Vibe i actually really like 
thier high end stuff is very good, lower end chavtastic sell at halfrauds not so good,
saying that the subs i used were not for general sale.
they are releasing a whole new SPL range that looks very very nice indeed price tag is somewhat on the hefty side but its not going to be the type of thing to pick up in a store,

Indeed, as far as build quality & reputation are concerned
Same goes for Kenwood, Sony, JVC, Fusion, Fli and a few others

I've got the JBL sub in your 1st post but the 12" version. I'm really pleased with it, doesn't distort when pushed to silly levels and produces good deep bass. I heard Vibes weren't that good from a Vibe owner, but that was a sub and amp in one so maybe a sub alone is better........test it and see.

Focal, not that I'd be biased or anything
To be fair none of the focal range would last 5 mins with this chap (no offence).
They are very easy to drive, dont like to be played mega loud and hate distortion off cheap amps. I run a utopia 13" 33wx off a phoenix zeropoint ZPA 0.5 and i have to be soooo careful with the gains as not to cook the coil.
As said before re is the way to go, i had a xxx 18 which went for peanuts on flebay, would of been absolulty ideal.
Vibe ..... errrrr i thought vibe made fli stuff as in are the same company bad move.
One decent sub in the rite enclosure will kick @rse....
2FST4U - if you can build your own box, PM EFMax on TalkAudio and ask about getting him to design you one. I had one done by him and it's very good

thanks i will do
You do realise the box is the biggest factor to how a sub sounds right?
You can have the greatest and best sub in the world stick it in a £10 box and it will sound worse than a £100 sub and box combo.
Its all about the setup and honestly £35 is not a lot. If you look around talkaudio and ask about SQ installs theres a couple guys there whos total fitting an design costs are in the £50,000 mark. There was a guy there when i used to go to the forum who's total system cost including design was coming up for £150,000. Not sure if those members still go there sure someone else can say though.
So in closing £35 is naff all.

What do you mean "this chap"?
Also - you have to be careful with your Utopia sub??? :S
Utopia subs are higher up than mine in the Focal range, and the K2's are popular for thier competing performance.

The guy who started the post... focals are pure sq, he's already blown one sub because it wasn't playin loud enough for him.
As for the utopia ..compair'd to previous subs iv'e had ( attached below 13w7, re xxx, cerwin stroker,image dynamics and a aliante) its very easy to push it beyond what its capable off, but as said it was never designed just like aliante to play mega spl, its all bout the sq.

I have 2 12" JBL subs you can buy. I used them for about a month and then got fed up of them. Been sat in my room ever since!

No, they won't, don't worry!

You have had some setups in that wagon!
Ah right, so basicly you've been expressing my own point :clown:

Get 1 good decent quality sub, give it a good enclosure & plenty of power.
For SPL I'd get a MTX sub, for SQ I'd get a Focal - oh wait I have one
