Hey guys i want to save up some room on my my Tc so im selling my 2 12" and getting a single sub setup. I haven't gotten the box but planning on a sealed box. I have a nine.2 amp rated at 400W x 1 @ 4 Ohm @12.5v. I was looking for a sub more on the SQ side. I listen to variety of music from hip hop, rap, reggetton to alternative. I was looking for a sub under 200 dollars. I was thinking on for either Alpine type R, IDQ, JL w3 simply because of what i have read on other post. I havent heard any of them in person and was hopping for some input to get a good sub. I have stock speaker with an additional set of tweeters. Thanks

 

My personal choice would be a JL w6 10" they can get load as hell but are always crisp and clean and can keep up with the fastest beats

 

i wish i could get at least a 10" but they run at 250 and on... My budget is 200 im thinking on an alpine type r on a .7 cubic feet sealed box, but open for suggestions...

 

Dude wait a couple weeks save that extra 50 bucks and get the w6 you honestly won't regret it, type-r's hit hard but they can't hand the drum beats from bands like slipknot, mudvayne etc

 

i like my eD 11v (or something like that). but then again i switched out the front speakers too

 

I like my type r's, but I haven't listened to the w6's.

 

Check into Image Dynamics......they are clean and hit hard,may be over your budget for IDQs,haven't check prices lately,I know mine are sweet sounding in a sealed box and work great for metal and hiphop.

 

13ov.2 ...D4 will give you 1 ohm going into the amp ....same setup is have ( although i have it going to a nine.2x) its my favorite 1 sub / amp combo i ever had

 

I used to be the same way then I started working in car audio so I got exposed to more and more speakers and subs. I used to LOVE alpine type-r's then I heard waht a w6 could do among others and I lost the love for them

 

yup until someone shows me otherwise i'm rolling eD from here on out.

 

eD makes some great products.........my NINe.5 is only rated at like 400wat 2 ohms........I bench tested it and at 2 ohms I get 620w and still have soem gain to go,but it starts to clip at 620w......so I set my subs at 600w and it freaken cranks.

I am also pushing 115 to each comp the eD 6000s and they will take a lot more too,but it is so loud it is not in balance with the subs,so I run them at that..........good products.......

The only thing I did not like from them is the SQ10.......it was not loud enough for me,then I sold it and the guy blew it up in like 2 weeks,and neither of us can figure out how cause his amp only was pushing 250 w and it was tuned for clean signal too.........

I wanna try out their think they are 6 or 7 inch subs in the back for midbass,just trying to find a way to make a sealed box for them inside the panel......since I got 2 free chanels I am not using with about 125w each doing nothing......lol

 

Here's a GREAT sub for under $140;
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=295-466
Dayton RSS315HO-4 12" Reference HO Subwoofer 4 Ohm

Only needs 0.6' sealed and will work VERY well with the 400w your amp has.
It's a definite SQ sub, very low distortion design, which can still get loud.
