Does anyone know a good pair of subwoofers that can handle 800 watts rms that aren't mad expensive but also don't suck? I know the Alpine type R's are 1000watts peak but the rms is only like 300.

 

I would have to suggest JL Audio as the best. I just got a set of w0's and a jl 250/1 amp and for the little bit of Amps they really hit. Of course if you wanted something higher rated i would go with the jl w'3 or w6. You could even go for the JL W7. Check out their website for more info...

dont be fooled by a number my friend. my type-r was recieving 300w MAX off my mtx blue thunder pro 752 and it hit pretty hard. remember, its quality that counts in stereo, not quantity. you get a couple of these bad boys, you'll be hitting plenty hard

 

wait a minute, i agree that the w7 would be great, but after that hefty $1000 a piece for the 13.5 he would be too broke to afford a good amp for them (if he can buy an amp then you can send some of that money my way ) but i think the best thing to do is to go listen to some audiobaun alums 12 and see if you like the way they sound. as for me i am still dreaming about 2 W7 13.5's in my iroc :hail: !!!

 

i heard that audiobahns were good but i also heard that they were a bitch ti fix when they break because they have a bad design or something. That is what some dude at the NOPI Nationals told me because he was demoing cars.

 

The '99 models of Audiobahn have serious problems, the glue they used to hold the cone to the surround broke w/little use. All '00+ models have this defect fixed. Audiobahn will hit hard, really hard if given the right box, I've just never heard one that sounded very clean.

 

***** Raper, What kind of amp are you using?

I have a set of those Alum12x's for sale. Brand new, left over from 2001, they handle 1000watts. I'll take $250 for them just to get rid of them. Brand new, still in the rapper!
