car subwoofer build .... suggestion please ...

[Naveenbnc]

Hi All ... im about to build a sub for my small car.
I am thinking of getting this driver.

https://www.amazon.in/Sony-XS-NW120...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=XZ0W06EJ9RGEDN62YZGA

I got some specs from sony website (image attached)
But no info on voice coil size etc.

Can any one suggest alternate or better drivers in similar price range please ....

I had a Sony xplod system in my car ages back. It was a good performer from what I remember. You could Also look at Rockford fosgate r1, which is a decent subwoofer.
Btw why don't you try one of those iwai subwoofers you have with you?

 

[Naveenbnc]

i built both sealed and ported with Iwai .... just want to try other easily available drivers too

Avoid Sony totally, they SQ is really bad nowdays ,

In that price get JBL woofer in sealed box of 1cu feet sealed box .

JBL CS1200 ..

Few of my friends are running & sounds pretty good .

 

[Naveenbnc]

some reviews say Pioneer gives relatively thumping bass, and JBL gives softer bass.
I don't have first hand experience though.

Since this is a ported sub, I need TS parameters.
I couldn't find them for Pioneer and Jbl. That's one reason to look at this sony.
But thanks a lot for suggestion !! I will look at JBL CS1200

JBL also gives a TIGHTER KICK , bass is is pretty good on JBL which is amazing for the price .

That is one woofer which amazed me for the price !

Pioneer is good as well but new age pioneers i have't tried so i cannot comment .

Yes I agree the market is full of fakes unless you buy from a genuine distributor or store .

Also, consider kicker subwoofers. A friend of mine used pioneer subs and he was extremely satisfied with it. My car has kicker components powered by the stock crappy Headunit but and the bass is really nice.

Try JL sub as well. Am using one and it is good as well.

Gald you're here. Remembered your car while reading this thread. It is bit expensive, otherwise a sure go to sub.

Tried both pioneer and JBL and I got huge bass, there is lot of low end rumble, but bass quality is very bad. If we are particular about accuracy, Iwai sealed is relatively better in car.

 

[chiraghbir]

get JBL instead its much better performing .

What is the amp you are using? Try HAT Imagine or Clarus. I am using both in my cars and happy with it.

You tried it in a sealed or ported enclosure for JBL? Also how much did then IWAI cost you.

Rather than going with Sony go with JBL or Pioneer's driver!

 

[Bhushandn]
