    Few questions about high end subs

    My roomate and i were discussing stereos and we have a few questions:

    What are the best speakers out there?

    What about the Adire Brahma's???? What can a 12" hit? How much power do you have to give it???

    Any pictures of the brahmas in a box???

    What other brands are compairable?

    High End Subs, Adire Brahma, the RE XXX, the JL W7.

    The 12 can hit some decent #s its no SPL sub though, works well in sealed and ported enclosures. The Brahma give it 500-1200 watts is fine.

    The B15 Extreme is more of a SPL sub, but its not cheap.

    The Partheon is a supersub, too bad its just a tad pricey ;).
    Thats my 2 cents.

    Tad pricey, haha, good one, can I nominate that for gross understatement of the year?

    How much is a B15 Extreme?

    Parthenon...man I wanna see one in action. That thing is awesome.
    Life's a heavy price to pay, but when you're dead, there's no complaining.

    KFC-XW1300DVC 13" Subwoofer.... I got it from my local stereo shop.I am only pushing 800 rms through it and it sounds better than any two+ sub system I have heard.I can't handle the rattle of my brain when its cranked...everything in the car bounces.... it is in a ported box fireing down.... freaking unreal..... thought it was a fair price at $650

    Who makes that sub?

    Somehow I got a feeling that the Brahma and XXX are both louder and better sounding subs for about $300 cheaper.

    The B15 Extreme is about $700 last I knew. It's essentially a Brahma 15 with a tougher cone and a double layered brahma VC. Scottie Johnson burps 9 of them with 8000 watts each hitting numbers nearing 170 dB on the new TL mic, not an easy feat.

    As far as I know, there have been no videos of the Parthenon in action. Adire is being secretive about that.

    That sub above is a kenwood sub.

    $6,300 for the subs alone. Wow....
    He could have gotten a Parthenon for that much....

    Yeah, but the Parthenon was probably just an idea at the time he built his van. The Parthenon/Apocalypse has only been public knowledge since January. Besides, I got a feeling that the Parthenon isn't legal in the Super Street class.

    I'd be one ticked off mofo if I bought one of them and found out it wasn't legal in competitions. Although, it would still be worth it just to be able to say I own one, nonetheless be able to set off every car alarm within 200 ft while driving through town.

    By the way Scottie J is sponsored he doesnt pay $700 for subs. And yes it was just a idea back when he built his van, nothing in the design sage just that they can make a monster woofer thats all. So yea who knows what he will do for the next season maybe something new. Maybe Brahma Extreme MkII just something I been working on I mean ehh thinking about. Dont know if it will ever come out haha. Or what it will be called but there is something new coming out eventually...
    Thats my 2 cents.
