.................

**wes_v8** · 19-09-2006, 08:33 PM

k yea thought it would be, there not even that old, he just bought some duel voice cone 1200W JBL's i think thats what they are,

**R Photon** · 20-09-2006, 01:19 AM

120 for 2 subs sounds like a pretty sweet deal dude

**wes_v8** · 20-09-2006, 08:35 AM

yea and how was these sound on a mono block?

**jds303** · 20-09-2006, 10:11 PM

for the money, that is a very good deal.
these woofers are great value for money new, and 2 for 120 is great, considering they are in good nick.
i used to have one of these myself, and was impressed with the performance for the price.
these will run fine off a monoblock so long as the power and load ratings are suitable.

**wes_v8** · 21-09-2006, 08:26 AM

yea well still thinkin about gettin them, they are in good nick only about 4 mths old

**StoneX** · 21-09-2006, 09:41 AM

They retailed for $199 each... But when they were being phased out they could be had for around $100-120 each, so $120 for 2 is a good price. I know a few people with two of those subs and they're more than happy with the output from them.

Hmmmm they look ok but i just have a thing against pioneer subs. Had one before and it sounded like someone hitting a cardboard box with a mallet. This may be a better one though

**StoneX** · 21-09-2006, 01:42 PM

Did you have it mounted in a cardboard box?

**redcv6** · 21-09-2006, 02:12 PM

mate i just got rid of 1 10" version of that sub, now if im correct the Pic you are showing is also a 10". These Subs hammer, just makesure that ur mate hasn't been thrashing them, and if he hasn't i highly recommend you buy them

**StoneX** · 21-09-2006, 03:57 PM

The pic he is showing is the 12" version. 305 refers to 30cm which is about 12". The 10" was a 255.

did u have some sorta stuffing (not sure exactly wat its called.... fluffy stuff hahaha) inside ur sub box??? 2 break up the sound rebounding just off the walls of the box?? could b y it sounded like cardboard lol

**jds303** · 21-09-2006, 09:09 PM

that stuffing is used to trick the enclosure into thinking it is larger than it actually is. essentially, it adds volume to the box. im not sure if it would affect the sound of the woofer in a negative manner.

**StoneX** · 21-09-2006, 11:43 PM

If you listen to a sub with and without the "dacron", you won't hear a difference. I've added it to heaps of boxes and they sound the same afterwards.

Dacron is the white fluffy stuff.

**wrx884** · 22-09-2006, 12:25 AM

true well wen i didnt use it my sub kinda sounded....... hollow if thats the word but since i used it the bass sounds more crisp (basey) and clear? mayb its was just mine hahaha who knows.....

**wes_v8** · 22-09-2006, 07:53 AM

Could be the wax in your ears,this could be detrimental to the sound of your sub,cotton buds could be the answer.

u do that mate

**Tasmaniak** · 24-09-2006, 10:10 AM

If you can hear a difference with and without Dacron thn the box wasn't built properly or to the corecct size. Henceforth...your sub could sound a lot better.

**wrx884** · 24-09-2006, 05:52 PM

no worries point taken tho box was built 2 the specs of the pioneer sub so i dunno how else u coulda built the box ne better i used 16mm MDF used epoxy resin and screwed (pre drilled) then sealed each join up with silicon i am a cabby myself and if u have a better way 2 make the box better ur help would b considered and taken in 4 future references??? box isnt ported either its just a standard box
