Alrighty....

Now that I've pretty much decided to sell my RF to the first sucker that will buy it, I'm looking at subs made by companies on the highly recommended list on ebay in the $120 price range. I think for now I'm going to stick with my amp for now, even though it's not as good other stuff out there. It seemed to provide enough power to the RF, and didn't even get warm.


So far I've found this SOUNDSTREAM Edge II EG-15X:


(the pic's also a link to their website)

I'm hoping it will be more sound quality oriented, like the RE SE. I found a RE SX for like $200+, but those are the lower end SPL subs, right?

I was also considering Xtant, like something from the A series, that's round and will fit in my flush mounted box. Any other sites or people I can get a SQ 15" sub from for around $120 shipped?

well..

#1 soundstream isn't even on the highly recommended list, and

#2 i think they're on the good list for amps not subs or anything else (since they are famous for making amps) but since pa bought them out their amps are crappier now

#3 are u going for pure sq? or u want an spl driver? or u want something that sounds good and gets loud also?

#4 how much power does your amp make? please state the rms, and at what impedance

1- Oh right, I was thinking sound splinter.

2- I didn't really find any amps from them on ebay, so I guess they're out.

3- I would say 75% SQ and 25% SQL. I like to run with it so I can feel the bass through my seat a little, but no so much my insides and head hurt.

4- It claims 200 watts rms per channel @ 4 ohms, and like 350 watts @ 2 ohms. Bridged it does 1000 watts rms @ 4 ohms and a little less at 8 ohms.


So do any decent SQ subs even exist for around $120?

Yeah, not too sure on the Soundstream subs. Their amps were the things to get years ago but I haven't really seen much about it lately.

So I found an old post somewhere that said RE SE 15's are $185 shipped? I'm almost willing to do that. Would it work in my box (~3.25 cubes sealed)? I can't remember the conversion from liters to cubic feet. The Vas is the spec that determines box size, right? They say 209 (liters, I think) for the SE 15. Are there any dealers online or do I have to call direct?

I remember someone explained what all the different specs indicated, but I don't remember where. If someone could go through them catagorically, I'll format all of it and add them to the newbie thread for all to see with your name in big bold letters .

Here's the SE's tech sheet with most of the standard things:

if ur lucky, you do not live near a RE dealer, then u can get it direct, if you buy from a dealer, the prices are rediculous

unfortunately for me, i live 40 min away from a dealer, and the subs prices are very high non-direct, re said they can't sell direct to me and referred me to that stupid dealer

I hope they don't have any dealers in New England then... I'll try sending them an email and see what they say. Their website seems to be outdated...

Oh, so it's like Volume of Airspace complementing the Suspension. My offer is still good if you want to be featured in the newbie thread for the other spec things...

OK, I'll just make one up then... and put my name in ...

Why I was asking was this: You guys know all this stuff off the top of your head, so I thought I'd divide and conquer... you write the matterial, and I'll format it. But whatever, I'll probably learn more this way anyway
