    Question about Powered Subs...

    Hey guys...

    Does anyone have/dealt with Pre-Powered Subs? Im looking into buying Subwoofers for the Accord but i dont want to sacrifice my Trunk Space much, and plus then weight issues come into effect as well.

    I was looking into the Alpine PLV-7 LAT Subwoofer System, and was wondering if this piece alone or ANY system similar are actually equivalent to what they claim (Similar sound and power as 2 12" Subs)

    Please let me know, thanks!

    Heres the link of the system i was checking out: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-J8QcjFZ...1000&I=500PLV7

    500watts for $700, i think you can do better than that. i never knew anyone who had a powered sub so i cant really comment on that, but im sure you are paying extra because its powered. i say for the same price (if you are worried about trunk space and weight) get one good 10" and an amp. you'll probably save money and and have a harder hitting system and it might weight less than the powered-sub

      Yea that is to much. If you want some bass but with room and weight saving, you should get some alpine 6x9's with an amp. It is cheaper and will be light and you will have an empty trunk.

        what kind of speaker is that... never seen that b4. anyway, if you do think about getting 6x9's get the alpine. its all on your taste of hearing on what type to get either the type s or r. I believe they have type e 6x9's too. the type s is a 4-way speaker, as for the type r its 3-way. Just go to any stereo store and listen to it.

          Hey thanks for the suggestions guys...

          Yeah ive been contemplating whether or not to go the power sub route. I current have Alpine Type R 6x9's in the rear deck along with Type S 6.5's with 2 tweeters in the front. All of which is powered by an Alpine 7990 Headunit and a 4Ch. Alpine V12 MRV F540 amp. So im good in terms of the high's and quality. Its just a matter of getting subs now to meet the lower frequencies.

          I was thinking about going with a 10' powered by a Alpine MDR Mono amp, but then again im not sure yet. Problem is basically trunk space, cuz i use my trunk quite a bit and cant really do without space, but then again i was thinking of having a "Plug and play" subwoofer setup where i could disconnect the wires and keep the trunk space when i need it...

          But then again, your all right for $700 USD i can do much better in terms of my moneys worth...

            a bazooka tube will give u a bit of bass for 200 bucks....its not trunk rattling, but it will sound good.

            also u can get the infinity bass link which is a self powerd sub and hits nice for like 300 bucks.
            What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

            You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!
