Subs or high powered 6x9's

[bcraig]

given the fact that subs take alot of trunk space would you guys prefer just getting them anyway OR running an amp off of 6x9's?

th infinity basslink sub/amp isn't too big, and sounds pretty good. its not too big either.

IMO subs > 6X9's.

But if you're more interested in saving space then getting some boom, go with some quality 6X9's. My sub is removeable when I need to haul stuff.

Amplified Bazooka toobs................ little space, LOTS more boom than any amped 6X9s.

dude no offense but no....not bazooka tubes....they suck....

anyways it all depends on what ur looking for...if your wanting SQ(sound quality) but if ur wanting the boom boom s**t go with the sub....and if ur worried about space just get some small sub(s)

 

[CRX_dude]

2 8" kicker comp vr with a good amp will save you alot of space.... or atleast get one 10.. youll be more satisified with it then 2 6x9s .....

id go with the sony xplod 12'' XS-L122P5. it sounds really good, jus get a good amp, not a lightning amp.

are you honestly saying buy sony subs?? they are nothing but s**t, if you want a lil bit more bass buy 1 10" sub, a good quality one that will take some power and call it a day

no.. they dont. not at all... read up on them. Saves space and hits pretty well (10s or 12s)...

And sony speakers are terrible, you look them up too.....

save up and buy a sub, the basslink is not bad, it just depends on what you listen to and how much bass you really want. I prefer my 12" type r and its the right amout of bass and it doesnt take up a whole lotta room. I would never buy bazooka bass tubes or sony subs, you might as well shell out the cash now instead of buying crap and having to replace it sooner than you would like to.

A 10" sealed box will make you happy and it doesn't take too much room.

you must have different experiences from me, ive heard some pretty good sony subs hit hard. they are not the best by far but their good for the money, 110dollars..

 

[terceltyler]

i got the infinty bass link and its perfect deep base but doesnt rsttle the f**k outta my car like my buddies RF 12"

yea when i used to install i couldn't count how many seized because they were just plain junk, and no they were not overpowerd or anything like that, junk i tell ya

 

[CRX_dude]

imho,,, sonys are good for beginers... for people thats barley getting into car audio... my uncle had 1 10" sony in his truck with i dont know what amp but and that sub rattled the whole truck ... i was impressed that it was only one sub...

Agreed.....

im not too much of a bass obsessed person, so i dont have a sub in the car right now (besides the fact that wifey won't let me get it). i have the rockford punch 6x9 in the back and their pretty bassy, but they are still only speakers, so if you set it for a good sound, your front might not sound well. better off gettin like a small 10' sealed with a small amp, just enuf boom.

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

well yea...i have 2 12" and the bass is so hard i cant hear the words anymore...even though i only have around 800 watts rms... if i was you i would get like a 8" or 2 8" and see how u like them if not then get either more bass or less? all depends on what ur looking for?

 

[slowhatch]

i think 8's are a waste of money, imo. if you dont want much bass just get a 10 or 12 and turn down the bass and when you wanna bass just turn it back up
