2000 10" HX2
Strength:
-I have 2 10" rockford hx2's in the trunk of a 1999 honda civie si and they pound
Weakness:
-they're going to make me deaf soon I have 2 120" rockford HX2's in the trunk of a 99 2 door civic. I wanted some amazing sound quality but also wanted big bass, so I bough some boston mids and tweets for my high end and this system sounds absolutely amazing. I'm running my 2 10' off the rockford punch 1100a2 and it runs them amazing. Super lound clean and clear bass, realy nice bass response. I'm so glad I got these subs and amp I can tell people I have 2 15's and they'll believe me just because this was such a well built sub. If you want a loud very responsive bassy sub this is a very good choice. I'd recomend these subs to anybody with any music listening tastes. Similar Products Used: -12" jl W0's ( suck ) |

RF POWER DVC 12
Strength:
these subs kick some serious butt, they pound really hard, clean bass, each sub peaks at 2000watts/1000rms nuff said
Weakness:
there are none if you want to turn heads or alarm your neighborhood these are it, I'v had allmost every sub out there an only the strokers can compare, the sound good at all levels. Im running two 12s with a power 1000 and I allways drown out all the other cars. alot of manufactures make their subs with pretty colors and polished or chrome baskets so you pay for the look but sacrifice sound. Fosgates have an agressive badass rebel ugly monsterous look so your paying for nuttin but sound.if you plan on getting these I'd advice you to start a savings fund to pay for all the tickets you might get oh and you might want to get some tylenol to get rid of the headaches you WILL be getting Similar Products Used: boston pro,polk momo,mtx 8000,cerwin vega,orion,jl |

RFP2412
Strength:
not too big, not much power required for serious bass, hit HARD at normal freq's
Weakness:
Doesn't get quite as low as I'd like These things can HIT. I've got them running off a Crossfire TEK150.2(150w rms amp in STEREO) and it rattles my whole car- can't see out the rear view mirrors (any of the 3) or sometimes even out the front windshield. They make rap/hip hop sound excellent but are a bit quiet when I throw in my Allman Brothers(Yes, even though that is classic rock they have some noteworthy basslines)If I could get just one thing more from these it would be more low end. Sometimes when things are hitting so well these two 12's seem to "fall out" when it gets real low. But thats my only gripe. For everything else they can pound. You can feel it in the center of your chest. A good sub for the modest price, just give 'em a good amp(Crossfire isn't well known -yet- but they are an excellent amp at a very reasonable price-especially if you know the right people). Two rattling thumbs up. I would consider these subs to be a good investment for anyone who wants a "start up" sub that may never have to be replaced Similar Products Used: pioneer 10's 350w |

Merlin
Strength:
Works in sealed or vented enclosures, providing its boxed right. Has lasted through hard playing for a long time.
Weakness:
None This sub is excellent. I had it in a ported enclosure and it shook my truck. I ran it off of a Kicker ZR240 amp, and even in a ported enclosure it punched good. I recently slapped it into a 0.42 cuft sealed enclosure and it hits like nuts. Excellent response and very accurate bass reproduction. Similar Products Used: MTX Blue Thunder, Phoenix Gold 10's |

Kenny
Strength:
plays pretty loud with little power
Weakness:
can't play real deap and can't hit real hard I put 2 RFZ12 in a 88 cutllas with a puch 150 briged running them and it sound decent. Don't get me wrong they don't compare to JL' or orion or IDQ but there pretty good for 138$. I have less than 300$ in the subs and the amp. So if you want decent bass that doesn't need lots of power than they're a good choice. |

Strength:
This sub knocks with 250watts. I have it in a single bandpass enclosure, and you can feel the bass in your spine while driving. I have yet to hear this sub distort or bottom.
Weakness:
nada I would recommend this sub to anyone, except it is no longer made. The xlc's replaced it. If they improved this sub in any fashion, then it is an even better buy. I paid $130.00 for the sub new in a bandpass box. Similar Products Used: Pioneer 10" diamond plate is great, but not quite as much punch. (no pun intended) |

A few months ago, I had a mission - to find earth shattering bass.Having just lost a Sony active sub to another member of my family, I was left with the puny (by my standard) bandpass sub which came with my Wharfedale Modus Satelites (hey I dont have much space;oP). Anyway, I knew that if I was to buy a premade sub that had what I wanted that it was gonna cost several thousand dollars. So after a long coffee session, and recently stepping out of a friends Honda CRX with 4 JL Audio 10w6 subs in it, I decided I would use car subs and make my own enclosure. So the first sub I made was a single reflex bandpass with two Kicker C-12a's. While this sub was incredibly efficient and had HUGE spl, it had a very small range of useful frequencies and was a tad, no a lot, boomy. So it became tiring to listen to unless you happened to be listening to jungle techno, in which case boomy is what you want. Another bad thing about this box was that it was about 75 kilograms and was way too big to fit properly in the room (about 1.4x.5x.5 metres). |
