Well i'm fed up with this stuff!!! My xtants have just given me to much grief. I'm thinking of a swap out now. The amp is still good to me but the subs probably will go. I'm thinking of doing something crazy. Right now: 2 12's at 500 watts a peice(1 ohm) Crazy thought. Go with 4 12's 4ohm SVC rms around 250-300 watts. If i were to parrallel all 4 subs that would give me 1000 watts from the amp and then each sub would get 250. what do you guys think?
I believe its right at 300-350. They require alot of airspace though. How much room do you have?? I'm not sure if they come in SVC configurations or not, but the new Elemental k series subs are the best deal going at $100 per sub.
I recommend looking at the DEI Studios they are not on the Sales site but I can get you the 12's or 10's for for about $100 each shipped 14mm Xmax 500W rms power handlin (12in) www.directed.com
thanks for the suggestions. i guess i wasn't really looking for the cheapest subs out there. not saying they aren't good but the price is what i'm saying. money isn't tight but i'm not going to go above 300 a sub either. maybe 400 at the most. i want to stick with two 12's also. how much air space do the shivas need? i would run them sealed if that helps.
Well if you want to run 4 SVC subs that limits your choices as there are not too many SVC subs left on the Market then you say on 250W's each so you will not want a expensive High Power sub then, I think the DEI fits your bill (a small bill at that )
unless you are dead set on it...rather than gettin 4 ohm svc you could get dvc 2's and get the Elemental 12's...they are supposed to work in small boxes as well so that way you can keep more room..
i'm not to worried about keeping room. don't use the trunk all that much anyways. I want 4 because of the ohm load of the svc parralled. i wouldn't mind having two dvc subs seeing that i have two right now. i'm just thinking about trying something new. something thats not going to blow up on me after all the daily driving i do.
I believe he means that 4 DVC 2 ohm subs will give you a 1 ohm load. I'm not quite sure how it'd be wired, but it sounds right.
well if he ment that why did he say elementals? they only come in DVC 4ohm the Hollywood Excursions come in DVC 2hom and I could see if I can get you some of the Edge Seriers they come in 4ohm SVC too
4 2ohm DVC subs is the same as having 4 4ohm SVC subs Wire each subs in Series and then the Group in parrallel
