thought i'd see what some of the boys thought on this subject CLICKY just to see what some other people thought
i agree - you can tell especially if played b2b (unless your completely tone deaf) its like i never realised how pooe sony h/u's are until i had a couple of pals put there h/u's into my car - all of a sudden my install sounds 20 x better, louder & clearer..
ello new hear but some people may regonise the username can you hear a difference, yes you can, i did when i went from a gt4 to the powerbass evolution, anyone can hear a difference in anything, i can prove this oh the questions, how much have i spent, naff all to tell you the truth, i got it all 2nd hand, on discount, cheap from the distributer or free this si what i run from this http://realmofexcursion.com/videos/PowerBase/pbxevolution12. 1.wmv to this http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Powerbass/pbx12.1.wmv Ice Blaupunkt new york headunit - oldie but a goody (bought 2nd hand no face off but full motorisation and secret security measures) front amp - mac audio mac atack 4ch bridged to 2ch (150 watts RMS roughly) - bought as it was cheap and ran the entire system for a short while Fronts - Boston acoustic - rallye Rc-61 - 2nd hand but never out of the box powerbass ES12 in a sealed enclosure - got cheap as i know the distributer audio-system twister F2>500 on the sub (claimed power output 1200watts RMS) - Free as i won it and a big sod off battery under the bonnet and way too much dynamat extreme to keep the music in the car
meh who cares about neatness, its all coming out soon to compete in street B another 12, put the big audio-system on my fronts (there gonna love me for that) big amp like a solid-audio 2500 or a pbx 3000 box with a removable port (low tune for daily driving, tuned at the cars peak for burps)
You want an unbiased view on the subject of car audio ... ... so you post on a car audio forum. Priceless. One quote from your forum ... I never said they couldnt form an opinion. But they wouldnt waste their time doing so. Why would you waste time and effort weighing up the facts to come to a conclusion on a subject you have absolutely no interest in ? Does bass_junkie83 spend his time forming opinions on matters he has no interest in ? No, I dare say he doesnt. The people I have in mind may, if they sat there long enough, be able to hear some vague difference in the sounds of the two subs and form this `oh so important` opinion. But they certainly wouldnt be able to say which was the `better` of the two. Although as which is better is a completely subjective matter, nobody really can anyway. The people on that forum are the same as you, they have an interest in all things audio and as a result find it very difficult to understand/comprehend (as does anyone with a major interest in something) that others cant appreciate their interests. Its usually then that they get start to become rather defensive over their little hobby, as is evident on your forum. Ah, `audiophile` snobbery, you cant beat it ... I wonder if you can get oak green subs ? Edited by: superden
In my Mk2 I have a 2nd hand 40 Cd player with the two lil standard speakers on the dash. Mk1 is being treated to a nice system. Alpine head unit, Crystal Components, Image Dynamics 10" sub. 2 Kenwood amps. Everything at cost price so it's all good. I like to go fast more than anything, but you can't beat playing your fav tracks on a good system on a nice summers day.
150 Kenwood head unit cant even remember the model it was on offer at Charlie Browns at Cribbs years ago. And 2 400W subs in boxes and 2 Amps and a pair of Sony 6x9s accuired for the pricely sum of 30
I have to agree with MBH on this one actually, there must be something wrong if you cant tell the difference between 2 different subwoofers, most if not all have a different sound. Oh, so far my audio has cost me not much Vibe Vp2 - Free Vibe SEK-60 - 50 Phoenix Gold r15.0:1 - 300 2x BBG 15" PG subs - 30 quid each Alpine HU - 90 (after something with an aux in, JVC probably) And i've just purchased some Old skool PG Zeropoint mids with sapphire xovers, and am in the process of getting the PG ZX600.2ti and a Solid audio F15D, plus an RESX15" P.s i heard mention of a cadence amp and also DD subs Still might go with the DD9515 instead of the SX Edited by: vwgolfgtimkii
recone a 9515? Anything is possible although that is pretty unlikely. The construction and design of a DD 9000 series (9000/9100/9500) sub is unlike anything I have seen before. I ran my 9115 hard, putting through about 1kw RMS from the cadence, and it never missed a beat. You could put 2kw rms through a 9515 without any trouble! I realise when competing you are pushing the limits so there's a higher chance of toasting coils etc..., but DD do send out cone/coil kits (for fairly cheap also) so you could get a UK firm to actually do the work.
it's not power that kills it it's a clipped signal i know loads that have reconed dd99's and others and it's a diy job where as blade ice are awesome with any problems that may pop up with an re
At the mo i'm running Alpine 9853r--220 JL Audio 500/1 mono amp--25 worth 600 2 x JL Audio 10"subs 150w each in JL audio Prowedge box--75 Had to replace the subs after blowing the old ones replaced with 2 400w JL Subs--400 Replacing components next when funds allow Stu

DB audio 6.5 when I get some door pods as for amp etc I have no idea how to do that (no clue about electrical things) ... and audio companies quote ridiculous amounts for fitting yeah for wiring that up that'll be about 300 quid .. r u out of ure tree?? its only wire isnt it? don't know about a sub coz these big boxes some ppl put in their boot look f**kin horrible, worst thing i saw was sum1 on my course at uni had a basetube in back of his nova, that cud roll around freely .... ... ... ... ...
The original 1987 stereo radio cassette and factory fit speakers. If I want to listen to music I'll do it at home.
