Diamond audio.

 

I just put in a 10" Alpine Type R (ported box) with a 500w RMS Alpine amp in my 96LS, and it sounds great. It hits very sharp, it isn't the loudest around but it is a very clean sharp hit and i'm loving it so far, plus the price wasn't bad at all.

all brands mentioned in posts before are good. personally i would go with jl w3. but doing so, YOU MUST get a box built to spec. for a budget build, i say diamond audio d3. they work well with pre-fab boxes... but like most will tell you, once you put some bass in, your gonna regret not saving up and just start with the best. i went from q power, kicker, idmax, re xxx, jl audio, and now im beating with a digital design and loving it.

 

Budget, u can get a Type R for $100. If u wana spend more, i suggest the JL W3 or even more money, get the Image Dynamics.

 

JL Audio 10" W7 powered by a 500/1....

 

noobish audio question.. when you guys go for bass.. what is your main goal?

 

Rattle the windows of your neighbors car and house!

 

Guys, my phoenix gold dvc crapped out... suppose to handle 600wrms. Should I upgrade to the ti version? Or there is something better at comparable price. This supposedly reach upto 4 inches peak to peak.

I have been using Image dynamics since 1998.

They have four different lines.

I like the IDQs the most.

 

Cost effective solutions..........


Fi Bl
RE MX
Orion HCCA (10" since they can be found CHEAP!!!)
DC Sound Labs Level 3


and on the high end of "mid-to-high pricing"
But possibly best bang for the buck

Ascendant Audio SMD (Steve Meade Design) (only on 15" or 18" though)


And while I love the JL 12/13W7 and Kicker SoloX, I would take any of the above mentioned subs over the last two in a heartbeat!!!

 

cerwin vegas thump!

 

I only **** with Kicker because they're a reasonable price and bump hard. Jl audio makes some real good subs but you need a lot of $$$

 

Alto Mobile Falstaff and/or Phase Linear Aliante for me

 

Subs Ive recently played with from best to worst

TC Sound LMS Ultra
DC Sound LV5
Phoenix Gold Ti12D Elite
TC Sounds TC9 LMS
PSI P2
TC Sounds OEM
RE Audio HC
Kicker L7 (Black cone)
Alpine SWX
JL Audio W7
Alpine SWR
Kicker CVR

 

any thoughts on diamond audio or Elemental Designs?
