Whats Best For Car Subwoofer - Jbl Or Xplod (sony)

[crankshaft]

hi,

im planning to buy a 15 inch sub for my car and considering two sub woofers, both are same same price, nearly same power, but one from JBL and one from Sony. What do you guys think is the best one to go?

Thanks

Sony is good.. But I'd go for the JBL..

Also, what are you gonna power the Sub with..? that too will make a big difference..

[SpEeD FrEak]

Go for The JBL.The amplifier and the enclosure will make a huge different in Sound.And also the Amp must be fine tuned.Anyway what is your Head unit??

[fuzzo]

can someone elaborate on some of the pricing for subs, enclosures, decent amps. maybe even decent speakers.

iv a xplod and it does not give that extra punch. When i looked into why it isnt so, with sony being a good brand and all... apparently sony audio is more bent towards the 'natural' sound. Its the same with all their audio products.

But i wanted the extra punch lol

hows fusion ?

[SpEeD FrEak]

Fusion 12'' Sub will cost about 24k (Not sure)

Different speakers sound differently in different vehicles.

I installed the Infinity active-sub. 250 watts. Cost me 35k. It saves space...

neither is worth the head-ache you get after being in a car with a sub for two hours

believe me, I'll never ride in my cousin's even if I had to walk

kidding...go ahead and pimp your ride!

Whatever sounds best for you.

Ya.. that is some thing most guys do... having a sub doesn't mean you gotta run it full volume..!!

Are you talking active or passive? And what plans on the amp? its difficult to comment without more info and the models. Brands wise I'd stick to JBL

Does active mean that u can use the sub without an amp? how much will such a sub with decent quality bass cost?

tks.

[Elvis_Pil]

Yup you can use a sub without an amp- if the some is an active one. You will need to power to power it like a normal sub and will need a compatible head unit with a sub out. I guess you can get a decent passive Blau sub for around 15k maybe? Active's will be a lot more- towards 25-30. I've not been in the market for ages so these prices maybe obsolete

well active subs are the ones with a built in amp that usually comes with it's own enclosure. where passive ones are just un powered woofers that needs a enclosure and an amp to drive it...

if you're looking for very good quality...i would say JBL or Sony isn't the best

Rockford Fosgate, MTX, high end audiobahn, Jl audio are good stuff but they aint cheap and need a good amp and a head unit to perform well...

and "decent quality" is very personal and quite debatable mate

some folks are happy with an active sub, some are happy with a good set of 6x9's and some others really need to thump their ball* off

If you're not an audiophile...no need to bust a lot of moolah... even an active sub would do it me thinks...

if not a JBL sub too would would do it with a a decent monoblock amp...

you're in a bit of bother only if you need really really quality bass

that costs quite a lot...

that's the best way forwards me thinks

the latter has "fusion" subs... and they pack a good thump

they've hooked quite a few of those to a mini they use as a demo car... and that thing can rock your dentures off
