as u can see the price difference aint much. soooo...i need u guys to tell
me which is best for me.

the sub will be paired with an Agako EG-2000D Monoblock amp and will be
used to listen to METAL \nn/. specs of the amp are as follows:

EG-2000D
Mono block 4 ohm / 2ohm /1 ohm operational
Balanced low input jack
Line out (pass through)
Variable low pass filter 24dB / oct (40 ~ 230Hz)
Variable bass boost at 60Hz (0 ~ 18dB)
Protection circuit for Thermal, Sp Short, DC Reverse & DC Offset

this is the specs for the Agako XT-3000D, which according to the
fellers at Agako Electronics, are exactly the same as the EG-2000D...except
for some minor
difference in the Frequency Response. specs in above remains the same.

Frequency Response 15Hz~250KHz
RMS power at 4 OHM Stereo 350W
RMS power at 2 OHM Stereo 700W
RMS power at 1 OHM Stereo 1200W
Max Power 1500W
T.H.D 0.1%
Input Sensitivity 200mV~4V
Input Impedance 10K ohms
Damping Factor >200
S/N Ratio 100dB


i need something that lasts meaning can take a good beating.

one more thing...was also checking out the Alpine DDDrive 12" (DDW F30A). cant seem to find specs online. mebbe coz its a discontinued model? any thoughts on this one? heard that the DDDrive are quite legendary.

that is not correct

madman,
my vote goes to MTX

Jackhammer la....

Jackhammer? Cannot la.. It need at least 6 piece of 1000watts true amplifier to support this woofer.. I forget this woofer need how many watts to support it. I saw it at Pimp My Ride tv show.

that sub looks nice nia
it doesn't really sound nice
totally outta control

cmon guys.....anymore votes on the woofers i posted?

count so far...

4 for Type R (3 from AW forum)
1 for MTX

anymore

+1 for type r

MTX better !

okie boys and girls....just got back from doing the sub thingy.

went for the Type R.

although i preferred the Type S @2ohm...i was worried about burning the sub coz even for a short test can smell something liao.

tested the Type R at 4ohm with some tweaking and yummy. so decided to go to the safe side



**total spent on ICE so far RM9370 **

bro..post some pics...it would be nice

bro RM9370 include all the above in ur signature?

Alpine CDA-9833
Prokick 75w RMS x 4 channel
- Front : Alpine Type 'S' 6 1/2" Components *With Stinger RCA cables & Stinger speaker cables
- Rear : Force Ten 6 1/2" Components *With cheapo RCA cables & Stinger speaker cables
Agako EG-2000D Monoblock
- Alpine Type 'R' 12" Sub (SWR-1221D) in custom sealed enclosure @ 4 ohm *With Stinger RCA cables & Stinger speaker cables

My advice bro, stop going to that shop you spend your money at and look for others. Almost RM10k for all that is... questionable.

I had a PHD2200 (200w x 2), JL W3v2 sub, Alpine 9855, Alpine MRD605 (600 x 1 at 2ohm), Helix Competition A2 amp (150w x 2), Dynaudio 240MKII comp speakers, Phoenix Gold Zeropoint RCAs and full Stinger speaker cables. All new and paid just slightly above RM11K

RM1000 more than you only leh.

But aiya.. nevermind. End of the day it just boils down to whether you like the sound it produces or not.
