Looking for Sub advice #1246113 04/14/05 07:24 AM

I'm thinking of going to a single sub, cause I'm tired of loosing half my trunk space to an enclosure. I used to have two 12" Eclipse subs but I cooked them - showin off too much. I'm running a Rockford Fosgate Power T10001bd w/ a Boss CAP45C 3Farad Cap. I've thought about going with a JL 13w7, a Eclipse SW9152 or a RF T115D2. Anyone have some other suggestions, or have these? The local car place is lousy for advice to help someone make a decision like this - I'm not about to drop $600-$800 based on their crappy advice. Any one have suggestions for enclosures too?

You'll be able to design it to use as little trunk space as possible. 1999 Ford Contour SVT #900/2760 (SOLD) 2005 Mazda 6s 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege 1998 Ford Ranger 4x4

There's one that's about 11 mb that should give you a good idea of what this sub is capable of.

I wouldn't call Boss a great cap, but anyway.... You can get a Brahma for about $399 or $499 (much less than the W7) and get about the same performance. If you want to WOW your friends by saying "I have a W7 in my trunk" then go ahead and blow the extra $$. But visit the www.adireaudio.com website and look at the videos first. 1999 SE White AVH-P6500DVD Infinity Reference 6500CS Pioneer 5x7s Punch 360a2 Punch 500a2 Adire Tempest in a custom sealed 3.4cuft box Modded Xbox Still need Midnight Cloth Headrests... and if somebody has fold down rear seats....
