good, slim sub

[bboystyles]

hey guys


im just curious to know wat r the best sounding 12" sub that comes in either a slim line box or a relitivly small one. coz i herd that those pioneer ones are **** but ive seen sum kicker 12" in a smallish box but dunno how good itll be.

why do you need a shallow mount sub?

[bboystyles]

coz im gonna get a sedan and i will need the boot to put tools nd such in but i also cant live without a sub

Have you thought about those tube subs made by blaupunkt?

[1991_Vn2nV]

Soundstream have a 'Stealth' style sub, currently available in 10" and 12" I believe. They have a 13" one coming out this month or next month. Its only 200wrms so its not massively powerful or anything, but its only 2" deep and only needs a 1/2 cubic foot sized enclosure I believe.

most subs will fit into a 6inch deep of less enclosure, its the volume you need to worry about.

no point in having a 2inch deep sub, if it needs a 2cuft box...

your best bet would be to make a fibreglass box that fits to one side of the boot, right up against the panels.

There's a guy on eBay I think does those fibreglass custom looks.

But if you are game to do it yourself then it'll save you.

yer i wanted a good sub up around the 500+ RMS range, nd yer im pretty sure boxes for them arent small.

as for the blaupunkt subs, i kinda want sumthing that will last longer than a few months herd they were **** as.

soundsteam subs all the way,you will never go back.......

[bboystyles]

yeh i was looking at them aye, but the boxes would be huge for such a powerful sub?

higher power subs often require a smaller box, but will only be as loud as a lower powered sub, in a larger box.

[bboystyles]

oh really, i never knew that. but if u had a powerful sub in a big box it wuld obviously sound better

the power doesn't determine the size of the box, but a woofer that suits a small box will be less efficient, and therefore need more power to get just as loud.

what box dimensions can you actually fit?

[bboystyles]

do u mean wats the max size box i can fit?

i dont have the car yet. im just doing research so wen i do get it ill jave a better idea of wat u can get.

so, you're really just wasting our time...

nice..

[TA 91 WA]

Blaupunkt make slimline subs.

I don't know who else does though.

[bboystyles]

how am i wasting ur time? im asking a question. roughly the biggest i wuld like is 1000(wide)x300(high)x300mm(deep)

higher power subs often require a smaller box, but will only be as loud as a lower powered sub, in a larger box.

Subs have optimal box sizes. Its not just a matter of the bigger the box the better it will sound.

To the OP, there are plenty of 500wrms+ subs out there that have an optimal box size of 1cubic feet to 1.5 cubic feet which is quite reasonable.

nowhere in my post did I say that a bigger box will sound better.

you're posting in this thread, so obviously you've got time to waste. you dont have to have a go at someone in nearly every thread you post in.

[BANKS]

MTX do a slimline sub, so does pioneer...

[1991_Vn2nV]

nowhere in my post did I say that a bigger box will sound better.

But you did imply that a larger box would make it sound louder.

oh excuse him for wasting your precious time. why else would you be on a forum if you dont have time to waste? noones forcing you to be here

[bboystyles]

anyways.. i mite jus make a custom box that goes hard up agenst the back of the seats, full width of the boot nd how ever deep i want. cheers for the info guys.

how does the MTX sound?

[TWOJZ]

But you did imply that a larger box would make it sound louder.

no, I didn't.

you seem to be lacking in comprehensions...

and bigger boxes are more efficient anyway!!
