Fubar231 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I need a REAL 1000Watt + sub, no fake ass pioneers or whatever. Looking for a JLW7 12 or a Memphis sub. No alpines, kickers, theyve already been blown on my system. Do not need an included box, lmk what you have and we'll talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 You do realize that distortion is usually what kills a sub, not power. How shitty of an amp are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAOLE Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 You do realize that distortion is usually what kills a sub, not power. How shitty of an amp are you running? trooff I have seen a Punch 45 ( I am showing my age ) make a "1000w" amp look weak. Most of the time, you don't really need 1000w, you just need a good quality amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stolen 5.0 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 you just want the impedance to match, memphis and JL make good subs today. too bad kicker and RF sold out to shitty production. I may have a JLW7 left at the store. either a 12" or 13.5, not sure. brand new in the box what kind of amp do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubar231 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Right now im only running 1 kicker 750.1 class d monoblock at 2 ohms stable (i got 2 of the amps incase i ever wanna put another sub in the poopra craigslist FTW). I blew a CVR12 in 2 weeks, it was a joke. Alpine Type R lasted about a month, i had that before i got the CVR 12. Im sick of blowing subs, we hooked my boss's subs up to my sub (hes got 2 memphis 15's) and we turned my shit up loud as fuck shakin windows and shit and very little distortion. Im pretty sure its either the fact im running a single 12 on a monoblock (too much power?) or just shitty subs. I was looking into getting a Fi BTL (www.ficaraudio.com) dual voice coil of course. My boss used to have orions and he loved them but he got 2 memphis 15's off his buddy for cheap. MrBoost Im only looking for 1 sub because i have a hatch, and 700$ is a bit steep. Ive seen 2 JLW7's cheaper than that, guarntee there box wasn't as nice though, i saw your ad on craigslist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrb00st Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 if your blowing subs left and right. then u need to learn "Volume Control". Most ppl crank the gains on there amp and crank there cd player. thus, distorting the subs till it melts down. putting a 750wrms amp on a 400wrms sub is just asking for a blown sub unless gains are adjusted right. And i dont see how 700 is high? consider they sell brand new for 639.99 on crutchfeild? now dont get me wrong, u can pick them up on websites and ebay for cheaper, but u get ZERO warranty. and i've updated it to $600 cuz i need them gone.

Fubar231 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Boost its just a lot of money heh. And i know about volume control and gains im not a retard. These fake ass subs just cant handle real power thats it. Anyways id buy one of the 10's off you for like 200$ or somethin, no box 1 10. Don't need all that in my car... Dont think it'll even fit...

Mrb00st Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 200. um. yea. i wish i paid that for them from JL.. just my 2 cents, but i've been doing MECA spl comps for a long time, and ALOT of ppl run kicker subs (not just the L7's.. they also run CompVR's). so, IMO you dont know volume controll. i have been a installer for 10 years and seen it countless time. Kids who dont understand the concept of "Over Powering a Woofer". I am willing to bet that u have never correctly set the gains on your amp. If you would like to be Currectly Educated on how this is done, here is a very nice post. How to adjust amp gains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Man im not retarded i know what im doin, not as much as you but you wouldnt think a 750.1 would overpower a CVR 12 w/ the gain all the way down and x-over at 50hz. Headunit was on -5 bass and the bass boost on the amp was like 1/5 of the way up. Fuck if i know, but yeah if you sellin the box and 2 subs for 600, and its all used, i think 200 is fair but thats just me. I can keep lookin its all good. Anyone heard anything about fi car audio? I was lookin at a BTL 12. EDIT: Throwin this out there, my CVR 12 was in a 1.75 cu ft. ported box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrb00st Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 not really sure, as long as the amp it tuned for the sub, there shouldnt be a problem. The JL's i'm selling, arent used, there brand new. i took them out of the box, and installed them in the custom box. they've never even been hooked to a amp. Fi is a great company, the designer used to work for Re Audio. He left there and started Fi Audio. But a 750wrms amp isnt enough to push a BTL. Personly, i would look into something that has higher watt handling then the cvr but not as much overkill as a BTL. Look into a Kicker L7, JL w6 or W7, Mtx 7500(or higher), Re Audio SX, TC sounds, Audio Pusle, fi audio. Another big thing that u have to remember is playing 2 subs on a 750wrms amp, will give you 375wrms per sub. Reguardless how many sub hook-ups it has.

Fubar231 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yeah i was worried about underpowering. I wondered why my sub blew too, its weird. Who knows, and sorry i didnt know the 10's were brand new. Thought it was all used. Could you possibly sell just 1? I know its hard to gt rid of just one sub though... 600$ is out of my pricerange though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 The speakers you are messing with are in the wrong class. The 750 is a solid amp. If you do not want to spend alot the power acoustic mofo is a great sub for the price. If you want something that is mediium range look into diamond audio. The mojo memphis are great too. I am speaking from personal experience 13+ years. I have never liked JL. Call me crazy. W3, W6, W whatever never liked them. I always found something better and more durable. Is this the ZX750 by kicker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrb00st Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 they have to be sold as a pair. the best way to find subs, is pick a price range, then u can narrow down what u want. around 300 can get u a really nice set of 12's. One thing u have to look at is ... new? or used? pay a lil more to get something brand-new thats never been abused and get a warranty incase u blow them. or go cheap, no warranty, and having noway to tell that someone has beat the shit out of the subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackC50 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 any sub that is getting 350 extra thrown on it is gonna take a shit. That has nothing to do with what type of sub they are. Everyone recommends not to run their peak for that very reason. Get a sub that can handle 750rms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 So i was talkin to my boss at work today, he used to do db drag racing and crap, and he told me the best sub i probably could find for my car would be a JL 8W6. Hes got a picture of his truck hitting 162.2 dbs w/ 3 8W6's so.... Small, hit hard, not too great at reproducing low notes though since its a 8. I want something betwen 12-15" cause the cars a hatch... Boost id prefer to buy new subs, but stores are just ridicolous when it comes to how much they want for just 1 12 and nothing else. If you dont want install bla bla a amp etc they try to fuck you. EDIT: Talked to my boss, he hit 162.2 on 16 10's. Ill ask him what he hit w/ the 3 8's tomorrow.

Mrb00st Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 lol well im a JL dealer, and if u need something i will get you the best price u can find. and not true FastBlackStang, i have 2 12" JL Audio W1 on a 500/1. Subs are rated at 150wrms. and i have been beating the block down with them for over 6 months. it all goes back to what i said before, setting up your amp CORRECTLY 162db on 3 w6 8"s.. wow. i dont belive that for a second. maybe in a "Port War" but never in glass/front seat metered. the state record holder in M4 has 2 12"s in a crx and only does 152's.
