Need suggestions

Ok i was already on here asking for help on choosing a nice hard hitting system and ive pretty much decided on the REXXX-18" with either a 1500.1 ppi or a 2000.1 hifonics amp in a monster enclosure between 5-7cuft. But i need some suggestions on some low cost great sounding subs for some driving bass(dont want to drive around pounding my brains to shit all the time). I know its almost forbidden to use 2 different sizes for subs but i was looking at either a single 10 or dual 8 setup down firing in a custom center console. I would use the smaller sub for when im just cruising my girl hates it when i drive with the bass up so i figure i could use a small sub for some good sq and when the punk with 4 audibahns pulls up next to me i can kick off the small sub and kick on the monster. By the way how are the soundstream tarantula 15"s my little bro wants a system from hell and that was the first thing i found for a decent price on ebay(he wanted some volfenhags). Any suggestions would be great.

Re: Need suggestions

why can't you just turn down the XXX? Just because you have something capable of crazy output that doesn't mean you always have to use it.

Re: Need suggestions

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo volfenhags!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and im a big fan of ppi. i dont know much about hifonics but i guarantee you will not be disappointed with the precision power. i have a PCX 2400. (love it) how many watts will the 18 take cuz the pcx 2400 from ppi puts out 1600 rms bridged at 4 ohm.

Re: Need suggestions

True and im almost 100% sure that both amps have the remote bass link. But i wasnt going to use that and just leave it alone once i tuned it i will most likely use the remote link and turn it down but i hated messing with it on my old system CA 1200 with 2-12 kappa perfects wasnt the best but it sounded real nice.

Re: Need suggestions

Re: Need suggestions

Re: Need suggestions

Yeah i expect it to stomp on pretty much 90 percent of the systems around here. I need suggestions on a 2000+ watt amp for a good price and i need some suggestions on box size a tuning i wasnt going to make it much bigger than 7 cuft its like a 18"x42"x28" so i have some space but i need some room for the amps and shit. I was also looking for a decent 8 or 10 inch sub that would put out some nice bass for when im just driving around.

Dude, it's called a sub-out (aka subwoofer pre-out on your HU). All you do is turn the sub-out, the subwoofer level on the HU down. There ya go...A LOT less bass.

PS: And the sub-out IS NOT the "bass" on the HU...

Re: Need suggestions

I forgot completely about that ive been using a shitty alpine unit when i wrecked my other car my good cd player got fucked up and i completely forgot about that. Yeah i know its not the bass on the hu. Ok now that ng reminded me of that feature i need some suggestions on good amp brands with good prices that have an output of 2000+ watts.

You only need 1500 REAL rms...

Look into:
MTX 1501d (modded)
Soundstream VGA 1600.2
Hifonics bx2200d
ummm...other shit that does 1600rms...
