suggestions please, which sub(s) for my 500 watt amp?


Recommended Posts

for use in a Cadillac Deville off a JL Audio Slash 500/1

I previously had a pair of Image Dynamics ID 12's before running ported off around 250 watts, wasn't really bangin

Lots of trunk space to go with a large ported box if need be,

Subs I was considering, W6, W7, IDMAX, IDQ, JBL GTi, but I guess I can really go with any sub I can order online now that I've found a box builder

also considering a pair of lower end models like W3's or Alpine Type R's

I want as much slam as I can get while maintaining decent sq

as far as your list goes i see subs that are too much money. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/GCON%252d15-D2-%E2%80%93-Sound-Solutions-Audio-15%22-750W-Dual-2%252dOhm-GCON-Series-Subwoofer.html... check this one out one 15 will sound good compared to the 2 12's you had

you have a 500w max amp

90% of the subs you listed are at least 500w rms each

get a better sub amp do the BIG 3 upgrade..then get better subs...

simply put your not going to be "bangin" with 500w max

I believe you are correct and that is actually what I plan on doing in the future...big 3, 1000 watts and a pair of nice 12's

I wanted something in the meantime though

sorry...meaning?

I was referring to getlocivic, he suggested your amp was 500w max. I was just stating the JL 500/1 is 500 rms not max
