InPhase Subs? - Saxperience

James_Skylit · 1st April 2009, 18:16

Right well iv been offered 2 of these subs for £90

Barely used.

http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/prod...12_p-20168.htm

Which looks like a complete bargain, im also getting a 1200W 4 channel amp soon which should power them fine when bridged?

I always said i wouldnt bother with a sub, but hey

if i do get these should i just get a double 12in box sealed?

Cheers

subs arent good SQ, and ive set two up PROPERLY and theyve still manageed to blow

youd need a custom box, which would take up 90% of your boot if not more

also, the 1200w amp, ill assume thats peak power, so youll be lucky to see a combined output of more than 800wrms!

if youve got your heart set on them, go for it. even for £90 i personally wouldnt bother after the experience ive had with them

Would you say it was better just to buy 1 sub then? As i do want a lil boot space to store odds and sods? So those in phase subs arnt very good? What sort of sub would you reccomend then?

I could get this juice 4channel 1200W amp for 75 posted, surely thats a bargain? BUT if i dont get 2 subs, not much point in getting a 4 channel ampl as i was planning to bridge, ahh im confused lol.

id rather die than own a juice amp

for 2 subs you want a mono

whats your budget? ill reccomend something decent

Are they really that bad, i guess i was attracted as it was brand new and £150 normally on the web

Vibe slick subs look good, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VIBE-SLICK-12-SUB-BASS-BOX-AMP-WIRES-PACKAGE-PACK-1_W0QQitemZ230334287259QQihZ013QQcategoryZ18805QQt cZphotoQQcmdZViewI

Well my budget is around the £200 mark.. But ebaying bargains gets the prices down.

Dunno if i can get pretty good amp and sub + wiring for £200ish? But ill let you work your magic

Ashleyp · 1st April 2009, 18:54

id spend nearer £300 tbh, can get some very good equiptment, check the link in my sig, few good ideas in there (a guide to budget audio)

James_Skylit · 1st April 2009, 19:05

Yeah i thought that, one of my mates mate spent like 2-3k and oh my god its so loud. Its actually stupid lol. I might just hold out, but im not really going after super bass like, just want a bit of punch to music, as i dont generally listen to music that loud.

So would that vibe set be okay for my needs? Eventually ill get something better but for the meanwhile..

EDIT: Yeah iv just read through your guide (Y)

why get something if you plan to replace it? waste of cash tbh

if you want something that bad, id go for:

James_Skylit · 1st April 2009, 19:16

not sure what his prices are, but he has a supplier of nearly every audio product out there on the general market

id have that package if i wanted to run a set of comps off the amp too, as its 4 channel

the other package was just for a 2 channel, so bridged just to run a sub

James_Skylit · 1st April 2009, 19:31

That 2 channel one looks pretty good value when you look at the prices seperately!

Ill get onto reevsy when i get home, but yeah cheers for advising me against the stuff i was just about to buy haha, would of been very disapointed by the sounds of it! Its my birthday in 2 weeks so i might be able to spend around £500 on audio for the rear, as the front of my car is alll good atm

Might hold out for my bday, if so should i get the stuff you reccomend in your guide at around £300?

Again, cheers for your help.
