I was wondering if anyone could tell me what subwoofer I should get that is durable and hits hard but won't empty my wallet. I had a nice system set up but my subwoofer went bad. I have a 700W amp and a 12in. bass reflex box. I would like to stay with a 12in. subwoofer. Also I'm looking at replacing the 6x8 factory door speakers that have a nice loud sound but aren't too expensive. If anyone has any suggestions, please tell me. Thanks.

 

Check into Cadence Subs. I personally go with JLs, but for the purpose of answering your question, the Cadence Subs, for the money are damn good. I have two friends that have them and love them. I like the Polks for your doors.

 

700 watts RMS or Max? If its 700 max, then what is the RMS? And at what ohm?

 

It's 700 watts RMS and I can run it at 2 or 4 ohms.

Thanks Big Dave for the advice. I took a look at some on the internet and they look like good subs. Do you know how durable they are? I'm tired of spending money on subs that blow out in a couple months.

 

BigRed, I have some Pioneer TS-D680R's in all 4 doors that absolutely rock. Kevlar cones, rated to handle 250 watts each. With an amp to these speakers, you can get by without a sub.

 

i personaly am partial to kicker cvr's or L7's
best sound and hard hitting with decent mounting depth.....

door speakers:
i like the pheonix golds that i have because they shound good and were mid-range priced.
other than that rainbows sound amazing for a price.

I'm partial to rockfords for subs and MB Quart for mids they both can be a little on the higher price sied but I think they are woth it

 

Any mounting depth requirements, and price?

 

I have been looking at the pheonix golds and I think that's what I'm getting for the doors.

As far as the sub goes, mounting depth is not a problem. I took out part of my rear seat so I could put a big box back there. For price, I would like to stay around $100, or $150 at the most. I just bought a bunch of stuff for my truck and I'm nearly broke.

 

Go with diamond audio products they are outstanding. I have used JL, punch, pioneer, cadence, alpine, and kenwood. I believe Diamond audio outperforms them all. They are however more expensive than pioneer, kenwood, and punch...For the price, pioneer products are good though.

 

700 watts for 100-150...ummmm...you can get Diamond Audio D6's new on ebay for about 150... RE SE possibly, Kicker L7, I cant believe Im saying this, but, Type R....

A few options.

 

Thanks guys for all the suggestions.

I'm not too sure if I want to order my speakers off of eBay because I have no way of knowing what kind of condition they are in. I would hate to buy something and then find out that it is blown. Has anyone else ordered their speakers/subwoofers off eBay?

 

If you use your head on ebay you shouldnt have a problem. Get them new, from an Ebay store that has a lot of possitive feedback, and you should be just fine.
