Posted May 15, 201312 yr this is not for debating or anything im just curious and want to know everyones opinions if you got to pick a single sub setup and had the room for one 18 and the amp to power it what would you go with?
May 15, 201312 yr depends on where it's going.. I'm assuming a trunk.. IF so, ehh.. i hate trunks so i dont know. If a hatchback.. still debatable based on firing direction.
May 15, 201312 yr ah, there we go. i'm an SPL fiend.. so when you say sub AND amp to power it.. that tells me budget is whatever.. In that case, if you just wanted straight crazy SPL, i'd go with Fi's new Team Fi sub if they ever get it on the website.. Otherwise, i'd go with the SSA Evil. The Evil will not sacrifice a nice musical experience with SPL either. that's a bonus for the Evil.
May 15, 201312 yr I would probably go with an Evil since all the reviews say how musical and nice sounding they are. Ohh and they'll get loud lol
May 15, 201312 yr Well, they are also revising the SMD too to even greater thermal ability.. Maybe you should wait until that happens and see what you think about it.
May 15, 201312 yr A crew cab with the back seat out and only one sub is like a strip club, you like whats going on but in the end you just get bored with it.If you can only afford to do one really nice sub then instead do 3 or 4 decent subs and really get the experience. I would rather do a wall with Icons or SSD's than one SMD sub.
May 15, 201312 yr Author yeah im in a nissan frontier so 1 18 like the smd would fill it up or 2 decent 18s walled would be my options
May 16, 201312 yr Evil 18 on a crescendo 5500.. But I really like my single z on bx3500 so i stick with the z
May 16, 201312 yr How much space and power do you have? I'm assuming somewhere around 3k since you were talking about an s m d. I would do more cone area if you have the room.
May 16, 201312 yr Author i forgot exactly how much space i can do around 15ish cubes and i sold all my system (fi bl 18 & 3000 watt zeus) except my head unit a few months ago and now im starting back from scratch
May 16, 201312 yr fi sp4 or ssa evil on a 5500 or an ns-1...... i have an sp4 on 1500w and even on that low power it gets down and is pretty musical
May 18, 201312 yr I would pick up that used ZCON of course. Used price is always better. bigjon isn't a retard so I'm sure it hasn't been abused. Personally I always love a good opportunity when it arises!
May 18, 201312 yr single sub limitation, i'd have to go for one of the big boys: in no particular order, SSA Evil, DC level 5 or 6, Sundown zv4, IA Warden,. maybe some AQ hdc3 or 4 action or the AB equivalent. and if i felt really spend i'd consider a DD Z
May 18, 201312 yr im so confused how i see alot of people suggesting a sub that 1 is not even out... 2 they have NO clue how it will perform or even hold up..... not calling you out.. but i have seen ALOT of people suggesting the Zv4.. and they are clue less and the DDZ is a shit sub for music. infact its the oposit of what the sub is designed for Edited May 18, 201312 yr by bigjon
May 18, 201312 yr DDz may be considred shit for music, doesn't mean I wouldn't wanna play with one if i had the money to just blow.Same with the Zv4. I don't need to know what it's gonna do to want to see what I can make it do.
May 18, 201312 yr im so confused how i see alot of people suggesting a sub that 1 is not even out... 2 they have NO clue how it will perform or even hold up..... not calling you out.. but i have seen ALOT of people suggesting the Zv4.. and they are clue less Welcome to the world of internet forum boners.
