Sub Research

Just doing some research but which sub would be better out of these 3 options as far as bang for the buck looking to do maybe 4 audiopipe 3000s 1 per sub. Incriminator Audio, Audioque, or Atomic? Sub size will be 18s.

Aq !

i know the euro's use the Dung Pile out of atomic, and to me they are the ebst on the planet hands down.

im liking atomic out of that group myself since i have used many of them in the past

fish he said 4 3k watt amps per sub man

no he didnt

Just to clear it up 1 amp per sub

He meant 1 amp per sub. Those amps are dirty. In power handling order ... My opinion you will cook the AQ 4 layer coil. Although they are great woofers and great for spl that's the only down side I see. Then I would say the IA would come next. Im not sure what series your looking at but that should be a MT style 8 layer that's kinda thin wire. None of them compare to the 8 layer atomic uses. Even in the lower line ELE it's as thick as the apx. Thats the truth.. not being a fan boy cause i use atomic lol .. but atomic woofers have so much going for them im glad i made the switch back to them last year. Maybe tonight ill try and post some comparison pics tonight to show.

ahh well correct in that case the more efficient sub would probly be the best

Why not recone the woofers you have and pit all 4 amps on them. How in the world are you fitting 4 18s anyway.

cooling would also help in keeping the coil togather

and atomic is king in this class for that

Wall at the b pillar 4th order bandpass

Oh boy.

you think its a bad idea?

No. I think the person who probly put it in your head building it is a bad idea.

i am with alan on this man everyone is building them damn bandpasses thats all you hear now bandpass this bandpass that, they are loud true enough but like i have got from a guy who runs db drag they are awesome for music an some spl but you can't get them loud over night. your gonna build an build on them bitches an it maybe next year sometime you will gain a full db. your gonna go through baffles an money for wood. good luck with what your doing though man do yo thang just k now i wanna demo of it when ya do.

4th orders aren't that bad.

Dave lol I did not know you new that . You must of read that some ware .
Just a joke.

Everyone is right here
Bp r pretty good iv played with them
Did good some what

But TONS of work an LOTS of time .
Most people give up before finishing them .

But good luck

I see you are running sb4. Welcome to the club. What kind of vehicle are you planning on using? Also if those are the choices then I would say Atomic, AQ, then IA. But that also depends on which series of these subs you are talking about using. But with the power you are using I would say like Alan and say run 2 18's and run 2 amps per sub. That is how Fred's Explorer is setup. Fred is running 4 DDZ 15's and 8 Sundown 3500's 2 per sub on 9 Batteries and 1 Mechman Alt. Which may get changed out this year. But he hasn't decided if he is going to or not. Depends how things play out this year.(If anyone gets close to his score.... joking!) Anyway if you need any help with setup or what not give me a pm or something. And before you say to yourself oh he won't help me because I'm in the same class. I try and help everyone regardless of what class they run. PM 2003f150 or 91Explorer or dbdaddy and ask them about if I am willing to help out. Anyway good luck on your build.

I'm using a 96 blazer

I had no idea that atomic was that good

Kimon is tha man I do say however Freds score will not be easy to beat if he can do what Kimon told me he did at a local show Robert we are all here to help and we may all have a little different opinion on things. So take advice and go from there with it.
