Jordan Guess Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 now that I am starting to run more of the american made brands, I want to experiment with all of them. So far I have played around with Fi, DD, and DC. I wanted to go to something a bit cheaper in price so my next line im looking at is American Bass and Obsidian, I was wondering if anybody has had good results with these cheaper priced lines (excluding the HD and VFL AB sub series since they are getting into the higher prices). Im driving a 1999 Ford Ranger XLT xcab, and havent taken dimensions yet, so not looking into specific sizes yet, just by brand and the results you have gotten. Thanks!

theChief Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 After playing around with a few brands when i got started i settled on American Bass. Where I get them, its the best bang for the buck. I've used/installed all of their woofers except for the vfl. The HD is one tough sub and took about 3k daily. My personal favorite is the XFL. Its a little lighter weight but in my opinion, and a few others who i know that use them, performs just as well. I've known someone who ran them at 3k a piece. Not sure what electrical. Never tried that much myself. All around American Bass is a good company with a good product. Obsidian is more budget oriented. I'm hoping to do a build with 4 of their 18s next summer just for kicks. Looks promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Guess Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 thanks for the input man, the XFL's were exactly what i was looking at in particular to AB. though you say 3k a piece is doable, could i get away with 1000 rms each like they are rated or would I need more to actually get something out of them, because if I end up getting them, I would need an amp that will suffice as well. Also, do you have any vids of your XFL's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k3n12ock Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) (4) American Bass TNT 12s - $120 ea on Ebay, although they aren't suppose to be sold online. It's all in the install Also, I would advise against 3k to a single XFL... To a pair, yes, to a single sub, I wouldn't unless you know what you're doing.

AAKSOKOLD Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 They're great for the price. Xfl's sound decent! They are at my flea market Quote Me & My DJ*! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theChief Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I agree about not running 3k unless experienced. Just talking about the extreme results I've heard. I run mine somewhere around 1500 a piece give or take and they really move. I've also seen a pair run on 1800. That was plenty of power. I actually don't have any videos. Just finishing up my new build so I should soon lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
