RE: I Need a Sub

Renard, Try this place, prices aren't too bad, free shipping on some stuff.

Thanks for the advice Jim and Berk.

I'm not into building a box. My time is limited and I'd rather spend it
making my car go faster. I'm willing to pay a couple extra $s in
shipping for a sub already mounted in a box.

Still looking for something in the 8-10" range.

Thanks all,
Renard

Yes, but keep in mind the fact that in a properly designed speaker,

the

driver is "mated" to the cabinet, with the volume of the cabinet,

whether

or
not it is ported, length and diameter of the port etc. being dependant
upon
the driver used.

Frequency response, free air resonance, etc. of the driver all come

into

play.
A quick google came up with this:





Also please consider a couple of relatively small (8 or 10") drivers,
rather
than, say a 15", which in the Scirocco will leave a big hole in the

sound

(ie no midbass).

Jim
