Mixing Subs

[Dave.]

As above, i have a hexagon Sony XPLOD currently in the corsa, providing my amp can power it, im thinking of fitting my spare JBL sub i have too

Just wondering what peoples experiences are with mixing and matching subs? does it sound crap, or not much different? or better?

[FB_evolutions]

TBH mate there both cheap subs so just buy anothe one! and i wouldnt mix and match subs.

[Jack]

depends how you have it wired, as they'll both be putting different loads on the amp.

BTW, you mean pentagon sub?

[MattBrown]

Cheap subs ftl dave!

Sperate amp for each sub unless your going monoblock!

Just concentrate on going fast rather than a big stereo

This.

flog the sub's and amps

get a good single sub with a monoblock amp

treat your ears

edit: to give you a idea when i was 17 in my 1st nova i had a 12" jl audio sub with a alpine monoblock amp

was awsome nice and low, not to loud but more importantly clear

So long as they are in sperate boxes & as Jack says, independantly run or wired.
Mixing the sizes could give you a better sound spectrum, though only if setup to optimise this.

I used to run a JBL 12" and an SPLX 10", separatly powered in my corolla, had no issues with it as me and a lad i used to work with set it up properly so o had a good range. Only bad thing was the weight, and loss of all boot space

I'd stick with one sub (which ever is the beter one) Unless they're both setup properly then it could sound worse (worse case scenario) Why have two subs anyway? It's only a Nova with a boot the size of a suitecase.

I have one Sony Pentagon 10'' Sub in a correctly sized box with an amp designed for it on a low pass filter. Nowhere near an expensive setup but it does the job very very well, with more than enough bass. I couldn't be happier.

You can always be happier

Id rather go fast than have a big stereo, im past all that, i know im only 18, but i soon learned it wasnt for me
