which subs beat these for the price?

[chapo123]

okay so long story, im getting tired of my 12 btl and its power hungry ass lol. im going to leave it chilling in my room until i get my hatchback (due to doing all elc upgrades in that car not this one) and want to go with something smaller. im looking at these type arrrghs lol for 143 a piece free shipping that aint bad.. plus i liked how they sounded in my benz with no drop down seats, in a pre fab (1 cube per sub.. ported) off of 750rms total.. they got pretty loud for what it was. now i have a 02 sebring with drop down seats and can imagine they would get way louder. in a nice 4 cube ported box tuned to 32hz off of a sundown 1200. but just before i buy the subs.. is there anything better for the price that would beat these subs? i really want sa12s but they a tad bit pricy for me.. basically for 280 bucks what can i get that would be louder..? if there are any options.. i know these subs are good (from past experiance) and wont kill me elc as bad as the btl.. but jw if theres anything better i can get for like 300 shipped that are around 500-750rms?

i'm guessing you want 2 12's? if so i would get 2 of these http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=295-404

or 2 of these http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=295-466

and if you meant a single 12 then i'd get a dc audio level 4 12 with a level 5 coil.

all of those subs would be just as good as an alpine type r if not better

I would personally go for the type r's because of the extra cone area, but if you want a single sub then go with what memphis said, a DC level 4 12.

actually the dayton audio titanic mkIII subs will hit a little bit harder than the type r's and i would say that they are almost an equivalent to the dc audio level 3's except the dayton titanic's sound cleaner and move alot more air in my opinion.

why do you want to waste more money? just stick with the btl.

well it's up to what the guy wants. if he wants to trade a btl for a pyle 12 then thats his decision. but yes i think he should keep the btl and for 300 invest in a high output alternator.

i will still keep the btl. just not use it. because my elc isnt up to par with 3krms which is what the btl would want. and i can go louder without killing my car AND still be pushing subs.. so im looking to get 2 cheap 12s and a sundown 1200

im just going to save the btl until i get a hatchback because im doing all electrical upgrades in that car (when i get it) domt really want to dump to much electrical money into this car

...you DO know you dont have to power a woofer to its fullest right? just give the btl what you have now power-wise and then use that money to get electrical upgrades. pretty simple no? i dont know how you would be louder without "killing your car"

ok i agree with kranny why spend cash on another box and subs when u could buy a few bats for that price? xs bats at that and u get a smd discount at xs
