Those are the subs that I am getting and I am probably going to put them in the seat portion of the backseat (90% chance taking out that bucket of the seat). What do you guys think about doing a setup like that?

 

once again, i'll recommend against these subs. also, many people have found that the subs sound better from the well due to the distance from the sub to your ears. the soundwave is allowed more time to develop and reach its full length. or at least better than if it were right behind you. are you really against having them in the well? if not, thats your best bet for a good sounding setup

 

yup, pyramid sucks. Im not one to usually say that because usually people say this is the best brand because I own it and this sucks because I dont. But its kind of like xplod, everyone knows it blows . Im not saying dont get em, just expect a sub-par experience. I wouldnt take out my back seats for anything less than solobarics, but it depends on your taste. If you want your rear hatch, what about a side well mounted box? You could probly up your sub costs a bit and go for 1 sub in the side well (jl, kicker, pioneer, the list goes on) and get a better sounding, harder hitting more reliable sub. I dont think I would take my back seats out (often people sit back there) for anything less than four 15 inch (two in the back of course) kicker solobarics , but if you got your mind set on it, go for it.

If you want some good ones for the price.

Get the Volfenhag's.

They pound like a mother.



Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Better than I thought they would be.

 

You're going to try to mount them *in* the back seat? This I've got to see.

 

Hey how much to the Volfenhag's. run, right now I got two power acoustic fareinhiet 12's that are 1000rms 2000 max apiece but Im want to find either the same subs I got in a 10 or something close in a 10, who makes the best 10???

 

ive seen a pair of volfenhag 12's on ebay for round 120 or so. i have seen em as low as 90 for a pair. i am thinkin about tryin em in a couple paychecks. my two type rs arent enough for me.

 

Must suck for the ppl sitting back there, seriously though scratch the Pyramid idea they do look a little cool though.

 

Just wondering, (in no way am i sticking up for Pyramid) the imperials look pretty good, they definitely seem higher quality than the rest of theirs. Just makin sure im not an absolute moron or anything.

 

here's a pic

 

Good looks doesn't equal good sound. They're very cheaply made with absolutely no thought given to material quality or actual functionality. They are made to look good.

 

heres a tip that applies to MOST subs/headunits/amps prices. good looks and low costs usually mean they are **** for quality. I will admit those subs look good for the price, but if they were any good for quality why wouldnt every other person own them?

How would you explain the type R's then? They have a pretty low price.

 

Cause they suck. YOU suck.

Heheh... just playin. I had to.

 

first off, the person who thinks a pair o volfenhag's will out do the r's, dont press you luck. stay with the r's. about they price/quality, $40 for a sub is gonna give you a crappy sub, no question. the R's go for around $250 in a store, thats a pretty reasonable price for a pretty good sub. the reason why we can get them online for $120 is because Alpine (and many other car audio companies) do not warrenty online-bought goods. you're not paying for the big service, so a nice chuck is taken outta the price. do you need a warrenty? if you buy good stuff, usually not. what happens if it goes bad? some online companies have their own warrenties. if not, you could still buy another sub and still be around what it would have cost from the store.

 

Hmm... I guess your right. I bought a minidisk for 120 on the net. Guitar center wanted 300 bucks!!!!

 

what do you guys think about the power acoutic farenhieghts???

 

Farneheights are ok for an entry level set up.

Im tellin ya's Diamon Audio is the best way to go. Daimon M3's run about 300 bucks for 2 of them, M5's a little more, i have 2 12M3's and they slam.

my buddy has 1 10M5 in an audi and it comes close if not surpasses my 2 m 3's for the price you cant beat them.

JL also makes good products. ya wanna go really crazy look at a w7. thats the crzyiest sub ive ever seen ecept for the 10 foot (yes i said 10 foot) sub on the wall at stereo sound on market street in philly.

Xtant is pretty good, as well as eclipse. Shop aorund for thease the best place to find htem is on ebay or small electronics stores that buy in bulk and sell for cheap.

 

w7 huh I'll see what I can find. I cant find anything about a 10 foot speaker on the net. Just this.

Yeah thats the w7 and its a damn mean sub. has a really big throw to it.

The 10 foot one i doubt youll find its not amnufatcutred anymore. The place just has it cause its insane. They dont use it cause it takes a ridiculous amount of amps to power as well

 

When my buddy was buying his Type R's for his truck we went to the local shop and he wanted $135 each(and he authorized to sell) we told him that we could get them for $105 and he dropped the price. If anyone asks their local shop the worst they will say is no.

LOL @ fyrelance:sillylol: :sillylol: :sillylol: :rockon:

 

Man, where do you people hear all these subs at? From friends or do some of you frequently demo products at audio shops? I have no idea what most of the subs people ask about sound like. I can vouch for W0's and not much else.

 

I might have to argue the Type R comment.
Ok I will.

My subs can kick some serious ***.
They pound hard next to my friends Type R's.

I wouldn't really be able to tell for sure, unless I put some in my car.
But from what I have seen, then can at least match the Type R.

 

FyreLance, i read up on thease things alot, my buddy is a former IASCA competitor, n i am very interested in the car audio aera. Just thorugh firned and personal experiecne. I have Diamond's now n there amazing subs. n PPI is known very well also. Just look things up n online and youll leanr alot aobut htings. I do this when im supposed to be doing homework lol

 

ya, i got a really good frind who works at a car audio store, he gets like 40% off, so he said he can get me 2 12" Type R dual 2 ohm subs for $70 a piece and the 10"s for $60 a piece :hail:

 

Hooks me up.

I'll put them in my Monte....

Then I'll tell you which one sounds better...

 

Hehe, yeah I read up sometimes too, I used to frequent http://www.elitecaraudio.com but I haven't been there in months.

I wanna get a REAL pounding system. My 12w0s do great but I eventually wanna shake the crap outta my entire chassis with the deepest bass on earth.

 

Im with you man, I wanna pull up next to someone and have their entire car shaking with almost the same force as my car, just to **** them off, I also want houses to shake as I drive by. :lala:

 

well i've only heard that pyramids suck so i would scratch those, i have personally listened to the volfenhag and i can tell you they hit harder than subs that cost a lot more IE: the punch z's, xplodes, and a few others. this was all done on a crappy sony amp that has blown 5 fuses in the last month, when he gets his new amp i'm sure they will pound harder. i say go with these

I drove by my uncle's house and he said it rattled the window's that's with two 10's from prob. 20 feet away.

If i get a little boom boom in the back i'm going with these no questions asked

 

I'm telling you man, the volfenhag's pound like mother *******

I know.....
