something like that would be immense, in a 2cu.ft, 32 sq.inch slot vent, 16" long (40hz) box

alternativly id go for: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/ascendant-audio-chaos-p-6715.html?cadid=0fo2b0f91i648hr6k6k4cb02g3

the 1st is all out bass

the second is a very nice ammount of bass with excelent Sound quality.

either sub youll need a custom made box to match :y:

[huggy54]

1) had a feeling you was gonna say that sub, isnt the rms too high for my JBL amp and is there anywhere i can get the sub cheaper?

2) arent RE subs suppose to b good also

3) also is there anyone who makes custom made sub boxes?

[DJDannyB]

get the AA chaos :)

or the 12" version for some more bang :P

1) Watch Ebay and get lucky...
2) yes... expensive still... ebay?
3) sticky in this very forum.. about someone who will build boxes for ya..

[Ashleyp]

the soundstream will be fine, you dont have to get an exact match for power, if your equiptent is set up fine, theres no probs

i searched ebay for RE and SS, nothing found this side of the atlantic

[huggy54]

i searched to looks like im down the the SPL dynamics sub or the AA chaos sub, pulling my hair out about this, as i really want good quality bass not just stupidly load and shit quality, but at the same time i still want it loud. Out of these 2 subs just give me 1 you would pick, only just one

[reevesy_vtr]

What size box do you have your vibe sub in as the box is what makes and breaks a sub.

[huggy54]

i got it in this mate http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/4214.html

but i got the older version of this sub which is about 600 watt rms, can i just take the sub out of this enclosure as i got it fitted in my boot build which is a perfect for it, unless i get a new sub box built for the sub

[Ashleyp]

youll be pumping 1114wrms into a sub that can only handle 600wrms

[huggy54]

im changing the sub remember to either the spl dynamics or AA chaos. just wanna to know what sub to get for the jbl amp. im selling the vibe sub

[Ashleyp]

AA chaos for me

[DJDannyB]

chaos for me too mate. Defo want some SQ in there dont ya :)

[huggy54]

i do want good sq but putting 1100 watt rms into a sub that only handles 800 watts rms aint really getting the best out of a sub is it. also is it easy for me to take out A sub from my enclosure already and just stick another in

i considerd the orion, but theres no SQ atall, and iirc they require a box bigger than the boot of a saxo

[huggy54]

is this sub any good http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/ascendant-audio-havoc-p-6712.html

and will it work well with my amp

[Ashleyp]

yes its a good sub, no it wont work well with your sub

[huggy54]

will it make any difference if the sub i am buying is Dual 2 Ohm while my amp is 2 ohm

[Ashleyp]

will it make any difference if the sub i am buying is Dual 2 Ohm while my amp is 2 ohm

you amp runs at 4ohm too

the AA chaos is 800wrms @ 4ohms

you amp will give it 787wrms @ 4ohms

a great match

[huggy54]

what about the http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/ascendant-audio-havoc-p-6712.html

that amp? just want the best of the 2

[Ashleyp]

as i said before, its 1250wrms @ 4ohms

your sub only gives out 787wrms @ 4ohms

meaning your spening a lot more over the AA chaos to not get out any more power

[huggy54]

but my amp also is 1114 watts RMS x 1 channel at 2 ohms

[Ashleyp]

but my amp also is 1114 watts RMS x 1 channel at 2 ohms

i know, i own one

but you cant run a D2ohm at 2ohm

hence the reason ive said it for the last 2 posts

[huggy54]

so seems as though its down to AA chaos, which is begining to sound appealing to me and that little bit cheaper than the SPL dynamics, sorry guys if i sound so lost when it comes to ICE, I really am. So i guess the SPL is louder but the AA chaos is better SQ. Damn i really wanted both load and great SQ. Is 787 watts rms loud enough you think or do u thing its not loud enough go for the SPL dynamics

if built in the correct enclosure you wont be dissapointed, 787wrms is a LOT of power, people just think its not much because theyve heard that have 1200PEAK watts, which are usually ran at less than a third

put it this way, i was shaking my nostrils with my old sub running around 150wrms (or less tbh) off a crappy 2 channel amp in a badly made box with crappy wiring

[huggy54]

well i have a vibe sub http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/4214.htmlin its enclosure is it easy enough 4 me to take out the sub and just replace it with the new AA Chaos sub or is best to just get a new box.

Take into account i gotta boot built with my sub fitted in their pefectly so if i change the enclosure i need 2 get a new 1 built to the exact same size

subs work best in their own custom enclosure built to match.. sub box is more important than a a sub in determining a subs sound

[huggy54]

ok i guess i am to get a nex box made then?
