Posted February 3, 200520 yr onyx 15"whatcha all think??looks pretty good...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 3, 200520 yr Never head them, but based on looks Id pay the $130 to try one. The mag and surround look mean. U gonna get it?
February 3, 200520 yr Author probably not...i've got all that power in my truck and nothing to throw it at?!?!?!the xxx is ok, but not the loudest set-up i've had..i might just put the 10's back in...i might also be running a 10" solo x after tomorrow...lol....i dunno..i'm bored..lolwheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 3, 200520 yr You tried big box medium tuned XXX yet? I don't remember if you haven't or not. Kinda tough to build the box and use it once eh. Maybe you could sell it locally at tha shop, I don't know.Try the Solo X. I don't think you'll enjoy it for daily driving, however I think you'll like how loud it is.What about some HPO's / Mojo's or something? You've already tried so many things and everything I can suggest seems so similar.Unless you want a Shiva or something. MTX 8500 or 9500? IDMAX? Something from DD? Diamond TDX? Atomic QT, AP, APX? JBL GTI series?- Steve

February 3, 200520 yr all that power and nothing to throw it at? sucker....I'll trade yah the 2.5 for a 1.2
February 3, 200520 yr Author all that power and nothing to throw it at? sucker....I'll trade yah the 2.5 for a 1.2 noo...i like having the extra there...loli want subs..hehehere's the deal....i'm going to be putting a wall in my bro-in-law's firebird...two 15" L7's and two mtx 1501d's....i already have almost as much power...so i wanna try to be as loud, if not louder...but i don't wanna use squares, unless it's an solox..then i just wanna use one..yeah, i know..surface area...wall....500 more rms...lol...but i wanna try..80inch...ur right about onyx i believe....but or that much money..it's hard to pass up...plus with companies like re doing custom recones...loli dunno...suggestions??wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 3, 200520 yr kent, you know that you are not gonna be competitive against a wall. even if the wall & side panels are done 1/2 ass, he's still gonna have an advantage.
February 3, 200520 yr if you dont care about beating him on the TL, rather to the ear... it'll be tough.go real big box, lotta port, tune high 30's. mechanical handling will be down but you're going to need to throw some power on it anyhow. keep an eye on the moofer(s).
February 3, 200520 yr far as which drivers? lots of goodies out there. but what are you willing to pay, what can you get ahold of?the solo-x would be nice... with at least twice the wattage you have.
February 3, 200520 yr Author yeah...but i like a challange....and i might just do a wall myself..lol...i did 145.5 without a wall with a pair of 15's and just 1000wrms..no modded electrical..now..modded electrical....better wire (0 gauge compared to 4 gauge) no other amps...2.5 times the power...maybe get a 50 on the dash legal...the 45 was outlawwheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 3, 200520 yr Author far as which drivers? lots of goodies out there. but what are you willing to pay, what can you get ahold of?the solo-x would be nice... with at least twice the wattage you have.i'm thinking, i fi can get close with a 10"...lol....for the 10..i'm thinkin 4ft^3, tuned about 38hz..100in^2 of port...downfire the sub to hide it...heheh...and see what happens...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 3, 200520 yr 45 outlaw = 41-43 legal usually. sorry.you know the higher you get the harder it is to gain. hell, talk to Yota... how long did he chase 150?you CAN do it... but it'll take alot of tuning. But, you've got spare time 4ft^3 for the solo? with 2500rms? go bigger... much bigger. If you're only going to throw 2.5kw nominal at it, I would move up to the 7-8ft^3 range. You're gonna lose points downfiring. on the sensor anyhow. You never did answer, are you actually trying to compete with him (on the TL/mic) or you just wanna sit next to each other and see who's louder?
February 3, 200520 yr Author i know 45 outlaw is about a 42 legal..8ft^3 huh? downfiring cost me?? ok...probably both mic and side by sidewheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 3, 200520 yr for mic, downfiring will cost you. at least, it has in my trials and from the competitors that I've talked to. you lose 'spl' in the reflection/cancellation. if you're gonna go with a solo, the susp is beefy enough that I think 2500rms wont hurt it much (if at all) in 8ft^3. talk to trp82 (iirc) at TPro... he runs a Solo in a cargo area wall in a blazer. cool guy. mid to high 150's. daily dirver too.bunch of other guys too. actually, find & PM tracey (polecat)... he knows his Kicker
February 3, 200520 yr maybe ryan will give me his uber for the box...lol...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Hmm. Might be able to work something out. YOu want me to send it your way to toy with? It's still sitting here unused.
February 3, 200520 yr Admin humm the Onyx is a sweet sub, but I am worried since they are not in existance anymore
