I'm getting some 10" subs for my crx.
The box will be ported.
The choices are:

-Audiobahn
-Kicker comp
-Alpine TYPE S
-JBL GTO 1000 Series

I will be running an MTX RT4240 Amp .

Please offer your knowledge on these subs.

ps: I have been to a few shops around the GTA.

-cristol radio
-Number 1 sound
-DeGasperis
-Sound FX
-Auto sound design

any recommendations on a shop ?

too bad its outta your budget if you were me I would say W7

bbor-imported

You mean JL Audi W7 ?

I have had numerous Subs in the past.....from

-Legacy 10's
-Kicker XPL
-MTX Road thunders
-JL Audio 12wd4

I need something that is good, but not overly too expensive !
Remember I have a crx so 8" subs will pound !

This also means that I can get 8" subs , but top of the line !!!!

where is a good place to buy sub?

mblicker

save some money and get something you know you will like for 4 -5 years down the road.
ie. sound quality

because in 2 months when u blow ur ear drums with SPL lol u'll want quality

scarlemthug

Get 3-4 of these.....in a custom ported box. That would be your best bet depending on the ratings of the amp you using?

Shipped anywhere in Canada free!

get 2 12" kicker solobarics it'll pound like crazy in your CRX!!!
i got em and they've been sittin in my garage for the past year and a half...i bought it for 1500 back it the day...throw me a price

I dont want it to POUND ! I have a crx so I dont really need that much bass. Also the 12's are too heavy. I'd rather get the 8" Resonant Engineering speakers and save the weight. They'll do the job and sound excellent...

The only problem is getting them.... I WISH I COULD GET MY HANDS ON THEM !

What do you guys think of JBL ?

Get me the speakers and I'll pay you.

If you wanted to optimize your setup I would say get 4 RE8's and I could help you build a box if you wanted. Add me to msn and ill help you get the subs and we can talk about it. (MS_2_scarlem@hotmail.com

I decided to go another route !

I went to go buy Kicker 10" Solobaric L7 (S10L7)
Now let me tell you , these subs frikin pound teh living daylights outta my crx ! I'm afraid my rear hatch glass is gonna shatter !!!
My amp isnt even pushing 1/4 of the capable handling power of this sub ! I got an amazing deal on this sub from Number 1 sound on College street.
