is infinity Referance Seris any good?? there 1300watt. would they have rubber on the out side? or that foam? and is that foam crap? i've been told from everyone that its crap. any opinion would help. thanks
im looking today at 2 12'' infinity 1300watt referance series. but i want quality.

1300 watt's means Peak (aka nothing) look for RMS watts. Get the perfect 12 if you want infinity. I'd take one perfect 12 over 2 of the reference series.

Foam isn't always crap! it actually has better acoustic properties than rubber, its only weakness is physical damage resistance. so put a grill over it to protect it.

In a slightly higher price range there are MUCH better options. The alpine Type R V.2 comes to mind.

Of course telling us what your goals are would be a good first step. Are you after Loudness or Sound Quality?

How much Power (RMS watts) can you supply the sub(s)?
How much room do you have for your enclosure?

I have not heard anything positive about Infinity, but I dont know first hand of their subs, I do have a friend who bought some of the speakers and they sounded like tin cans.

as illinja said, we need more info, what amp do you have? whats your budget...ect

im looking for a happy median of load and sound quality. but more sound quality. i want 2 subs so it makes a nice tone at high levels. and i'd get a vented encloser. i was looking at a Bass Worx one. and im looking to envest some money into the next subs i get. i want qualety subs. not . i wanted alpine type R or some JBL subs. someone told me that infinity were good. so i was just looking into them since i didnt know about them

i have a 1300watt max sony amp

schickj

and thsese were $60 used. 2 years old. if i dont find reduculousy cheap subs i want to go all in and get almost compatition subs

well, if your looking for sql, id stay away from type r's they get loud yes but not very cleen sounding, especially in prefabbed bassworx box's.....

whats your budget and we can suggest some other options.

btw whats the model number on your sony amp, never go by max power.....

im thinkning $400 for subs and box. but i buy used

VanCitySPL

your amp is 900w RMS!!! (at 2 ohms) you got to stop looking at the max power thats B.S

If i was you, Id get a pair of duo 2ohm voice coil subs that like 400wrms each. wire them parallel/series to get a to ohm load. option # 2 here......

as for subs, If you want SQL i say DC level 3's, MB Quart, RE, Fi.....I dont really know what you have in kingston, but id stay away from Infinity, type r's, kicker, ect.....and be careful when buying used.

also, please, please, please dont buy a pre fab box. a well thought out enclosure is so important, id pay to have a professional to design you a box to the stats or the subs you decide on/trunk size/tunage desired....and build it your self.

schickj

i can build my box my self. i built a box for my 15'' sub. but i just made a non-vented box since the sub isn't that good. i'd draw up some desiqns that i think would work best and ask your opinion. but i have to get some subs first
