X3 not worth $450
I'm not a fan of Lanzar products... Most of their stuff is trash... however I've heard that the OPTI line is not like their cheap sh!t..

From the other thread he made. I figured id copy and paste to this link since it has the most responses now.
http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/502989.html
me...."Lanzar was a decent product before they went out of business but later pyramid bought them out and took over. They are not good now. For that kind of money you can buy a solid product from other companies that will out perform that sub woofer and are built much better."
elandman...."Damn. Then ill have to broaden my options. Any suggestions? Looking for 15inch that does some serious damage!!"
me...."If your looking for a sub woofer thats a spl monster a digital designs subwoofer would be the one for you. A 3515 would be a level that would get loud with decent sq but you will need to give it around 1200 watts. What vehicle do you have." |

Sean has his crystal ball out :D
Yeah, Lanzar is trash now. You could do MUCH better for that price.
Look into some other brands like:
RD
DD
AudioQue

Ive got a Renault hatchback. Running about 3000w rms amp at mo.
Ive been running 2 lanzar 12's for a year now at IASCA shows, so cant enter same class again.
So looking to go 1 15inch, either sealed or ported box, still deciding.
But in meantime im looking for a nice spl 15' sub that can handle some serious juice. |

"Sean has his crystal ball out :D"
haha yeah
Those companies Nick mentioned are also good. I wasnt a fan of the Fi subs because of some problems they seemed to have but im told they have a new woven design out now so the tinsels shouldnt be an issue anymore. |

Budget is about $400,
I've got 3 amps, StarSound 12k, StarSound D7000, and a Lanzar MXA282.
The Starsounds are made locally in SouthAfrica, and most of us use them for SPL here.
I chop and change between amps depending on who im competing against and what the flavour of the day is |

For $400 sean? I was thinking more of an Alpha or a BTL.
I'm not sure about what power those StarSounds put out, but if it's nowhere near 2.5k+, then the 9500 series will not perform like they can. |

I've seen them in action and sound impressive! But here in SA they have a FAT pricetag on them, about $8/900 in SA rands equivalent 
What do you guys think about MTX's. They visually impressive, they cost a fortune, but do they perform?
And Hifonix?
Shot for all the prompt responses too :D SHOTALOT! |

Eland, MTX are decent subs, but not worth the money also.
Hifonics are a good budget brand. I have ran a few of their amps with no problems at all. I think Ray runs a few of their subs.
For new, the Alpha or BTL will be probably your best bet. |

Good find, Sean.
There is already 14 bids. Maybe you can luck up and win it for the price you want  |

The StarSound D7000 puts out about 3000rms at 1ohm at 14.4volts
The StarSound 12k puts out around 4000rms at same voltage and ohms. And occationally push up to 16volts then puts out close to 6000rms. Capable of 7500rms at 18volts.
Now obviously 1 sub wont handle all that power, but looking for at least capable of 2000rms without making clouds of smoke and fireworks. Also capable of bassboxing on occation.
Shot guys, will keep looking around :D |
