Which Subwoofer do u pick??

Question

how would you'll arrange the list's (you can even add a brand/model if i didnt put it) talking about 12" subs.believe me, this is going to help alot of people who ask question's like this

*price isnt a factor because you get what you pay for

*Daily Driver (be thumping it every day)

*Beat Down the block

*Be heard before your seen (King Kong in the trunk)

Basically want the best because who doesnt...

ok there is Three category's...Sound Quality(SQ)...Sound Pressure Level (SPL)...Overall Best Subwoofer..

Subwoofer brands:

Orion HCCA

Kicker SoloX

JL W7

MTX 9500 series

RE x*x

Digital Designs 9512 or 9912

Answer 1

SQ:

1. W7

2. RE x*x

3. DD

Other than that I haven't heard the rest and i guarantee the rest of these guys haven't. They are just simply going by what they think they like better.

SPL:

1.  RE x*x

2. SOLO X KICKER

The x*x will roast a W7 and a SOLO X anyday the next closest sub id say would be an Fi BTL other than that the x*x slays.

Best overall out of these..

Easily the RE audio x*x.

Resonant engineering is not very common but a premier brand and there subs are insane. I heard a single 12" RE MX and it kicked the c**p out of a 12" W7 no word of a lie.

The JL W7 is just what everyone thinks is the best. JL is overpriced but they make a d**n good woofer.

RE is expensive but trust me, it will cook any of those subs with ease.

If you don't want to spend the money, go with a BTL they are cheaper. If your getting an 18 BTL, well you won't hear them highs but the lows will be felt immensly. The x*x will be better overall but with a cost of more money.

Good luck.

Answer 2

P3s? own type Rs? i hope you are talking about playstations threes or something other than Rockford Fosgates....Alpine is better than almost all of those brands in almost every aspect with a few exceptions from JL audio...pioneer premier is simply junk...kicker kicks but the sound quality is trash.....MTX 9500 is all about bass but they forgot about the part where its supposed to sound good too......i cant say anything about orion except that they have some really expensive stuff and ive never heard anything that good about them....and digital designs make subs that can compare to alpine type rs and blow rockford p3s out of the water and are cheaper too......

Best Overall

1.Alpine Type R and Type X

2.JL Audio W6 and W7

3.Digital Designs 9912

these woofers all have there strong points but the really stand out woofers r the x*x, dd, btl, and w7 in my opinion ....the w7 however is overpriced like no other...the x*x is very expensive but does deliver ...the dds have some of the best costomer service of any brand ...they will customize the woofer to ur exact description and the will change the size of the woofer whenever u want it...for example if have a suv and have a dd 9515 in it and u later buy a coupe they will change the cone and basket of ur woofer and send u back a 10 or a 12...they btls r very cheap for the way they perform... they can take up to 4000watts daily and win the competition everytime...fi customizes ur woofer the way u want it but i have never been able to actually talk to a person from the company ...dd on the other have takes calls all the time and u can talk to the experts about the direction u should go in when deciding how to build ur system...dd is like a fraternity bec u will have lfetime connections whenit comes to there products and since they r a smaller company they care if one person need help...u probably already know the orions and soloxs r only good for pure spl...the 9500s not bad but they r nothing compared to the rest of this group ..and the premier is a record holder but i dont care for them for some reason ...to add to the list of woofers to check out i hve been looking at mmats stuff...their amps handle business like world champions and there woofers r state of the art...the subs i was focusing on were the juggernaut series bec dd used to be affiliated with them and i have never heard a bad thing about mmats .......i recently went to a competition(a small local competition but a competition non the less) and i placed 4th in my category ....2 of the 3 people who beat me were using mmats and loved them to death(this is another reason  i looked into them)...so if ur lookin to compete almost any othe the monsters on the list will get u somewhere good.....i know this might be the longest answer ever but enjoy

Answer 4

First off, i dont think P2's should really be even on the same page as these subs.  I do admire the credit given to RF tho.

I must say that the RF T2's beat all the subs on that list, at least in overall best sub.  

solo x is inaccurate

jl costs $3 million per sub

x*x is just dirty

DD has no class

orion is a constellation

Mtx should just make more 22" jackhammers and forget 12"s

......seeing as how all these accusations are completely stupid, dont take any of them seriously, just realize that if you do have the money to buy one or more of these, ur gonna be bumpin shiit regardless of which one you buy.  T2's are the best tho.  O yea, P3's own type R's, just to let everybody know.
