After all this talk about jbl subs and promising I'd get one, I was bored and went into local halfrauds cos they bin clearing loads of stuff out, (hence vibe 5.25 comps for 20quid) and I spotted this kicker es sub in proper kicker box etc, i've always liked the look of it, it was stacked up with a load of other mutant crap and some vibe bits, so I asked this young kid how much, he said could be 15 or 25quid, but he asked his gaffer and he had a look and it came up as 40, so bought it, still a bargain but I'm sure they made a booboo cos it had 150 on it then 99 last week! So will get it connected tommorrow, typically i've had nothin to do on my 3days off and pick this up tonight, lol,
never had a ported sub box, so be interesting to see what's it's like, and at that price if I don't like it, if I get same back its no bigy,
what you would want to do (if you are up for it) is build that sub a massive box with a slot port at the bottom/side of it, it won't cost very much at all. The box will need to be fairly large so you probably won't have much space left in the boot. I could design you a box for it if you want... all you would need to do is buy the wood (B+Q) and cut it (B+Q will do some of it for you) then put it all together, like a very easy 3D jigsaw puzzle
. I would advise you to listen to it in the box it is in at the moment first and then (if you are up for it) build a box for it and listen to the difference
kells is just very opinionated and makes sure his point is put across.
yeah when i know i am right, no point kissing ass and not saying what i think like many others on this wonderfull forum
speaking from exp pal, been driving round in cars with big systems long enought to know and trust me JBL car audio really is JUNK BUT LOUD
try something like focal/rainbow etc and you will know waht i mean
If that is to me then I don't need to try either, I have and I was not too impressed. Rainbow are too bright and focal you are mainly paying for the name/the same can be had for cheaper.
much of what snoopy says unfortunately correct
bonkers or otherwise
I have been around for a while too
long enough to know that if you buy JBL you will think you have spent twice the money you actually have.
Just so you know I am not some kind of JBL fan boy, I don't own and never have owned a single piece of JBL equipment, the equipment I do own (some of it at least) would not even have been heard of by 90% of people with upgraded stereos.
