SHIT LOOKS CRAZY- I PERSONALLY SEEN A HATCH WINDOW AND QUARTER PANEL WINDOWS BREAK FROM THE DEEP BASS OF 3 JL AUDIO W7'S THOSE WOOFERS ARE INSANE BRO- THAT SQUARE ONE LOOKS LIKE A SOLOBARIC- L7'S???? [patriot]

Posted by WIKD 281 (Member # 40) on :

Is that the video on Streetfire.net? I have had good luck with the W-7's and like the way they sound. I havent heard any of the Brahmas or the RE XXX. Here is 4-w7's in a wakeboarding boat. BOOOM! [patriot]

I witnessed the Gates Bronco when it was sponsored by PPI... some chick sat in the door way when they cranked it up and it looked like the chick stuck her finger in a light socket... hair went everywhere. You aint seen nothin till you seen something like that.

Posted by WIKD 281 (Member # 40) on :

I have seen pics of that Bronco> not sure if it was the same one> does it have about 8 alternators that are chain driven?? Crazy stuff> very cool [Cool]

Posted by Avengeance (Member # 5163) on :

Heres a pic I found with a quick google search... this is their Kicker truck. Do a search on "Gates Bronco PPI" and youll find their links.

Posted by Avengeance (Member # 5163) on :

Heres a front shot of their current sponsored Bronco... this is the chain driven alternator setup. LOL

Thats weak. I could bounce a full 40oz off of the roof of my old GT with my TREO 15's. I worked at a stereo shop, and we installed two 18in solobaric L7's in my bosses navigator as a demo car. It was knocking shit off of the shelves four lanes acroos the street at a gas station. The navigator was weighed down big time in the back. But im not into all that shit anymore. Now when the bass hits all I hear is "steal me steal me"

Yeah> thats the chain driven setup. Coolest alternator setup Ive seen. I just loaded down mine with batts. In a boat its not great to have your motor running all day and gassing people out.

i'm a jl audio guy myself 12 inch w7s are it to me

Posted by cummins (Member # 5931) on :

Personlly I think JL is overpriced and not all that great. Just marketing that's all. I ran old school JL 12w5's LONG ago, easily over a decade ago, and back then they were cool. Then they started sponsoring events along with PPI and MB Quart and they got HUGE. Their quality is now just above average but their marketing continues to be great, therefore they still very popular. I think PPI isn't all that great either anymore. Hell I had the old school Pro Mos 450s and still nothing compares to that this day from PPI. I bought ppi stuff right when they opened and they were great amps using Orion technology. To this day I still love the Orion HCCA shit that stuff is bad ass. All this new solobaric and SPL crap isn't for me. I like my music loud, clear, and with a great range with smooth transition. I'm more of an SQL type of person.

Any old school people here remember the Zapco 3 board shit? And how about the old school US AMPS we called skateboards. hahahahah How about Sound Stream Reference that shit was clean! Great shit for sure.

If you think the W7's are cool try listening to the Brahmas or XXX's, they will blow the doors of the W7's no comparision at all. These Brahmas and XXX's transition soooooo smooth and are absolutely flawless in sound. Their range is awesome too. And the amount of power the XXX can take is unbelieveable!

i saw that last night on svtperf i think.thats stupid crazy.way too much bass.my 2 12" JL w7's are way more than enuf for me.

To be honest, most of the frequencies the sub is making are too low for the camera's mic, so it sounds distorted.

That's TOO much bass for me tho.

I usually burn that 36 mafia song onto a CD when ever I put in a new set of subs... to hear/feel them and give them a good break in.

If you are an adire dealer then you must like the XXX too. Those are 2 of my favorite subs see my post above.

Posted by Dusty122 (Member # 4480) on :

yea the RE stuff is preety cool. ive been meaning to stop by their place in vegas when im out there.
i just read ur post about the old skool stuff u had. ur right about the ppi stuff. Their old stuff is sweet as all hell but the new stuff is utter crap. all the directed line is crap these days which include all the new soundstream stuff. Oorion still makes awesome stuff but i almost ahve to put them in the JL catagory because their stuff is nice but damn expensive.
If you like the sound of those subs. check out the elemental designs stuff or ascendant audio. ascendant is a company out of colorado that is leasing adire's xbl^3 motor and selling there stuff for about half the price. im planning on running a pair of their avalanches in my stang.

Posted by cummins (Member # 5931) on :

I have a friend that runs ED stuff and it is nice. I do like the Brahmas and XXX a lot better though. But that ED sure does have nice SQ. I directly compared the Brahma and XXX and what I noticed is that the Brahma is more efficient while the XXX take more power to drive it, but it can also handle more power. Both sound absolutely amazing. I compared both in a 2.35 cubic foot ported box tuned to 32 hz. Yeah I read all the specs on the subs but we know how specs go in real life. But from the specs of these 2 subs I'd say they are right on. I still have my old school HCCA's (not the gen 4 and later crap) and a few old school monster current drawing US AMPS ground pounders. I agree with you on Sound Stream being crap nowadays. I still have my old reference 500 from back in the day and it sounds sweeter than anything they've produced today. And of course 1/4 ohm stability is nice. Now I run the vacuum tube US AMPS for my mids and highs while running the HCCA or US amps for my subs. I have to say that the HCCA is a cleaner amp and transitions much better than US Amps. These HCCA's are so clean that I even run the little 225 for my mids and highs in some cars. I still have to say that they are the best overall amps. I hate this class D spl shit.

I hear ya. My thing is any thing that make your car rattle from the bass, sounds like shit. I love the cars and trucks you can hear from 20 blocks away thumping while the license plate frames and all other loose crap is the shit making all the noise

Can you even still buy Brahmas?? Everytime I go to look for them they're on backorder forever. If you can get me some I'm still interested in a pair of 12s.
