hey as you all know from my last post..i have 2 rockford subs....but i have been wondering...what else is out there....all i have is my 1500 bd and i wont be buying another amp...what are some good loud 12" subs? 2 subs that will run off that amp?..like i said before i am just curious as to what else is out there...i have been kind of narrow minded towards subs...

Well are you looking for something to use for daily driving??

I had a set of RE HC 15's and those were really sweet, you might want to consider the new model that replaced the HC which is the SX. Check them out at www.reaudio.com. You can also talk to northernspl about them, I believe he knows a lot about the subs ;)

Also, for daily listening I have alwasy liked the Alpine Type R 12's. The Adire Audio (www.adireaudio.com) Brahma is a sweet sub as well, the RE XXX is sick too.

Now if you are doing SPL, the RE SX is a pretty decent option, the RE MT's are supposed to be great but I doubt you have enough power.

Look into Digital Designs (DD), they are pretty much the most used sub that I personally have noticed in SPL.

Others are Kicker L7's, Team RF subs, RE MT's, Shocker Sigs, Atomic AP/APX's, Treo subs etc.

Hope this helps a bit,
Craig G

The Brahma is on back order by like 5 months =\

Team RF subs running off a BD1500....Not likely.

Check out some good mid-priced subs from Rockford, Kicker, MTX etc...or any other well established car audio brand.

It is my opinion that for your application you do not need a 'boutique' type of sub..not with the power you have (unless you want something that not many people have)

i'm not trying to have attitude or anything iam jsut wondering what you mean by "boutique" ? right now i have 2 12" punch HX2's but i am thinking about going to 2 kicker 8" L7's....

Chevy Man 02-21-2005 05:33 PM

sorry i meant to say 4 kicker L7's

Buffdaddy 02-22-2005 12:04 PM

whats wrong with the HX2's?

Those are a nice sub, in my opinion.

Buffdaddy 02-22-2005 12:08 PM

Sorry, didnt read your initial post that well...lol.

I like Eclipse subs a lot too.

Not sure on how to compare (havent heard a ton of diff subs myself).

Maybe check out PAS mag and read some of Dave Mackinnon's reviews.

I listened to a 'max calibre' or some sort of Canadian small company on the recommendation of his review and it was quite impressive.

check out what the local shops have, and see what you like.

Then sell me your HX2's cheap!! lol.
