hey guys,
first off i know every one has opinions and such, id like to know them

heres the deal, im putting a sub in my buddies truck and id like to know about the best sub for what im doing, which is...
two 8"s or one 10"
sealed
about 1 to 1.5 cubic feet space
needs extremly fast speaker needed(he likes the metal with loads of drum beats)

so far im thinking a decent jl sub or two jl 8's and a really nice clear, clean amp. where should i look? what other subs/amps should i look in to, any sugestions and opinions are what im asking for thanks.

 

JL makes good stuff.

Eclipse, RE, DD, Kicker

I have an Eclipse Amp, and never had it go into protection with HOURS of playing, but they can be more expensive, depending how much power you want.
Amp: JL, Kicker, Alpine, and JBL makes good amps for the money.

Get a good deal on JBL amps at: www.ikesound.com

 

I agrees

 

although JL does make good stuff there are sooo many quality products out there that are at par with them that nobody else has.

if you want two 8s that hit amazingly hard i would look at RE8s.http://www.respl.com put em in a 1.0 cf box tuned to 35hz with a shared 300 watts and you'll be very impressed.

 

What do you guys think about Alpine Type R 10" subs with dual voice coils?

 

if they are anything like my two type r 12s...i love em

 

those REs look quite nice. How much are they per sub in both 8 or 10 inch?

Im thinking about a system for my daily driver......and those may be good depending on price.

and how much for one of their amps say 300 watts for the 8s?

 

blackgold84, what year and make of truck are you putting these in? regular cab or extended?

 

i have the new phoenix gold octane series amp, its only 400 watts, but clear as day . not so good on the price tag though.

 

this would be an extended cab, the guy likes the fast as heck double bass drum pedal metal stuff, its nuts fast, i cant even recreate this stuff with my mouth, right now im looking at like a 10W0-4 and a kx120.2 in a sealed box should sound tight clean and fast, if you guys know of a cheaper way to get that kick thats fast let me hear it, thanks

 

btw i love pheonix gold too man, next time i can blow money i ditching this mtx and rockford system and getting a tantrum 12 and tantrum 300.2 in my hatch

 

Better hurry. Ti and Tantrum lines are being discontinued. Being replaced by the Xenon line.

 

will it be just as good? or a new cover on the same product or what, what can you tell me

 

elemental designs has great subs for small enclosures
www.edesignsaudio.com

dayton makes awesome subs for a great price
www.partsexpress.com

www.cbrstereo.com has great deals on PG subs

i would also look into imade dynamics subs

 

Hey I suggested that site first!!!

Price depends on whether you have an RE dealer in your area or not. Send an email out to RE, they usually get back to you w/i 3ish days. Make sure you include your zip. They will let you know if there's a dealer close-by or what the price is to have them shipped to your door. RE makes excellent stuff!! I'm going with 2 12" RE SE's for my next set-up!!

 

D'oh!! I forgot the mention ED!! They're another one of my personal favorite when it comes to sub manufactorers!

 

i dont think they post prices on their site but if you call them they have the best customer service ive ever dealt with. The 8s are very cheap, im not sure if the RE10s are released yet though
