Recommend me a sub

[bamaster 10+ year member]

I currently have two JL 8W7's in a sealed box. It sounds nice but the box is too big... even though there's more room in my trunk than this pic shows. One complaint that I have with the JL's is that they don't seem to hit very low.

I would like to have one enclosure on the side of my trunk. I'm guessing around 1.0 cf. I'd like a great 10" but I've been thinking of a 12".

I currently have three amps, one powers my components and the other two power each 8W7. So I'd like to ditch the 8W7's and one of those amps. So my new sub would be powered by one Sundown SAX-125.2 (400w X 1 @ 4 Ohms).

So what sub... money not an issue... fits in about 1cf sealed, hits low, and would perform well with only 400w? Thanks in advance!

are you looking for more sound quality or for it to be loud

 

[bamaster 10+ year member]

Sound quality with good output. At least as good as can be had with only 400w. heh

I was thinking of an Image Dynamics IDMax. But I thought I'd open it up to some suggestions.

You'll actually have to keep the gain low, check the efficiency on these. 1.5 cubic feet gross sealed.

This one will work well in the same sized sealed box and with normal gain.

That Dayton looks nice.

What about the SI Mag? I'm really liking that shallow mount depth! 5.5"!

Great speaker, your borderline on the low power.

Why not try a ported box for the JL's? Will get low if in the right ported box I bet.

The box is too big. And I'm trying to eliminate one of my amps. Three is too many. I wish that new JL Audio HD900/5 amp (150x2 + 600x1) was out already. That would be perfect.

Mostly rock and hip hop.

What's with the spam tag of yours? Sales Tracking Software? Trying to fluff your page ranking?

Hertz HX300 would fit the bill and is efficient enough to run off that 400wrms@4

Just get the Dayton Titanic, $150 and your done.

Well, I picked up the Mag and it arrived today.

Very nice looking sub! Now I just need to have it installed!
