New Setup. Ideas?

[guitarplayer825]

So I'm getting tired of my current setup (Shitty internet Chinese amp to one old style Alpine Type-R 12"). Any ideas for something new? I want something loud as fuck but also cost effective. Do 15's fit in CB trunks? Here are some of the subs I was looking at.

(BTW I know the Type-Rs are more powerful than most of these subs but mine is the old style 300w RMS and for some reason it doesn't sound too good.)

I know it's a lot of choices but any input?

shy away from square subs and audiobahn. squares are less durable and audiobahn is lower grade. ive never heard Cerwin Vega! car audio but their in home is great. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...TS-W308D2.html thats my favorite from your list

[guitarplayer825]

Really? I always thought square subs were better because they take up pretty much the same space as a regular sub but with more cone area. Thanks for the info

Edit: Audiobahn taken off the list, and as far as I know Cerwin Vega is a pretty good name in car audio

Before changing subs, how about going to a ported box? its cheaper and may give you a good idea of what you really want.

[guitarplayer825]

My current box is ported, I still don't like it very much. My setup has changed a little from my MRT

[sonikaccord]

Is it custom or prefab?

sillyness.


Get 2 kicker comp cvrs in a kicker box on ebay for 160 shipped, Its loud and sounds nice as fuck. thats what i have

[guitarplayer825]

It's custom, but it was made like complete shit. I bought it off Craigslist and it's just not a well made box. I'm going to make a new one that's 1.65ft^3 at 32Hz when I get my table saw hooked up again (Damn lack of 220v panels :P) but that'll be for the new setup

Its not much of an audible difference. but the killer is since they're square they have stress points at the corners and they rip easier. Especially in climates with different temperature variables. I live in MN and I've seen square subs break within a year because they're less durable.
