for the car audio guys...

Well I liked the way it sounded before it went out, so replacing with a better speaker would be OK. I just want it to go together like stock.

it depends on wut the sub calls for... some are best fit for sealed/ported enclosures but they usually have a specific enclosure size and type for the best sound. should b in the manual. most people think a 1000 watt sub is louder then 500 watt sub but this is untrue as you can only get a few db's difference with double the wattage. you would need a whole bunch of watts before you can start doublin up some decibels.

and some are under the assumption that decibels are directly related to a volume knob. It does not take twice as many decibels to double the volume. Think of decibels more along the line of the richter scale. The difference between a 3 and 4 earthquake is actually ten times more intense.
 
of course it's not that drastic, but you get the idea. I do not agree with your statement that a properly set up 1000w amp and sub combo is no louder that a properly set up 500w amp and sub combo.
 
Hey pete, I would suggest a memphis mojo 12" woofer. RMS is 1100 watts with a peak of 2200. Can handle anything you throw at it and can find it for $400 or less. You won't believe it is just one speaker. If you don't want to spend that much, find you a memphis M-3 12" woofer. Should pair up nice with your new amp.
 
thanks slick. I was actually looking at a used memphis mojo on caraudio but didn't know anything about them. There is also a guy on there who builds custom subs. Wonder what he would charge for a smaller one like this. I'll try to post up a link to an ebay ad i ran across too.
 
mojo are the sh*t if its the real deal and not similar lookin m series one....but did u take a look at the link i posted for the re subs at under 500?

There are some crazy expensive subs out there. Look at the link I provided earlier for proof. Its funny because people who compete in DB drags and comps like that don't spend much on their setups (at least not as much as you would think) but straddle stack their amps which is imo the most important thing in the whole system. Not taking away from the sub and/or wiring because they are important as well. Anyone interested in more serious setups should consider the big 3 as well

Those Mojo's are beasts as well. I had a hard time finding them though
 
dj, i did check out that link. I could only run one of those with my amp. The single sub option on ebay is more expensive than the link in my original post. I sort of wanted to stay in that 300 or less budget since i an going to do the big 3 upgrade and a kinetik. No upgraded alt yet.

If that is what you are wanting to spend, then try and find you a M-1 or M-3. Think they handle 600RMS and 1200MAX so it should sound awesome with your new amp. They have a good deal on a pair of mojos on ebay. M series are still really good subs, but not as good as the mojos.
 
If you can find one of the older eclipse titanium subs those are some of the best subs i ever used. You can probally pick one up on caraudio for about $200.Or if you can find one of the phoenix gold titaniums those are badass too.I have one of the eclipse aluminum subs they look just like the titanium except the surround is different and mine is only rated at 600 rms but it takes 1000 all day long..they are pretty soild subs i think mine weighs about 40 or 45lbs
 
man i would jump on that i didnt even realize they were new ,those were made quite a few years back ,I wish i had some extra money but i just bough a 90 notchback otherwise i would split the pair with you and we could both get one a little cheaper..
 
Hey Pete, are you getting your alt re-wound or getting a new one with more juice?

Also, Mike Mead has been my car audio idol for years now. As I have grown older though I find myself not listening to hip hop as much, mainly because it is some of the most ridiculous/annoying/retarded Music out there now. Ive reverted back to my older hip hop music and listening to heavy metal. You really don't gain much from an L7 15" kicker with Metallica Lol. So my mono blew out and I have not replaced it, and don't plan to either. My speakers themselves are really good,at least to me and i feel they do enough. Anyway, I derailed, good luck with the sub hunt Pete
 
Hey Rick, no upgraded alt yet. Gonna wait til this one dies. Then, it will be a new 220 amp alt.

Sancho, Are those Phoenix gold titaniums seriously good? I don' tknow much about PG stuff, but I thought they were more entry level (although that sub certainly does not look entry level).

As far as the 10's... I'd have to run both of them to get a 1 ohm load, and then I'd only be feeding each sub 600w rms. I think they'd be underpowered, right?

Someone over on CA linked this:

their stuff now isnt near as good as it used to be.Yea believe me that sub is is the sh*t .That titanium line is the best stuff they phoenix gold ever made.If you can read some reviews on them .I had one of their titanium amps a few years back and it was a beast.Im pretty sure those subs were like $600-$700 new. Yea those orions i got are beasts they will take 2000 watts all day long..I had them up on ebay and some guy bought them for $580 for the pair and then never paid for them..Yea but back in the day pg was top of the line stuff but now they are like mid to lower level..
 
I was actually just looking them up and the pg's were $800 new. But im sure they guy will take a little less than what hes asking for them..
 
going to get. Haven't bought one yet. Still throwing it around. I do need to buy a kinetik or similar battery style cap. And the big 3 upgrade. That d2400 is going to need some more juice when it gets a 1 ohm load.
