What are some good subwoofers that would pound or that you could hear from 5 houses away?

Question

how much rms or what subwoofer???

Answer 1

You can hear my two 10's that get 200RMS each five houses away.

Im glad to see you only state RMS because peak and max mean NOTHING.

For great bass, loud and clean, two 12's are the way to go.

15's are just too slow and 10's don't do the job. Not for me at least.

I would go with two 12" Alpine Type-R's. They are fairly cheap maybe 200$ a peice and are 500RMS each with DVC coils, 2 or 4-ohm. If you put them in the right sized ported box, with a good amount of power, you will be heard. Even 300RMS per woofer would be fine. There are two amps that put out 1000RMS at 2-ohm from Alpine and One that is 600RMS @2-ohm.

Even one of these subs would be loud getting a full 500RMS is the proper box. Alpine does make an amp or two at 500RMS which would be a perfect match.

Look into the type-r's they sound nice and don't break the bank!

Answer 2

I'm not giving you any information because then you'd annoy me while driving past my house.

Also, there's no right answer to your question.  It's not based on the subwoofer.  There's a lot more to it than that.  A sub with a higher power rating will typically get louder.  A ported box will emphasize certain frequencies which will make them louder.  The amount of power you give the sub will affect the loudness.  The type of vehicle that it's in.  All of these things play into how loud it is (especially from the outside of the car).  

Regardless, if anyone can hear you from 5 houses away, then you're just obnoxious.

Answer 9

i had two memphis power reference 12's. they are not any where close to top of the line memphis subs. but i stuck them in a ported box with an 1800 watt kenwood amp (everyone knows that kenwood amps dont push as much as they are rated at). they hammered, it would hit so hard that my friends wouldn't sit in my truck with it turned up. it wasn't distorting either, so if you want to get a low budget system that hits hard check out memphis power reference subs
