[billybunter]

hey people I was wondering which subs to go for;

FLI 15" 400 rms 1200 peak

or

JBL 15" 350 rms 1400 peak

I want something that will hit me hard and sound very good. Im in to Rap n stuff like that. I have already bought a KENWOOD KAC 9104D 1 CHANNEL MONO 1800W I thinking of runing two of which ever ones I get and just wanting some imput instead of wasting money on crap...again

well never heard of the flI but the jbl is a lowend sub in there line up will sound good don't expect it to be to loud or crazy spl wise mabe you should think about buying one better sub then saving up and buying another instead of two lowend subs just my 2cents

well out of them two which would be the loudest so to speak.

I will buy better ones this is just for now and update summer.

how do you know which sub is louder by the RMS? or peak power?

[corey0928]

a sub is only as loud as the box its in. and what budget do you have?

edit: only look at rms

so two 450 rms 1000 peak would be better than 400 rms 1200 peak?

I have about £300 for subs in dollar its about 700 i think
