it really depends on what sort of money you want to spend, when it comes to subs.

 

[BRUN]

totally depends on your budget mate

personally i can recommend the Phoenix Gold Octane R range, ive had em myself, will be having em again, and have sold a few in the shop i work at, they are very good subs for the cash.......

 

[Hart]

cheers guys much appreciated

 

[Sport182]

I have http://caraudiosecurity.com/catalog/product_info.php+cPath+60_64_113+products_id+532this Alpine sub. Id recommend it

 

[FiDoDiDo]

As far as brands go, what would best the to look at?

For example for a head unit I would get an Apline.

 

[BRUN]

whats your budget

 

[Hart]

say 150 tops

 

[BRUN]

for around the £150max mark id look at the following


Phoenix Gold Octane R
R.E RE
JL W0
Precision Power PC
never heard one, but the Magnat Destroyer is probably worth a look too, Magnat stuff is very very good value for money, their amps are excellent for the cash, and id be tempted by that sub in that price range

tbh for an extra £30 you can go to another level, but it depends if you have that kind of money, JL W3v2, Phoenix Gold Octane ZR, Diamond CM3

 

[Dink]

maybe one of these

(replace the (plus) with a plus sign)

I got a magnat 12" sub& its excellent quality, not too much just perfect.

 

[Clellandmc]

Stretch your budget to £180 for the Audio Systems 12" sub, you know ya wanna!!! Thats the mid range 12" though, not heard the base model (no pun intended) not sure on price of it either.

 

[*Smiley Stacey*]

I have a 12" Infinity Perfect 12.1 and they kick pretty well, boyfriend also has 3x Re subs and everyone seems to like them.

 

[liamrsi]

The best buget price sub is a 12" JBL sub from motorworld (formally les smiths)

if you dont have a small budget, get a DB Audio 1200watt rms sub, you can pick em up from the net pretty cheap BUT you have to get em from america cos you cant get em over here anymore, so i been told.

i have the DB audio sub and am totally pleased with it, however, if i was to get another one, i would defo go for the JBL as they are really good for the price!!!!

 

[liamrsi]

oh cant remember exactly, but the JBL 12" is either £50 or £75, i believe its £50 eack, so u could afford to get 2 subs plus the box for under £150 and i guarantee u wont be dissappointed if u have an amp powerful enough to run em

not the case really mate, a handful of shops which were Les Smiths are now Motor World but they are only down south i think, the company itself has over 230 stores, its national

 

[JJ!]

i have an infinity one, not sure what model but quite high up in the range as it can handle 330w RMS

 

[BRUN]

oh and the JBL subs from Motor World are as follows


10" - £30
12" - £50
15" - £75
they are all usually double that price in a lot of other places, they are excellent value foe money subs, but if you have the cash spend your budget and choose wisely and you will get a better sub than the JBL

 

[Bryan]

i know weve done this budget to death, but once more wont hurt me

10" circa £150

Diamond CM3
JL Audio W3v2
Mac Maximus
Orion P10
Directed CompX

12" circa £150

Precision Power PP12
Directed 312
Vibe Space 12
Infinity Perfect 12 (if you know all about enclosures, this one can sound amazing)

What type of enclosure does it need then?

 

[Bryan]

well i last put one in a bandpass enclosure which had a lot of development work, port length, placement and box tuning

there is no right or wrong for a sub, just how you change the sound from the enclosure

 

[Hart]

i looked at pheonix gold octane r 12" today for £100. any good? and also the components to go with it. any better ideas for components aswell?

one of the JBL packages no doubt, the subs were cheap anywayz, the deals were doing on that stuff at the moment is insane !!

 

[FiDoDiDo]

Actually forgot to say it wasnt a JBL package although they did seem good value.

Got an amp that was meant to be about £300, got it with about £50 off (cant remember the name of it) the sub was a 12" Pheonix Gold as recommended and got the cabling free.

 

[BRUN]

nice one mate, you wont be disappointed with that sub, they are excellent for the cash....

 

[Hart]

hey, yeah didnt seem bad gettin 80 quid off, whats the mac audio amp like? im waitin for my alarm to be fittin on the 15th, then its all goin in!!

dan

 

[BRUN]

the Mac Audio stuff, again, is brilliant value for money, not bad quality at all either
