Is that price for the subs, and the amplifier? Or just for the subwoofer(s)?

 

You can get a used JL Audio 13W7 for around $400, I know it does not meet all your criteria but is a very good sub for the right price, F.Y.I Iḿ not a JL Audio Fan.

Or you can get two 12" IDMAX used maybe for a little more.

 

There was a budget sub thread a while back but it died off. It would be nice to see something like that again. I have 2 JLw6 10's, I got them just because they were a sure thing but I am just dying to try something different. I have been checking out budget friendly 12's. The ssa dcon, re sex, infinity selectable ohm just to name a few. I am happy with the w6's but something new is always fun.

 

I can do 300-400 for subs alone.

I can search for used W7's, but would prefer something new.

I forgot about RE. I'll look at their options too.

 

I think image dynamics went out of business...

 

I thought there was talk of that a few months ago, but their website has been updated since then with info about new products coming.

What about these:

FLXX Audio FA15 - 15" subwoofer

Just read some good stuff and then some bad stuff about them. Apparently and small, new operation?

Thanks for the replies guys.

i keep telling myself to stick with my JL's but I really like the fi q's too. There are so many. i wish i could try them all.

The focals k2p, the fi q and the peerless xxls are on my wish list.

 

Seems like the FI is the best bang for the buck there, but I don't know much about those other two yet.

if you can find one, think about a jbl gti mkii 15. freaking sweet subs and you should be able to find a used one for that price.

That, or go for the FI Q

Did they stop making gti mkii's? I remember now people talking highly about them awhile back, I'll check them out.

Dayton Titanic Dayton Audio TIT400C-4 15" Titanic Mk III Subwoofer 4 Ohm 295-420

Ah yes Dayton...something I should have thought of since I owned a 15" DVC many years ago lol. I liked that sub, so I will definitely check out there higher up models.

Thanks again guys!

I have heard good things about the JBL subs too. I would like to try the infinity 12.1's too. I wonder why they quit making those?

I wish I could try things but because I live in bfe, I have to rely on reviews. That's why I went with the JL's, even people who hate them use them as a benchmark for comparison.

That's a lot of space. Get the most cone area you can afford. Two 15's easily, a single 18, or possibly two 18's depending on the brand. Sub up, port back, will probably yield the best results. Look on the SSA store, really any subs there are pretty good. Also look at DC Audio and PSI. PSI can build you pretty much anything you need, but are sometimes more expensive. I've got DC's now, but I want to try PSI next.

I think two 15's would be better, but given your budget, one 18" would probably be best that can handle that power. DC Level 4 18", SSA XCON 18", IA Death Row 18", Fi Q 18", PSI Platform 2 18", are all in your budget. Again, if it was me I would rather do two 15's, and if your budget will allow, that's probably the way to go. I'm a fan of DC, so if I had to choose, it would be 2 DC Level 3 15's.

That's assuming this budget was not including the amp.

 

Sundown Z imo

Or the Xcon
