96Blazer Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm going to end up having around 320$ for sub's by the end of next month or so and am wondering what I should be looking at. I'm all set on electrical and everything, I just need some ideas on some loud subwoofer's for my budget. So far I have looked at getting two Fi X 15's in single 2 ohm with the BP Power option, and this brings me right near my budget. How are these subs? I would like a lot of cone area.

corey0928 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 What amp are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micah_jones Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 My buddy has a single Fi X 15 and it is ok, doesnt take much power at all though. What kind of amp are you going to be using? There was a dude selling a pair of DC level 3 15s on here for pretty cheap, I would take those over the FIs.

Kranny Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 http://www.skaraudio.com/index.php/products.html skar audio 12's. one of the guys from Sundown designed this woofer. if you want a cheaper solution you can look up Obsidian car audio. iirc its the same guy. they arent officially released yet but you can get pre-order'd woofers or something like that.

96Blazer Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'll be getting the amp later, so really I can get any amp. I just want to buy the subs first so I can build the box Quote 2001 GMC Jimmy SLE 4X4 Floor Shift AutoHeadunit - Alpine CDA-117Front Door Speakers - Alpine SPS-600C MidsRear Door Speakers - NoneDash Speakers - Alpine SPS-600C TweetersSub Amp - Rockford Fosgate T4002Mids+Highs Amp - Rockford Fosgate P4004Subwoofer - P3D215 Fosgate Punch 15Sub Box - Rockford Fosgate designed "powerful" ported box Built by myself i would rather run cheaper but sexier then expensive and fucking ugly.

iKidwell Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 i'd stay away from the fi x's, imo they don't come to fi standards, even if it is a cheap woofer. Look into dc level 2 or 3's, or like kranny said, get the obsidians, they look extremely similar to the sa's, and that's because they're co-designed(if i'm wrong please correct me) by jacob. They're like 150 shipped per 15 on preorder, and eta is set at march. Quote c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96Blazer Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 What about 6 Fosgate p1 8's? I know that they're not high quality woofers or anything, but how loud do you think I could get with 6 of those ported on 900 watts RMS give or take? I like the idea of something unique.
