My father said he would buy me either a car deck for my ford escourt, or subwoofers for my third gen. of course i took the subwoofers, however i started thinking? what are some nice subwoofers out there? - don't post the ones you have and act like they're the best. Tell me what are actually the best.

 

alpine type r
hifonics olympus
anything jl audio
fosgate punchs
anything infinity



do not get kicker(except the solobarics)
do not get kenwood
do not get pioneer

 

Orion's....they can take some punishment without breaking the bank.
JL's
Image dynamics
diamond audio

 

best is very subjective and very expensive. What kind of music do you listen to and what is the budget?

 

i like orions i have a pair of their cheapest in our scion box and they sound extremely good

 

Well, since it's an open trunk i wanted just 12 inches.

that'll be enough & It's My only christmas gift / birthday

so i want them to be nice.

 

Well, I have JL Audio W3's, came in my car so i didnt buy them.

Better than my old kicker comps, actually i love the jl's, crisp sounds and they hit HARD with only a little bit of power!

 

which reminds me!!!

amp to go with it.

 

for an amp any will do the job but the nice ones would be jbl,jl audio,alpine,fosgate,i like hifonics cheap and nice stuff too.crossfire amps arent bad either


invest in a good wiring kit too

 

get Sundown.

 

how much can you spend, we can sit here all day and talk about stuff that is probably way to much and not help you at all

 

i got 2 12" jl w3/v3 on jl 500/1 go with jl

 

Subs - Image Dynamics, DC Audio, FI Car Audio, Sundown, Digital Designs, JL if you're made of money (overpriced imo), T3 Sounds, Diamond Audio, Fosgate sound decent for budget subs

Amps - SUNDOWN, Alpine PDX, Rockford Power series, Audison, Zapco, Autotek makes a decent budget amp

 

I've run Memphis and MTX before, i liked both of my setups. To be honest i fork over the big bucks for the speakers vs the subs. I've heard everything from JL to legacy (extreme junk) i could just never afford a full JL setup so i went with something mid range yet still nice and spent more money on my speakers. You've really gotta figure out your budget to figure out what you want to run. I can vouche for Diamond Audio and Infinity for awesome speakers so i assume they have the same quality subs.

 

dude never get Hifonics anything they are CRAP Kicker is decent JL everyone and there mother has BUT there equipment is awesome and it sounds great. I would suggest looking at something cost efficent but that will do the job ie Kicker, Mtx (is pretty decent), kenwoods arnt bad then JL JL of course is somewhat pricy but its good

 

^you sir are lost

 

hahahahahahahahahahah that is all i have to say Hifonics speaks for it self there equipment is the sh*ttiest I mean for the price if your not looking for expensive equipment then sure but if you want some thing that will last for a good while and actually sound good and is CEA complient then Kicker will Kick the Livin Sh*t out of Hifonics anyday i believe sir you are lost

 

i had a single hifonics 15 with a hifonics amp in a box built by a small audio store here and it hit 143.8 in the trunk of my impala and if ended up costing less than 800 dollars


im sorry but kicker is some of the sorriest subs i have ever seen used and installed...the only ones worth a damn would be the l7s

and dont get me started on their amps...

 

for the price you could never go wrong with a good memphis setup. but like mentioned before it also depends on what you listen to.

 

dude its really on the user for one if your broke go with hifonics like i said if you dont have money it aint bad but its not the best out there ive installed car audio for the past 6 years and i used to rip that crap out 24 7 and loved smashing it with hammers but its really up to the user if you liked it and had a good experiance with it why not im just saying because i get to see that sh*t returned every single day that i work Kicker is one of the top selling brands granted it is hored out completly but they dont sound that bad plus the other you had on your little list are granted great products im just not a fan of hifonics

 

I second that Memphis...I have their M class components and the sound is amaaaaazing

 

I'ld have to say that Planet Audio is the best ive heard

 

cuz u never heard a focal or a morel...let alone a dynaudio....

 

omg, my girlfriend took me into Hot Topic and they had all this rugrats stuff, they had a reptar shirt, laughed my *** off when i saw it!

RAWR

 

I plan to one day buy focals. Until then, stock it is

 

how bout Morrel similar to dyna audio that **** is amazing morrel

 

tell me whats wrong with kicker amps?

i got 2 12" cvrs in my accord on a 06model 1000.1 kicker amp and it still works as good as when i got it. In my camaro i got 2 12" w3s on a 500/1 they are both good jl has better sq, kicker hits harder but not as clean as jl. IMO

 

I agree Kicker amps are decent for the price as well they put out real power there is nothing wrong with them at all Jl is definatley a cleaner set up but both sound good and CVRs are a very decent woofer for the price

 

Focal Polyglass Comps are amazing, as well as hertz. Dynaudio also kicks *** too. Theres so many companies to look at out there thats rarely heard of because they aren't mainstream. Those are usually the better product, and can be had for less money.

 

thats what i used to install at my old shop a lot of audison and hertz as well focal and morrel
