12" Subs in the $75-100 Range


Recommended Posts

Get a type R used and build a ported box for it. You can get them for $100 or less used. a 2 cu.ft. box tuned to 33hz would be good for it.

That's why they don't deliver.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start :D

I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

i personally still have my "Budget" subs and i love them. They have treated me very well over the past couple of years.

Naturally my opinion is biased because of that. :P

You guys are sleeping on those AudioPipe subs, for real. I'm not just saying this.

You have to look at the price point the woofers are selling at. Everybody wants SMDs, but the price is prohibitive. For $100-ish shipped, you couldn't buy the voice coils on one of Steve's subs. I'm a big fan of Image Dynamics and some of the other subs' producers, but look what you're getting for the money. Those might be fine for a girl or something, but guys are on SMD because they want to see flex.

Those TXXAP12s have die-cast aluminum baskets (same as the I-Pipes), whereas all those other subs have wimpy steel. The frame of the speaker is where it's stiffness comes from. The reason those other subs can't handle that much power is because their frames can't support the mechanical potential or sheer weight of a decent motor.

Then, look to the motor itself. The AudioPipe has a double-stacked 120 ounce magnet and and an extended pole peice. Inside is are 2.5 inch 4-layer black aluminum voice coils. The sub has a big, tough surround and the spider is fairly stout. The sub handles 700 RMS easily, but it's how it SOUNDS while it is doing it is what impressed me. They are very loud for the power you put into them and they drop low with no problems.

I would tune two of these extra-low on about 1500 watts RMS and call it a day.

One thing, though. He said his buddy was putting together a budget system, but didn't really say much else. I wouldn't necessarily consider and system w/ 1500 watts a budget system, considering the amp needed and the electrical upgrades that would probably be needed. Not to say you're not right about them being great bang for the buck. It just may be too much bang for what he is looking for.

That being said, he never really stated what kind of power he was looking to run or if he already had an amp, etc. So you could be right on the money.

The prs are great subs the website from memphis is bad for info on them. but im bein honest when i say a pr will sound better then a cvr and pound as hard or harder and they are only 140 ish i think... but i have 2 10's for 100 together i bought em about 2 weeks ago and barely used them they were in a truck that i ahd to get rid of so now no car to put em in and lookin to sell if you want. and they love 300 a piece for 10's and maybe a lil more for 12's but r uber loud fer the price dont need a huge amp to hit good numbers
