ti10

comp vr

he2

kappa

alpine type s

Out of all of these subs which one would be the best Ill be runing about 400watts rms to it. If there are any otheres in or around this price range and they are better then these let me know.

It depends on what is your definition of best. Are you talking about a good sounding sub or a loud one???? If you like definition the alpines and kappas are nice. I had comp vr once. They sounded the best in a seled box but if you buy them make sure you get the 12's they hit harder and repond better."Just my opinion". In the other hand we have the Rockford he2 i have heard some in shows and damm those bad boys pound. But i din't like how they sounded. About the ti10 i haven heard one yet. Just let us know about what material you will play in them and we can help you decide.

Dont use ten words when 5 will do fine.

i already have 2 mtx thunder 8000 10 inch subs in my trunk i really dont know how to tell the diffrence between spl and sq because i havent heard many subs before. But on other reviews they say that the 8000's are great for spl and i am building a vented box for them because they are in a bandpass now. If this is the case that the 8000's are alot of spl then i would want a good sq sub to balance the sound. In other words i would like a subwoofer that when combined with 2 thunder 8000's will sound great and still pound like hell. The subwoofer i get will also be put into a vented box unless a vented box isn't good for sq

Well brunno your mtx subs are good. I also had a pair of mtx but used to have the 6000's a couple of years ago. The 8000's are really good subs. It all depends of what type of enclosure you throwed them in. Want Spl buil a spec vented box with a slot type vent. If you want crisp,tight anb solid bass that wil make your vision blurr buil a sealed box for them. The only prob of sealed boxes is that thay don't reproduce very low freq well. So you can put the two 8000's you have now in a vented box and buy a third one and put it in a sealed box. You will notice the diference.

well now that i know what kind of enclosure to put the sub in the problem is picking one. i was and am really intrested in the ti10 but any of these will sound good i think. Now if i could get input from someone that has experience with all of these or some of them, that could recommend one that would be appreciated

Well i have two alpine r 12's in a custom box with two sealed chambers. 1cu ft each chamber and they hit very hard and have exelent sound quality. The thing i love about them is that thay are very musical. Forget about the type s and go with the types r wich will handle more power. I will review the ti 10 and ask my buddies.

Well that ti sub look like a good sub. It has a lot of ex max and have 2.5in voice coil. Huge magnet two so i think you should be fine with it. Just remember to go sealed with it. He should roock like no tomorow.

I just bought the Type S's I had three and it pounded hard so do two though. They like the deep beats too. Well worth the money.

I have two Ti10's sitting beside me, brand new. Never heard them, except when I first got them I tested them to make sure they weren't duds with 150W at about 1/2 volume. Buying the system piece by piece as I can afford it. But at that low power and volume I could still tell that they will hit lower and harder than my IDQ's when fully powered. If you go with these, let us know how they work for you.

P.S.- If you're going to buy them on e-bay, be careful. Make sure you check out the seller good before you buy. Even then I wouldn't recommend it.

As A competitor i have seen alot of things. In North Carolina there is this man with a blue Impala with 2x12 MTX 8000 with the 8100's pushing each sub in a 4th order bandpass. Very clean sounding as well as monstrously loud.

thanks for all your reply's i was still wondering about the comp vr or the he2 i might also think about gettin 1 hx2 or alpine type r out of these which would you guys recommend

Try locating somewhere you can test your subs in different enclosures. Also, see if you can find a shop that would enter your specs into a computer to get an idea on what type of sound you will get.

I know from experience the MTX subs are loud in a sealed enclosure with the right amp. Those subs should give you pretty decent sq also in a sealed box. Try going to a shop and testing your subs in a sealed enclosure and seeing if they would let you test one of their amps. You want to test a good amp with about 300 rms per speaker.

thanks but your still not answering my question. I want to know which of these subs will sound better for sq and still pound really hard.

Is this an Eclipse Ti10 or a Kleenex Gold Ti10?

does that mean phoenix gold isnt good? If not out of those which would you pick or also the hx2 or alpine type r

I had one 12" HE2 with 750 watts rms going to it which was almost twice what it asks for. I hung in there real well on that amp, but it failed the accidental screwdriver through the cone test(oops). I upgraded to 2 HX2's which are getting 500w apiece and that rock. My friend has two 15" MTX 8000's in a ported box and it pisses him off that I hit louder and lower than him. I don't think he is taking into account he drives an Excursion and I drive a Discovery.

I'm still curious about the slam to phoenix gold though. Are they no good?

if i did get a he2 or hx2 which do u think would be better keep in mind that im on a tight budget so whatever i save will help plus my amp that will be pushing that will be 400watts rms. so will the hx2 still sound better or about the same since the amp will be pushing under what the hx2 is capable of

-------------

anyone know which sub would be better for the 401s amp.
The hx2 or he2

-------------

The hx2 is just a hair more sensitive and can take 100 more watts. It will sound great even though its not getting its "rated" rms max. The HE2 is a great match for that sub amp. One of the other differences between the two subs is the surround. HX2 has rubber as the HE2 has foam. I've had both of these subs and loved them both. I still have my 2 12" HX2's and after 2 years they are still pounding. I'd go with which ever one you can afford.
