whats a good 12inch subwoofer(looking for a good circle sub not square) that i can use on my hifonics 1200watts amp with a 1.5 farad capacitor ...i currently have the kicker comp subwoofer it sounds good but i wanna hit a louder deeper bass

 

1. What is the model # of amp?
2. What is your price range?
3. Trunk, hatch?
4. Using the same box? So what is the internal volume(cu. ft.), ported or sealed?
5. What do you favor, loudness or sound quality?
6. Where do you intend to buy the subwoofer?

 

-hifonics brutus 2007
-$200
-i have a 92 integra
-same box and its ported 12x17 or the other way around lol
-deep bass i would rather prefer cause i already have an amp on my components
-anywhere i can get a good price

 

The amp is 900watts @ 2ohms. You probably will not use 1200watts @ 1ohm.

I assume 92 integra means hatchback(3 door).

To choose a subwoofer you need to know the exact dimensions of the box, port(length and opening), and thickness of wood. Same thing a car stereo shop would do.

There are some subs at $200 that will work, but there will not be much difference from what you have now. $250-300 there will be better ones. You might look for a used sub. Maybe even including a box.

If you don't care about warranty then there are hundreds of online stores that have relatively good prices. I look around onlinecarstereo , but have not used them. Craigslist is a good place to check.

 

what kicker do you have?

but use Hertz HXS300D .. and i think you'll be pretty impressed!

and btw, what will you do with your kicker ?

 

my box is mdf
i was thinking about getting the type r subwoofer ? what you think

 

Type R subwoofer is an good uppgrade, but if the box and port are wrong you might very well blow up that nice new sub. Good luck

 

why is that ?
does type r sounds better with sealed box?

 

BTW you need type r model swr-1242d.

The sub needs a specific enclosure. It can be ported or sealed. Ported needs to be a 1.7cu ft. box with a specific port size. Your box is wrong. Look on page 4 of this manual and find the ported needs of the 1242d sub - http://vault.alpine-usa.com/pr...D.PDF

 

alpine type-r is good. but yeah, with proper box it sounds massive!

but what car you have? install the sub to the back panel(?) and it would be nice

but is there any Hertz sub's there in the US? :D

 

i gotta 2ohm type r 12" sounds nice but if youre running a 900w amp the rms on the type r is only 500 so kinda a waste.

 

audioque hdc3! buy the D2 ohm then build yourself an enclosure to the subs specs. then hold on!

oh yea, another good option would be an FI Q D2 < has better sound quality IMO

Edit* both my 2 suggestions will **** allover a TYPE ARGGGG!

 

fi sub isnt that the sub that steve meade are using

 

why not go wid the jl w6 they are 400-500 rms i believe..and im sure they're going to knock soo hard and loud your going to love it...SQ and BASS

 

i just bought an alpine type r subwoofer with the alpine box made for the subs ..using a hifonics super d class mono block 1200 watts amp and now im looking for some crossover so i can have a better crisp sound on my components
