Square Sub Shootout

I've heard the crappy Lanzar Max DVC square sub...my cousin (girl who knows nothing about car audio) had one...I set it up for her...got it to sound halfway decent.

Why do you wanna go square??? There isn't a big difference between square and round speakers...besides the fact that circle speakers are capable of higher excursions.

If you do want to go square I'd suggest Kicker...tried and true...Plus they just plain look a whole lot better and sound better than other squares...my opinion

 

Whats wrong with kicker. i have a L7 12 inch and it hits like crazy and sounds good doing it. Are you saying you dont want it because its a popular brand?? Buy what you want to buy because YOU want it.

 

personally, the only Quality woofers out there that are square are Kickers. They seem to have the idea down pretty good. I really dont know of any other brand out there that would even approch the level of quality that kicker puts into them. Not that kicker is the grreatest thing in the world, but they do a fine job. I would have to say stick with those who know..... the other brands out there seem to be nothing more than el' cheapos.

 

Well...You can stand out from the rest by making your setup fully custom...go crazy.

Build yourself a bigass sick box while everyone else has the cheap piece of crap prefab boxes...It's always a gaurantee that a custom box built to the woofer will sound better...so go for it

 

So basically your buying subs to impress others?? unless ist a show car and on display all the time who cares. Only you because you are paying for them.
Buy the kickers and you can build a plexiglass ported box and put some back lighting or mirrors or whatever. The kickers sound great, I know because I actually own one of their subs. I listen to it every day and listen to all kinds of music, Rock, hip hop, jazz, classical and it performs well with all music. Its certainly not the best sub out there,im not saying that, but if your interested in square subs do go with the kickers, and who cares what everyone else thinks, buy them because you want them.

 

I just gotta say I love my Kicker L5 12". It hits hard and clean. I've got plans of getting another one and then get a custom box made for them. I just hope my amps don't get to hot when I put them in the trays that are on the box. Oh well...it'll be awhile before this happens anyways. I would say definately go with Kicker if you want a square sub. Supposedly Kicker copy righted the square sub so no other can make them. I think it was on their site that said that. I dunno, you could always get the Solo-X if you want a real thumper square.

 

Ok, I get what your saying. Hopefully you can find a good quality one that'll show your friend up. Though I don't know how likely that would be. Good luck with your quest to find another square sub with good quality. Sorry I couldn't be of help.

 

why sq. subs???????

Instead of stomping ass with something similiar, go a different route!!!!!

Use some 6 inch woofers in a bandpass box that rips your face off!!!!

Maybe make a box with nothing but 4 inch woofers, about 36 of them, arranged in a square fashion!!!!!

Get creative!!! Dont join the club!!!!!!!!! do something diffeent

 

Or get like 6 of these...

Or 4 in a nice ported box...or hell build a wicked one enclosure for a couple of these 8 inch subs...will also rip your face off

Check out the wicked one on www.decware.com

 

I sis a system years ago that had 8) 8 inch orion xtr's in the back of a full size blazer, all run off a 225 HCCA. they were in a large vented enclosure, actually 4 sperate ones, anyway, the damn thing was phenomanol in its ouput and low frequency extension.

 

i knew a kid in high school back in 87.he had 4 mtx blue thunder 8s in the back of a 86 supra with a ppi amp in 1 ohm mono.900 watts i think.it was this small wedge shape box in the very rear of the hatch.and man oh man it was loud.i remember one night he embaressed the hell out of the schools quarter back in a local parking lot.he just got an all orion set up and was showing off his system when out of nowhere my friend pulls in.his system just drowning out this guys system.he had 2 12s in a box takeing up the whole rear or his iroc camero.zero rear storage left. i think he was crying when he left.the next week he had a whole new set up.man was that the funniest thing i ever saw.................wait what are we talking about again.LOL

 

Well with around 380 watts rms...find something with a decent xmax and good sensitivity

 

i think everyone has already told you if your gonna get a square get a kicker. i think your waiting for someone to mention one of those other brand you were talking about couse YOU really want it. you want it buy it! but i say the same thing solo baric l5 or l7

 

The keyboard you are using to type on includes things called periods. comas, and other little things that create a sentance, now yes, my spelling sucks, but I am drunk, what your excuse?:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Why do they even make a square sub???? i mean really....just to be differnt? just to use up more surface area in a given space?

I dont really care actually....they can keep the square subs... the sound I hear is round in its waveform, and so that means i dont hear anything from a square sub.......????

Ok, maybe not......to hell with square subs anyway...I have no use for them other than for target practice with my SKS......they make one hell of an frag fest when hit with a FMJ round...

then there are your circular shaped subs, why do we have them in a circle???? OH YA!!!!! its a stable and strong design that has less cone breakup and better excursion...along with a cheaper to manufacture die and cost.....

TO HELL WITH SQUARE SUBS!!!! GIVE ME A CIRCULAR SUB OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or at least a one night stand with Paris Hilton, skanky as she is, she is still HOT!!!!!!!!! and i would not hesitate to do her....what were we talking about??????
