For this particular car I say forget everyone's advice and go for the four 12". As for brand I recomend Canadian Tire.

4x12" subwoofers would be a waste of money in any car unless you have the battery power, alternator power, upgraded grounds, capacitors, and very powerful amplifiers. You may only see 3-4db's louder then having 2x12" subwoofers IF your not using the requirements posted above.

Isn't that what meford's boyfriend calls him??

Well I decided to rock out 2 10" Premier subs. Actually its the 2 premiers that are in my transam right now. I am gonna pound them with my KAC 929 1000watt amp running at 4ohm doing 460watts RMS. The subs are 700watts peak, 275rms each so I think it should sound pretty decent.

No thanks!

4 12's In The Trunk? - microbunny - 08-26-2005

That setup looks completely useless! Definately had only looks in mind. 2 12" could blow that setup away, sound quality wise, and have a 100x meaner looking setup for show purposes....

Why people feel the need to ram s**t like that into their cars is beyond me....what
a friggin waste of time, money, and space@!@!

Well the pioneers decided to explode. Literally. No clue what happened. Of all the songs to be listening to when it happened (Broken - Seether f. Amy Lee). Sub did a nice bass burp which turned into a clap which turned into the burning smell which turned into a fire in the hole. This happened on my trip to stratford. I quickly pulled the car over on the 401, busted out my trust ractive fire extinguisher and hosed the burnt woofers down and disconnected the fuse.

SO!! as a replacement...cuz I really don't care how much bass the focus has as the transam is getting a super SPL setup done...I went to wally world and bought me 2 10" jensens....w00t w00t..go $20 subs go!

4 12's In The Trunk? - Drivesthebeast - 08-31-2005

There's a store called Wally World? That's awesome! lol!

2 subs for 20 bux each...not bad...especially if they are the XS series...look like decent build quality...if they blow too though...might be the amp...let us know what happens.

4 12's In The Trunk? - ThraxXx - 08-31-2005

well the amp is fine. I think the problem with the pioneers wasn't the amp...it was the fact that I took them out of the transam...and well I beat the s**t out of them hardcore the other weekend at a sound off. 52hz burp for 30 seconds straight.

When I did an ohm load test on them each coil was putting out a whopping 2.5ohm load. I read somewhere that when the ohm load of a sub drops its due to voice coil failure.

4 12's In The Trunk? - Drivesthebeast - 08-31-2005

Well, it's cool to hear that your amp is ok, and that you got some new drivers for so cheap too...hopefully they will do the trick for you.

For myself, I'm actually contemplating how a Bazooka NOS Tube will sound in my car running off my current amp in mono...I'm kinda tired of how big my box is, and how much extra weight is in the car too...

4 12's In The Trunk? - ThraxXx - 08-31-2005

Well these dirty little $20 jensen XS have quite the foam surround. The excursion is well...retarded. if they last 2 days then they made their moneys worth.

4 12's In The Trunk? - Drivesthebeast - 08-31-2005

Sounds like you like to really Jam on your stuff hard....perhaps you should buy some hefty subs...like the Poweracoustik FUBR or MOFO subs...they have some awesome XMAX, an were designed for a beating (with the proper sized amp behind them mind you)...

4 12's In The Trunk? - nass - 09-07-2005

I have in my other cars had 4 12"s.... the only application that seemed to work well was in my (shaggin)wagon. But seriously like someone already said 4 12"s isn't that great sure you'll send the old lady down the block into a shock and you'll feel the tiny hairs in your ass crack tickle you as you hit 23Hz but I enjoy my 2x12"s I have right now much better.


crazy setups are for Db drags and deaf guys.
