I went to best buy to look for some subs for my 2001 honda civic lx coupe and I was wondering what you guys think of these subs?

They sound awesome I just didnt know how good these speakers are.

109/ each at best buy but its 140 for 2 of them on ebay. Plus 38 dollars for shipping.

I really like the way those subs look, but I can't tell you anything about sound quality because I never heard 'em. Good price though. Go for it.

Thanks for the responses.

Anyone else familiar with these subs? What is the difference between the p1, p2, and p3 subs?

Also, I have an alpine 9833 and when I listen to it at a certain volume, about 23, it cuts off. I read a while ago about connecting it directly to the battery. How would I go about doing that? -If that is how to solve the problem. I installed it myself.

I wasnt sure whether to start a new post or just post my new question in here. Afterall it is all related to my "system."

the p1 and p2s are SVC, the stage 3 is dvc in either 2 or 4 ohms... the p3 has a higher power handling obviously but thats basically the differences... as for sound quality im pretty sure they will sound good, just get a good amp that matches the rms, i had a p2 myself but in a 15, it sounded ok..

Hm...

What would you choose instead? Something that sounds better than ok?

it's pretty much up to you, there are so many brands u'd just have to listen to peoples stereos (in the car) to get the best idea if you like a certian brand or not, I personally think RF and Alpine are great for subs. Pioneer is one of the cheapest brands, makes great HUs and also if done right their subs can sound "ok," if you're trying to go really cheap.. lots of people like Kicker, Image Dynamics, I've heard Infinitys before, they're GOOD. tons of others I didn't even mention.

Ok. I really appreciate your feedback.

I was talking to someone at work and he says that JL W6 subs are very good subs. Combined with a good amp he says that they sound great. Would you agree...out of personal experience?

I dont have experience w/ W6, but JL is a WELL known brand my friend had a w3v2 and it was EXCELLENT!

sure its 800 watts. The seller is selling 2 subs. Each sub is 400 watts peak X 2 subs = 800 watts.

Doesn't matter about the 800 watts though. Always go by RMS and not peak.

What does rms mean/do?

^^^ lol....... means continuous sine wave power........ never look at the "max" power of a box man... look at the rms

all you have to do is run a 10 gauge wire from your hu directly to the battery. I also have the 9833, and had the same problem a few months ago. Never got around running the wire though. It stopped turning off. A few days ago I turned it up to 35 (max), even though I don't think its such a good idea. The poor amp started distorting like crazy. The only s*itty part is that you have to drill thru the firewall to get to the battery.

ive heard good things about those subs.. but i dont like that they have "punch" written on them..


as for the wire to the battery.. you could drill a new hole.. or you could go through the hole that the throttle/break cables go through.. might also want to throw a fuse on that line..

Thanks guys.

What do you think of the JLW6's?

One last question: What do you mean by "throw a fuse on that line?" (Excuse my ingnorance).

My friends have those, 2 or 3 of my friends actually, and they hit hard as hell, and clean. Get em, Thanks for the link, BTW.

I didnt have to drill through my firewall, and I wouldnt recommend doing that. Especially if you are unsure of how to hook up a system. When he said throw a fuse onthat line. What it means is, within 1FOOT!! of the battery, on the power wire to the amp, you want to put a fuse holder. You will want a fuse with the right power for your system. (I sounded like a noob, forgot the word im trying to remember). The fuse holder should come with a fuse, just get one that says for the watts of your car stereo. They should say something about it?

I've got a pair of the 12" Infinity Kappa Perfects and I like the way they sound. They also get very loud (Directed 750d pushing the both of them).
