Winn Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Not nuthugging Ray (ok maybe a little) but I agree, go with the Ascendant Audio Havoc subs. I think as far as output you may do well to do a single AA 12 over a pair of w3's. JL does have decent SQ, but is a bit overpriced for what they are. I have heard only one setup with those subs but they were surprisingly clean. IMO JL Audio is well known for being well known. They were the shit back in the 90's but I think everyone else has eclipsed them in terms of quality for the price. And I know you didn't ask but I'm just throwing it out there... ported will be clearer than sealed at higher volumes. (sealed>ported=sq)= If you had ray design your box. I BET Ray could make it just as flat as a sealed box with alot more output.. maybe not as flat but still Quote You know how you avoid that?

Will757 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 two fully loaded FI Q's would be right around 550, 1000rms a piece and it's Fi's sound quality sub, i've never heard them in person but Fi is a very well recognized company soooo I'd give them a shot. 2 fully loaded q's are more like 1500rms a piece. and theyd be quite a bit more expensive. it cost me about 630 shipped to va so my guess is that it would be a bit more to australia Quote 1996 Buick Lesabre Limited - 2 Fi Q 12's, 5ft^3 slot ported box tuned to 30hz, MMATS 3000.1, JL G4500, 5.25" Polk momo comps, cheap 6x9's (rear fill), Pioneer DEH-P8300UB, Knu wiring throughout, Big 3 all 1/0, stock alt, stock batt, Deka 8a31 in the trunk ---Now gone to the younger brother, and all the equipment is sitting in my garage. 96 Buick Lesabre Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyro Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 *DOuble post, oh well* http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/117455-aa-mayhem-12-pair-d1/ Thoughts? If I end up actually buying a 1kw RMS amp or more, I really have no idea how my battery and alt are going to perform. I believe the mid 2000's Lancer alts are rated at under 100amps, and the headlights even dim a little when playing loud music on OEM speakers, let alone the interior light.

carlosg_313 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 RE<JL this. RE today wasnt as quality as it was before. JL between the 2. but for other options, either DC(as everyone says), or if you find a motor(magnet) of 2 RE SE(first that were made before us amps bought them out), you can recone them with a 12in 12 spoke basket and get it reconed from psi, or even Fi. thats how i got my 2 Re MTs 18ins. lol Quote How do the Japanese feel about bass?You know that since 03/11/11 Progene? I just saw that stuff on CNN. They said it makes your junk shrink all up. lol.im pretty sure the op wont even notice if it gets even smaller.
