A question asked all too much.....

[Koridan 0]

I have set a budget for $150 per sub...... I am really wanting at least 12's. And I need some input on which subs within this price range will have the best bang the buck. I was looking at the Alpine SWR-1222D as a possible candidate. But that was purely just a suggestion for myself. After I figure out what subs I want to get I will try and figure out what amp will push them the best. Thanks in Advance.

The Sundown woofer might be a good choice in that price range.

Creative Sound Solutions in Canada has a bunch of stuff in the under $150 class too.

TC-1000's

Like Jim mentioned the new Sundown SD-1's would be a good idea to look at. They don't need a ton of power and are efficient.

The Mach5 MAW-12 has to be mentioned in a lower cost install, lot of sub for the money.

do the sundown's pickup good low's? I like deep bass.... I see that the sundown's have dual 8 ohm vc's. 8 ohm isnt all that good last I recall? not sure?

That's going to be enclosure dependent...

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Nothing wrong with 8 ohm coils. Only difference is they present a different resistance on the amplifier.

[JimJ 11]

Don't really see why it would be, as long as your amp produces enough power at that impedance...

What enclosure would u recommend for those subs?

[JimJ 11]

I don't have any personal experience with them yet, Jake from Sundown would be the one to ask...I'm guessing he knows a thing or two about 'em

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

As stated on the shop per Jacob:

Enclosure recommendation is:

0.75 - 1.0 ft^3 sealed on the 12"

1.75 - 2.25 ft^3 @ 30 - 35 Hz Ported on the 12"

What about Mach5's MAW-15? Any count?

[ANeonRider 3]

Any count?

O sorry about that..... I live in the south..... Any count means is it any good.

[JimJ 11]

I've been in NC for seven years and I've never heard anyone say that before

[mrray13 30]

Ha.... Ya you said it good enough. I listed some subs within my budget.

MB Quart RWE-302's

Power Acoustik FUBR-12's

Power Acoustik S.Q.-12's

Cerwin Vega V-Max 152's

Orion HP-12D2's

Rockford Fosgate P312D2's

Which of these is the best bang for the buck overall. If I cant come to a conclusion I am just going to sell some stuff and buy Some Fi SSD 15's

Edited June 15, 2007 by Madrox

[JimJ 11]

All of those seem like you're shopping at Best Buy...not the greatest values there.

[Big E 4]

Best bang-for-the-buck = Mach 5, hands down.

The Mach 5 is WAY better than that whole list.

There is an SX15 over on CSo that needs a recone. You can get recones for around 70ish. That takes you to 140. There ya go!

[tejcurrent 13]

I like the idea of the SSD 15s...

but I have 0 experience with the maw.

I have experience with their BL and BTL line, and I'm about to get an SSD 18 if the new h/t setup still needs more bass- could give you a review in a few weeks.

If you check the classifieds I believe someone had two FI SSD 12s for sale a week or two ago.

I live in SC-never heard that. How far south are we talking jethro (j/k)

My uncle is really country, I had to stay with him, and spelled phonetically this is what he told me:

"get yourself a knife from out'n the shed and cut yourself some oaktree".. I was like wtf? you expect me to cut a tree with a knife?

found out then that oaktree means okra, and teeth are an option

*edit- forgot to mention he owns a farm-so we were heading to his fields to cut okra/feed the cows lol...
