ppl in that community have always done it. When I was in my early 20's I used to turn up the volume on someone if they were trying to stunt on me, but now I kinda see that it's kinda lame, lol. Either my volume is already up or I leave it alone. He just better hope to not pull up on me while I'm in the hood, lol

4 Dcon's

Yeah that cap does look cheap, lol. I'm thinking multiple Dcon's or an Icon would actually be a better option in that power range. Extremely punchy in the proper box (love that)...starting to accept the fact that 10's and 12's sound great regardless of the vehicle, even a good single 15. Feel like I'm limiting myself in this design. I could also give myself some ^3ft back by not needing so much, like re-targeting for 4 to 5^3ft. I did read the Great 12 Challenge (ROE) on the SR. Pretty informative. There was also another UK test. Not too much consumer review out due to better options being available at most turns, but seems to be a decent sub all said and done.

Anyone have experience with RE's SR/SRX lineup? Ready to order sub(s), but have come to a fork in the road: Multiple good subs vs one stronger sub of equal build quality. From what I've researched I could probably feed the SRX's 500w (<600w) a piece just fine; though they're 300rms rated. My thoughts: Wanted to stay under/around the $300 mark for the sub(s) and ~1kw of pow-a. Budget-"ish" build. Could have more cone area and better cooling w/ two subs on equal wattage. A single Q 18 seems loud and clear enough on it's own, from what I gather. I have no 150db targets or some ~ish not competing just knocking music. Big truck = big subs in my head. 15"+ Other factors: Ported box design Space is not an issue, full-size SUV, 3rd row removed. SQ is important to me, I see brutality as a trait... albeit, a very good one, I dig the lows, that the Q is quite known for. Gather the SRX perfect nothing, yet fail at nothing either.. idk. Any research, experience, or just general opinion is greatly appreciated. It'll help me complete or at least add to my research. Thanks in advance.

Yeah after coming back and reading my post today, I kinda started thinking that I might not have really made that too clear. I kinda moreso wanted to hear experiences with the SR's. But I've narrowed my goals to: Target 1kw of power <~$300 on the sub(s) (2)15" or (1)18" Target 6-8^3ft @ 28-32hz tuning Sound preference, hmmm... I'm looking for accurate sound within those preferences. Something that will blend w/ the front stage easily. I listen to lots of deep bass rap, but SPL really isn't the target as much as a fairly quick/accurate woofer(s), considering the $ target I've accepted any trade-offs. Hope that explains what I was getting at a little better...I think I was drinking again. FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS DRINK AND POST.

Nevamind I found a nifty little fact to use on a response graph to compare one sub vs multiple. By doubling the vas, cone area, and accounting for the overall power to the dual install...I can account for two subs and have a graphed comparison to whatever I want. Just FYI for random knowledge - The SPL output/response curve of 2 SRX 15's is significantly close to the Q, though the Q's shaping has an insignificant advantage of <1db between 40-30hz. Also above 50hz the SRx's are increasing louder. (same port tuning compared) Research complete.

Well, I've been researching newer brands and products on the forum for awhile...figured I may as well atleast get in my first post. I'm pretty good w/ the search function so I hadn't had much need to post, but here it is. Been through countless different systems in countless different cars over the past 11 years. You know the drill, 2-3x's as many systems as cars. More of a DIY'er, but now I'm lazy and happen to be old friends w/ a master installer so I choose to save myself some time nowadays. Currently organizing a build for an 03 Expedition that was recently acquired, more to come...stay tuned. (Wish I still had my PG MS2125, bet amp I ever had.)

Through the manufacturer sites (forum links...Fi, Incriminator, etc.) and Youtube, lol. Watching Xcon's, Havoc's and a few other quality subs shake some things apart.

Damn I miss my metro, I could drive all week on $15...and shoulda added a wall. Instead it crapped and I sold it for $100. Nice job though. and ditto...the 1st page doesn't work.
