For those of you out there with high end installs or just in the know.

I'm looking to do a new install in the motor but i'd like to go with a good spec sub. just the one sub for the time being and obviously an amp to power. Looking to spend around £250 for the sub

Any suggestions ?

Cheers

Was looking at the Kicker range.

Are the solabaric subs any good do you know?

JL audio w3's you can get them for a steal now as they have been replaced by new modles.

If you have £250 to spend on a sub, FT.com probably isnt your best port of call. If you want advice from people who have actually competed with and used subs of that and in excess of that value then I would personally recommend http://www.talkaudio.co.uk as it is the U.K.'s biggest online car audio forum.

True but 1 person cant have tried and tested as many as a whole community. And before you say they are biased towards CAD, they arnt affiliated with CAD anymore and whats more when I was looking at buying a sub 5/6 subs recommended werent even stocked by CAD

EDIT: BTW if you really do claim to know what you are on about, why did you not inquire as to what install this was for, surely you need to know whether the sub is for SQ, SPL or Streetbass as well as how much power they are going to be supplying

look at the subs i have selected...covers SQ, SPL and SQL

no point asking power as he has already said he wants a new amp to

and i dont claim to know more than CAD...just saying there are some people here who do know what they are talking about thats all...people like yourself, myself, mike and some others

Thank You for all your opinions

To be honest i'm well into my bass in a big way, the heavier the better!!

So it wont really be for entering any competitions or anything, just mainly for roof flexing and perforated ear drums!!!

Thought i'd bring this back up rather than starting a new post.

I got hold of 2 Alpine SWR 1241D Subs in the end, although i'm only going to use one for the time being.

I have an Alpine MRD M500 amp to run it from.

I need to make a box for it now, i know the spec's just need to know the external measurements for the box. I cant work it out!

dual 4-ohm, 2" voice coils frequency response 24-1,000 Hz
power range 100-300 watts RMS (150 watts RMS per coil)
peak power handling 1,000 watts
sensitivity 87 dB
top-mount depth 6-15/16"
sealed box volume: 0.7-1.0 cubic feet
ported box volume: 0.75-1.75 cubic feet

It will be going in a BMW E36 3 series.

I mainly listen to Hip Hop and Reggae.

Cheers in advance for any info.

I hate to be an arse but i hope you didnt pay more than £150 for those two subs (thats if you bought them online) as they are the older versions of the type r, the new ones handle 500rms, and I have seen two 12" new type r subs on sale in the back of car mags for £150 inc box.


Anyway, wether new or old versions I love the alpines myself and have two of the 15" versons in my car, they rock!

[enve19]

Nah i got both the subs the monoblock amp and all the wiring for 300

The amp is near that price on its own so it wasnt too bad to be honest!

[lucasdemoley]

Ah thats pretty good then! I just know that some shops try to sell the old stuff at the price of the new stuff.

[enve19]

Yeah i have noticed that in some places.

the 1241's going at the same prices as the 1242's

just trying to shift old stock i guess
