(4) ED 13KV.3(black cone) or 13KV.2(silver cone) if you call them you can probably get them for 75-80 each which is a little more than u wanted to spend. |

the key to good output with low power is finding an efficient sub.
look for something with a treated paper cone, and foam surround, and don't assume that a bigger magnet means it's better.
I've got a set of Cerwin Vega LE12D 12" subs made back in 1989, that are rated for 125w/coil (250WRMS per sub) and in a large ported box, using two of them in a Ford Festiva, @ 160 watts RMS each, I was hitting well into the 140dB range with a perfect C weighted curve.
The subs are terrific, clean, they were cheap, and don't need much power. It's mainly because they have an efficiency of something like 92dB compared to the typical sub these days rated around 82-88dB |
