Where can I get SPLX stuff

[SKoob]

I can't find anywhere to buy ICE made by SPLX, the only place I found it on is Motor Wrold, anyone else know where else it can be aquired from?

[nova302]

wot splx stuff are you looking for i bought an splx spla1000 amp 1000watts and a splx 12"square sub 700w peak for around 200 from motor world. They have got quite a lot of splx stuff in there. Other then that i can't think of anywhere else off the top of my head.

[TWAG]

Have a look in the back of demon tweeks, they got loads of it.

[stan1]

Demon Tweeks were looking for ?129.99 for the SPLx 12" square sub's. Were Motor World will do them for ?59.99.
I brought 2 x 12" square sub's and the 1000watt amp and a powercap to keep think's running sweet. all this came to about ?320.00. than i made my own box and i'm happy with the set up i've got. :)

[epo]

motor world kroozin do loads of it 2 dont they

[LANKYPASS]

charlie browns iz another place you can get splx stuff so ive heard

[ZuG]

why would you want SPLX stuff ? its really crap.

[Yoshi]

I believe you can only buy SPLX stuff from the people that sell in the "kroozin" catalogue, as it is Motor World's own brand that they import. It's all budget end stuff.

[Paul]

Fuck off ZuG. Stop repeating the same fucking thing.

"SPLX stuff is crap."

Ur just a cock, everyone else on hear has there opinion, but u just keep repeating the same thing over and over and over.

SPLX stuff is really good, just because u got mugged off paying in excess of ?800 for an alpine head unit and one set of speakers, prolly nearing a grand for all ur stuff, SPLX would kick its ass for that.

So just stop saying the same thing over and over. The bloke with the cav, im sure he's got splx stuff, and if its the same one as my mate has told me about then it makes your head throb, unlike alpine.

[ZuG]

lol!
touched a nerve?
listen im just trying to help you not make bad mistakes. If you want to buy splx fine go ahead.

[Paul]

Fine, i will. oh wait i have.

Do you want a sound off?

I would simply kick ur ass.

[stan1]

can't wait till i show you lot what pure bass sound's like.
:lol:
SPLx rule

[Paul]

Stan1, me u and a few others seem to be the only with a clue...

[Cjscooby]

as paul knows i used to use Splx an still use a Splx 1000w amp to power me rocky fosgate subs but Splx are by far one of the best make for people on a budget who want good sounds an at the end of the day a sub is a sub most are made in the same place just different designs!!

Cj

[Paul]

Agreed, no sub is made of Kevlar, (apart from a few.) So all subs have principally a similar design, metal basket, foam surround, rubber insert and plastic cover. Simple, as, whether its Rockford or SPLX, a sub will sound very similar unless its v.v.v.v.v. expensive, and by that i dont mean a 150 alpine one, i mean 2000/3000 custom made jobbie.

Cj's system fookin pumps, when i heard it, its was an all splx set up i think.

Paul

[novaexplod]

i got 2 jbl 12" subs and a 10" jbl (competition subs) theyre trully amazing

[stan1]

how do you like my new splx setup??

[Paul]

Looks phat mate, bet its gonna sound it too.

[ZuG]

if u need 4 subs for a bit of bass it shows how weak SPLX are...
ohh bring it on PAR

[stan1]

i'm still running just the one 1000watt amp.
i could of stuck with 2 sub's but i thought 4 would look better.
in time i will be getting another amp. but at the mo the car shakes like f**k.
you going to burnin bournemouth ZuG.
i'll show you what the sub's can do with only 1000watt's. :lol:

[the nos boy]

WILCO also sell them i tink
and so do demon tweeks



Go for the slpx stuff trust me have u heard a demo of it his was running about 600 watt in der shop and it was pretty low

:D :D :D :D :D

I am hopeing to get the splx with the fat magnet stick to it wid 1000 wattz max only want one so my 1.4 still has a change of raceing

now zug go piss off and cry to your little mommer that u are playing wid der big boyz now


laterz


nos boy


splx is gonna rock der joint

[srs1]

seems everyone is going for it. can i throw a spanner in here.

what do people think of pro plus gear????????????????


getting rid of my 12's in boot and going for a single 10/12" one.
want some of my boot back.
i'm building 3 speaker pods for front doors. 6" components and 5 & 1/4 two ways. plus uprated front speakers. so i'm sorted up here, just need to get the back end moving.

[Ben3042]

Pro plus used to b shit, although they have started bringing out the Data series stuff which is pretty good, and for the money you will pay for it you cant go wrong,

For example, a Nemesis 2000 watt digital amp 1 channel @ 1 ohm stable for ?400

Not bad at all

[Paul]

nver heard of em, if ur reffering to data subs theyre still a load of bollocks. a mate of mine at work spent 600 on 2 12's they were wank. he took em back n put bk in his pionner subs.

[Ben3042]

Yeah data series subs, they are made by proplus, if your mate paid 600 for two 12z then he got ripped off coz their only about ?90!! as for pioneer, every pioneer sub iv heard has produced more distortion than it has bass!!, But splx is OK for the money youl pay for it but itz nothing amazing! the most expensive sub they have made costs no more than ?130, dont that say something! Thers a make called renegade that are new to the ice scene that were formally known as Dragster and there amps are excellent vfm, iv got a 2 channel 1500 watt monoblock amp, cost ?110 from bass junkies.

[epo]

12" 400 watt audiobahn sub for ?70 aint bad is it

[Ben3042]

Not at all m8

[Dpnova]

Pro plus are good value for money and motor world is the only place i know that sell splx :)

[Paul]

the data subs he had were huge, but they did nothing mazing. the magnat was fooking huge, rubber surrounds mahoosive.. maybe ?90 for the borttom of the range.

The data subs rnt worth it, even for ?90 he thought his pioneer sound better and pioneer arew wank.

[woody1980]

a mate of mine had 2 15 " splx subs the ones in perspex boxes sounded sweet as, not as punchy as my audiobahns but as chrisp as f**k .

[Chazsxi]

What are Alpine type-s subs like?

[Paul]

weak, theres better subs dan dem for da money JL, JBL etc...

[epo]

jl r spot on but a bit pricy i find but i know ur payin 4 quality

[Fletcher]

:roll:

i have been a member on here for ages, and although i dont post much i do read this forum quite a lot, and i can honestly say i have never read so much bullsh1t in all my life

SPLX is SH1T, there is no other way of looking at it, it is low budget worthless tat,

dissagree?? get yourself on www.talkaudio.co.uk and ask on there

:roll:

[Tigz]

lashednova How can you compair JL with JBL Im sorry son but JBL are not in the same leauge as JL!
And how can you say that Alpines subs are weak when compairing them with the likes of JBL and SPLX?

Ben3042 The Nemisis is ok for the money, but you need a power plant to run the thing, so someone wanting to buy SPLX is not really gonna have the electrical system to run something like that are they? And you try run a SPLX sub that will run at 1ohm.

Those of you who are running SPLX system I challange any of you to come aound beat my system with you cheap arse shite.

The reason that you can only buy SPLX form the likes of MotorWorld is because there is only Motorworld that have the balls to sell people shite that will last you 12 months (if you've set it up right) before catching fire.

Hi guys, i just want to make you aware of a few things to help you on your way...

---------------------------------

firstly POWER.
When looking for the power an amp puts out or a speaker can take, always look for the RMS value, everything else is not good..

for example, you will see many amps advertised as 1000 WATTS MAX POWER! for ?150..

sounds like a good deal dont it, but what the manufacturer wont tell you is that, the amp will only do that power if struck by lightning and for about 0.01 seconds before bursting into flames... not good, you need to find the RMS value, basically RMS tells you how much power the amp can put out without any distortion all day long..

unfortunately, its usually the cheaper manufacturers that quote these max power figures because there products are targeted at the ICE novice who doesnt know any better.

to find rms values, typically divide MAX POWER by 3. suddenly our 1000 WATT amp is now putting out 333wrms, big drop huh..

even more devious is when manufacturers combine the rms power of all tha channels into one large rating, this is no good either, say we are talking about a 4 channel amp, take those 333wrms and now divide that by the number of channels (4) so now its down to 83wrms..

so now we are down from 1000 watts max to 83 wrms real world everyday useable watts.... :wink:

just be aware of this.

--------------------------------------------------

FUSES

make sure you ALWAYS use a correctly rated inline waterproof fuse not more than 8 inchs away from the battery... if you dont, YOU RISK YOUR WHOLE CAR BEING BURNT TO THE GROUND

to work out how big the fuse should be, add up all the fuse ratings of your amps that will be feeding off that cable, the total value is the fuse you will want to use..

there is alot more to explain on current and fuses but im just trying to keep it simple for novices..

----------------------------------------

WIRING

make sure you use nice chunky wiring, if an amp is going to chuck out 1000wrms, it needs to pull current, if your battery and wiring cant supply the current, something is going to get damaged.. worst case scenario, the cable melts and sets fire to your car (see fuses section above) or your amp dies because the supply voltage dropped too low.

----------------------------------------

SPEAKERS

Again, look for RMS power ratings as this is a real world all day long figure, max power is what the speaker can handle for a brief second before it dies..

same applys, some manufacturers, usually the budget ones, err can give enthusiastic power ratings.. take with pinch of salt.

Also, whats the deal with as many 6x9s loaded into the parcel shelf as possible?? there is no need for this!

1st thing, where do you sit?? so why the hell have you got the speaker reproducing all the main frequencies of music about 3ft behind you??

I recommend you always ditch the 6x9s idea and invest in a good pair of front speakers.. This is the key to good sound reproduction. Even better, if you can, amp them up as well.. also try to use a Highpass filter set around 80hz, this stops the low bass frequincies over exurting them and killing them. below 80hz is what the sub is for ;)

-----------------------------------------------

SUBS

see speakers...

also, there is a little figure called One way linear XMAX, this baby tells you how far your actualy sub can move in one direction while still sounding good.

now on the good subs, not the ridiculously expensive ones, but ones from the reputable manufacturers, you can use it as a guide as to how much air a sub can shift..

did you know if a 10" sub has really high xmax it can actually go louder than a budget 15" sub with low xmax, and you will find all budget subs are low xmax design (usally around 6mm), hey the manufacturer has to make money some way, something has to be cost cut along the way..

also voice coil sizes are important because this can dictate how much power a sub can take... again, the budget manufacturers cut costs here..
do you really think that ?40 sub can take 1000wrms?? no chance ;)

Make sure u switch on the lowpass filter on the amp for subs and set it to around 60hz, this stops all the high frequencies getting thru to the sub which the sub was not designed to play and will affect sound quality..

----------------------------------

BOTTOM LINE

You get what you pay for, this applies to everything in life really, especially so with ICE.

there is more but im gettin tired, i will add more if people want me to?

Thanx

:)

at the end of the day, everyone is different and one person will want to use splx and another DD, RE, Pioneer, whatever.. this is cool, diversity is the spice of life, just please keep everything safe, see WIRING AND FUSES and also make sure that sub box is bolted down, otherwise in an accident it can turn into a 100kilogram head squisher.

Have fun!

p.s for good budget equipment, Pioneer make some good speakers. their TSW-305C subs are pretty cool for a good price. Mac Audio make some good budget amps and also speakers.. oops! forgot, JBL make some good budget gear also and Magnat as well.

:D

[TheWeenie]

You can work out the maximum power that your amp can supply as follows:

1) Find the fuse rating
2) Multiply this fuse rating by the maximum voltage that your car's charging system can cope with (say 14.4v tops)
3) That's the maximum output the amp can handle before the fuse blows.

So if you have a fuse with a rating of 30 amps, your amp is good for an absolute maximum of 432w.

Divide this by the number of channels you've got, and that's the absolute maximum you will ever be able to get from your amp.

30a fuse in a 2ch amp gives an absolute maximum of 216w. Divide this by 0.7 to get the RMS power of the channel, and you soon find that a "1000W MAX" amp is only really capable of outputting 2x150w.

[badnova]

thanks for this Onnie
helps alot

[Jack]

oops! forgot, JBL make some good budget gear also and Magnat as well.

i second that, my magnat amp is a great little piece of kit

[Jimmeh]

all i can say is
why do u bother spending so much money
on a car that isnt worth it?
U shud save up for a better car first.
Not many "novas" are worth spending hundred of pounds on in my opinnion!
But each to their own
Best of luck with ur sound systems.

BTW 4 subs is just being silly.....

Good luck guys
