It's something for the most part completly new in the industry. There is definatly many systems you can build on your own that will outperform that. _____________________________ (in reply to PReal) Post #: 3

I have not heard of those brands or even seen them on any cars that I have seen. Can you give me some information on them in "english," and like if they are clean and what not. I will admit I do not know too much about audio for cars... that is why I'm asking here. I just know for a fact that I want clean first. then power. Both would be nice but can this we done with 600 dollars including the cost of an amp??? that is my question now < Message edited by xcolt45 -- 4/10/2007 7:10:58 PM > (in reply to ttocs) Post #: 5

RE: Alpine PLV-7? - 4/10/2007 9:29:17 PM    seight311 Posts: 2286 Joined: 7/28/2005 Status: offline You can get alot for $600 when you just getting an amp and subwoofer. Everything PReal, Hisss and myself suggest are clean. Whether its a $80 woofer and a $100 amp. Or if it's a $800 woofer and a $2000 amp. The price range is what determines how loud it'll get while staying clean. _____________________________ (in reply to xcolt45) Post #: 6

RE: Alpine PLV-7? - 4/10/2007 9:43:00 PM    PReal Posts: 2268 Joined: 8/28/2006 Status: offline fi audio is made the orignial designers of the resonsnent enginnering subs, they are excellent all around subs. Elemental designs is another solid brand, they will produce lou, clean, acccurate sound. The reason you have not heard of them is that they do very little marketing and have few retail stores. They do this to keep prices down so that you can recieve a very high quality woofer for a great price. You will not be dissapointed. If you want to see some video of the different subs you've never heard, check out www.realofexcursion.com If you look under clarion you can even see me blowing up a 6.5 woofer from my pathfinder will a wall outlet. _____________________________ It needs a little work...

The world will be changed when they find a cone/surround assembly to handle that much excursion. PReal you know what I speak of correct? Correction... When they design a cone/surround. They find nothing! < Message edited by seight311 -- 4/10/2007 9:54:56 PM > _____________________________ (in reply to PReal) Post #: 8

I also liked the RE XXX extreme or something like that. It is an actual woofer that has a few inches of real excursion. _____________________________ It needs a little work...

RE: Alpine PLV-7? - 4/11/2007 9:43:00 PM    xcolt45   Posts: 28 Joined: 6/23/2005 Status: offline PReal. Like I said earlier I'm new to this whole car audio stuff. So. If I were to get the 130v2's would I need to get 2 of them. Would one sound good enough? would two over do it? Basically what would you prefer exactly. I want it to fit into my trunk along with a bat bag. I'm guessin that means I'll need a grill of some sort also. I listen to Rap and Heavy Rock none of that screamo tho. I would prefer the sub hitting every note rather than blowing my brain away and from what you told me earlier... both of these subs will do that. I watched the videos but I don't know what to look for.... as there any more help/advice you could give me on this. I appreciate it a lot. Because (like I said earlier) these are brands that I've never heard of. but I trust ya. you know your S*** (in reply to seight311) Post #: 11

RE: Alpine PLV-7? - 4/11/2007 10:04:50 PM    PReal Posts: 2268 Joined: 8/28/2006 Status: offline With the setups I already mentioned it states the number of subs that would work well with that amp. In general adding another woofer adds like 3 db. Also, porting a box of a single woofer should do close to the same thing. I only have one 12 in my pathfinder. If you remove your rear speakers to allow for bass passage, i think you should easily get away with a single 12 with what your trying to accomplish. You are already replaceing the HU so adding amps will be easy. Really I would do something like this for 5-6 hundred bucks.... Comps http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=5207 $100 Comp amp http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/4349 $115 Sub http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=31 Dual 4 ohm, $125 Sub amp http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/4352 $115  Wiring and Box built by you $70 Thats $525 for an entire setup that will be lightyears ahead of just adding subs for really really loud bass. If you really want good sound like you said, you have got to go full range hifi! _____________________________ It needs a little work... (in reply to xcolt45) Post #: 12
