Sub question

[Bluedevil19]

Im in the process of redoing my entire sound system. I dont want really loud pounding bass that makes everything rattle, just want some good bass i can hear over the noise of the car and some bass to go with what ever new speakers i get. I see this brand name around alot online.
http://www.allaudioexpo.com/nav/deta...=115&tran=fgle Is it a good brand? Does anyone have any experience with this sub or know anything about it?

They are a decent brand, but are not top of the line by any means. When you buy an amp, make sure you stay under the RMS Watt rating on the sub, and it should last a while.

What he said.

Pyle ("Pyledrivers") used to be some decent shit back in the day. Since then, they've slipped some. But yeah, not awful. 400W max, 200W RMS.

I'd recommend a Alpine, Boston or JL Audio single 10" over that, for what it's worth.

[Bluedevil19]

ok thanks! When it says thats its amplified does that mean theres an amp built in so i wouldnt need to buy one?

[MP81]

That Pyle one is, yes, so correct, it will just plug right into a patchcord.

Single 10" with amp makes great sound. That's what I have in my car. I'm partial to MTX subwoofers and Affinity speakers.

patchcord? is that the rca cable?

I say get a real subwoofer and amp and tune the box and you will be much happier.

Whats your budget?

Kyle is right, Pyle back in the day WAS good stuff. American made too.
As a matter of fact, I wouldn't hesitate choosing another pyle sub with the right parameters for a low cost setup.

BUT, I don't feel that this tube is going to give you the performance you want.
(The amp that is built in may distort quite a bit and underdeliver)

I would find a good lower cost sub, and power it with a good clean amplifier. $77 can buy an excellent 10" sub. A good 200-300W amp will run you around $100 or so new.

I know the above is a bit overkill, but it's not too far out of your initial target.
Alphasonik amps are absolutely amazing for not only build quality, but sonics as well.
They are also power houses - but for $119 its a steal for that monoblock.
(not to mention very pleasing to look at with the lexan covers)

If you go to Gilbratar you can get subs for like 100 and amps for around 100. I bought my 1206T Audiobahn from there for 110 and called Audiobahn when it literally caught on fire they said it was 500 new. I got a 2500watt Volfenhag for 115. 1000 watt amp A/B block for 100 and a 1500watt A/B block for 105.

If you go to Gilbratar

Does the Gibraltar have new items, or are they used items with cut wires still dangling?

[Fox Slaughter]

They are new but probably stolen haha.
