Ok well I went to pick up the Boston G5 sub i wanted and found out that they didn't have it in stock.

I have been reccomended a few other subwoofers, I cant decide which one will suite my needs so can those pros give me some advices.

But what I'm after is soemthing to give me more bass, nice boom not wanting to win any comps or anything, just want some nice clean bass. I am going to be putting 1 single 12" in a integra type R, so I would prefer something lighter.

So which one of these subs would provide me the best bang for my buck ?

Boston G5 dual 4 ohms $460
Focal 27A $ 220
Focal 33A $ 305
Crossfire BMF 1228 $ 280
Treo Tsi12.4 $280
Alpine Type R $280.00
Phoenix Gold Zr12D4 $300.00

I'm wondering how these subs compare to the G5 and would the Focal's be the best in this group ?

Thanx again for any help guys, i appreciate it

Where do you live?

Find another store don't give up on the G5

[vteca]

I'm in sydney, its more of a matter of getting the G5 for that price, i think everyone else charges a lot more than that.

The sub i currently use willl fit your budget too, but take 8 weeks to ship from the states , but maybe the weight might put you off.

G5 $460!! Where?!

[roughcactus]

Those prices are seriously cheap!...where are you getting the gear for that?

[MADTRAV]

Boston gear is great, the type R's are also.
Where did you get your pricing.

You might want to clarify that those prices were for a week long sale we had. They are not our usual prices. Always keep an eye on our specials because they constantly change.

You might also want to have a look at the Crossfire XT212 and Diamond TDX12.

Buying from overseas is hurting our industry. Local businesses can offer a far superior service than our overseas counterparts

[vteca]

Thats why i'm asking for reccomendations other than the Boston G5, so if you have any advice on the above subs please give it, as mentioned by FHRX there are some good specials.

So far no one has said anything usefull, except that the boston G5 is a good sub.

So opinions please...

oh and correction, i have not ordered anything yet, but those are my choices

[Kev]

Yeah I'm kinda looking for opinions on the IDMAX and G5 (with/without the radiator) and other subs in that price range. (The sub will prefferably end up in a 40ish litre sealed box)

it's made famous by Metallica, i think.... Kev...
Both the g5 and id max are awesome musical and hard hitting subs. my personal choice is the g5, i have 2. It'd work well in a larger box ie 40l, will play really low.
But in saying this the ID is great and i knowone who's got one complains.

If your looking in the price range you stated earlier, try the alpine R 12 or the boston G2. both perform extremely well, the r probably a bit lower hitting, the g2 more musical.

Also worth mentioning is the Eclipse 71 series, awesome, installed quite a few, and the MBQuarts in the Premium and reference range, these are very musical
