I am personally drawn to JL Audio. A little pricey, but they really deliver a punch. Try a 250/1 and a JL Audio W3 in a slot ported box, you will be pleasantly suprised. Just my two cents.

beercan

Well bee you know what im gonna tell you to buy .. the image dynamics id maxx 12

KillerBee

got a link to it you say a lot of good things about it let me see it

so that is a 250/1 JL AUDIO AMP and W3 sub right

sick06cobalt

diamond D series... nuff said...

I say Alpine Type x. Awesome sub!

blackcopper

I take it is the W# designed to be run off the 250/1, technically I would say the 250/1 is a little much for it, but with self control and the ability to tune the amp corectly, the 250/1 will run the W3 with plenty of room to play with. I hav this set up in my S10, and have it set at half gain. I think it gives significant thump to all kinds of music.

KillerBee

i was looking at those actually which amp would be good to run 1 of them only

so 250/1 is to big of an amp is there one a little smaller that will work fine with the w3

ok let me get this straight....you want something that hits hard but is not really really loud???

KillerBee

Yeah something that hits hard but i dont want no 1000 watt rms sub i am think around 500 watt rms or so i should of stated that earlier i dont want no big ass 15

blackcopper

Trust me the 250 or any of the slash series are worht every penny. You can go smaller like a JL Audio A1200 or even a different brand, Like I said my personal preference is JL. If you want smaller you can step to a Boston Acousics amp and run a GT20 or GT40 on a Boston G1 or G2. My suggestion would be to try to find friends withdifferent brands in the vehicles that they drive. Keep in mind, the vehcile plays a vital role in the sound of the suz in it acoustically. I am sure there are several guys and gals on this site that have different setups in their balts and they are all happy with the sound that they are getting. Look around listn and do some personal listening before you decide, trust me its worth it. And if you go to best buy or any other big box store, make the let you test drive the sub and box in your vehicle. that way you know what i will sound like in your car before you buy it.

KillerBee

ok what i am thinking about getting is these

Alpine Type R
Alpine Type X
JL audio W3

Anyothers i would consider.

and which is best a singel 12 or a singel 10?

sick06cobalt

honestly I think that alpine went in the wrong direction with thier subs... i think jl or diamond are the way to go...

KillerBee

what are these diamonds never herd of them i was also thinking about a 12" eathquake sub

Plz4Camaro

you my friend, need a JL W6 sub, with a 1000/1 JL amp, quality and power. i have 3 of them (JL subs works best in 3's)

KillerBee

I am only looking to get 1 dont want that much weight in my trunk so what about 1 w6 which JL Audio sub is the best bang for the buck

sick06cobalt

ask and you shall recieve my friend...

I have 2 12" d3s powered with a rockford fosgate T8002 comp amp.. its a tank...

they hit harder than any alpine sub would...

KillerBee

Those are pretty sweet just never herd of them

sick06cobalt

they are some of the best subs out there... most people will just go with alpine but spend some time searching and you will find something like diamond.. in fact you cant buy diamond online at all... they dont allow anyone to sell their products online...

WhiteSSBalt

Stock sub FTMFW!

KillerBee

Yeah but i want something with a little more thump

Plz4Camaro

yeah i only meant 1 for u, the one JL w6 sub comes in a 1 sub box, get it with the JL 1000/1 amp, the w6 is the best bet for you

i was only mentioning that i have 3, its not too heavy but i get wat ur saying, 1 JL w6 is more then enough

KillerBee

so what would all this cost me brand new and i am assuming i will need a cap huh

Single RE SR 12 in a Tline box with a ~350w amp... louder and cleaner then any of the ^^^ suggested options only problem is getting the box.

blackcopper

He is right the W6 is more than enough. I can tell you that those along with W7 are used in competiton sound vehicles. And a 100/1, well, if you realy want your head blown off by the movement of air, knock yourself out, I would agree it is probably the best amp out there, but for what your doing, its way overboard. Good luck with your endeavors, and if you havent figured it out yet, I am a JL dealer, so if you want some prices pm me and I ll try to hook you up. later
