OPS Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) Hello, I am after a sub for my custom box, I have built a sealed box which is quite small (don't know the exact size) I have about £50.00 to spend on a sub and it wont be overly powered, (I have a 250W sub at the moment). I got outbid on a JL audio sub 125 RMS.Oh it has to be a 10"I was thinking audiobahn?ThanksOllie Edited November 17, 2007 by OPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 there is so much wrong with this thread i dont know where to start.First off you start with a sub, then build a box.As you have not, then you need to work out how large it is.Then you need to find a sub which can work in the enclosure you have built.

little rich Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 ^ he does have a point, if the box is too small it will sound crap and may blow the sub and same goes for if the box is too big, im getting a box made round my sub, and the the car made round my car ha, have a word with rik at rmd he will sort you out,rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPS Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Yeah, I know i've done it ass about face, I'll just buy a sub for my enclosure, It's not that small.I'll probably get bored and end up rebuilding it anyway.Ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 can you measure the box and post the dimensions and i'll work out the size for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Out of curiosity what amp are you using to power the sub? No point reccomending a sub if you cant power it properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPS Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 250W it's just some basic mosfet thing i think. no major brand.I'll get some dimensionsOllie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Is that 250w MAX or RMS? Makes a huge difference between the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC02 FFF Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 try and go alpine if u can, Wudnt bother with Infinity, xplod, Vide/Fli , Kenwood from my experience The rim gets very brittle, if it was me with that money id go for an alpine or dere i say Pioneer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Without meaning to go against whats been said above, for your budget it would definately be worth looking at Infinity 'Reference' series sub. Not fantastic by any stretch of the imagination but they are within your budget & are very durable. I can vouch for this after running 4 in one install with not the best built box in the world & majorly overpowered. They still lasted me 18 months without a single problem before I stripped them out & sold them on.... They were used to replace 4x Alpine budget subs (2 burnt out coils & 1 cone surround failure) If you keep an eye out on the 'bAY' you should be able to pick up a fairly decent 2nd hand sub which will be much better, just make sure you test it first before you hand your money over!

joff16v Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 dont go for all the mainstream shizzle!alpine, kenwood, pioneer etc etc, all ok for bang for your buck but not much in the way of SQ!www.plush-automotive.comhave a word with luke at plushhe will sort you out some quailty gear, he supplys hertz, helix, brax, audison etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 he will sort you out some quailty gear, he supplys hertz, helix, brax, audison etc etcThe guy only has £50 to spend, that would barely buy a re-cone kit for any of those brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Lupo Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Every time I buy a car I change the head unit / source, then fit components up front that are amplified off a dedicated amp. Get the overall sound right first.Then I buy my bass amp in relative terms to the sub (Wattage RMS and impedance). Build and refine the box... Then in it goes for a good eq session!You want to listen to what Andi is telling you! When I was doing my GTi for SQ he recommended Crystal subs to me and RE Components. Spot on mate! I have 150w rms x 2 for the comps and 600w rms for the sub, courtesy of Tru Technologies and Digital Designs amps. The DD gives the Crystal Comp X2 a good spanking! and I custom modded the Tru Technologies amp with audio grade capacitors and 8 x Texas Instruments Burr Brown operational amps. The standard TT sound is absolutely class, but the Burr Brown upgrade made it sing!!I haven't had the chance to post it on here, but I made a new Digital to Analogue convertor for the car pc and a Valve powered line driver / signal pre amp!
