i have been chatting to a mate who can get me a lil discount at jaycar, so i want to do a 90% jaycar setup (minus headunit, dvdplayer but might buy the screen)
im checking out the subs and i am unsure on what one to buy. im after 2x 12's but there is the metal coned 10's. so im asking for your opinions. whats your experiences with them? what ones do you recomend? first up is the : 10" Profile Metal Coated Cone Subwoofer http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.as ... BCATID=396 
next is : 12inch 4 Ohm Subwoofer - Double Magnet http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.as ... BCATID=831 
then : 12" Precision Response Carbon Fibre Subwoofers http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.as ... BCATID=831 
and quite possibly (due to price) : 15inch 4 Ohm Subwoofer - Double Magnet http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.as ... BCATID=396 
my initial plans were the carbon fibre woofers but i have been told that the 12 inch 4 ohm dual voice coils go better/ just as good |

i currently have a JBL GT4-12 sub which i put in my gf's car running from a boss amp and it goes pretty damn well.
i also sold my mate the 12 inch dual voice coil one before i got to use it (bought second hand) but it goes pretty good on his system too. i just want something that will handle the bass when i turn it up |

Well in that case imo and someones bound to disagree - I wouldn't be going Jaycar.....simple as that... If you are gonna go with them...I'd be getting the carbon fibre 12"...sheerly because of the much larger RMS output. What jaycar i take it mono amp/s or amp/s do you plan to run 2x Subwoofers off?

i went into jaycar today and the carbon woofers are HOT!!! i will be using the jaycar 1500wrms monoblock as the 800 has issues with them.

Yeh people have been giving good feedback on the 12" Response Carbon Fibre Subs but that amp is going to be overkill for them. Your best bet would be to get one of these
http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.as ... &SUBCATID= and buy two of the carbon fibre subs and run them off that at 2ohm. Each will be getting 255rms which should be plenty for what your looking for.

ill be using those ones for my speakers (2 of)
i know its overkill but i might expand to 4 subs in the future so im better off getting the best now. im having 4 front speakers and 4 rear so the 2x150 amps will work out perfect for my setup |

I have just swapped 2 jbl 12 for some of jaycars proline 250 watt RMS subs they have a cast alloy frame and poly cone.I havent seen them in any of their catalauges I got them on sale from 200 each down to 80 each as they have a new range coming out.Not only do they look the s**t they pump pretty hard.I will post the model number and a close up photo tonight {couple of pics from a distance in my gallery}if you like

The carbon fibre one if your going jaycar.
The vennom i have used a lot in very budget systems and they sound average if you ask me.

No problem's good luck with the construction.
Mine is 32mm MDF and 12mm bullet proofglass, so allow some funds for purchasing materials.

im using the kevlar splits from jaycar, rated to 75wrms each but im running 2 speakers per door so the 2 speakers get 150wrms which is 2x75wrms so it equals perfect, the rears will either be splits to keep the same look (the yellow) or the cheaper coaxels which are slightly less powerful but ill be using the same size amp for them but just keep the gain down.
ill do a pic of what i want |
