I saw a Lanzar Max 12" on youtube pumpin out some lows... says 90 spl... 1000wats rms... saw for $35 bucks... anyone have any input?
pedro's statement is true but I think you can find some Kicker subs for pretty cheap on ebay, i would rather get that..
Actually the Lanzar Max subs aren't that bad of a sub for the money. I'd put one in a t-line or a horn
Is it just me or is this thing not bangin on the lows? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GZf-WhI5NM Also, can you guys tell me if any of these brands are good? (And perhaps rank them?) Duel Electronics Pyramid Lanzar Pyle Studio 8 Legacy Soundstorm Boss Audio Hifonics MA Audio Pioneer Power Acoustik Visonik There's some other little ones but I doubt they're any good... please rank to the best of your knowledge... +If you really want to be a good guy... go and find me the top subwoofer2 out of this selection: http://www.bizrate.com/carsubwoofers/index__sort--5__start--40.html
the only companies i would bother with on that list are: Pioneer for subs or amps, MA Audio mostly for subs, Hifonics mostly for amps, and Power Acoustik usually just amps.
i know a guy with MA subs that do very well in comps. actually he also runs sony amps.lol he can hit mid 43's~44's with that set up.
Most of those suck besides maybe Pioneer and MA Audio. Also you cannot judge how loud or low or hi or wide or deep a subwoofer will play by a video of a sub's excursion. That video shows nothing
From that list, Hifonics isnt that bad either. I know their old stuff was decent, not sure about now.
I think it's sonicelectronix that has the hifonics subs for like 20 or 3o bucks a pop. that's pretty cheap and their supposed to be good subs..
compare http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9314_Boss+CH12.html to http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9357_Hifonics+HFi+12D4.html what is sensitivity? for example: sensitivity: 88db
Say you have two subs...one is rated at 90db and the other 86db. you put each proper sized sealed enclosures with equal power. But the thing is that the sub that is rated 86db is louder in the lower region of the sub frequency spectrum than the 90db rated sub. You think why is that when the other sub is supposed to be louder. Well most db ratings are at 1000hz or so...at very high frequency. But that doesn't mean squat when the driver is meant to play 80Hz and down. The 90db rated sub may actually be 83db at 40Hz while the 86db sub is rated at 40Hz where it counts. Hope this helps
