Nice sub for a Nice car

Boston Acoustics vs Nissan

Sony xPlode vs Honda

You get the picture!

No one? anyone into Car Audio at all? I already have 1 in my car, used to have 2, just want boot space, so this one is going.

that must of been insanely loud with two of them, did you ever get the spl measured just asking out of curiosity? I'd buy it but I have a 15" Hertz (and no boot really)

Wouldn't say insanely loud, wasn't as loud as my 12" Kicker L7 in slot tuned box @37hz, but its heaps more nicer to listen to, the bass is nice and tight and crisps when compared to the L7.

I'm just running one in a tiny 1cu box and it's good enough for me, still gets fed 1kw @ 4ohms RMS though and it loves it.

Well the L7 hit 146db, and that was ear bleeding loud... I have never SPL'd the Bostons, but I reckon both of them would hit 140db+ easy.

Best part about them is they only need a 1cu box, the kicker I used to have was a 2.9cu box LOL

try mobile electronics forum (formally CAA)

tried CAA no nibbles... seems like noone is into car audio much these days...

kids just spend their money on stickers and tow hooks for their Hondas....

if no one buys it, I might get really bored and make an closure for the living room... run it off a Jaycar home sub amp module.

I had same sub in my ex's Volvo S40. Running off GT-24 amp (600wrms) got an easy 143db on Termlab in ported box tuned for SQ!! Good sounding sub that can thump.

Good luck with sale.

Man, is anyone into car audio these days?

I have two of these subs. I have not had a chance to do the full installation into the car but did a quick 15 min install to run them at an spl comp. With boxes just sitting and amp leaning up next to boxes I pulled 142dB. That was running off Alpine MRV-1507 (1500W Bridged). These are awesome subs, pretty much indestructible. Worth it for $200 seeing how when they were brand new they retailed for over $800 each.

Cheers

I use to run 2 of them at 2ohm off a 1.5kw monoblock... and they loved it... but yeah I'm going for the 1x 12 with moulded enclosure to free up boot space.

So as soon as I 1 of the 2, I'm going to get a moulded enclosure made up.
