Which setup would you get?

[brynm]

I have a 1400 watt amp, been thinking for a long time of getting a new sub. I'm running at 700 watts right now on two 12" Infinity's sealed and I want to increase SQ, but don't want to lose output. Both of my new options would be going in one of Thumpper's (www.poundthatsound.com) ported boxes.

Option one: One 12" Xcon D2 (with 1400w running it)

option two: Two Mach5 IXL10 D4's ( with 700w) running to each sub.

I'm leaning a little more towards the two 10's simply because it would give me a bit of trunk space back.

[JimJ]

My vote would be for the IXLs sealed, but that's just me :)

I really want to try a pair some time...

[Toasted1]

What kind of amp?

[brynm]

Kicker SX1250.1

[brynm]

And I should mention I can get the two Ixl's for 330 shipped, the Xcon is about 485

Sucks to live in Canada and want good sound.

two ixl's

[_AnGeL_]

i wouldnt pay that much for an Xcon....

[gymfreak101]

I would choose the ixls and I think mark makes a passive radiator for them also. that way you can get ported output and keep the box small and keep sq.

[brynm]

yeah, we get raped when things cross the border, my parents are thinking of heading to Texas for a couple months this winter. Maybe I'll just get the Xcon sent to them and have them smuggle it across.

When I bought my Kicker SX600.2 amp off a kid on ca.com, I paid $185 shipped, got hit with $60 in border fees. FML

hmmm I saw that PR on his site, thought it was just for the MJ18. His 10's take a pretty small box as it is though. IIRC ported was around .8 ft^3, My box now is around 2.5 I think.

[Porch Monkey]

go with the 1 12 sealed, with lots of power

[brynm]

I'm still kicking myself for not jumping on Jake's trade in when he was preselling the SAZ-2000D, Would have just been $30 for shipping.

[_AnGeL_]

u slow.

[brynm]

I was going to do it then he had stopped doing the trade ins. :/

[Captain Ahab]

The two.

More cone area FTW

[ramos]

Mach 5 all day long out of the two. Big plus is not having to deal with Mark ( Different mark ) and Aaron. :)

[brynm]

The win of the Mach 5 is I might be able to get some Funky Pup dust covers from Mark to put on them.

lol

[fbi90909]

How come I don't see any TC or audiopulse drivers on the list???

Plus, go 15.

[fbi90909]

10's and 12's are for girls

[brynm]

10's or 12 are good for people who are in their mid-30's and want to keep some trunk space...2.5-3 cubes is about all I want to give up in my car. I sometimes take the car out to work and leave it there (about 550 miles one way) . Need to keep some safety gear in the car with me, esp. in the winter.

Just drive across the boarder and pick it up, dog. :fyi:

[J31Bro]

First off, why are you going by birthsheet rating? (claiming to get 1400 rms from a 1250.1)

You'll never see that power in a real life application. :fyi:

[fbi90909]

a sealed 15 will fit nicely in a 2cuft enclosure :fyi:

10 hours to get to Minot, ND, closest reasonable sized city. I might as well pay the extra $100 bucks on the sub rather than pay for a hotel room, food, and gas.

I noes this. The amp has been tested to put out 1400w by the factory, will I see it? No.

[fbi90909]

old man looking for subs ITT

:P

i'd probably just get the single 12 to keep things simple.

Yes, us old people like things that are simple.

[Porch Monkey]

and smelly

if angel doesn't take slim's AA Havoc motor and basket I will have a 15. It would be sealed, because 40 cubes is way to big to have any space left in my car.

[fbi90909]

i have an AA Atlas(XBL^2) motor sitting around. i'm sure david could easily recone it for ya. it takes a 2.5" coil iirc.. i'll sell this DIRT cheap for what it cost me when i bought it to only have it for 2 days cause my friend blew it from turning the gain up on his crap audiobahn amp :mad:

[_AnGeL_]

wtf you got now fbi? u still have the re xxx?

[_AnGeL_]

i remember seeing your car on cardomain before i knew about ca.com and other forums :keke:

you're still a feg tho <3

[fbi90909]

nah, i sold the XXX like in 07 i think.. i bought a 15" FL BTL pushed by 2 saz1500ds, got sick of that after it fucked up my trunk.
sold the BTL, picked up a TC Sounds LMS5400 15, run it on a saz3000d. i'm happier with the lms5400 but i'm losing a lot of output with the sub forward firing. my car likes it in to the rear :P

[ramos]

10's and 12's are for girls

easy now, all though I'm gonna try sqeezing 2 15's in the trunk of my 1st gen altima :evil:

[fbi90909]

i could stick 2 15's ported in the trunk of my civic sedan :fyi:
though it'd be tripple 6" ported in a 7.5cu after displacement enclosure. forward firing though.
downfall? absolutly NO trunk space for batts amps or anything.. :/

[_AnGeL_]

oh damn, that was awhile ago lol. PIIIB

[ramos]

I will still have access to my spare under the floor :)
