Just curious seen some W7s in 8" and i am going to get me some sub this next tuesday. Now if you have 10s or 12s what kind of box do you have there aint much room in the damn cobalt. Please dont flame for asking about 8" subs i have herd some sick ass 8" subs

 

i got two 12 in eclipse cubs in a sealed box runngin 1500 watt amp its loud but clear only loud wehn i want it to be

 

thts my setup, good amount of room. 2 12's

 

8s arent a bad choice to be honest just remember they are 8s. oh and like ive said a million times the box is what makes the difference most of the time not the subs or sub size. ive been very impressed with 8s and very dissapointed with 15s. its all the box man

 

X2..QFT!!!!! Every sub and has is own requirements. the enclosure should always be considered AFTER you decide on the subs. Also ported/vented vs sealed, I prefer sealed, but they both have there advantages and disadvantages and some subs will react much better with one over the other.

 

what? I'm talking about a custom box. prefab is straight up ****. Good example was yesterday. My friend Jorge had 3 8" re subs in a F150 and a customer had me install 2 15" kicker cvrs in the prefab kicker box in a Expedition. 8s were way louder and sounded so much cleaner (cant expect kicker to be clean thou)

 

alright i would love to have 12s but i cant seem to find a box that will fit in my car i know a guy on ebay sells them any suggestions on box that will fit in our small ass holes i am not looking to have a whole lot of power speakers and amp

 

You can fit a decent sized box in the cobalt.

I had to remove the back seats to put in, but I managed to get a 4 cu ft box into my trunk...

 

If you want to pay shipping or are willing to somehow come get it I can get a custom box built for you. Ive already talked to my boss about it and like i told James R it would run roughly 110 plus shipping. My recommendation is to check around local shops and see who builds custom boxes. Getting something to fit in the cobalt really isnt hard it just very few prefab boxes fit. And honestly prefab is one of the worst things to do. FYI the "custom" box on ebay isnt a custom box its a prefab. a real custom box is built for your speaker... something built for your car just counts as a flashy prefab box

 

i dont mind paying for shipping now i am gunna look at some subs tuesday and i will get back at you. 110 plus shipping aint bad. now do you have a pic of any you have done? And i am going to a shop on tuesday they do boxes but i herd they are expensive and here in michigan there is really not many car audio stores close to me

 

I'll be able to fit dual 15" Polk Momo's in a sealed box (custom)
Sealed is easier and can be a lot smaller then ported, plus these bad boys were made to be in a sealed box.

 

check my gallery got pics up

beat you too it.. got 2 RE XXX 15s and if your willing to loose your whole trunk then ported can be had. my current box is 23" deep and the trunk is like 42"

 

hey how much are these REs in a box and will it fit in our cobalt should only need 1 of them

 

depends on how loud u want to go. a small setup like that would be louder then stock but its hard to predict if it would be enough for you.... mind you almost everything we do at the shop is big so its hard for me to compare smaller systems. price on that would be the 110 for the box and 80 for the speaker

 

whats the wattage on that one i dont think that is the one i was thinking about

 

thats the re re series... rated at 175 by re and the only 8" speaker they make

 

i believe the w7s come with there own how to sub box bulid when you buy there subs with all specs for the best sound out of them

 

can you do a 12" in one of those boxes that pushes between 500-600 rms adn 2 ohm

 

for 5-600 rms we have
MTX 5500
RF P3
RE SE
Kicker L5 (used)

 

what kind of price we looking at for each one of these

 

A single 8w7 in a JL spec ported box (see JL web site) will give you more than enough bass.
