DoogyRev Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 After hearing Dave's yesterday I would say say go with Pioneer TS-WX77A , also just think of the space you will save Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beb Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Depends on the space available and what amp you're using. You looking to fill the whole boot or keep the sub hidden away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Easy to fit, active so no seperate amp needed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You looking to fill the whole boot or keep the sub hidden away? budget, what amp, what size, where you putting it, what music do you listen to? Space isnt too big of a deal since i dont ever need to put shopping ect in there just the odd jacket lol , Id like to keep it hidden to people looking in , i.e behind the rear strut unless u can get a cover or something. Budget is £300 including Amp , Iv already got a Fli Loaded 1000M amp here i can use though depends on size of sub if it will fit in the car as its rather large. Id like it to go either side of the strut , preferable behind it so not visible to thief's , I listen mainly to HipHop and Grime and like my deep low bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen bigger ones that you can get 2cuft. So its 500wrms @ 2ohm your amp that is. So You have the choice of a small under strut box being sealed as it will drop low with a 10" sub. Because you havent got that much power a more effcient sub like a Id Max would be good for you IMO. You could get something like what ive got a Fi Q but that can take 1000wrms but Im giving it 1200wrms @ 1ohm. Or you could get a big box made that would fit under the strut but would take more of the boot up and have it port tuned to about 33hz. My last sub was a RE XXX v3 15" in a 4cuft box port tuned to 32hz and it was awesome with the lows. It was very clear to but I was running 1600wrms. So you could maybe get sub that needs about 2cuft ported and that could work for you. Do you perfer vented or ported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere round here does custom boxed as far as i know / can find so limited to things like above with pre built box's, Havnt heard a ported box but i read they are better for low bass.

Dblock Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Ok so lets say the under strut box gives you 0.7cuft before displacemnt Id go for a 10" sub if I was you. Id try car audio direct or the classifieds on TA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hang on.... You are knocking my choice of sub as being low rent and yet you went for a chinese HU  Yes a 'traditional' sub will out perform what I have no question but the cheapest you are going to get a decent sub + box + amp combo under the strut or in the bose sub location is £500ish I would suggest you sort out your HU first, then ditch the speakers for better ones with a good amp and then think about subs   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

un1eash Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 JL Audio everytime, you can pick up 10w6v2 subs for around £100, then you'll need a 500.1 Slash amp which go for arounf £150. £60-80 should get you a box made upto spec and away you go. I've had many subs before and now avoid Fli,vibe and other halfords brands. Alpine do some good stuff and ive always liked pioneer after having 2 12" 304C's in my Nova running of a PG XS220 amp.

spursmaddave Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 This sub looks tasty My reasons for getting the Pioneer were i didnt want an under strut one that took up half the tiny boot and it was fairly expensive to make up one to fit behind the drivers seat. If you read the reviews you will see they are pretty good, certainly sounds good to me anyway. All depends if you want all out volume or just a fuller sound, as Dblock said to me did i want to flap peoples trousers as i drove past I also like to be different and do things myself Glad the chinese unit is working, but much more glad your looking at a better alternative Its well worth swapping out all the bose speakers, amps etc you certainly wont be dissapointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

un1eash Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Sorry i was refering to used prices. There must be car audio shops local to you that make custom boxes. I had two made for my 10w6v2, the first was slot ported for when it was in my Z4 and then i changed to sealed when it was in the 350z, both were to JL's spec and the sealed fitted perfectly under the strut.

Looking on there now but struggling a bit with not fully understanding whats what , Iv found a Jl 500/1 V2 on there if thats any good To be honest i could do with a few links from yourself and dBlock for a sub , preferably with box . Id rather use my existing 500wrms amp and save a bit of cash ( Saving for and exhaust and wrap ) and already have a decent gauge wiring kit. Thing that attracted me to the above is that most are around the same rms as my existing amp and come with a box so would be plug and play so to speak , Id much rather have a custom box ect though if its simple enough..? Also am i right in thinking there is no point getting a sub with a higher RMS rating than my amp since it would never get that amount of power through it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
