The loudest subwoofers!!!?

Question

So right now i have an oldsmobile aurora with 2 12 inch alpine type r's and a rockford 1800 watt amp. i am going to buy a new scion tc and was wondering what would be the loudest system to put in there. i dont want to spend over 1500 dollars on subs and was thinking a few things. i was going to buy 2 more type r's and have 4 of them and just buy a bigger amp or i was thinking about buying my friends 4 12inch l7's. i would really like to kno what people think on what is the loudest system to get... amp included. thank you

Answer 1

JL, KICKER, MTX, FOSGATE, are all good choices but for all out spl here are a few to check out the first is the hifonics xx1612 Goliath 1600 rms ea. a pair will run around $660.00. these are the smallest in the Goliath series, MA audio HK12X2 are 1500 rms ea.
AUDIOBAHN AWIS12P 2000 rms ea.
I would also check with AMERICAN BASS, DIGITAL DESIGN, or
RE . These are just to name a few.

Answer 2

Something to consider...this is an example...

To calculate the current draw of an amplifier, multiply the total RMS watts by 2 to account for amplifier inefficiency (We'll say 1000 watts X 2 = 2000 watts), then divide by the average output voltage of an alternator, 13.8 volts (2000 divided by 13.8 = 145 amps). Since the average music signal requires about 1/3rd of the average power in a test tone, divide by 3 (145 amps divided by 3 = 48 amps).

This is an average approximation of current draw and it can go higher. So I would gather between *48 and 72 amperes for this example.

The alternator of a:

compact car is about 35 amps
mid-sized car is about 65-75 amps
SUV is about 145 amps

Calculate 40% of the amperes of the alternator you have now. This is the average current the car uses when running. Add this number to the approximate average current draw (*48), and you will come up with the mimimum average current required to power the audio system and vehicle. I would recommend going with the next highest rated alternator you can find or more accurately, multpily the final calculation by 1.3 for the alternator amperage required.

If the number you come up with is the same as what your alternator supplies, you need to take no action.

Answer 3

it all depends on your loacation lets be real just get a 13.5 inch Jl audio W7 with the 1000/1 amp amd your shure to be the loudest on your block. But if u dont wanna pay for name but quality there are planty of other name brands out there that get as loud as JL,kicker,rockford... try searching for adire brahma 15'', re xxx, these subs are lengedary and get really loud compition loud u can find some good deals if search around..later

Answer 4

jl are top of the line of course something cheaper could be alpine type-x 12 there the next best thing then of corse you could put kicker L7 15 alpine makes nice stakable amps

Answer 5

JL makes a nice sub in different ranges very loud and very reliable (hard to blow) at competitive prices be careful going to big on sub size try to shop different brand twelves I am sure you will find something sufficient

Answer 6

JL W7 or a 18" Solo X. Maybe even some Type xs?

Answer 7

Stay with the Type-R's and go one high-power amp per sub. make sure you have the airspace correct. you will need 0gauge wiring and you will need a better electrical system and dynamat will have to be put everywhere

Answer 8

it is all with personal preference but me personally i would pay the 4 bills apiece for the rockford T1's and a P5 or bigger amp

Answer 9

kicker all the way the have tons more surface area for more breathing power and they also hit harder. i would say this will rock your car like everything you would want it to be. its the solo x 18" 10,000 watts of pounding bass. its real nice. but dont take my word for it check it out your self.

I hope you go deaf by the time your 30
