Rockford t1s has had my heart for years ill never go away from them

[sergiocardenas]

Ive had Memphis, Alpine and kicker along with kenwood and Skar audio. Alpine type R i have had 12, 10s and currently running 2 8s in my GMC and i absolutely love them. Also running a Kicker L7R 10inch in my civic and it is impressive in a ported box. All these brands have been good to me had 2 15inch memphis refrence in a Expedition and they sounded clean in a sealed box

Dd audio for the win!! Always been a jl fan but the dd 2508sc in mb enclosures changed my brand loyalty 👌🏻👌🏻

Rockford Fosgate subwoofer is my go to brand ever since. I’ve been looking to buy new brands of subwoofer but I’m still ended up owning Rockford Fosgate sub. I got 4X 10” subs RF subs but I install on 2 on my 23 Honda civic then the other pair is reserve incase I need to add more but I don’t think so. I’m not into SPL. My ears like SQL. My ears are more on a loud and clear set up. 🔊🔊

As an SQ guy, I have a pair of Morel Ultimo 10s.
For SPL, I’d pick DD over Kicker only because of the smaller required box volume.

Rockford Fosgate! Has never let me down! Although I prefer Focal or Alpine for my Mids and highs

The Rockford T3 19" is a BEAST!!
It hits HARD, LOW and sounds amazing for a big woofer. None of that sloppy sounding bass it's punchy like how 10's are.
Can be used for SPL also some dude is doing almost 160db with 2 T-2500's strapped.
Rockford is quality I am very impressed!

I use Orion XTR PRO subwoofers I've been hooked on Orion xtr's since the late 80's and I'm so glad that the new people running it today is the same guys that ran it back then and they brought back the Orion NT Amplifiers and they are being made like they were back then here in the good ol Pheonix Arizona area in the good ol united states so they're not only bringing back one of the cleanest sounding lines of amplifiers ever made, if u don't beleive me when u get a chance and see one ask them to let u hear it and u'll see

I'm running 3 soundstream R3 10" subs in the back of a 2008 mercedes sl550 and they sound great. I'm building a higher end sq system with Steg, helix etc and these subs fit right end. I think the biggest point is to understand your subs parameters and how and where the subs will be and to really dial in your enclosure. Doing that, you can really really bring so much more out of your speakers.

JL audio not considered sound quality??

[charlesbeltington-smythe]

Im after SQL.
What are the alternatives to JL Audio 13w7s?

[hockeymask]

I have Kicker KS Series Speakers, dual 12” Kicker L7’s with Kicker 1200 watts mono amp and Kicker 360 watts 4 channel amp.
I always get compliments from people since they hear my car thump from 3 blocks away

[hockeymask]

I got a question for you. What speakers, woofers and amps would you install in a truck like GMC sierra? Let’s say you wanna spend about $2000 to $3000 on all of this. What would be the best choice?

[downearth]

A sub is nothing without a proper built and spec box. The cheapest sub will sound and perform great in proper built box. Same goes for best sub sounds like 💩 in wrong built and spec box. Stick to your budget anything can be built to sound great

[RyanBassForLife]

Nice subwoofers but the subwoofer box is almost more important than what subwoofer you use 👍💯

[AllboroLCD]

So I tried upgrading door subs when I put my aftermarket amp in, the sound surprisingly was a downgrade.. so the stocks went back in! Need to do something with em now so Gonna do a rear enclosure, theyre lil 6.5 inchers. Should I go with 2 separate sealed boxes, or pack them both into a single "L vent" type box? Orrr, should I buy 2 more of em and go with a quad sealed box? My systems always had either single or dual 10"/12" setups, so not sure what to expect here.

[alldaveallnight]

I have a pair of JL Audio TW3 10's still in the box and several old school Orion HCCA amps. Just haven't done anything with them yet.

[bondalero]

I’ve had it ALL and been in this game since 89’! Gimme JL Audio, Rockford Fosgate, Kicker, or Alpine in that order for everyday driver and you can keep the rest!

How Good Is Hertz 8's and 10's 400-500 RMS Subwoofers if boot space is limited and I dont want to go for a big
