They look good, i have an astra now and i think a double sub would sound good in the boot. Dont know what else to get

crap

much better off with JBL as stated, Infinity or Pioneer in this price bracket.

I quite like the Vibe CBR as well, though some dont rate it.

Get those JBL subs, i have those ones and payed over £50 a piece for them.
the bass is amazing on them, when i look in my rear view i can see the back screen shaking.

Not bad actually, and not that bad a price concidering its halfords, because if you buy that new anywhere else, you will safe £40, but delivery will be £30, just as well getting it at halfords! Its got everything you need and a good warrenty!

So yeah..... Not bad..... I have two kenwood subs running of a 600W kenwood amp and sounds beast, just bridge the amp so you use the whole 600W @ 2 ohm rather than the fuds on here that buy a 2000W amp, 1 sub and think they have a 2000W system! Chances are they'll have 500 max!

Go for the JBL you buy 2 at ebuyer if you like for £28 each and get free delivery. Or get that trade pack of 2. :)

its all good man. Jbl is 5* rated everywhere and probs the best you will get for the money.

10-09-2007, 12:38
best for money aint allways a safe bet , verything in tht budget might be ****, but if you want a bit of bass go for it , but it wont be no street basser, so many chavs buy jbl thinking it gonna be so loud,

JBL budget amps and subs consistenly scores well in FastCar and similar magazines for SPL against far more expensive gear.

No it aint the most refined nor has the best sound quality but you wont beat JBL bang for buck.

I had a GTO 75.4 it cost me £75 and pumped out 104wrms per channel over 4 channels, find me another amp under £100 that will do that.

JBL are THE budget gear. In fact some of their high end stuff is hard to beat as well.

I have a fusion sub and i get quite a few comments on how good it sounds, and thats one of the old school encounter ones.
Nutkin
10-09-2007, 21:48
old school high end fusion wasnt bad tbh. but they decided to make more budget stuff to make money :(




I am installing my sub at the moment andhave gone for jbl but the amp i got off ebay for £30 and is a 75.2 and is 97wrms per channel and i think thats awesome for the price

^ Indeed.

Power output is brilliant for the money.

I like the 75.2 and 75.4, but they do not do their rated power at all. More like 80W a channel at a push. That's still a fine figure.

im getting the same sub as you, in fact ive ordered it already with a jbl amp. how did you find the sub when listening to music?
partridge_88

Very nice indeed. Could do "booming" bass if thats what your into but I generally kept it fairly low.
