8" subs

[Mike]

Whats a decent one, not interested in top end qaulity but dont want some cheap POS as its only going in the back of the bread van.

Whats a decent amp too? I know a grand total of fcuk all about car audio lol lol

[Gibbo]

i would go for 10" if you not going to spend top money so for the jbl 1000w 250w rms they dont sound to bad for money
but if 8" is what you want then kicker are ok they do two, one at £65 .150 watts RMS (300w peak). and one at £150 900watts /100-450 rms. you will need about a 1000w amp can pick a new one up for about £50 £150
hope this helps

i ve got a 200w bass tube with built in amp and it goes ok for mini power lol

[Mike]

Ok, £100 tops for the sub & amp, what will that get me? Ive seen some SPLX shizzle on ebay? That crap alright for cheap bass??

I aint planning on nothing specail system wise, just want some thud behind the old GM door speakers lol

Ill pass cheif, 1000watt is far far far more then i need or want. 12" is a little to big aswell TBH.

[Jack]

SPLX are ****.

Infinity used to do a good range of budget 10" subs. I have a Reference 10" in my Nova at the mo and its great. Can't seem to find them online though :(

[marc novataken]

how about a fli 10" active? very cheap and not too bad tbf

[novaman90]

were i work we had a vibe sq8 great lil sub we had it up for sale for 100 pound but for the size it was unbeliveble

[Mike]

Meh i might just go back to my roots ala my first ever install in my R5, Sony Xplod gear, seemed alright to me in 2003/4?

What they like now? Good or w@nk?

they are poo


sony are ok and can take the beating my mate got them in his car are they sound mint. remember its not just the sub and amp its the box

[Nova_Tek]

10'' Sony sub and an amp. Bob's your uncle; cheap bass and not too shabby either.

[craig green]

8" subs are great IMO. I've got a pair of kicker impulses to go on my next install. They were going into my Nova but will be in the golf now I think.

rarely used size though.

[L14MNP]

Used to have a pair of Focal 8's. Utopias or Polyglass - can't remember. Anyway they rocked.

I'd squeeze a 10" in your van if possible dude. Much more choice for the money. Also dependent on what genre you listen to, size plays a big part *snigger*

Sony Xpold are crap! Don't go near it. lol

I'd be tempted by an active Fli job. They seem(ed) to sound punchy enough and are nice and compact.

[Southie]

I'd recommend a JL audio sub which you can pick up fairly easy and last forever. Mines now 9 years old :d

Then buy a old Alpine v12 amp.

[Jack]

JL/Alpine match would be good - I have a JL 10W3v2d2 and Alpine MRD M605 in the Celica, purchased for about £100 all in from ebay, but they were second hand bargains.

[Mike]

Hmmm so much choice :S

Fck it think ill settle for my Kenny CD player and a cheap changer instead lol
