Whoever is about to buy Subwoofers

These subs are excellent. If you guys were interested in buying 2 12s I would consider these. No, I dont know the guy.

Those speakers are one of the top 3 subs for best sound quality. The best price I found online for them is $199 each. The good thing about these subs, is they can get loud when they need to. I'm not into a lot of Bass. I like bass that has good SQ, and gets decently loud. I just bought one for my setup to replace my blown OZ 300L (another good SQ sub, but can't take any power whatsoever.)

Dyno_CL-S, or anyone for that matter, do you know of a good place for custom audio installs down here in Miami? Most places down here like to do everything ghetto style and I hate that crap. Hopefully they carry Infinity Perfects too and are on the cheap side Thanks

I plan on just adding 2 10" Perfects in a band-pass box for now and maybe upgrading the rest of the speakers sometime in the future.

ROD, i know this guy could do the installs and could get "hot" products for you if you wanted. his installs are pretty nice and he is about to open up his own custom shop in a couple of months in broward. his name is jose, he's looks ghetto but he's a really good guy. i trust him with my sh*t so dont worry about. let me know if you want more info.

I tuned my system from the time you heard it. I should be getting in my new sub in about 2 weeks. If you want to hear my system then we can meet up. If you want vocals you should upgrade the interior speakers.
Wait till I get mine done, so you can hear the difference side by side.

Hey Spiro-
Do you need to upgrade anything else once you get subs? Like an additional Amp? And where would you recommend the best placement for these subs? Thanks

Yes you do need amps for both the sub(s) and the interior speakers. Ive tried facing the sub every way, and the best way to face them is by the tail lights. I also removed my 6x9s, and that helped the bass out a lot. I also found a bad ass way to get rid of the rattling done by the back board where the 6x9s lay.

I got my stuff installed at Abt electronics. Since I am adding an EQ, and interior speaker, I might try to do it myself. If I am successful I can help you with your system. If not, I will be calling a stereo shop, and doing the system for me

I wouldn't buy subs from a/d/s. I've heard the $1300 px sub and it sucked ass!!

Heard the regular ones are ok...nothing special.. and definately not worth the price. I've heard tons of subs and have owned tons in the past.

The make nice overpriced amps and component speakers. I'd highly recommend these.

Kind of expensive...$500 for Comptech springs, installation, and an alignment.
