Comparison of entry/medium level 12inch subs?

[bassface]

hmmmm maybe, just dont know why a person doing a 146 would ask this question

Why dont you stop being a doucebag and offer some helpful suggestions

easier to just ignore him.

I can see why he'd be annoyed when he has top of the line digital designs 12's doing the same numbers

The current setup I have, the Pioneers are getting about 800watts each, rated at 400. They'd have to be suffering pretty badly from power compression, which is why I'm hoping a higher powered, higher excursion woofer could still do similar numbers, off the same power.

if the sub is rated at 800 rms and you give it 800 rms it should perform fine and if it has a higher linear displacement than the pioneers, in theory you should be louder.

and just to stop this pussy fight between you 2, he is in a trunk car, which makes it a lot harder to get loud than in an open stationwagon like yours. lets not go comparing apples to oranges here boys.

he also didnt help you and was just posting bull shit to you because he didnt under stand your question. i dont know why.

now lets get back on topic and get you louder without all this cat fighting

big wagon, small sedan...

I dunno, I reckon they'll be pretty comparable

trunk car, open cabin on a big sedan. trunk car says it all.

dont talk if you dont know. your the one asking questions here about SPL.

now can we try to stay focused? did i answer your question?

Why do you assume I don't know?

because I'm wondering if anyone has done back to back comparisons between entry level subs?

[Bump4life]

Does anyone know of an SPL comparison between numerous subs?

say, ranging from 300 watts to 1000watts or so?

obviously same setup, same car, same amp.

I've been playing with the old Pioneer 305c subs, as well as some Pioneer 307s, as I already had them.

But am now looking to "upgrade" without spending too much, and really want a guaranteed SPL increase!

thanks!

NO way to guarantee an SPL increase other than the most obvious solution: GIANT SUNDOWN AUDIO sticker.

Seriously though OP, you're looking for SPL on a tight budget? Start learning how to build a good enclosure.

Already got that, now I need "better" woofers

something with a bit more potential cone excursion is probably the main criteria.

it sounds like you want the key to making your car louder and as you put it "guaranteed SPL increase". if you really knew about SPL you would know, just as cleansierra said, there is no way AT ALL of knowing. you are asking for a comparison yet at the same time you want the answer if brand x sub or model x sub will be louder than brand z or model z. you are the same as the rest of the noobs to SPL. I was once a noob just like you asking the same damn questions. and yea im no expert which is why i still ask and post questions so some experienced people can chime in. but you are just trying to argue with me when you are the one asking questions. i am answering them for you.

and yet again if you knew anything about SPL and trunk cars, you would know that they are hard as hell to get loud and that even a 140 is a good score for daily in them.

check out this thread if you dont believe me. plenty of experienced members have agreed that trunks are hard to get loud regardless of "how small the cabin is".

have you ever sat in the BMW 7 series 4 door or a mercedes S class or a fucking crown Vic? tell me how easy it is to pressure those oh so small cabins out of a trunk.

i am sure your wagon has its own difficulties getting loud considering it is already down under, but dude just dont argue when you ask a question on here. you are the one asking for help. we dont want to offer our help then get argued with about it.

i thought i gave you a pretty good answer too. do you want me to repeat my answer or can you look a few posts above to see it.

can't be that difficult.

depends what you mean by "loud" though I guess
