Brands Of Your System Setup

[duff_thrust]

Hey, Just another audio junky that has been sick and tired of hearing about brands this. One Guy "Oh dude if ur gonna get a system, Rockfords through and through". Or "Hey go with RE Audio or Diamond cuz with Kicker you are just buying into the expensive name." Well as for that one which I have heard a lot not just those brands but everyone, I do love all of those drivers and amps very reliable. I'm just puttin out there, How bout everyone just buy what you can afford and find out through that long ass process off finding what's good too your ear and your personal preference. It's all about the right setup, correct wiring, correct enclosure for the sub, correct amp, correct ohm load of wiring to the amp, and so on. Way too many parts to the equation for anyone to voice their opinion for or against a particular brand. I have had so many setups and am left with quite a warehouse of used equipment because something in the equation didn't sound right to me. So in my early days I popped onto a forum and saw some set of Uneducated individuals poppin their mouth off about the amp or the subs or the box or the head unit so I would jump to conclusions and buy something else. Now I know it's everything if you don't like it change it who gives two shits about what anyone else thinks. Right now because of budgeting for my upcoming mid level $4000 dollar setup I'm running two 12inch Volfenhags with an Audiobahn amp and Omni preman. slot ported enclosure. Definately the loudest I have heard in town By far and I'm in about a 30,000 pop town. Yeah it's a real head turner for under 350 bucks. So to anyone who thinks it's the components in the equation instead of looking at the entire equation and seeing if everything is wired properly (which is the most common problem for subwoofer distortion and blowing and also Extremely effects the sound quality and depth of your sound) either get educated by yourself as I did or go to a professional and ask them for some assistance.

go to a professional and ask them for some assistance.

sometimes that works. depends on the pro. you might just end up with them pushing the house product on you.

I run Kicker Subs and Amps, for mids and hi's I use JL, IMO Kicker isnt too expensive compared with RE and Diamond. Although from what I hear alot of people run there products in certain towns/cities so I guess it could be considered a pretty mainstream product.

Edit: IMO the biggest part of the equation in making a sub sound loud and clean is the BOX

I hear ya holmes the Dealers do tend to push house brand hard and talk it up. I go into my favorite of sub shops in Lincoln Nebraska Named Stereo West. Those boys are straight up honest. I told em I was looking CVXs or L7's but round and they told me definately then I said I have heard Diamond and RE many times and was impressed with diamonds response it's so tight no matter what song you r listening to. The manager tells me "yeah this is true if I could get them in here I would by far some of my favorite subs." But that could be just cuz I know all the 10 guys that work in there by name and they know how I am when it comes to sub shit and amps and the variety on the market cuz i've either had em, heard em, or have a friend who has em that I set up."
