bass

[Nafoff]

ok i am not as clued up as i would like to be so some help would be nice

ive already got 13cm pioneers in my valver doors and want some base, how would amped 6x9s sound compared to a sub

i dont want stupidly loud, i want quality and lots of space in my boot

cheers neil

 

[Bryan]

6x9s are not worth the money

a sb is the ONLY way to get true bass into a car, the 6x9s (unless genesis 6x9 subs) will produce too much high end music, a little mid bass and no low end at all, which completely screws the sound phasing

get a sub, i have a 8" boston sub for sale that operates out of a 0.3cu ft enclosure, which, as many will tell you, is tiny

 

[blink172]

For just nice simple bass that only you can hear, try a 8" sub. 6x9s are horrid inventions, one of those things we wish we could uninvent.

Maybe try a powered sub unit, rather than an amp and a sub. Unless you want some loud stuff, then get a boxed 10-12" and an amp with enough juice to properly power the sub.

 

[Nafoff]

had been looking at the powered subs in someone elses thread (you mean compact subs yeah), what would the sound quality be like on these though, i still want decent tunage, i use the full width of my boot see.

bryan have you got any pics mate

 

[Bryan]

just in case you aint heard of them, Boston make very good quality audio gear

 

[pigme1000000]

i had a boston box with two boston subs,was quality

 

[Bryan]

this was a £200 sub new, will drop lower than many 10" subs available, yet right up there with the best 8" subs on the market at the minute

if anyone is interested i only want £80 which will include p&p

 

[Nafoff]

will get back to you mate, got any smaller images as they take ages to load

 

[Bryan]

will try and reduce the image size tomorrow (later today)

hope this helps

 

[Nafoff]

will let you know mate, i have insurance coming out sat so will see how i stand

 

[Bryan]

no worries, let me know as and when you can

prefereably by monday, so that i can whack it on e-bay if needs be

 

[Nafoff]

will do, is £80 your lowest price, let me get this right to it does not come with a box no

 

[Bryan]

yes £80 is as low as i will go including delivery (its a fooking heavy sub) im already taking a shot in the foot by selling it for that price

for an extra £20 i can have a box made up, but in all honesty, youd be better having one made youself for less, bu no, it currently doesnt come with a box

 

[Nafoff]

i was looking at getting a stealth box but just checked the price and at £100+ quid its a no no to that,

how would i go about working out the right size of the box

sorry for all the questions
