What SUB and AMP

[garfa]

hang on you aare wanting spend close to 600 on the 1500w jaycar amp on a budget of 800!?
400W wired down to 2 or 1 ohm would be a better choice.

I bought 2 JL 12WO (12") subs, cost me $340 for the pair, and a JL e2150 amp for $350. The subs are rated low (125wrms each), and so is the amp (40x2 wrms), but overall it cranks hard as f**k!!

JL Audio are bloody fantastic, I would definetely recommend them to anyone!!

I haven't had my stezza tested or anythin, but it's set of car alarms b4, and when I go passed Repco my bro (he works there) rekons it shakes the wall so much that everything on it is vibrating HAHA!!

And the best bit of all.....it shits all over a lot of stereo's which costed a lot more then mine

About the box, well I paid about $30 for some MDF, about another $15-$20 to get it all precut, then I chucked it 2gether myself. I made it to the subs specs to, which is a downside when u buy boxes already made.

The gear I bought was bottom of the range stuff, but it cranks hard. JL don't make the 12WO's anymore, they have replaced it with another model...they're now white....but I doubt the price would be much more then the 12WO's.

i have a feeling that your stereo is good more because you set up the box right for the sub than becasue your gear is good.

Nah, if i get the resoponse 1500W amp its safe to say im gonna be spending alot more than 800 bux...lol

I was also looking at fiberglass enclosures...
there is a place in sydney that do a really nice one for twin 12" subs for 170 bux plus postage...

Early days atm though still...

Laters

hmm, that sounds like a pretty decent price, as long as the quality is good. Do they make them up to suit your needs or do you just get one size?

 

[Jesterarts]

Just the one size but i think you can contact them and get one made up to suit a custom install...
Here's the ebay link anyway

hehe lovingly handcrafted in Australia....

Looks decent though. Extra $120 for paint...pffffft

Get it made up to the correct specifications, its worth the extra money and it will make a massive difference to the quality of the bass and the sound of your subs.

I want two subs for bass n looks...
Having 2 subs only adds an extra 3db to the sound u get... But looks tough..

It's tougher when you have one good sub that flogs everyone's twin sub setups

definately make the enclosure yourself, mdf and carpeted or even fibreglassing.

Fibreglassing can take a lil longer, but its a pretty simple process really. The cost of materials for that custom enclosure would be around $60-70, and there are plenty of tutorials around to show you how to do it..
