ive decided im going to go for spl and ive narrowed it down to 2 subs, 15 fi btl w/ all cooling options, or a 12 solo x. I can get the fi at retail price for 450 + shipping but I can get a used 08 sx12 for 350...


what do you guys think?

Ha, yah I know way to much money. But if you were looking for a sub to run insane power into that would be the one

I don't know I have to say Fi.
My reasons are well confusing to me even. I just can't get myself to like the square sub, I don't know why. Infact I lost all kinds of respect for Kicker when I first saw them, always seemed like a marketing ploy to me rather than a better way to make a sub. I dont know though, I have yet to even hear them, but I fear them and thus hate them

 

You can buy my Alpine Type-R . Hit's hard as hell with the amp I was using. It would be cheaper than buying a brand new one

 

yea well see how the type r likes 2500rms

but 47 views and only 5 votes??

added some links to the first post incase people dont know about these subs.

 

Do you really need that much rms?

 

yea...do you really need meth?

 

Yeah for my car to run, but your ***** going to be so load you wont be able to hear a car horn if someone blows it at you.

 

listen to the audio guru(emperor) solo x!

 

or police sirens

 

Yeah

 

lol i have ~5k rms... spun has ~3250 rms

 

i thought you both had 3k

damn im gunna need another t2k then

 

lol bump for more votes

 

its a close one, im leaning towards the solo as of now

So here comes the long lengthy explanation. my vote had to do soley with the box size required per driver. I would trust an FI sub over a kicker any day. hands down no question in my mind BUT a 15 in the box size required for spl isnt going to work well period. There's a point when you seriously have to say no this is too big (learned that **** yesterday with some fucktard) anyway obviously a round 12 has the smallest box requirements, 12 square mid, 15 round biggest. the requirements for a single 12 leave a bit of trunk space left over so fitting the bigger 12 square isn't an issue... so IMO a 12 square is the loudest single sub space wise that could easily be done in a cobalt

but its all going to be in the box

 

i go with the FI, because the radio shop i went to proved to me that square subs dont hit as hard as round subs...

 

well i decided the box im getting made is going to be tuned to 32hz, that kinda goes against the spl thing, cause i want it to hit hard low...

still say kicker if im going to have it tuned that low?

 

the solo x probably wont like it. but my argument has nothing to do with the speaker involved anyway. if ur tuning it that low a BTL 12 sounds like a good option
