12" all rounder ;)

[BlackBravo]

I`m trying to find a 12" sub thats average at most types of music, I`ve got a 300 watt amp, but might need a new one, anyone know of a good one, or any where doin a decent package, without the box as i`ve just made one to fit my boot,
Cheers Pete.

The Infinity Kappa Perfect 12inch Subs are very good for the money at around 170. If i were you i'd go for a JL 12W3 at 180 as it responds very well to 300W rms and will take 500W rms if you want it to. I cant think of a sub with more linear cone travel for less than 200. Problem is they dont look all that 'blingin'.

I am assuming you have a fairly modest budget of course.

Also I forgot to say if you want all round good sound with any music then you need to make sure the sub is in a sealed box.

i have a pioneer w304c which i managed to get for £40, i tried it in a large ported box and it just didnt work, now have it in a smaller sealed box and it's very impressive in my opinion. I have it running off a kenwood kac-7201 800w amp with the l.p.f. at quite a low frequency, keep meaning to try it with that opened up a bit!

 

[BlackBravo]

Very modest budget,
i`ve just finshed sealing my box, i`m now gonna find some UV lights to put in it, and make the end piece from some perspex or polyglass,
also tempted to buy a new amp too, But 150 quid is about the most i could spare,
Cheers for you help,

thats Ok dude i would go for a 12in Kicker Comp VR then...think they cost 100 - 110 which leaves you some change. It should cope with your amp power Ok.

Cheers Geeze!

Try this link:

http://www.mcs-direct.co.uk/acatalog/MCS_DIRECT_Subwoofers_54.html

scroll down its the CVR122 and CVR124 (different impedance) models that you should go for. They are 115 though but well worth it Imo and you can always check out other places.

Good luck Bro!

mmm, tempted by a 15 inch now, but i like my fast beats so i`ll stick with a 12, cheers for all the help i`ll start shoppin soon.

Oh and also check this:

http://www.mcs-direct.co.uk/acatalog/MB_Quart_Subs.html

check the 2nd sub down (model DWE 254) thats possibly an even better bet than the Kicker. Either way they are my two only recommendations and i'm confident you'll buzz off either!

Cheers

DO NOT TOUCH the kickers, they are ****! Really, they are!

Infinity Kappa 12.1 is a nice driver.

Also the a/d/s R12
