All you guys raving about the G5... is it an awesome SQ sub aswell or just a SPL monster??
I've got a Focal 1.800 and I'm currently trying to figure out a decent 12" sub for it to run, but purely for an SQ system. |

Theres heaps of good SQ orientated subs to consider. We are raving about the G5 in this thread because hes asking for a direct comparison of two, and asking what to go for.
Depending on your budget, you should be looking at: Morel Ultimo Focal 33KX Diamond HP12 IDMAX 12 Boston G5 and theres probably a few more that have slipped my mind at the moment... -------------------- - /////ALPINE - BostonAcoustics - rainbow - TOTAL RECOIL - Stinger - Aerpro - - CAASQ 2007 Australian National Finals - Equal 3rd Place - Amateur Street - - CAASQ 2007 NSW State Series - 3rd Place - Amateur Street - - CAASQ 2006 Australian National Finals - 2nd Place - Amateur Street - :Trusted Buyers/Sellers: - poisoner - trism - Fhrx - Gozza - nee - Leviathan - mac_man_luke - edy - advance - Vazard - - SStealth - Deftone2k - Westy87 - cc1206 - hilas07 - Gonadman2 - SMI7HY - Elmo - keeddlez - MRVJ - - SINTX3 - orsm-vs - FL0SSIN - broadz - Nic - MR_XR6 - Syd_pulsin - TEGBOY - nemesis - sliksilvia - sanzy - |

Duckboy: IMO the G5 is more for SQ - it goes loud with some power behind it but pretty much any good sub will in the right box. The Boston SPG555 is more impressive for SPL apparently. The reason we're "raving" about them is like mad89 said - the thread was started by a poster asking for a direct comparison between the G5 and 2 G2's.
Have a listen to a G5 if you can. I think it would go well with your Focal amp but of course there are others out there. -------------------- Useful link: Setting amp gains/sensitivity (_/) (O.o) (> <) QUOTE (devolutionary) I'm not sure what ERROR 2 is but I know what ERROR 1 was and that was spending your hard earned on a doorstop dressed up like a headunit. |

Yep i need to go listen to some quality subs, time to scour Melbourne for Boston gear!
I'm used to "only" Alpine type S and type R so i suspect i may be in for a pleasant surprise... |

--------------------  Those interested in ACT events click here! QUOTE The only excuse for passive crossovers is their low cost. Their behavior changes with the signal level dependent dynamics of the drivers. They block the power amplifier from taking maximum control over the voice coil motion. They are a waste of time, if accuracy of reproduction is the goal. QUOTE (~Spyne~ @ Dec 18 2009, 10:05 AM) my vibe tastes like hedgehog slice |
