at the time i posted, you didnt have a budget up

RnB = SQ?

Sounds more like you need a good alrounder.

$500 will get you a high quality 600W amp, leaving $500 for a single good sub.

I'd go a really nice 15. Good 15s hit as "hard and fast" as 10s or 12s, but give more bass for the money.

any brands would you recommended??? my mates selling me the Alpine M500 and i was looking into the eclipse 7100series??? what you guys think?

Look at my posts about new jaycar monoblock, it is $400 or $319 if you 2+ (so buy one at the same time as a friend or someone on this forum) Then spend whatever on sub but I am looking at Image Dynamics 12" ($699) or JL Audio ($850) DD Phil has also provided info. on Digital Designs 12" ($899) but it will come down to what sub suits the enclosure in the install ('88 Supra)-

Hey DD Phil, how would single 10"2510 sub and single 15" 2515 sub sound in car?
I want the 10 to pump fast and punchy and the 15 to pick up the low down where the 10 phases out - Could I run this set up with single channel jaycar amp (800wrms)

No

Comeon guys give me some info????? M500 and an eclipse 7100 series does the jobs??? =( need some input

[HighPingBastard]

You want SQ? Then you want an IDMAX or the IDQ subs...they sound awesome.

I also like my sub (the HPS12), but then again maybe I'm biased =D.

Go listen to some subs and pick one up yourself.

[VtirBoy]

so you reckon the current set up is no good??? i listen to a few subs and i find eclipse is very good for for around 450rms!!! any suggestion??

[gooki]

If you like it buy it. My recomendation would be to go for the Digital Designs 3515 sub with a 600-1200 watt rms monoblock.

I really like our 2515 also, it has 1000W musical power handling. Teamed with our 600Wrms C2 amp it makes a cheaper option that can deliver lots of hard, fast, clean & low bass.

To answer the other question about running a 2510 and 2515, I'd just run two 2515s if you have the space. DD 15s (like other very good subs) tend to sound just as good as 10s. Don't let anyone tell you a 15" can't hit "hard and fast". Often people think I've got six 10s in the back, not a 15".

If fact a reviewer made that comment to me recently when he auditioned our 18" 9917.

the only way you are going to answer that is to go listen to a 7100 sub..
the amp dont matter really, the alpine will be fine as long as you load it down to the correct impedence.

go get in you car with the yellow pages and drive to as many car audio stores as you can and listen to everthing in your price range
what ever sounds the best to you is the one to buy!
