genesis ftw.....the shop doing the work on my door panels is going to pick up that line of amps.....awsome equipment

 

Id get zapco DC ref over JL amps.

 

zapco is definitely a step up or 2 above JL. JL is not anywhere near top of the line, they just seem to get picked on the most.

My 8" subs are being sent out today. Still have no idea what kind of enclosure I want. The design im leaning towards right now is 2 downfiring behind each from seat and forward porting just above the center console.

 

i lol'd at all of this
my amp was 278, 1200 watts rated, but on the dyno/birthsheet pushes more like 1.7k?
MTX, nice solid, cheap.

 

Seriously... Here in Texas I go to Bazaars for my audio. I got the memphis mojo 12s in my stratus and after I sell the stratus I plan on getting the memphis MadMax 15s.
Best thing about Bazaars is if you wave cash in thier face you can haggle pretty freakin' good. They tend to carry stuff that Best Buy or whatever won't - like memphis. I got 2 of the mojo 12s and a box for 750. I personally think they can perform well for SQ and SPL. The bass just doesn't hammer your ears if tuned right... It can sound really nice if your mids and highs are done right.

I bought 2 infinity 10s that could only handle like 1k TOPS or they'd blow... That costed me 600$. Memphis subs that people use in SPL and such sound WAY better, built better (rugged), and they're a FAR more better bang for your buck.

Go memphis!

If you have memphis - everyone will know!

 

Memphis NutHugger.


Stop reading broschures (sp) and listening to shop owners trying to sell you a memphis woofer and do your own research.

 

Oh in regards to my last post I forgot to add:
I use a kicker amp :P I used to run 4g wire to it, had a stock alternator, and a bad ground more than likely... But the kicker handled the crappy power very nicely. Very durable amp and put out clean bass to the memphis. 2500 watt zx version I think.

 

Hehe nuthugger. I'll hug the memphis nutz forever! Take the bang for the price and it knocks plenty of competitors to the ground.

 

I'll admit there good but they arent really the best bang for the buck out there.

Alpine Hype R blows it out of the water being only like 130 bucks and an easy ticket to the 140's. TommyK pulled a 152 iirc off 1 R and a ZX2500.1

 

I'm not trying to start anything. But in the most non offensive way... A 500 watt sub blows a 2000 watt sub out of the water? Those Alpines are 15"s though right? The QVC (crappy mojo 15 imo) hit like 158 pretty easy and I'm sure you won't be blowing the motor out on them as quick as you would running that Type are with a 2500 watt amp... I think.

I personally never had luck with Alpine head units so I wouldn't give thier subs a shot. 1 head unit wouldn't play CDs while it was cold and the other I used to remove the face every day when I'd park at school... The face begin getting graphic problems. I use JVC now for head units.
