Advise on Subwoofer brand.

Recommended Posts

I am going to be buying my subwoofers very soon and Im not sure which subwoofer brand is best. My budget per sub is $500max. Im looking at what subs would be best for my set-up and cost. I was looking at buying PSI Platform 3 15's but have been told they arent going to play lows for very long. I was told that I should buy HDC4 15's. I dont know much about them, and they are a little more expensive than the PSI and are 500RMS less. I am going to be running a 2 15" trunk wall tuned to 28hz.. I do not care about what it meters. Its going to be running on 2 Crescendo 3500's. I will have a 270amp Singer Alt. I also am not sure on which batteries to go with. I do not want to spend a whole lot on batteries and cannot afford XS Power even though I would love to have them, I was thinking about buying Deka batteries. My budget per battery is around $100. Any advise will help. I am not very knowledgeable on building and box specs. I am just buying this stuff and having the box built for me, but I am installing and hooking everything up. Also any advise on a good headunit to run would be appreciated. Single or double din. Budget is around $300 for headunit.

Have you looked into the Fi SP4 at all? I don't have any personal experience with them, but it seems that everyone who has them loves them. As for what to do for batteries, I would actually say to hold off on one of the BC3500Ds and put the money into a battery bank. Then once your electrical system is solid, you could save up and get the other amp.

For a head unit, if you're looking for sound quality, I'd really recommend looking into the Pioneer DEH-80PRS. I've had mine for about a month now and I love it! This head unit has pretty much anything you'd ever need.
